Fact: In Doc Potter's arms is a remarkably runty little demon rabbit.

Fact: Doc Potter's hands are suffering from first-degree burns, and his sleeves are singed.

Fact: The demon bunny is, even more remarkably, asleep, and has a muzzle firmly affixed on its snout.

Fact: Doc Potter looks about thisclose to conking out.

Fact: Never before in his life has Doc Potter ever attempted to adopt/domesticate an animal.

Probable: He wouldn't mind a decent conversation.

"Where'd ye find 'em?"

Unspoken is why in the world are you taking care of him.

"Out by the lake," Doc replies.

"I, um. I don't think the pack really wanted him anymore."

[will_scarlett]

"Oh aye, that's kind o'ye then. 'ope 'e 'asna given ye too much trouble."

[didntmakeitout.livejournal.com]

"He's certainly done a lot with the time he's had," he remarks, holding up his reddened hands as proof.

[will_scarlett]

"Aye, 'e 'as. Might be able to find ye somethin' cool for yer 'ands too."

[didntmakeitout.livejournal.com]

"That would be excellent."

He feels like he's being a bit of an inconvenience but one good turn deserves another, right?

Will searches and soon returns with an ice pack and something for sun burn,

"Na sure what this is 'xactly but think it might be o'some aid. Dinna think we've met 'fore, I'm Will Scarlett."

"Thanks," he mumbles, as he takes what Will offers.

"Doc Potter. Pleased t' meet you."

"I -- I guess," Doc says, a little sheepishly.

"'S my job."

[will_scarlett]

"What's yer job then?"

[didntmakeitout.livejournal.com]

"Uh."

A beat, and Doc laughs to himself.

"Doctor. More specifically, vet."

[will_scarlett]

"Na sure what that means."

[didntmakeitout.livejournal.com]

[will_scarlett]

"Ye're a farrier?"

[didntmakeitout.livejournal.com]

"You could say that."

[will_scarlett]

"Pays 'nough for ye to just care for animals?"

[didntmakeitout.livejournal.com]
