One night, Talon, the current owner of Lon Lon Ranch, got drunk. It was rather usual, since he was almost a lazy bum, but this time was different. He had gotten a crazy idea, he looked at the herds of cattle (And Gannon's mother!) in the field. Thinking irrationally, he thought that said pasture, wasn't good for them. And in the dead of night, opened the gate. Thus letting the cattle roam freely. Which caused more problems, one went rampant, damaging the other properties of the farm. Crops were destroyed, eaten, and ruined, the stables were now a mess of destroyed woodwork and manure. And to top it off, all of the farm animals were released and are now roaming the ranch and a bit into the plains. Hell had broke loose.
The next morning a mad pounding was on Malon's door, her father spoke in a mad, raging tone, "MALON GET UP!" he yelled, "GRAB THAT BEASTKIN AND RETURN THE HEARD TO THE PASTURE!" he soon walked away almost stomping, out to the stables, where he was going to fix the damages.

Malon slowly woke up and wiped drool off her face. She was never a pretty sleeper and now was not the time to change that habit. "What ever I'm coming let me get dressed." she stood up and slid off the old white shirt she used to sleep in. "Attlas." She said to the boy in the near by bed ((Space was cramped on the farm so many of the farm hands had to share rooms and Attlas had the privilege of sleeping in Malons.)) She slid on her day clothes and gently nudged him. "It's time to get up! We have work to do!"

Attlas was in a ball, wrapped in his tails. He slept on the floor by Malon's bed, he was fine with it, taking it rather stoically since he had no place to complain. Though the nudging woke him, "Hmm..." he groaned, sitting up in his usual shirt and pants, the rest were neatly folded into his pillow, "What's wrong...?" he asked, being one of the three ranch-hands gave him an advantage, yet also meant more work. Though he nodded with his ears twitching, "I don't hear the cows... I'm guessing they got out again..."

Malon gently smiled "Yup dad got drunk again. Get dressed." She said stepping over him. She opened a drawer and slid on a skirt that matched her shirt quite well "Alright how bad do you think he fucked up this time?" Malon asked crossing her arms after she slid the skirt on. "Twenty Rupees says he lost the cattle and broke the barn."

Attlas nodded, "Yeah. Judging by the woodworking, you'd be getting that twenty rupees" he said before rising putting his boots on. Though he looked outside at the hot summer day, "I don't want my coat today. Do I?" he asked rhetorically, as he put the other things on. He nodded and looked at Malon, "you ready?"

Malon smiled at Attlas while he wasn't looking. She still couldn't believe she virtually lived with her crush "So is your wife really ok with you staying with another woman?"she asked with a small frown. She really liked Attlas but Zephyr liked her and she didn't want to break his heart and didn't want to steal Lydias man.

Attlas smiled, "Lydia understands. She knows I work here, and my job needs me here" he explained, knowing his wife would understand, as he opened the door Talon was coming back to make sure Malon was awake,
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN MY DAUGHTER'S ROOM?!" he asked in a stressed yell, it wasn't normal for Attlas to be there to him. Nor was it natural, since Beastkin aren't really liked. (Racism is strong)

Malon sighed and shook her head "Dad I said he could be in here ok? We're not doing anything bad! I'm single and he has a wife. And kids." she explained reminding herself that she wasn't good enough for Attlas. That had to be why he chose Lydia right? "Come on Att." She said pushing her way out of the room. "Let's's get to work."

Attlas nodded before walking out from the utterly shocked Talon, "Why do you keep talking yourself down about me Malon?" he asked, generally curious about his friend, "You're fine" he said smiling, knowing he and Lydia both liked Malon, "If anything, I'd think Talon would talk you down, I mean, he kinda can be an asshole..."

Malon sighed and shook her head. She could tell him that she was dying on the inside every time she saw him. She had grown to love him dearly but would never have the courage to tell him just how she felt. She opened her mouth to speak but stopped herself "It's nothing don't worry about it." She said quietly. She silently walked outside and shook her head "Damn it dad."

Attlas looked at the damages, "Aw hell. You're right. Dammit dad!" he said in an irritated tone, the farm needed serious repairs. And to top it off, the cattle were loose. Along with a majority of the horses. He looked at Malon, "Your dad really fucked up this time!" he yelped, before noticing a scared heifer. Except it was charging at the two, Attlas immediately responded, pushing Malon out of the way, and in a display of strength, stopped the cow and put it on it's side. Head on as well. He looked at Malon as he reached a hand to her, "Found one!" he jokingly said to her.

Malon yelped and fell on the ground staining her dress with mud and leaves "Ow..." She said slowly standing up. Her hands stung and she looked down at them. Yeah, she had scraped her palms and quite badly. Nothing she couldn't handle. She hid her burning hands behind her back and smiled "T-thanks." She said through gritted teeth "Well let's get to work!"

Attlas noticed Malon's palms were scraped, "I'm sorry." he said as his fox fire healed Malon's hands, "I didn't mean yo hurt you there." he said hugging her a bit, "Now. One cow down... How many more to go?" he asked not positive how many cattle there were on the ranch, though ready for any number.

"Three dozen." Malon said quietly. She nedded to be with him but at the same time it pained her. "Look let's get this over with so we can get back to relaxing." She ordered crossing her arms. "Lets get to the main field and corral all the cattle we can find there first."

Attlas nodded, "Should I change into my full fox form? To herd them there?" he asked smiling, knowing that he pains Malon by being close, he knew how others felt by their voice, with his acute ears, he could tell different variations in other's voice. Though he remembered something, and evilly smiled a little, "At the end of the Day, Malon, I have a surprise for you."
