He didn't know what to do. He returned her gaze blankly, and began to think out loud. "I wonder if this has ever happened before, I've never seen any humans here maybe because they turn into deer? You said you went through a veil..." But there were many other creatures that remained the same. And if it was transformation magic then the sneeze should have worked. And why had it taken so long to take effect.

"No... I can't-" He halted mid-sentence, unnerved by the strangeness of the whole situation. "Maybe the twins...?"

(It's fine, I missed one of your responses previously as well, it happens ^.^)

Zevi gave her a somewhat odd look, mulling over what she had said. It seemed that the twins weren't known outside the forest, unless it was just Nika who had never heard of them. He nodded vaguely in the direction on the twin statues. "You crashed into their statues on the hill over there. They are Michaël and Auriea, though nearly everyone here refers to them as the twin gods. They watch over the forest, I'm not entirely sure why they would change you..."

He nervously shifted his hooves. "Though your ship could have burned up the forest, we don't have things like that here, is it made by humans?" He hurriedly brushed past this query, not wanting her to think he was blaming her. "I'm not sure if they're the ones who transformed you, but I'm almost positive they could turn you back. They must have sent the rain last night too."

He wondered how humans could accomplish such a thing. A thing, capable of carrying a person, and able to fly high in the sky, space, she had informed him. Perhaps it was because of their claws, Zevi had noticed how Nika was able to hold on to things so easily with them. "I don't know how, they just probably could. They're responsible for the magic in the forest, and have made many amazing things occur in their visits... Actually that's the thing, I'm not entirely sure how to go about contacting them? They visit rarely, even less than before... Though some think they are always watching us even if we can't see them."

Aaah!! I just saw this, thank you so much! It's fine, I was just worried something had happened to you, and I understand how school can be- I did enjoy our roleplay while it lasted, if you ever want to rp again just ask ^^

But wow, I absolutely love it, he looks wonderful =D eee the coloring is so lovely, I especially like his antlers, and the way you drew his face is really great, I love how interesting his expression is <3 Thank you again ♥

/late reply ;-;

I would love to start another!

And yess I do, and I've just really loved all of your art that I've seen~

Alright ^_^ Do you want to start?

(By the way, since this is a new version of Nika, do you want me to disregard our previous RP so that it didn't happen/Zevi doesn't remember it?)

The deer's eyes blinked blearily open, gazing out through the forest still wreathed in shadows. It seemed to be very early morning, the sun had barely dawned, casting pale light across the sky, and the air was crisp and chilly. The buck hadn't been asleep very long, he liked to stay up late into the night with the stars, and usually slept later because of it. Perhaps and a dream had agitated him into wakefulness. Zevi blamed the cold weather.

He sat up more upright, but hesitated to move from the slight warmth of his spot, where he rested near the ruins, pressed against a tree trunk. After a minute, he slowly got to his hooves, and shivered as a sudden cool breeze briskly streamed through his light coat. It was best to start moving, that seemed to help. The deer started out, swiveling his ears for anyone else who might be around at this time of day.

(Ah okay then)

The blue buck paused mid hoof-step, picking up the voice from nearby. The words, which he could just make out were alarming, and he began to search for the source. Some rustling caught the corner of his eye, and Zevi cautiously approached the moving grass. He could see a doe now, asleep in it's midst. It didn't look to him as if she was in any danger, the pleading words must have been in response to what seemed to be a nightmare.

He stood there for a moment, undecided if it was his place to wake her up... but the other deer looked distressed, and he didn't want to just leave her like this for who knew how long it would take her to wake up on her own. Zevi cleared his throat nervously, and softly nudged the other deer's leg. "It's alright... you're not going to die here, it's just a dream..."

He pulled back in some alarm as she jerked awake quickly, and stood waiting for her to collect herself, watching with some concern. He felt relieved as she voiced her thanks, glad he hadn't been presumptuous and that she was alright now.

"You're welcome."

He nodded slightly, taking note of 'the', which seemed like odd phrasing. He wondered if the nightmares that she suffered were something specific in nature... And if other times there had been someone to wake her up. He bowed in return as she introduced herself, barely catching the wink and blinking somewhat in surprise.

"Nice to meet you, Nika. My name is Zevi." He offered with a friendly smile. He had probably been mistaken, and she had gotten something caught in her eye.

(sorry about the laaaate reply ;-;)

"No where in particular really... I couldn't stay asleep for hardly any time, so I thought I would take a walk." Zevi explained, and then added awkwardly after a pause, "I was thinking of finding a clear space to watch the stars."

"Yes, you may, if you'd like." Company would be nice, not to mention declining would feel a bit rude. She must have had quite the nightmare, it was understandable if she didn't want to try to go back to sleep just yet.

She smiled and stood up, "Thank you." Her eyes moved up to the sky; it was a lovely, clear night. The stars twinkled beautifully through the boughs of the tall trees, as if asking the two creatures to hurry to get a better view of their beauty.
