Episode 3: Can We Keep Him

**Can We Keep Him** is the third episode of the Fox Scars Series. It premiered on June, 24 2017. It was written and directed by The StormingDragon.

## Plot

After chasing off the Sabertooth Tiger, Nokue is left badly hurt, so the foxes that he had saved take him back to their tribe so he can receive treatment. He comes to find out that he doesn't remember anything about his past.

## Synopsis

After the fight with the Sabertooth Tiger, Nokue goes in out of consciousness, seeing a couple of the foxes who found him. HookChomp suggests that they bring the kit back to their tribe, much to the disapproval of HookScale. StoneScar forms a compromise: They let the Chief decide what to do with him once they bring him back. As the young and injured Nokue rests while being carried on HookChomp's back, he suddenly sees more transparent and ghostly foxes, and falls asleep.

In the FireFly tribe, SunStrider comes out of his den and walks around smiling, as he watches the kits and other foxes running and talking with each other. He goes to LashGrowl and asks him if the boarding party had returned yet. LashGrowl says that they hadn't and asks worriedly if they should send a rescue party for them, but SunStrider suggests they wait half an hour before unnecessarily panicking everyone. They then talk about LashGrowl's apprentices, and upon finding out BrightFire went with the hunting party with BloodSnout, laugh as LashGrowl suggests that she's in love with him. SunStrider continues to watch happily as his tribe members enjoy themselves, and he notices and greets WitherRunner when suddenly, HookChomp comes yelling for her, carrying Nokue on his back. They quickly get him into the Med Den as SunStrider talks with HookScale and StoneScar. HookScale and StoneScar's mates quickly go to them, relieved that they're okay. AdalWolf hears the commotion and asks for his father, when WhiteFear tells him that HookChomp went to the Med Den. Terrified, AdalWolf runs to the Med Den and quickly hugs his father, telling him how worried he was. HookChomp greets his son and AdalWolf notices the young and injured Nokue on the bed. WitherRunner tells AdalWolf that she needs room to work, but AdalWolf is hesitant to leave until SunStrider tells him to as well. WitherRunner continues to treat Nokue's wounds with herbs, saying that now, they'll just to wait and see if he lives.

Several minutes later, Nokue wakes up and accidently headbutts AdalWolf, who surprised him. AdalWolf apologizes, talking to him and finding out that Nokue cannot seem to remember who he is. AdalWolf introduces himself and offers to show Nokue around. Outside the Med Den, Nokue is amazed at the sight of the FireFly tribe. AdalWolf tells them that they all live here and in their respective family dens, while kits and elders have their own dens as well. He notices the hunting party returning, and Nokue is amazed to see that they brought back a deer. From the hunt, we see BloodSnout carrying a rabbit in his jaw, while the energetic BrightFire happily and annoyingly compliments him and his hunting skills. Despite him telling her to shut up, she continues to annoy him as he walks away. Suddenly, another one of the hunting party members, RedHoof, a large red fox missing an ear, notices Nokue. As Nokue asks AdalWolf if they can meet his friends, Nokue accidently bumps into RedHoof, who menacingly asks him who he is.
