[[Rubi]] is initially untrusting of other animals, and will not accept favor gifts until a certain level of favor is reached(Ed. To reach the favor level where [[Rubi]] : Like Family or better? Needs to be determined. Still will not accept direct gifts, speak with them every dayeven at Best Friends). Every 24 hours, speaking to [[Rubi]] will result in +10 favor. Another way to gain favor with Rubi is to leave quantities raw meat in the Warden storage chest, which she and the other foxes and [[Pickles]] will eat at random intervals, leaving gnawed bone piles behind. If they consume your meat, you will see a favor increase next time you speak with them and they'll thank you for leaving it for them. The foxes and Pickles generally prefer quality meats over cheap.
