"Ahaaa..too much of these words." He knew that she'd like to help Niko, but those two was stronger then even from him. He saw whole different energies around them, mostly black of anger. "No problem. You werent guilty. She shouldnt.. I dont like it."

Did you feel as a wall next to the playground too? I mean you and Nik behind her, and me and Levi Lol

He would settle near the small doe, for a while letting silence fall between them. Gaze would be cast her, eyes rolling over her wounds. "Brave, for being short", he spoke under his breath, gaze shifted to the ground then. "Kind of... stupid. Should be more...", he paused. No not stupid, that was rude. Ears would fall back with a gentle shake of the head. "I mean they are so big... and you are... well, be more careful, hmm?".

A good word? Another shake of the head was given, though refrained from saying more on it. She was right though, and he was alleviated that he hadn't offended her. The stag could tell she wasn't feeling too well, would have offered to do more for her had he known anything about addressing wounds and the like. Useless... so very useless. He would silently huff. "Hmm... yea", he muttered before resting his own head, though ears perked up at that point, swiveling and swaying. "Thane, doe... and you?".

Suddenly felt overwhelmed, for whatever reason, he didn't want to be there. His head would rise, eyes darting in every direction. Not safe, not safe. He felt suffocated and unwanted. "I... I should go", his breathing would increase, pushing through the tip of his skull, a faint whistle accompanying every breath of air. "Bye...", and with that would jump to his hooves and bolt off. The honorable thing to do would have been stay behind and watch over her, but that didn't even cross his mind. Perhaps, but only perhaps, he would return later.

Sorry Miyako he's a weirdo, lol. Also tracking and all of that, she's really neat.
Not sure if you're aware, but one of your boxes overlaps two of your other boxes, making it kind of hard to read.

"She is pregnant...", he stated the obvious. It hadn't been so long ago that he was taught about the birds and the bees. Encase she was unaware, now she knew. The stag would settle in next to her, eyes scanning over her form. Wounds looked worse than he remembered... but this day he was more collected. "Hmm, does Miyako need anything?", he questioned nervously, ears falling back then rising simultaneously, repeated a couple of times with much swiveling in between.

He seemed good at that, depriving her of sleep. "Ah... mmhm... yeah". When she said all was fine his head lowered. There was nothing he could do? He lost his chance to help? 'Failure'. The stag would say nothing seeing as how he was caught off guard when the doe leaned against him. He didn't move but tensed up, perhaps the cause for his lack of movement to begin with, being frozen in place. This was helping though, right? Maybe not so much of a failure, at least not this day. Thane would sigh and with that became less tense, soon enough resting his own head. Eyes would peer off towards the group in the distance, a thought coming to him that would be shoved into a dusty corner soon after. Nothing more would be said, simply let the doe lean into him and rest, seeing as how that was most ideal.

The stag was brave and would lift his head, forcing his eyes to shift to the corner of his sockets and look to her, but only briefly, not enough time to capture the redness of her own eyes. It seemed as though he wasn't going to answer her. Every inch of his body was screaming to rise and bolt off, one of those split second decisions. He would shift, so ready to take off, but something stopped him, plastered where he was, would stay. "Ha...", he verbally spoke before a nervous chuckle was given. "We-well... pregnancy is beautiful". Ears would fall back then. 'No, no! You creep', he said to himself, mentally beating himself up over that. His comment was harmless, and not even creepy, but he simply didn't know how to properly socialize anymore. What was right and wrong? "I meeaaan, not saying she is beautiful... b-but the pregnancy is. NO... well she is beautiful... not like... gah". The stag gave up then, he was making it worse.

When the doe leaned into him some more he would fight back any physical shaking that wanted to take over. Instead he would lower his head to the ground once more and find a focus point, locking himself up. At her question he didn't even know what to say. Something about himself... "I collect things". She would probably think he was useless then. Collecting things... pfft. "I can make things", was tacked on, to perhaps detour her from touching on the subject of collecting. "Like... anything. I make a lot of things...". He would recall the pinecone music box he had made for Bei, the amber necklace for a friend, among a few other things. Thane huffed but not out of frustration, a way of releasing himself of the anxiety and nervousness felt. Talking was helping, at least for now. The topic wasn't a sensitive one, yet. "How about you...?".

He would catch movement out of the corner of his sockets. Head would shift to see what was going on... awh, her flower had fallen. The stag wanted to retrieve it and put it back behind her ear... but that would have been intrusive, and he didn't want to be scolded for touching her pretty flower, had it been something of importance. When she said his name eyes further looked to her, this time to perhaps capture her own, his shifting color frequently. "Oh...", he muttered. Seemed she understood what he was trying to get at, which was a relief. "This would be my third...", he counted silently making sure he was correct. His mom, this doe, and then there was... Syahi. At her mention of hoping to someday be in her position he'd look away, had he caught her eyes before would have by then taken note of how red they were. Anything silly about it he had not grasped. "I mean third time knowing a pregnant doe...". The stag was fascinated by pregnancy, there was just something about it so... alluring.

"Family isn't always... the best to have", he laid out... although would hang onto one thing that slipped passed her lips. "No biological family?", he questioned then hummed, raising so many more questions. He had been told that in order to exist a stag and a doe must love each other, but what she said conflicted with what he had been told. "Do you mean they are dead?". It slipped passed with ease, with little regards to how sensitive the subject may have been for her. Curiosity had been sparked, and he didn't even think of it as a bad question. At this point he was under the belief that deer could be born from thin air now. If that was so he wanted to learn of this secret so that he may craft many, many children for himself. Thane had once been family oriented, and perhaps still was, but feared what would come of such relations in the end. So far he had lost almost everyone brought in as family, acquired mostly during the beginning, now were all gone, or in hiding. At least he never saw them anymore... With that he would rest his weight into the tree at his side, silently wondering and reminiscing until deciding to touch on her comment about trust. "Trust fades with experience".

The stags nervousness seemed to be fading, replaced with a growing seriousness as their conversation progressed.

Watched the doe mess with the flower, hadn't caught any facial expressions though, as he had avoided further eye contact for the time being. The stags ears would flicker now and again, occasionally rolling over to observe the three nearest them... silly deer, especially that young buck that he'd spent the past couple of days with. At his companies question took a deep breath. "Afraid not". Not necessarily a lie, to him when Syahi had left, it wasn't his child. He figured he'd never see it, and so his response harbored some truth behind it. Anyways, he didn't want to get caught up on a sad subject such as that. Just as well, Thane had some doubts it was his child to begin with, that Syahi was merely feeding him lies so she'd have a male in her life to bring up some other stags offspring. His shoulders when rise then drop, legs further tucked into himself with neck craned, still steadily observing the three to their side, although gaze was forcefully pulled from there back onto her.

"I mean...", he began but then paused, contemplating a way to go about it. "There is a lot that comes with having a family. There are ups and down, complications, feuds. A lot to consider. At least, if you do intend to have a family, eventually, whenever it may be, choose very.... very... carefully". His tone had started off rather gentle, but grew into something dark and bold. Quills had even begun to rise, but with a shake of the head and a dry snort refocused his gaze elsewhere, getting any rising temper under control before an explosion happened. A sweet doe such as Miyako shouldn't of been subjected to any of his lingering hatred, anyways. "I see...", his tone much softer then, in response to her parents.

"I can't tell you to be more careful, that would be like me trying to force feed you a personal view simply because that's what I believe. But, I can tell you're a bright young doe who can make her own decisions... hopefully based upon her own experiences, and not others". The stag thought for a moment, how contradictory he had been being. He said that to her now, yet had just prior been feeding her his views on family and choosing carefully. Perhaps she wouldn't notice... When the doe snuggled into his fur a gentle sigh was given, eyes peering to the flower then. "Little Miyako... would you like me to fasten that flower back behind your ear?".

Thane couldn't seem able to pull his eyes away from the event which had unfolded before them, the birth of a new life. Eyes had long ago pulled from Miayko and the group of three to observe. Always a joyous day... yet felt insecure about it at the same time. He could only hope Umay and Lume would trust him near their child eventually. He had not done any wrong by the family, but still, a creeping sickness found its way to the pit of his stomach, worrying over being shunned or outcast, forbidden from joining them.

"You can never be for certain...", he addressed her question, while family related better than dwelling on the past, placing past events on the present... forwards, backwards. "You just... learn, and from there learn what is and isn't acceptable, learn what works and what doesn't... you experience these things and then apply it to future situations to determine the outcome... more favorable or not, that is a personal decision, I think". Eyes fell onto her smaller form then, shifting to the colors of her fur. "Too young to worry about it... you shouldn't worry about it. You just learn as you go, no point in worrying about it". Perhaps it was too late though, he had said so much.

"What do you mean, mistakes have been made for you so you don't have to repeat them, and others have done them already?", his head would tilt to the left, extremely curious as to what she meant, despite it being very clear. More likely than not he was curious as to who had done that for her and why, not so much clueless as to what she said in general. He wanted to say that wasn't right, he wanted to confront those who had stepped into her life and put those mistakes into play before their time... but he hardly knew this doe... that wouldn't be right. Still he hated how it seemed as though experiences had been forced to create a favorable outcome, in a sense. - Thane would catch her chuckle, and it was hard to fight back a grin of his own despite being unsettled by what she said, had he even been capable of doing so. On the inside one shined, however.

When Miyako confirmed the stag would lean down to very gently clasp the flower between his jaws, and then carefully lift it towards her head, tucking it behind an ear, firmly placed, snug where it rested. "There you are...", he said softly before pulling away, head tilting to the left then right, observing, trying to determine if it needed tweaking or not. No, it was just right. "That is a very pretty flower, it suits you well". Thane would force a cough... "Hmm, maybe you should rest", he suggested, recalling those tired, red eyes from before. Hadn't been able to catch a look since to see how they appeared now. "Or maybe... you would fancy something to eat... something to drink?".

No problem. Pretty new picto. ♥

Miyako's eyes met the event and she was thrilled. Everyone around the parents and the newborn seemed to be so happy, smile wasn't an uncommon sight there. Miyako thought it would be better to keep her distance even though one of her closest ones was there enjoying the life's greatest miracle. She wasn't sure what the mother of the newborn thought about her and so was happy with the place she had gotten. "That might be true." She agreed in the impossibility of being positive about such complicated matters. "Sometimes you get lucky and things work out for you nicely and other times you get hit, am I right?" She tried to put all the puzzle pieces together in the simplest way possible and wanted a confirmation for her conclusion.
"Don't you worry about me worrying. I won't trouble my head with it too much until the time is more suitable for it. That might take a few years." A playful chuckle and nudge followed her words as she stuck her tongue out at him, dark grey spot on her tongue visible.
Soon enough her cheerful smile turned more serious. What mistakes were actually made for her? She had always been told to stay away from trouble, explanations had been 'if you do that, this will happen to you' and so on. "I've watched others do their mistakes and I never had to do them myself. I just avoided doing the same things others have." She probably made no sense, but watching her friend get into troubles over and over again had spared her from doing a few mistakes. Her gaze wandered all the way from the Old Oak to the Crying Idol statue at the beginning of the river. Somewhere in the middle her gaze met his.
The young doe closed her eyes and tried to keep her ears still to make it as easy as possible for the other one to put the flower back to its proper place. "Thank you, Thane." She flashed a brief smile before she gently nudged his cheek with her muzzle. A random sign of affection, oh how she loved to show them.
Miyako kept her silence for a flying moment, she was tired. Exhausted. Even though her shape was turning better. Within a few days she'd be her old self again and instead of achy wounds she'd probably have a few new scars. "Silly, I'm alright. You don't have to get me anything. But maybe I could rest a little bit, if you don't mind? Would you like to be my pillow for my nap?" The playful tone was back again, but her yawning gave it up. She needed some rest.

// What a perfect timing. It's over 1am here and I should go to bed right about now. :'> Feel free to respond if you want and I might throw you a reply myself when I wake up. If you feel like leaving it here, that's fine, too. (: Thank you for the RP, nonetheless. ♥
Purrr. Me loves her new picto. So pretteh. ♥

Schutz: Ohyou. ♥

// Awwyou. ♥ You must stop making me melt, miss, or I have to bite you.

The younger one responded to the other's pleasant sign of affection by licking her cheek briefly. "It's okay, I understand. I know you've gone through a lot and so had your own things to work out." A nudge to her cheek. Even though Miyako was young she knew that sometimes one must take care of oneself before is able to look after someone else.
Her ears perked up when she saw the little necklace that was placed in front of her. Suddenly her jaws dropped and her eyes opened wide open, that was the most precious thing she had seen. It was so beautiful. When the other doe was finished speaking, she was finally able to get her eyes off of it and turn her gaze to her eyes. "It's so.. So.. Beautiful, Djinn." Obviously she was overwhelmed and all out of a sudden she tackled the doe to shower affection on her. "Thankyouthankyouthankyou!" Her voice was bright as she spoke, eyes watery. "W-would you help me w-with it?" She asked after she had pulled away and nudged the necklace gently.

// Get ready to be bitten then >D

Seeing her smile, made hers wider. She waited patiently until the doe was done. At first it felt cold against her chest but soon enough it got warmer. The young doe puffed her chest fur proudly and held her head high with her ears perked up. "Thank you, really. How come I've never seen you wear it, it's stunning?" She was curious but the smile remained on her face. It wouldn't be easy to wipe it off. "It's good, other than the fight everything seems to be good." A shrug. "I mean, I can't complain. I have got wonderful friends and so forth. That's about it." She wasn't sure what the other one wanted to know and so she gave her the basics as an answer. Her friends was all she had, still no family.

Badass bodyguards. No predator dares to approach her now. >D

;>> ♥
Ravly is such a sweetheart. He shows up always when I'm doing stuff with browser. Feels like he's looking out for her at times. :'D

"Awh, it's good that things like this are given by someone you hold dear." Her deep blue eyes shone as she looked at the doe. The doe's head tilted lightly to the left when she saw the brief frown visiting Djinn's features. Was there something wrong, she thought. As the frown faded she let that thought pass as well. "I admit, that is my vice." She rolled her eyes playfully and chuckled afterwards. "I'll keep that in mind. I'm glad to have someone like you supporting me." A nod as an agreement to the rest of her statement. The young doe was silent for a moment. She was thinking. Obviously she had parents somewhere but they were out of her reach and even if they came to her, she wouldn't be able to recognize them. It was highly unlike that she would even see them as her parents. After all she has had to learn to survive without them and with her friend's help, including Djinn's. "No, I haven't." She paused for a moment and turned her head away. Even though she had got along with her friends help quite well, she still needed a family. She just hadn't shown it very well. "No father, no mother. I guess they are out there, but it's not the same. Why you ask?" She glanced at the doe.

The young doe had witnessed a couple abandoning their child over things she wasn't aware of. The mentioned child was the doe beside her and she remembered her state of mind when Miyako went to her to see if she was alright. It was terrible. Only a flying moment she thought about how she would feel if that happened to her but the thought passed fast. The young doe waited patiently until the other one was finished. Her expression gave her out her innermost feelings, her eyes were watery and she could hear her heart racing in her chest. "A-are you saying t-that you would.. ?" She shook her head. "I m-mean, w-would I be.. ?" She wasn't able to finish either of the questions but she was positive that the other one knew what she meant. Djinn was already closest to mother she could ever have and if she was willing to adopt the young doe as her daughter, it would be a dream come true. She didn't want to get too excited before she'd get confirmation.

Miyako's lips moved as if she was speaking but no words came out of there. Her ears twitched, eyes were even more watery and a tear ran down her cheek. She was too overwhelmed to give her an answer now so she took a deep breath and closed her eyes, trying to calm down. A dream come true. "I d-don't know what to s-say." She stuttered as she pressed herself against the doe, hid her face to her fur. "Thank you, Mother." She whispered leaving no room for misunderstandings of what her answer was.

// It's okay. Chaos is never good in a room. Mine exploded yesterday, so yeah. ,__,

Thanks for spending some time with my doe yesterday ♥
