Summer 13, Year 2

It was time for Chicken to return to the Junimo Village, but before they left, they wanted to introduce Beep to someone new!

Without Magnus or Camilla to tell Beep the scroll was written by a child Junimo looking for Starfruit, Beep had to be introduced to the young Junimo by another one of the magical spirits. The young Junimo, called Apple, was looking for friends to play with! Beep still gave them some Starfruit seeds for... whatever it was they were planning, and promised to come back and play!

Alone again, Beep was walking back to Avalon Farm when he saw Shane and Jas hanging out near the pond. Jas was kind to him, so Beep stopped to say hi. The townsfolk had noticed Beep was missing a few feathers, but nobody knew how or why. When Jas, who had only seen chickens moult before, tried to touch the newly emerging feathers, Beep flinched away and instinctively wing slapped at the hand. Thankfully Shane had predicted this and put his arm between Beep and Jas, and the wing slaps were more scolding than harming, so there was no damage intended and no damage done. Shane explained why Beep reacted that way, and to be careful when on that side of Beep so the pinfeathers weren't damaged, as that would damage the new feathers as well.

Jas gently pet the covert-covered area of Beep's wing to show she understood, and for Beep to show he hadn't meant any harm by accepting the contact. It was under Shane's watchful eye during this that he noticed a few covert feathers were singed on their edges. Had something happened in the Mines? Or was this from someone in town who wasn't very accepting of Beep's presence here? After spring, where Shane was around farm animals and had recognised the sign of a gravid beast, and no sign of a young... whatever Beep was... he was starting to worry for the creature. This was no deer, but he also hadn't seen anything like it. That meant it was far away from whatever normal habitat it came from. Was it intentional? Or were the missing and burnt feathers indicative of Beep fleeing and hiding from someone? Or something?

Things different from canon; (AU???)
Gramps never had an heir, or they never show/ed up.
Stardew Valley Expanded; new maps, new NPCs, new events, a LOT of new stuff.
The new “Farmer” is just a Weird Ass Deer. NPCs will respond/react accordingly.

This is my first time playing Stardew Valley Expanded. Please no spoilers if you play SVE.
