"Fox trotting" during a fight is a non-violent ritual where two foxes stand on their hind legs, place their paws on each other's shoulders, and push back and forth with wide-open mouths to settle dominance or territorial disputes without getting hurt.
"You're the cutest, you deserve this territory"
"Not at all good sir, you're cutest-er and your smile is contagious."
"You take this territory or I'll smile you to death!"
"Try your hardest, you adorable puffball!"
