The fox

You pick up on atmosphere quickly — who's uncomfortable, what shouldn't be said right now — and adjust accordingly. You rarely come out of a social situation worse off.

Being calculating isn't a bad thing here, though people sometimes say they can't tell what you're thinking. With people close to you, one layer fewer is fine.

Works well with

The panda — Unhurried, but likes people. Easy to be next to.

Clashes with

The owl — Says little, sees everything.
