Cedrelÿa was drowsing under a tree, situated on the pound's edge. While she was in her thoughts, thinking desperatly that she was the only doe with fins, she noticed this little green creature get out of the water. She was obviously not exactly like her, but Cedrelÿa couldn't stop to look at her ... She was captivating by this little doe, and even if she doesn't like so much disturb strangers, she started to stand up, and walked quietly to the adorable little thing. She snuffled the water-lily on her head, and had a light cringe. Erf, that smelled the frog ... She lowered the head more, and snuffled this time her little muzzle. And told her, clumsily "Hum ... Well ... So sorry to disturb you little one but ... Well, that seems curious for you certainly but ... I wondered: do you live in the pound ?"
Cedrelÿa blushed and felt so silly at this moment.

Ced was a little suprised about this answer ... This tiny doe seemed to be greatly discrete. She was thinking that maybe, this green creature had been insulted because of her "water trappings", like herself. So obviously, she finally understood why this little thing would be as secret as possible. Cedrelÿa gazed the green doe, smiling almost like a mother who wanted reassure her little one. "For sure, I can ... Hum ... By chance, do you want enjoy the sun near me, under the tree where I was sleeping ? Or we can sit down in the pond, if you prefer be more discrete ... But I don't want disturb you, maybe you want be alone ... I also like be alone too, so I could easily understand."

Cedrelÿa was a real "chatterbox" ... it's not in her habits ... But as it's the first time she saw a water doe, she absolutly wanted know more about her life and origins. After asked her question, she felt as if she was too oppressing, and began to look intensively the ground, her ears lowered back her head.

Cedrelÿa first didn't say nothing, and observed attentively the tiny green doe starting lay down on the green grass, without move to follow her ... If she didn't followed her with eyes, she never found the little doe, well camouflaged in the middle of this green grassy expanse. Shyly, she began to walk to her new friend ... And sat down near her. A silly thought suddenly went through her mind: If someone see her here, talking ... Would he think she's talking to a ghost ? ... Nevermind ... She was silent, before dare asking her softly, despite her deep voice: "So ... You told me that you live in the pond ... But since when ? I never seen you here few months ago ... Are you alone or do you live with your family in these waters ?"

Cedrelÿa strongly hoped that the tiny doe will answer that she has some family members living with her ... That will let her to meet other deers of aquatic type. But if the green doe always lived in the pond, they definitly don't have the same origin ... As her mother's family lived in the Sea.

Cedrelÿa put her head on the soft and warm grass, closing her eyes to better appreciate the answer of her friend.

Cedrelÿa listened carefully to the little doe ... She was a little deceived that her new friend didn't answer to the question about her family, but she guessed it was because she doesn't have family ... Ced felt sorry for her, and wanted reassure her and show her that she can count on her if she needs a presence or to be defended. But as she didn't know her enough, she didn't want frighten her with excessive familiarity.

The warmth of the Sun was really pleasant and calming. But, as it's often the case, some old scales of Ced were itchy ... She strongly wanted to rub against a tree, but thought it would be impolite to interrupt the tiny doe. She clenched her teeth, and gazed at the green doe, squinting because of the blinding light: "My name is Cedrelÿa ... And yours ?" Ced waited for her answer, her face yet contorted.

The finned doe was thinking that "Lily" was a really sweet name, and that she really deserved it. "What a charming name ! " she said, with a large smile on her face. "And for sure, it would be a pleasure to spend time with you in the pond, making some bubbles ". Cedrelÿa likes swim too ... She has the particularity to be able to stay indefinitely under the water ... It's the specificity of marine deers, as Flyleaf told her recently. The tall doe was now slowly walking until the pond with the tiny doe. She dived under the quite warm water, deploying the four little fins she had behind each leg ... And started swimming, wishing her new friend would quickly join her to race with her in the deepest part of the pond.

Siggy by Shiori

Ced jumped out of the water, and fell again in this one with a spectacular velocity, producing any sound when she came in contact with the water. Then she came back slowly to the surface, appearing under a lily pad ... She couldn't resist to crack a smile, thinking that she finally looked like her friend now. She waited the green doe appears too, to show her how much she adored the playful moment they just enjoyed together.

See the little green doe giggle was a nice thing ... She didn't seem as happy few minutes ago ... But the subject of this amusement was not as beautiful. Ced really hated frogs, she found they were too uglies and glutinous. She couldn't help to have a cold shiver when she felt the slimy webbed-feet slide down on the right side of her face " OMG, that's just soooo repugnant !". She felt so stupid when she understood she had spoken too loudly. She didn't like show her fears, and let alone in front of deers she didn't know. She felt more silly again when she heard the tiny doe giggle for the second time.

Cedrelÿa noticed the little doe was shocked by what she just said ... And felt suddenly extremly uncomfortable ... She tried her best to find the good words and gave this explanation, with a quavering voice: " Oh ... so ...sorry ! You know I never lived in a pond, my family came from ... se .. sea and ... There are no frogs there ... I'm not accustomed to live near them ... I can imagine you see them as friends, as they somewhat are your ... your neighbours. Really sorry, I'll never say something wrong about them, I promise ". The blue doe didn't dare look at the other creature, as she felt so guilty ... She hoped the little doe will forgive her. Waiting her reaction, her tail frantically swashed the water's surface.

Ced noticed the little green doe didn't know how to react. She couldn't imagine how much this doe was alone before starting talk with her ... She took pity on her, and try to be as welcoming as possible, to not destabilize her more. The question of Lily was somewhat inevitable, and embarrassed the marine doe who never saw the sea, and reminds her the sad story of her parents. She started looking far ahead, her ears flattened back. Her expression was suddenly serious and sad, as the bloody memory of her parents murders was unbearable. She tried to answer, hidding her quavering and small voice "Oh, the sea ... Well ... In fact, I never saw the sea. And Flyleaf, my adopted father, formally prohibits me to go there for some reasons I can't tell you for the moment ... " The doe immediately changed the subject of the conversation "Hmm ... You seem as if you were a little uncomfortable ... Do you prefer we move to a quieter area ? "

The scaled doe followed quietly the green one, taking advantage of the heat, which is obviously really appreciated for a cold-blooded creature like her. She observed carefully the little doe, as she likes do also with other deers. But with her, it was different: this doe didn't show so much her feelings, and it was difficult for Cedrelÿa to form an opinion on her. However, this mysterious personality increased her curiosity. "You know, you're one of the few deers who think I'm kind. Because deers here are quite afraid by the fact I look like a fish or a dragon. But I learnt to don't pay attention to it. The only problem is that ... I would love to make friends I can rely on." She stops few seconds, before carry on. "I noticed you seemed quite alone ... Have you friends here ?" Her voice was as soft as possible. Cedrelÿa wanted to show to the tiny doe that she could tell her all what she wanted, that she'll never judge her wrong.

Ced was sorry to hear this ... But not surprised. A desire to protect the little doe was rising up in her mind. She wrapped-around the tiny green creature with her long and large tail, smiling at her. "I see ... I would let you know that if you have any problem, or if you want to spend time with someone, I'm here ... Never hesitate !". The scaled doe finished her sentence by a friendly wink, and put slowly her head on the soft grass.

Yes, I'm sorry Carry, I'm really busy these times and I've some personal problems, so I'm late with 3 RP. Play them take me so much time as english is not my mother tongue, and I have not so many time actually. Don't worry, I never forget the current RP, it's just I have no time as I said. And with our RP, I'm short of ideas, as if we had all said for this time =(.

Wrah, sorry Carry! I sort of forgot/zoned out on this whole thing.


You still feelin' a muse for Lily?

Awesome! Then she can either...hmmm..weird. All right then. She can either meet Annabel or Leander.(Not sure where he came from, he just sort of popped up. I think he's jealous of Annabel or somethin'.) Who do you feel like having her meet? A cute little fawn or a scary fail half predator?

hmm Leo needs more friends. Annabel's still cute and tiny.


Leander sat on the hill overlooking the pond, his limbs folded under him. He was fluffed up against the cold, but was otherwise all right. He appeared as though he was half asleep, though his ears twitched to the sounds of the birds in the trees overhead and the squirrel that was a few yards off, eating an acorn or walnut or something of the sort. He wasn't interested in chasing after the squirrel, not when the stupid rodent would see him coming from a mile away.

They could. he's easy going when he's not scared or ticked off.

Leo ears perked up toward a sound that was more deer like, especially when the pond sounds wandered to his ears. He allowed his gaze to travel over the pond, spotting a wet looking doe near the willows. Had she come from the pond? Had she fallen in? Or was she crazy enough to go for a swim? This interested him enough to make it worth investigating. He got to his hooves, trotting toward the doe, only to halt once he came to the edge of the trees. He stayed there, ready to retreat should she prove she didn't want him around, or if he could figure out from there whether or not she was okay.

The lion stag remained where he was for a few moments, before slowly starting down toward the little doe. She was covered in the pond muck, which made him think she had more than a dip in the pond. He froze again, Did she die in the pond, and return? Could that happen? In this place, it would be next to normal if that happened.

Leo's ears went back, then perked forward again. "Did..do you live in the pond?" he ventured curiously, tilting his head to the side to make himself appear less threatening. At least, that was the plan there.

"Oh," Leander answered, glancing away from her toward the pond. So she wasn't some creepy undead creature. "Forgive me, but are you like a frog?" He tilted his head to the side curiously.

Leander flicked an ear, amused and confused all at the same time. "Green? Hardly. No, I meant...do you need the water to live? Like a frog is always found around water. Or can you venture away, into the forest?"

What did she mean by inside? Leo pondered over that for a few moments, before realizing she must have meant the forest. He nodded in its direction, "The forest? Really? Why have you stayed by the pond the whole time?"




Sorry, I color code off and on randomly. I'm a lazy person.

He laughed. "How stupid of me, I haven't introduced myself yet. I am Leander, you can call me Leo, and I know I look like it, but only bunnies and squirrels have a reason to fear me. What's your name?"

He thought for a second, "No, not really. I mean...I've come to expect that this forest has a lot of interesting deer who live in interesting places." he had yet to see a deer who lived up in trees, now that he thought about it. But it couldn't be too long now. Besides, the forest had it's weird magic. Anything was possible.

The lion deer half glanced at her as she attempted to start up a conversation.
"You okay, Lily?" he couldn't help but ask. Maybe she was nervous, or scared of him. A lot of deer were, that was no surprise.

Oh. That made sense. "Now why would that be? You seem so nice, I'm surprised you don't have someone to talk to you all the time." he flicked his ear and offered her a half smile.
