Shy Deer Steppes you’ll be loving a lot but you don’t know why

Phillip had gotten too comfortable with the idea that he had been abandoned by the crew. When he heard that familiar howl he nearly had a heart attack. The fact that he was able to get up and run towards it was nothing less than a miracle.

Oh god, oh god, oh god, was the only thing that he said during the trip. Because oh god, this was the day he'd meet his end. The only excuse he had for the lack of prey was 'I was scared'. 'I was scared' wasn't going to cut it.

It takes about a half hour to get to the steppes. He wished it had taken longer. When he saw Hoppers glare he thought he'd die on the spot.

Phillip walked forward with his head low and his tail tucked. I'm sorry, he blurted, I'll get it soon. I-I promise.
