Has been working on the mask she'd gotten some time back, trying an assortment of rocks against the wood to see if she can get it into a more pleasing shape. Minimal results, and she's not even sure she'll want to wear it in the end, but it gives her something to occupy herself with.
Found herself near the ruins today. Spotted Ravus and Kaoori at the little shika's place - hadn't seen either in a long time. A sleeping Reira was there, too. Wanted to say hello, but couldn't bring herself to approach; debated with herself for a while and watched them at a distance. She had just decided to turn and go and not bother them when Ravus got up.
Dammit.
Hoped she was just stretching or something, but no - Phai had been spotted. Torn between friends and the urge to run, stood anxiously rooted as Ravus approached and tipped her head at her. Gave in and walked slowly to meet the larger doe. Gave her a warm, if stiff, hello and followed her up the hill to give Kaoori the same. Surprised to have a pelt cast from the little blue deer, and then from Ravus as well. Stood there awkwardly, feeling self-conscious about her growing inability to function socially, before they all sat down. Tried not to let herself brood too much so as not to bother her company.
Watched Ravus roughhouse with Geisha when she arrived. Turned into some game of 'Claim Kaoori' or somesuch. Geisha got pelted. Lots of running around and shoving. Stayed put and just watched, not really interested in the antics. Geisha finally settled down beside her - wary of being dragged into the game, but things calmed down and everyone rested for a while until everyone but Phai went off to bed down for the night. Left alone again, retrieved her mask and made for the red hill, only to find Thane on its slopes. Irritated, dodged around the bongo. Moro seemed to be dozing higher up the hill. Weird. Probably still fighting, them two. Whatever. Not in the mood to care.
Settled on a place near Eraline's grave, instead, and set to rubbing the mask against a stone there. A commotion behind her caught her attention after a while, though. Became increasingly annoyed as a couple near De Drinkplaats harassed a deer without a name who obviously had no idea he was bothering the pair. Finally got fed up when they started throwing their antlers at the poor thing and got up and intervened. Gave the couple a feisty snort before turning to the nameless deer and giving him a proper bow. Tried to ask him to follow her, but didn't have much luck. The couple decided they wanted to play nice with Phai, which only made her angrier. No, screw you guys. Just 'cause a deer doesn't have a name doesn't mean he hasn't got feelings and doesn't deserve the same courtesies as someone who knows better. The nameless stag wandered into De Drinkplaats and Phai gave up, since he was out of harm's way and no longer bothering the two deer. Only snorted when one of them bowed to her. No, you're NOT welcome. I wasn't helping you, I was helping him. Assholes.
Returned to the rock where she'd abandoned the mask and resumed her work with renewed vigor fueled by her irritation.

Kept to herself for the most part, until later in the evening when Phaios called to her with a request. Watch duty. Ventured to dandelion hill and kept a lazy eye on the group of deer below - Pandora, Jokerman, Loki, Skylar, maybe some others. Started to doze off, but in one of her half-waking moments realized the group had moved. Panicking, bolted to her feet and went to find the group. Almost ran headlong into JM, who was following some of the others as they moved past.
Looked like some kind of catfight between Pandora and Alina, duking it out over who got to keep Aurik. Not sure whether to be entertained or bothered, knowing Alina had been Aurik's keeper for as long as Phai had seen them around. Stepped closer with Jokerman, wondering if she should do anything, when Pandora took off and Alina started scolding Aurik. WELP. Not getting into that!
Took off for the birch forest to check in on Thane and Morioch. Kept her distance and settled on the red hill where she'd have a good view of the area. Played watchdog until she started to snooze again.
