{I search entire Forest; only find alone-ness.}

Narcissus's picture
Okay, so now that Adrien's closest friend has died, he is in a slump of loneliness and depression and is aimlessly wandering about the Forest. However, if he were to meet another deer kind and understanding enough to befriend him, maybe he could be pulled out of the darkness and become the shining, happy stag we all know he was meant to be. Maybe he could even find (dare I say it?)... love.

So go ahead and post your interactions here, if you're interested in roleplaying with Adrien.

One thing you should keep in mind is that Adrien still hasn't mastered Deer language yet, so his poor grammar is intentional and not a mistake on my part. I may also sometimes use italics to indicate that he is speaking Rabbit; it is up to you to decide whether or not your character can understand this language, but I would think that most deer wouldn't, logically.

Adrien smiled at the doe's

Adrien smiled at the doe's request. "I ask Aunt Maple," he said and went to find the young bunny's mother.

While Adrien was on the other side of the tree, Moss couldn't be still, he was too excited. He had never been away from the warren without his mother, and the idea of travelling with deer was just amazing to him. He kept hugging Fern's leg and shouting the only Deer word he knew, "Hello!"

After about two minutes, Adrien returned and said, "She say yes," to which the little bunny responded with a leap and a delighted squeak.

The doe stood perfectly

The doe stood perfectly still, looking down at the excited bunny with a smile and shouted "Hello!" every time he said hello.
Then once Adrien returned and said the little bunny could come, she gave a nod. She bowed to the old oak and the bunnies who lived there and began to trot a bit away and looked back at Adrien and his kin- a nod to follow. But she knelt down to the ground, her forehead pressing it and her great antlers spread wide to the little bunny.
"Carry you," she said softly to the little bunny, very voice slightly muffled as she pressed her head to the forest floor, offering her antlers as a perch.


((Btw sorry for the late response, I'm in charge of some stuff at school at the moment and I don't have much time for anything else aha, but hopefully that will change soon).

((Don't worry about it. No

((Don't worry about it. No one can be on 24/7. I understand that.))

The rabbit's eyes lit up like stars as his new deer friend offered him a ride. He gladly accepted and giggled in delight.

Adrien watched with a smile.

The doe helped nudge the

The doe helped nudge the small rabbit onto her antlers, and finally he was perched on the front of the antlers- they acted as a cradle of sorts. She raised her head and gave a smiling nod forward. She trotted straight from the Great Oak, her head bobbing lightly with the weight of the tiny bunny. As they neared the bridge, she could hear the stream of the river and the light ripples of the pond, though they could only see the large willow trees, swaying their drooping branches in the breeze. She could see there- there were two fawns in the pond, splashing around with lily pads and dragonflies. C l o p c l o p went her hooves as they crossed the bridge and veered left. She saw ahead- there were few in the birch forest.
Before long they approached a wide ring of incredibly large birch trees. She stopped beside one and looked on- inside the circle of birch trees there was a thick field of blueberries, some grew so high to her chest.
The doe lowered her head and scooted the little bunny off. "Enjoy," she said dipping her head and closing her eyes- she checked her heart. It was beating strongly for once, and it felt heavy in her chest.. But she did not know why.
The doe called Fern walked down into the ditch of blueberries and nibbled on a few for herself. She sprang all of a sudden with soundless glee and leapt into the thicket of blueberries that tickled her chest. She broke off one strand of blueberries and another smaller one. She returned to them and gave the long strand of blueberries to Adrien and the smaller strand to the little bunny.
She went back prancing into the blueberry bowl until she was in the center of it. She looked back at the two and said, "Just be with me.. Just be."
Her voice resonated all around them, as if echoing from tree to tree.

The stag and the bunny gladly

The stag and the bunny gladly accepted the spirit's berry offering and nibbled at the soft, sweet fruit.
Adrien bowed to her in gratitude.

When she said those words, he did not understand and was puzzled, although her joy was contagious and made him want to prance around in the berries too.

((I apologize for making such short posts. I just started a new job, and I've been super tired lately.))

(It's no problem, I'm super

(It's no problem, I'm super busy too and actually recently I've been going to bed at maybe 1 or 2 in the morning due to a huge workload ah. But now it's lowering so I'll be able to reply quicker.)

"Come on, come on!" she laughed, springing and hopping through the blueberries, rearing back her head as she laughed and hollered. Then she let her legs give way beneath her as she landed tumbling down into the ground, squishing berries beneath her, staining her pelt with blue splotches. But the doe didn't notice. She continued to roll around in the moist blueberries thickets, giggling with bliss. Her white pelt began to glow, and the dim white light pulsed around her like intense sunlight. She sat up, quiet again. Tiny finch birds, so commonly found in the birch forest, began to fly around the blueberry bowl. She lied down so still, that a few landed on her antlers daintily.
It was calm now, but warm and comfortable. The bright sunlight showered them in it's radiance, luminating all of the colors and tones. The doe then looked over at Adrien and the little bunny and began to hum a simple tune.

The music emitted from the

The music emitted from the spirit doe was so lovely that the stag and his little bunny found themselves mesmerized by it. They both walked over to lie down beside her, and soon they began to drift off to sleep.
