Fall 6, Year 2

Deciding he needed a break from the tension in Pelican Town, Beep decided to spend a few days at the island. Willy was more than happy to fish off the pier, and sleep on his boat. (He did so during fishing season anyway.)

While Beep was going around counting flowers around the island and looking for a single missing bone of a fossil, Willy talked with Leo, the cast away child on the island. Beep had met Leo when the deer first arrived here, since there hadn't been anyone else here (aside from the Pirate's wife who lived on the opposite shore and presumably they never interacted? Or did so super rarely? It was unclear...) in a LONG time, and the child was very curious. They've rarely interacted since. Beep left offerings of pristine duck feathers in the child's hut whenever he came to the island, but the only indication Leo was still around was the feather disappearing, or some of the fruit going missing from the orchard Beep set up on the island farm. (He didn't mind.)

There was a wildness to Leo that reminded Beep of another child he held deerly. Two, specifically, close to his hart.

Gods fucking damn it the fucking puns were sneaking in when he wasn't even trying. He could already hear the crystalline chimes of his larger mate's laughter.

Number of flowers delivered, final bone found, and Beep received his reward from the researcher guy that had been trapped in the mushroom cave for [duration quantity missing]. It was a recipe for an ostrich egg incubator...? Did Beep even have enough room for ostriches? Did they require special care? He didn't even know where he could find any ostrich eggs??? Still, it was nice to have when he eventually found an egg?

When Beep returned to the boat to head back to the main land, Willy was just saying good bye to Leo. The feral child was scared of Beep, but there was no offence taken. He was uncanny to anyone unfamiliar with peryton, and it was why the townsfolk took so long to warm up to him. It appeared as though Leo was befriending Willy, and was eager to hear of the other children in Pelican Town.

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.
