"Hey, where'd you go lil buddy?" Brian called out into the forest, looking for the stray fox that he had found only minutes earlier. Brian knew it wouldn't do so well out there by itself, especially with a hurt paw. A little while ago, he had found the little cub limping around, his paw bleeding. Brian had managed to bandage it with a part of his sleeve, but that was only a temporary fix. He had wanted to take it to a nearby vet to get it looked at, but the little thing had gotten scared by some noise and run off.<br/><br/>And so, here he was, wandering about the forest looking for the bandaged little cub. As he walked through the brush and trees, he kept a look out for the fox, muttering to himself, "Aww, where'd he run off to? I'd like to find him in time, and then maybe go to that party. I could probably find some good musicians there. But finding that fox comes first, I can't sleep at night knowing that it's out here hurting. OW! Yeah...that was a branch. Oyy...now I'm hurting."<br/><br/>As he stumbled through the forest, now holding his head, he heard a noise. As he reached the edge of the clearing, he noticed the little fox cub. Smiling, he went to go catch it, but stopped as he noticed the real source of the noise. He hid behind a bush, and noticed a girl. She was cute looking, and had a guitar case on her back. Brian concluded that she was from school, perhaps on the way to the party on the other side of the forest. As she was walking by she noticed the little brown cub, and went to crouch down next to it. Using his keen eyes, Brian could tell that the girl was trying to help the little thing. Brian smiled at the girl, it was always nice to meet someone who would go out of there way to help a forest creature. Even though she was late she stopped and tended to it. Brian chuckled a little when the fox slapped the girls hand. Brian knew, as a fox spirit, that most animals did not take kindly to other beings and creatures, as they usually only viewed animals as food or entertainment. Brian decided to step out of the bush. The girl was surprised for a second, but Brian just crouched down near the two of them, and held out his hand. "Come on little buddy. Let's get you some help." The cub almost immediately ran up to Brian and scurried up his arm onto his shoulder, despite having a hurt paw. It must have wanted to be near one it could trust, such as himself, who was close to kin to the fox. After petting the creature reassuringly, Brian turned to the girl.<br/><br/>"Thank you...for trying to help. I appreciate you taking the time to look out for him. As you can see he's a bit frightened. Judging from the wound, he was attacked. I was gonna take him to see a vet, and I could probably walk you to the party before then, how's that sound?" He gave a smile. As he looked at the girl, he noticed that she had the look of a wood elf. Wood elves were known for their strict law about not loving animal spirits. It didn't really bother him though, just because they couldn't love the spirits, didn't mean they couldn't be friends right? He held out his hand to the girl. "I'm Brian by the way. Brian Ramirez, I think we have a couple of classes together. It's nice to meet you." As he said that, his senses picked up a few movements and auras, most of them hostile, "We should probably leave now. I can tell there are some things here that don't appreciate our presence. Shall we go?"
