[EDIT]: Quick bump. Ignore if you wish. My apologies for the spam, after all.



.....:Warm....humid....warmth.... I drearily opened my eyelids, squirming to rise as I felt the humidity clearly make its presense upon my fur. It wasn't dreadfully hot...not in the slightest. Rather, it appeared the air decided to clutch the water as a friend...and my lungs clearly didn't want anything of such. I coughed lightly, stretching my forelegs with a bit of reluctance. Where had I fallen to sleep...? I ran a few thoughts through my head, finally making sense to my surroundings. "Ah." I finally whispered, sluggishly beginning to walk. My posture...one could say...must've been horrendous. When my mind came out of it's haze a few steps later, I finally reminded myself to correct the unsavory act. With my head held high, I broke into a gallop vigoursly. It was a bit of a comfort to have the wind run through my fur, after all.





.....:I pricked my ears to a familiar sound, slowing to a halt to allow my head to turn in the direction of the nearby movement. The movement of dainty hoofbeats with the rythmn of intent. I cast a grin across my face as Miss Poltergest came flooding into my view. I rushed forward, greeting her with a nuzzle and a bow, and we resumed to jumping about the forest floor, which for some reason, I've taken a liking to. I suppose it's a sort of way to channel out worry in the form of jumping. Spring. I swear the season determines how I move about the forest...and as for now...it seems like hopping is the best form of transportation.
.....: Somehow, we ended up within the ruins, filling the chasm of stone with echoes of laughter. I must've sounded obnoxious...now that I think about it. Haha. I'd must work on that, it's rude of me to create such a stir.





.....:As my eyes darted from Miss Poltergeist to the ruins, they stopped on a familiar, shining light emitted from a nearby deer. My heart stopped, I felt frozen and as if the ground melted into a sticky ooze which prevented me from moving, and having a clear judgement. "Miss Ravenflight..." I choked out, the whites of my eyes contrasting against the silver as I focused on the pictogram. Then, she dissapeared, the pictogram fading into a puff of dark, violet smoke. As soon as it faded, I felt the ground finally grant me back my hooves, my body surging forward as I nearly tumbled towards the earth. Catching myself, and my breath, I recovered from the instance, breathing heavily as I turned to Miss Poltergeist amidst a cold sweat. "My apologies....I..." She seemed dereffed by the dissapearing doe, and I walked towards where the cloud had faded. I squinted, before we both took off towards the pond.





......:We returned to a bit of play, jumping amongst the humidty which reminded me of my over hasty state, surely. I'd remind myself to wash in the pond, later. Then, once again, after scanning the landscape for a few moments, my eyes were caught. Miss Ravenflight, dressed in blood and beneath the mask of a dark color, surged past us, aiming towards the pond. Miss Poltergeist noticed her too, and I gave her an assuring nod before she took off after her.
.....:I stood there watching them with unease in my gut, my antlers pressing heavily on my head despite little change in their weight. I felt as if the water that lay thick in the air was closing in on me, begging to just push me down onto the grass as I watching the two does interact within the ponds cool waters. What had happened to her, that in my ignorance allowed her to become bloodied in such away. I occasionally looked to Miss Poltergeist for reassurance, trying to remind myself that it wasn't simply an illusion of the eye or a trick of the mind. Had I done this? Another stag? I cursed beneath my breath, trying to scoff away the foul words onto the one who inflicted her wounds. No doe should ever deserve such, although I have yet to say the same for any stag. I suppose my views of others needs tending to, as if seems irrationaly harsh despite my desire to control it.






.....:She turned, and I lifted my head, trying my best to not show the weakness I was clearly displaying before. I felt my breath skip, and I turned to Miss Poltergest with worry. She seemed to have some sort of goal beneath her expression, and I made note to ask about it later if needed. Either way, she wasn't following Miss Ravenflight as I returned the approach. My breath once again sped up, as I walked ever-slowly towards the injured doe. Finally, we became into a more comfortable speaking distance. I stopped, and examined the wounds she carried, my brows furrowed and my head finally lowered. "I'm sorry." I whispered, my breath exaughsted from the two words. "Nobody deserves what has happened to you. I am an idiot to believe otherwise." I paused, bowing, my head low. I held the stance, with the bow kept close to the earth which radiated a slight coolness in comparrison with the cloudy air. "Perhaps...we may remain friends, so that I may assist you in your healing, and to prevent any further...injuries..." I rose my head, my eyebrows raised ever-slight. Her expression changed, in a way I can't describe in any rational form of words. It seemed that she was relieved, and I gladly took the opportunity the grace the doe with a light nuzzle. "I trust that we can be friends, once again, Miss Ravenflight?" I grinned, and with a quick nod, Miss Poltergeist ran towards us.
.....:Miss Ravenflight and I ran towards the pond, and I greeted Miss Poltergeist with a quick nuzzle and kiss on the ear. It seems I cannot get enough of the reaction she creates when I do so, so I have yet to stop doing such. "Thank you." I spoke, warmly, before we all as a trio, gave in to some silly games near the pond. I believe we all managed to balance ourselves on the log that sleeps there, how this trapeze act managed to work is still beyond even my own knowledge though.






......:I guess I wastn't the only one agitated by the humidity, as we all eventually came to drinking the cool pond water, enjoying it's refreshing content. When I raised my head after taking a long sip, I grinned as I noticed Miss Poltergest and Miss Ravenflight drinking side by side. When they both rose there heads, they seemed shocked by how they both managed to stumble so close. I took a deep breath, raising my head fully to scan the pond. My...how it looked to welcoming. And without a second thought, I sprinted in, jumping into it's waters with a loud splash. I rose the surface, momentarily struggling to get my hooves on the bottom of the pond where I could still reach. Finally, after blinking away a few droplets from my eyelashes, I turned to find the two does staring in shock. Quickly, I rushed from the ponds depths, freeing the water from my alabastar fur as I shook. "My apologies, I guess not many deer are aware how to swim." I grinned, bowing to hide it. I know I shouldn't take in such foolish activities, but I swear somehow that I am drawn to the ponds depths upon certain days. I do remember mi luna mentioning something about the tides...







.....:After awhile, we all came to sitting in the pond. Only, I noticed Miss Ravenflight, her head swaying back and forth seperate her body. I stood, confused as to the aciton, before she fell into the water with a splash. My ears perked forward, as I apporached, before she dissapeared in a cloud of purple dust. Why...had she left so suddenly? Had I...done something inappropiate? What was I thinking...allowing myself to lose so much self control? I turned to Miss Poltergeist, a look of concern creeping upon my face. We soon both sat down within the water again, at the spot where the doe had dissapeared. Eventually though, I had a feeling she wouldn't return for awhile, and I stood. I noticed another deer, which I had met before in the twilight, near the pond, and I excused myself. Although, it seems they were more than reluctant to even notice. Finally, once Miss Poltergeist had joined me, we both let out an encouraging bellow.





....:They seemed to notice, and we finally gave into formally greeting eachother. The skull-faced deer didn't seem to regonize me though, and I didn't blame them. I must've left a bad impression in the day of twilight, I presumed.
.....:Eventually, I felt drowsy, and I bowed to each member of now company. I nuzzled Miss Poltergeist for a bit longer, though, my eyelids shut tight as I did. "I love you." I whispered reassuringly, before drifting into a deep sleep.
