"Hullo..."

Had been scare for a few days; mostly kept hidden in deep brush and at Reed's logs. Haunts the red bull's territory in hopes of him coming around, but has not seen the stag in a while. Beginning to fear that he won't see Reed again, or at least for a long time.

Sojourned from the logs this morning and wandered around sluggishly, not caring too much about his surroundings. Picked up on a faintly familiar scent in the distance and followed it to find Rhea resting beside a tree with a fawn (Mieraak) and an old stag (Kusabi). The hyena was a lot bigger since he saw her last, but it didn't frighten him. Lonely and starved for affection, he crept closer and settled beside a tree near the group, wondering if he should get closer. What if she didn't remember him? What if that stag attacked him?

Eventually gathered up his courage and gingerly stepped closer, but it was the fawn that got up to acknowledge him first. Feeling hopeful, Crier playfully reared but was met with rude gestures from the fawn. Stumbled back, confused and saddened, but did not bolt even when Kusabi got up to survey the scene. Stood still, completely unsure of himself. Watched the fawn suddenly take off, with the agitated bull on his heels. Took the opportunity to zero in on Rhea, leaning against her side. Scared that the stag will return, but also does not care enough to move. Warmth and familiarity is what he needs the most. Too nervous to sleep.

Got even more nervous when Rhea got up and looked him over. Backed up, feeling unreasonably uneasy. Convinced that she didn't recognize him and might harm him. Stood still as she sniffed him, and gingerly returned the gesture. She seemed curious, and sat down beside him. Felt a little better...but panicked when she disappeared (derpy internet? ;n;). Bolted when a creature with large antlers suddenly approached him (I didn't catch the name of the picto, so sorry ;;). Terrified he'd be pursued, but it didn't follow. Got even more jumpy when he almost galloped into the path of Kusabi; hid behind a tree and tried to calm himself.

Wandered aimlessly towards the birch when he noticed a familiar shape sleeping in the distance. Cautiously approached to find Reate resting with a fawn and another grown deer (Oseaan). Got a little nervous when she approached, but was calmed by the fact that she was a doe. Exchanged sniffs and was beckoned to sit with the group. Did not hesitate to cuddle up against her, wanting desperately to sleep. However, a friendly romp soon ensued and that helped put the fawn at ease. Grateful when things calmed down before he got too worn out. Curled up against Reate and managed to fall asleep, tuckered out.

Poor Erari, though... ;; So sorry that Crier is passed out; he's considerably shaken up and is afraid to move. It would be wonderful if they could interact sometime. c: ♥

Blah. I really want to find out if the character has a bio-I was wondering if perhaps it was a character like Kaars or the prehistoric trio (the whole Claws of Agony thing). I can`t seem to find a bio, though :c

All I could find relating to

All I could find relating to him bio-wise was this, but the picto itself (when clicked on the map) leads to a user called cosmic. I am pretty sure that the map link is a glitch, though. It's odd. D;

-joins in the Crier!huggles- It's been quite a traumatic day for him. ;; But, he has learned from it. He certainly won't be forgetting Red anytime soon. -shakefist- >:/

Ahaha CSI EndlessForest, try to catch an attemptive killer.

Apparently the same stag was after our little doe Ariana earlier in the week too, so it must be after mini's and fawns since after it attacked our little group it went after I was told Pandora and two of her group.
