out of season

It seemed as though luck wasn't entirely on his side today. The young man had gone hunting as usual, hoping to help fill the stores for winter. He'd been on the trail of a fat doe. While attacking her, a buck had valiantly come to her rescue. Beat had been kicked pretty hard in the ribs and one prong of the bucks antler had stabbed into Beats shoulder. Tail tucked, the dual toned man ran away as fast as his paws would carry him.

The closer he came to home, the more his ribs hurt. Blood dribbled from the puncture in his shoulder. What a mess. If he didn't find a healer, he'd be sorry for it later. Lake ears perked as the dark form of Theory came into view. She was a healer, right?

Beat approached, his tail swishing back and forth in a friendly manner. "Hey, Theory. Do you think you could help me out?" A slightly bashful expression crossed his dark face. "I had a run in with an angry deer."
