Rest well, my sweet hart.

Feral • Free • Royal • Enigmatic • Sentimental • Alert • Self-reliant • Valiant • Honest • Resilient • Passive • Wild • Damaged • Independent

In his youth, The Red was a noble soul, embodying what he thought to be right and fair. Within years spent inside the confides of The Endless Forest, his mentality became tainted, resulting in a life plagued by violence and betrayal. After making his escape back into the wild, he recovered into a rather wise and relatively quiet stag.

Much alike to his wild brethren, he lives in the moment and spends a majority of his time trying to survive; focusing almost entirely on self-preservation. Not only does he rely on no one but himself, he also doesn’t obligate himself to anyone.

His way of thinking is unlike the human mindset, and to expect such from him will probably lead to disappointment. He is literally an animal in all ways that it implies; guided by instinct with the dignity and morals of such.
That's not to say he's disrespectful though. Survival is for the fittest. Respect is given where due, especially to his own kind. He's completely shameless in subjects that may be considered taboo, but in a casual sense. He will eliminate threats given a good opportunity, cruel as it may seem.
Honest, and very direct in his way of thinking; expressed in body language far more than speech. He rarely speaks unless addressed first, and even when he does his speech is in no way familiar to anything a human would utter.

The Red lacks the emotional intensity any human may experience. This might seem like his bonds mean less to him, but that's untrue. If bonded to someone, it's as precious to him as he's emotionally capable of.

Seldom experiences resentment, but knows to respect fear. Anything that compromises his health and safety will be remembered, and responded to appropriately.

The seasons affect his demeanor; lower energy in the winter months will cause him to become more evasive of danger, while during more prosperous seasons his energy levels spike and the likelihood of standing his ground increases. Conflicts, however, are preferably avoided. The state of his antlers will also strongly influence his attitude.
Every autumn, he will go into a state of rut. This is the time of year when he is at his strongest, and determined to prevail, he becomes an impressive spectacle to behold. A true embodiment of nature at its most majestic.

Has a strong bias towards predatory looking characters, almost always branding them as a threat, sometimes even to a fault. He will always judge others on their scent and appearance, and if said characteristics bear enough resemblance with what he associates as predatory anatomy or mannerisms, then he will assume them to be a threat whether or not they actually are. He'll all too often refuse to see them as anything else. That being said, if a predator has enough anatomy associated with herbivores and the scent of such, he will overlook how dangerous they could potentially be. His reactions vary from retreating to attacking. He has also been known to attack young and vulnerable predatory looking creatures in order to eliminate potential future threats.
This way of mind is in no way driven by hate, but merely his will to survive. It is built entirely on self preservation.

For the most part, he is a passive hart, comfortable offering quiet company to those who seek it. He has few social expectations on others, provided it's species permitting. After the initial greeting and acceptance he'll likely settle to doing his own thing around the company he's in.

What happened...? Her voice

What happened...? Her voice was breathy and low, as if expecting to be scolded. As she seated herself beside the unresponsive Inferno, she watched the Hart continue to pace, watchful, wary. She grimaced. No matter how often bad things happened in the Forest, her heart ached all the same. Though she had heard it from others, she wanted to hear it in Virgil's own words. The day she trusted gossip over the Hart was the day she would disown herself.

I'm sorry, Virgil... Her voice was barely audible as she spoke again. She turned to look at Saosin's still body. And I'm sorry to you too, Saosin...

The Red's nostril's flare,

The Red's nostril's flare, blowing warm steam into the cool winter air. He turns, staring off into the horizon in every direction, and yet never becoming satisfied of their safety. That is, until Lacie speaks, and suddenly the shell of a completely anxious animal shatters to reveal the sentient hart beneath it. He looks to the hind with a tired and aged gaze, as though the situation is grim.

He dipped his head ever so slightly then. "I hurt him..." He utters tentatively, "and now he may die." Adds the troubled stag. "I do not want him to die."
They've come a long way to get here today. Years of war, and even now they fight, because it is what makes them. And now, it seemed, to be their undoing. The Hart so bonded with his friend that the thought of losing The Inferno is painfully unbearable. No one else in the world knew The Red like Saosin does.

The Hart lowers his head further as his hazel gaze turns to his Equal, and then a heart sinking silence.

She listens quietly, her

She listens quietly, her heart sinking even further as she watches, as she hears, Virgil unravel himself, even just a little bit. She hangs her head as her eyes avert Virgil's to look at Saosin again.

Lacie always mused that she felt old, yet watching someone who was indeed her elder involved in such a predicament reminded her of just how little she knew, just how little she actually had. She had the birds, the flowers, the butterflies, the trees. But he, and everyone else, had others just like them. Their rivals, their friends, their equals.

But she couldn't allow herself to think on it any further. She could loathe herself later.

The silence is thick, almost unyielding. Suddenly, Lacie's voice, still quiet but carrying the strength of an army, cuts through it, defying it.

And he won't. She said, looking back to the Hart again. Think of all that you've been through, all that he's been through. Both individually, and together. You are the storms, but you are its eyes as well.

She looks back to the inferno. Though she remains laying down, her posture straightens in certainty.

I've seen plenty, just as you have. Miracles do exist. I don't think Life is done with him just yet.

There is so much more she feels she wishes to say, but she cannot find the words. Instead, she lets the silence have its way again.

The Hart's gaze on his Equal

The Hart's gaze on his Equal is unwavering, even as Lacie spoke, but that's not to say he wasn't listening, the stags ear movement proved that. He listened, and silently contemplated the Thylacine doe's words until he decided to move.

He starts by his Equal first, lowering his head and nudging The Inferno's skull with the tip of his nose, as he has many a time this evening. Then, he pulls away so that he may approach Lacie, who's company he whole-heartedly appreciated at this challenging time. He stands before her, exposes his side, then reaches over so that he may offer to groom her. This is his wordless gratitude, and to him it's more valuable than a simple thank you.

January 16, 2015 - 7:55pm — Mjrn

She watches as he bumps his

She watches as he bumps his nose against Saosin's skull, her ears pinning back in empathy. Her ears flick forward slowly as he approaches, and she stands as he exposes his side to her, her own side facing him in turn. A human mindset could never erase instinct, learned or born with.

As he reaches over, she inches closer to him, silent permission. She in turn cranes her neck, gently letting her own lips and teeth gently brush over him as well.

If anything, he probably needed it more than she did. It was the least she could do.

This isn't a response to the rpthing going on here, I don't wanna invade it asdfasd

-------------

Kostya sat and stood near the fallen, bright red stag. He watched as his brown companion kept trying to rouse Saosin. Kostya himself even taking the odd turn to try to prod the large deer awake with his hooves.
While he hadn't known Saosin as long as Virgil had, it still worried him to see someone who had once been active now laying unconscious on the ground. He tried his best to empathise with Virgil, he knew what it was like dealing with friends with troubles, although never to this extent.

He watched Virgil nose Saosin once again and tried to think of something to say. While the silence and quiet company was suited for the situation, he knew that something should be said, even though his English wasn't the best.

"I am not doctor." He spoke, his thick Russian accent coming through. "I not know what going on with him, but it can't be wrong being here. It not hurt to do what you doing. Must be good somehow."

Draak:

The Hart groggily raised his head from Saosin's skull when the light stag first spoke, looking to him indirectly without showing any dominance, submission or tension towards him. The Red trusted that Kostya is no threat.
With ears pricked, though eyelids heavy, he listened intently to what the Russian stag had to say. It took more concentration than usual to understand him, but the feral deer managed to at least catch the gist of it.

"He might not know." The older stag says, lowering his head down to the still form of his Equal once more. "Or maybe he dreams."

Kostya looked at the other

Kostya looked at the other stag, he briefly wondered how much sleep Virgil was getting, possibly not a lot. He looked so tired and weary.

"Maybe." He couldn't see a reason as to why these deer wouldn't dream like other animals, even if they didn't know what was wrong with Saosin. Kostya stood and moved closer to the bright red stag, giving another fruitless sniff and inspection. "He big deer. He'll be okay." Kostya said, trying to give some positive words.

—

January 18, 2015 - 2:46am — WayfarerHart

"Maybe..." The Hart echoed

"Maybe..." The Hart echoed the lighter stag as he presses his maw against the sun-bleached skull. A strong nudge, followed by a pause, he then withdrew and stepped away as Kostya moved in.

The Red stands sentinel once again, sniffing the air, listening, watching through the haze of his exhausted mind. It took him a moment to register what Kostya last said, and when he does, he turns to look back at him. If The Red were capable of human-like expressions, the smile he would've cast is bittersweet gratitude.
