EDIT: If you want my meta reasoning, it flows from Tobs' choosing to make patsluttery one of the primary kitsune racial TF experiences. One of the more consistent things that I see from kitsune players is that they like pats. Hence: adorable dork. Also hence: more pats, if they are good.
I can't do it on my main champ cuz of Kas but I totally didn't make a seperate champ a kitsune purely for the sake of getting access to pats. A lot of the kitsune adjacent stuff isn't that appealing to me but I do love the floofyness and the pats. It's a good thing Ryn can't give pats or I would die.
On that note, I would like for non-kitsune champ to get more access to pats. My champ is currently waiting around in KM for the main quest to continue but will happily take jobs from future NPCs and be paid in pats. Please.
