"Something came for them," Evan states gently. "Maybe the same thing that took my father, or maybe something worse. But all the humans are gone. Except me and you. Kris, maybe... we're special? Maybe we were meant to survive what the others didn't?"

"Mhm. Do you have humans in Hometown?" He's fairly sure the answer is no. Evan has nothing against monsters, he prefers them to humans if he's being honest, but a whole town of them disappearing is pretty concerning.

"Still gone. It'll be five years this month." He toys with the hem of his shirt, the tips of his ears turning red with anxiety. "He's not the only one. I got home from school one day and my village was empty. Nobody around for miles. No phone connection. Like the human race just vanished."

"Mhm. My dad was a police officer, he went missing one day and there was no trace of him. I've searched every Dark World there is, but whatever took him is constantly on the move." Evan rubs at his arm, averting his gaze. "And it does have him. He didn't just leave us."

"It... is part of being human," Beau said decidedly, snuggling into Adam. "Humans aren't told by their ancestors how to live, they forge their own paths. It's time I do too. I... hope your daughter likes me."

"I went there too, before the monsters moved in. Hometown made the area into a school, the monsters built it up, but a fountain existed before then. The Dark World was empty, though. Completely barren. Void of anything." Evan pulled a folded piece of paper from his pocket, revealing it to be a »

"Object permanence..." He blinks owlishly as he realises that this is a statement with no context. "What I mean, is that a supply closet will continue to stand for some time. Maybe decades. Anyone in there should be safe from fountain closure. A-Anyway, you went to the school in Hometown, right?"

"She only let me nurse for a few months, but luckily, her decision to leave was made in the garden of a man who lived near the forest. He loved feeding the deer, and upon seeing an abandoned fawn, he took me in. I matured into a stag under his care, and he »

"I... need it back," Evan states diffidently. "But you can keep it for now, I don't plan on injuring myself further, heh..." He watches them, playing with his fingers as they answer. "I fell into one by accident as a teenager, and I've been chasing them ever since. I like them."

𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮 [Hiatus] @deertrickster.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

"And then you abandon it in a forest." He clasped his hands to his mouth as he realised his thought had just become words. "Sorry! Not you! I... I just... I was thinking... my parents... I was... I never knew them... I was raised by a doe alongside her fawns after I'd wandered into her territory."

𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮 [Hiatus] @deertrickster.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

"You probably should." Beau replies calmly and softly, wanting to make it very clear that he's not upset by the news. "I couldn't imagine being a father myself..." Too young at heart.

𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮 [Hiatus] @deertrickster.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

"It helps when I'm achy," Evan responds with a little nod, handing the spray over. "Nice to meet you, Kris. How long have... you been coming to Dark Worlds, if you don't mind me asking?"

010

𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮 [Hiatus] @deertrickster.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

"You have a daughter?" This wasn't something he knew about Adam, and though it wasn't a deterrent in the slightest as Beau liked children in a paternal way, it still came as a surprise.

000

𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮 [Hiatus] @deertrickster.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

"Evan," he replies cautiously, as if just uttering the name will get him hurt. "Um, Evander, but... Evan... is probably better." He rubs anxiously at his shoulder, causing his hoodie to pull to the side a little and reveal the tip of a scar. "It's... worth a try. The magnesium... I mean."

010

𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮 [Hiatus] @deertrickster.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

"The last human?" he clarifies softly, before reaching into his pocket and pulling out a magnesium spray. "Oh, um, you could try this? Good for aching muscles, aids with sleep as well."

𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮 [Hiatus] @deertrickster.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

"That sounds amazing! I don't know what I want to do, but—" He paused, then, as if waking up for the first time, spoke with more certainty than he ever had before. "I want to be your husband. Oh, and a baker! I want to create pastries and cakes for people!"

000

𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮 [Hiatus] @deertrickster.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

"Y-Yeah, I..." Evan clears his throat softly, then takes the hand and gently shakes it, his skin warm to the touch. "I thought I was the last one... I'm so glad that isn't the case."

010

𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮 [Hiatus] @deertrickster.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

"I want it. Adam, my role for so many years has been to protect the forest and its inhabitants. It was exhausting. It was painful. I never had any signs that I was even doing it right. I've been alone my whole life, preserving an ecosystem that would've functioned exactly the same without me."

000

𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮 [Hiatus] @deertrickster.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Although it looks like he wants to flee at first, Evan manages to maintain composure and stay in place. He exhales slowly, hoping this isn't a trick and he really is about to meet another human "H-Hello?"

010

𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮 [Hiatus] @deertrickster.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

"I... I know." Beau's arms tightened around Adam, his worries suddenly melting away as his resolve strengthened. "It is because of you. Because I love you. Because I want to be part of your world."

000

𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮 [Hiatus] @deertrickster.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

It would definitely make Beau upset, he strives to be a pacifist. "Maybe that's why I'm human now... I did my job so badly that my ancestors exiled me." He looks up at Adam with big soft eyes, needing cuddles and further reassurance.

𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮 [Hiatus] @deertrickster.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

"No, I... I think I was wrong. If people need meat to live then I should have been guiding hunters instead of scorning them!" Existential crisis time. "But they... they didn't respect the forest... so... so that means they were in the wrong, right? Who... who needs to eat deer to survive? Or fox?"

000

𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮 [Hiatus] @deertrickster.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

@darkf0untainsealer.bsky.social He freezes as he spots a figure across the way. Another human? He'd believed he was the only one, but the silhouette is unmistakably a Lightner. Evan stares at them in disbelief, then timidly lifts a hand in greeting.

𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮 [Hiatus] @deertrickster.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

"My people... aided hunters, you know? They used to guide arrows into prey to benefit those who had to eat to survive. Provided that respect was paid, heroka would guarantee them a successful kill. Many successful kills. I've never supported that, believing that hunting is no longer necessary. But—"

He giggles and stands on tiptoe to give Alastor a kiss on the nose. "Thank you. Now, are you coming to Rapturous? We've got a fresh batch of meat coming this afternoon."

000

𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮 [Hiatus] @deertrickster.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

"And that right there is what I'm going to pin you on, Alastor, sir." Beau taps Alastor's chest with his finger, flicking his ears. "Because if you can be content where you are, so can I."

000

𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮 [Hiatus] @deertrickster.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

"Well, if we get redeemed, we can spend the rest of our days in Heaven," Beau told him with a little smile. "That's the goal, right? I mean, Charlie's goal. The hotel, and all that."

000

𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮 [Hiatus] @deertrickster.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

"Sure, that sounds like fun!" Beau tipped his head a fraction as he recalled Adam's earlier statement, his fluffy ears making a reappearance now he didn't need to disguise himself. "I never knew that humans needed meat in order to stay healthy. I've been pretty behind the curve, huh?"

000

𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮 [Hiatus] @deertrickster.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

"Like... milk and eggs and stuff?" he asked, tilting his head. "I... don't know. They're not hurting any animals, I don't think, so... maybe?"

010

𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮 [Hiatus] @deertrickster.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

"I've never eaten meat before, I mean, I'm a herbivore." Beau cuddled into Adam, rubbing gentle circles into his back. "I can't exactly preach protecting the animals and then consume them..."

000

𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮 [Hiatus] @deertrickster.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

After what likely felt like hours, Beau emerges. He has a comically large white dressing on his head, held in place by tape. "Hey," he greets Adam softly. "I've been discharged. I've got no lasting damage, but I do have anaemia. Whatever that is. I've been given iron tablets and told to eat meat."

000

𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮 [Hiatus] @deertrickster.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

"It's going to be okay, everything will be. Though I do feel... I need medical attention." Before Adam's eyes, the blood is turning red. A light red at first, then the deepest crimson. "Could you take me to a hospital, please?"

000

𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮 [Hiatus] @deertrickster.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

"You've always had that ability, even when I was at my strongest; but you never have." He reaches up to cradle Adam's face, gently brushing the tears away. "You never would. You're a good boy. One that's deserving of so much love. Please don't cry. I'm okay. We're okay. I love you so much."

000

𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮 [Hiatus] @deertrickster.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

"You're not still ruminating on my accountability are you?" Beau asks gently. "If you hadn't killed that hunter, I'd be on his wall by now."

000

𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮 [Hiatus] @deertrickster.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

"I... don't want to change that. If I'm becoming more human, I'm better connected to the world my ancestors left for me." He cradles Adam's face and kisses him softly. "Not just to the plants and the animals, but to the people."

000

𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮 [Hiatus] @deertrickster.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

"You won't lose me, I..." He touches the back of his head, gold staining his fingers. It makes him blink in surprise. "I... can bleed... I've never... I was always kinda... impervious to the corporeality of this plane... but I guess I'm... not... anymore?"

000

𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮 [Hiatus] @deertrickster.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

"Hey, it's okay." His hair is matted with blood and there's quite a large cut where whatever they struck him with made contact. "I'm the killjoy that stopped hunters from shooting at 'game', there are bound to be people who are mad at me."

000

𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮 [Hiatus] @deertrickster.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

"I'm so sorry. I got a little bit hit in the back of the head with something heavy, and then I woke up... a few minutes ago, ehe..."

000

𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮 [Hiatus] @deertrickster.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

He chirped and nuzzled all over Adam's face, tail wagging softly. "I'm sorry, my people had a message for me. Was I out long?"

000

𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮 [Hiatus] @deertrickster.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

"Heh, yeah... I don't think I'd be much for conversation if someone was coming to cut—" He stops, shivers from head to toe, then reclaims his hand and beams. "Anyway, I'm kind of in charge of preventing that! Protector of the forest, flora and fauna, you know? Every sentient form matters."

000

𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮 [Hiatus] @deertrickster.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

"I guess it's about perspective," Beau mused, nuzzling against Alastor in hopes of getting pets. "I get to be with the man I love and do a job I enjoy, I'd say that's worth celebrating."

000

𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮 [Hiatus] @deertrickster.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

"Ah?" Blink blink. Looks like he's alive again- "Adam! Hi!"
