Minakat hummed as he made his rounds. He hated cages, so his animals were kept in pens. He lifted up a little Glorn pup, and cooed at him. "All right, Sasha. Let's take a look at that paw baby boy," he cooed at the animal. The injured pup whinned as Mina placed him carefully on the table and examined him. He sang a little song to the animal as he examined him.
Once he had patched up the pup, he placed him in his own pen. "Alrighty, who's next?" He asked.
~~~~~~~~~
Mina sighed, as he made sure the aniumals were good for the night and he headed home. He blinked as he heard a low whine coming from a side alley. Mina frowned and headed towards the noise. He gasped as he saw a shivering, tiny form in a corner, in a battered cage. He moved closer to the animal, frowning as he knelt to open the cage and gently lift the bloodied, beautiful little thing. "It's alright, beauty. I'll fix you up. You're a Jshiko...aren't you? So you can hear me; don't be afraid." Mina said as he looked at the surprisingly heavy fox. He lifted him and headed back towards his home.

The alley was dark and smelled like stale urine and garbage. For a time, Oliver had struggled about in the too small cage, trying to break free until he tired and simply lay in the dark confines of the barred box.. He wasn't sure where he was or even what planet he was on. Everything had the last week, filled with terror and dark. He moaned piteously, pissed that he had managed to get himself caught.
There was a sound nearby, but Oliver was too tired to care. When strong hands picked him up, finally releasing him from the cage, he only shivered. He ignored the garbled words being spoken, but they sounded nice so he merely let himself rest boneless in the stranger's arms.

Mina arrived at his home, opening the door and placing the battered animal on the table. He hummed as he went to grab some medical supplies. "Alright beauty, just head off to sleep. You'll be right as rain in the morning." he smiled, as he hummed one of his favorite Sensaforian tunes. He set about gently cleaning the fox and wrapping his wounds. He offered him a bit of vegetables to eat, to see if the Jshiko would take it.

Oliver's tail twitched in agitation, his ears plastered to his skull. He ignored the food, suddenly coming to doubt this person's kindness, despite the soothing words. When a particularly painful cut was touched, Olvier hissed, baring his teeth while somehow managing to jerk away from the male despite his fatigue. Oh, how his instincts told him to bite!

"Shh, beauty." Mina said, with a caring expression. "I'm sorry." he said in the little Jshiko he knew. He set about leaning the fox's wounds more carefully.

Growling lowly in the back of his throat, Oliver remained still. Finally when the male had cleaned him all up, he let his body relax and fall into sleep.

Mina set the fox on a large, fluffy pillow and cleaned up the animal blood. He headed to shower and bed, yawning. He hummed "The Heart of Life," his uncle Crat'ka's favorite song. His voice was quite beautiful, light but still masculine, like his bearer's.
"No, it won't all go the way, it should,
But I know the heart of life is good..."
He covered the fox in a soft blanket before heading to his slightly empty room. Mina didn't too much care for bedrooms--they were like cages to him.

The male's singing was soothing and Oliver found himself enjoying the song immensely. Such a pretty voice. He'd have to thank the male tomorrow for it seemed the stranger didn't mean any harm. For now, Oliver readily nuzzled into the soft pillow, not waking for the rest of the night.
----
The next day, the fox yawned and stretched, getting up from his bed. He was feeling much better this morning, not that things were looking up. Greedily, he lapped up water from a nearby bowl, slurping loudly.

Mina rolled out of bed with a thump, groaning a bit as he sat up. Bah, mornings again. He got up, yawning as he looked at himself in the mirror. Oh cool, stubble. Perhaps he'd shave today?...Nah.
Mina dressed and headed to the front room, humming a new song. Everyone that knew him knew that he was always singing, or humming, or smiling, or smiling while singing/humming. He looked at the fox, and smiled at him. "Hello!" he smiled. "You're looking much better, beauty." He smiled, before coming with another bowl of water and some cut fruit and vegetables. He had plenty, seeing as he was a vegetarian himself.

The fox nearly jumped through the roof at the male's sudden entrance. Holy shit. Frowning as only a fox could, Oliver scowled, ears flat. Though the appendages instantly perked up at the sight and smell of food. He's thank the male...in a minute. Just as soon as he finished gobbling up the food.

"I am drivin' down, 85, in the, kind of mornin that,
lasts all afternoon...just stuck inside the gloom,
Four more exits to, my apartment, but
I am tempted to, keep the car in drive,
and leave this shit behind..."
"Cause IIIII wonder sometimes,
about the outcome
Of a stiiiiillll, verdictless life..." Mina sang to himself as he packed a lunch. He hummed the rest of the song, even dancing a bit.

Oliver, just to be contrary, howled as the male sang. He didn't think it was bad of course, but he couldn't let the other know that. Stretching again, the shifter trotted over to the singer, twining gratefully around his legs like a cat. The male was GOOD person.

Mina laughed, a clear, low sound as he knelt to rub the fox's ears. "Hello to you too, Beauty." He grinned, happy the Jshiko seemed to warm up to him.

Oliver groaned happily at the petting. If anyone should be described as beautiful it should be the strange male. The fox found he liked the open, kindly face of the male. Yipping, he licked the blond's cheek in gratitude.

Crat'ka smiled. "I don't suppose you want to stay here?" he asked. "You can come with me, if you want, and we can see about getting you to shift and tell me about how you got in that horrible cage." he cooed to the fox, petting his ears a bit more before standing. "Sound good, Beauty?" he asked.
