THIRD PERSON POV-

"I know I heard a sound come from here..." Tristan mumbled to himself as he pushed his way through the thicket in the nearby forest he was exploring on that particular day.
It had been a small, yet earpiecimg suns, a high screech. Tristan knew of a lot of animals roaming in that forest but he didn't know that particular sound.

"Come hereee" Tristsn called putting to the animal, the sound had made him believe it was hurt so he wanted to find it so that he could nurse it back to health. But to get it out into the open he knew he'd have to use a tactic, so he fished into his backpack and pulled out a ham and cheese sandwich and then proceeded to pick the ham out.
"Smell it? It's delicious, if you come out you can have it"

Then finally tristsn heard rustling in the Bushes beside him, a tingle of fear sneaked it's way up his spine, but Tristan was still convinced that the animal needed his help so he did his ground.

Then a head poked out.

"Huh? You're...you're a...a Fossa...I've never seen any of you around here, then again I've never been in this part of the forest" Tristan chuckled and reached out to the Fossa, but then it made that sound again, a screech.
"Oh right, here you go" Tristan remembered his promise, so he threw the ham forward so that it was mere centimeters in front of the Fossa cub.
It sniffed it a couple of times before happily eating all of it.

It seemed as if the Fossa cub saw it as a peace offering because it started crawling all the way out of the bushes and towards Tristan.
"Huh? You don't seem injured at all"

It was as if the Fossa cub understood cause it perked up and then scanned its own body, but then it glanced back towards the bushes and whimpered.

"...oh no" Tristan mumbled realizing why the cub could be in distress, and sure enough when Tristan got up and moved some of the branches of the bush he saw an adult Fossa, most definitely the cubs mother...dead.
"... don't you worry little guy...I'll take care of you" Tristan said to the still whimpering cub, and then he hesitantly moved his hand downward still it connected with the Cubs fur, it flicked but then relaxed.
"And I know just what to name you"

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

"Mom! Dad! This is Screech! Can I keep him?!" Tristan asked excitedly as he held the now jolly fossa cub, now named Screech, in his arms.

Elizabeth sat frozen with a teacup halfway up to her lips, while Meliodas just smiled at his son.

"Sure" meliodas replied
"Sorry honey no" Elizabeth said, unfortunately at the same time.
Immediately the atmosphere grew a little awkward as Elizabeth and meliodas slowly turned to look at each other.

"Son, What do say me and your mom talk about this and then give you a answer later?" Meliodas proposed and Tristan nodded, although a bit scared, he had a strong feeling that his request would he denied.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

"Honey, we are so proud of you, because you have such a pure heart, but...Screech is a wild animal, he can't stay. We're sorry" Elizabeth apologized

"Why don't we get you a puppy instead? Those are cute too" Meliodas added, trying to lessen Tristan's pain.

"No...no I'm good..." Tristan said fighting the tears.
