[It's been way too long since Dos has spoken up or had much to do with anyone. Aside from his work and association with the other staff members, he's done little more than sprawl out and sleep or hang out in the forest.

Today isn't much different from any other. From the treeline comes Dos, lumbered steps one of a rather contented man. Over his shoulder he carries not one, but three decent sized bucks. Blood marks his jaw, his hands and the front of his clothes and his sleeve is torn. If the Helcian has any issue with this, he doesn't show it.

Pausing just clear of the forest, he stops and digs his journal out of the small bag slung across his back. For a moment Dos seems to consider, then, he speaks.]

Oi Rapunzel.

[It's hard to miss the smile in his voice. Dos might not have much to do with the guests, but Rapunzel is definitely one of his favorites.]

Happy Birthday, girlie. Come by the stables when you get a chance. I've got somethin' for you.

[The feed shuts off there. Dos starts off toward the kitchen to deliver the deer, after which he'll be heading back to his stables.]


((ooc: Open to all. Feel free to run into Dos along the way or reply on the journal! :3))

...You do?

[Well then. She's going right to the stables, then!]

[bloodtothebest]

Yeah. I got the date right, didn't I?

[He'll let her have what he's got for her anyway.]

Gimme a minute to get back over there. I'm just dropping some things off.

[70ftandcounting]

You did.

[She's hurrying over to the stables.]

Of course! I'll see you in a moment.

[bloodtothebest]

[Knowing that she's on her way, Dos makes some effort to hurry up. He doesn't linger in the kitchens where he normally would, instead dropping off dinner so that he can be on his way.

When he gets to the stables, Dos makes some effort to wash the blood from his hands and jaw. That on his shirt will have to stay for the moment.]

[70ftandcounting]

[She's there waiting for him when he arrives, though his appearance is a little...uh. Scary.

She's smiling anyway, and goes right up to him and hugs him.]

Dos! I haven't seen you in forever!

[3wayforjustice]

[Hey Dos. Remember this guy?]

[He totally remembers you, but really wasn't expecting to see you all bloodied up. Which is a cause for concern, naturally. So he'll move to stop him in the hallway.]

... Are you all right?

[bloodtothebest]

[How could he forget?

Dos halts when Anders stops him, his back straight and chin slightly raised as he looks down at the mage. At the question, he cracks a grin, sharper than usual teeth coming into view.]

I'm fine, Anders.

[He rubs his jaw.]

A man's gotta eat, y'know?

[3wayforjustice]

[... Oh that's lovely.]

[He can't help the face he makes, hearing that one.]

You're joking. Aren't you?

[bloodtothebest]

[His smile fades a little. Dos frowns.]

What? I'm not allowed to catch a meal here and there?

[3wayforjustice]

No, I...

... I just didn't think you were serious.

[bloodtothebest]

[He rolls his shoulders and makes an amused sound.]

I'm a Helcian. We like to hunt and we like meat.

[Dos slaps Anders on the shoulder.]

Not grossing you out too much, am I?

[3wayforjustice]

I can see that. Belatedly.

[The mage staggers, catching himself on his staff.]

I've seen worse.

[bloodtothebest]

[He doesn't even try to hide the chuckle that comes with Anders staggering.]

You caught me at a good moment. How you been, anyway? Still got that uh... boyfriend?

[3wayforjustice]

[He sort of. Gapes. Does the whole keep know about that?]

I... boyfriend? How did--?

i'm sorry

[bloodtothebest]

[And thus the chuckle became a laugh. Oh Anders, you're hilarious.]

Yeah, the blond. You two still shakin' the rafters or what?

FFFFFFFFFF

[3wayforjustice]

-- How did?

How did you know about that?
