"Congratulations!", she exclaimed loudly when Kaoori told her that it was twins. She wondered what it was like to carry twins, but it seemed to be a bit more than she thought she could manage. "I know the feeling, Kaoori. My first is almost a year now..", she said with a sigh, oh how the time flew. It made her wish that her son had stayed younger longer, and that she had more children.

The simple question brought her back, and she smiled then nodded, walking closer to Kaoori to make sure she sat down alright before she herself would sit. "Need some help?"

YAY this page is mine broskis. ♥

A small smile appeared on her pale human face when Kaoori said her nickname, and she nodded. Wincing when the doe declined help, she had to restrain herself from a gasp when she flopped over, knowing too well that she had scared her old, lost friend Iaurdagnire too many times when she did that herself. She settled in next to the doe, although her body was slightly off angle so they could chat face to face without having to strain their necks. "I do; his name is Lucamo.", she said with a small smile, picturing his already too mature face. "The father has..passed on; though his entity sometimes remains.", she muttered softly next, feeling the sudden urge to tell her new friend everything.

The mood shifted when Kaoori told her she had three, plus the two she was expecting. "Wow! Congratulations again to you; such a large, lovely sounding family.", she said warmly, though hiding a pang of jealousy as she too longed for a larger family. When Kaoori paused at her last daughter's name, Dinamo's breath caught in her throat. "I am so sorry Kaoori; but..it is always good to have one watching over you, waiting for you to come home..", she whispered, her throat constricting as her words made her slightly sad.

I'mma bump this. Would really like to RP again.

I know i keep falling out of the habit, but every now and then is nice.

I would love that. Kaoori loves her Queze.

Would you mind? I can if need be. ;_;

That's fine! Take your time. I'm just thrilled to be rping. \o/

Kaoori had just awakened, being a late lazy sleeper as of late. She was headed toward the water for a cool drink, and maybe a bite to eat of the lush grass that grew around the pond. For some reason today, she was pulled to go toward the idol instead- and as she gazed at the cool waterfall coming down from the stone, she saw something green and familiar-looking. She peered her head into the waterfall, when suddenly water doused her nose and she snorted, losing her balance and landing into the water with a mighty squeak.

(ROFL oh, Queze ;_; )

Kaoori dragged herself out of the water, looking waterlogged. She shook quickly, however, and her coat once again became fluffy. Her ears flattened and she looked sheepish, but when she finally realized it was her old friend, she nearly bowled him over in a tiny tacklehug.

"Queze! I never see you anymore! Are you alright?"

(fff she already had them! xD Do you want to edit the post?

Kao: u calin me fat queze?? B| )

(Alright, here's the new post haha, sans bebeh-tummy :'D)

He laughs at the little doe's exuberance, bending down he rubs his chin between her ears. His brow furrows slightly, a slight frown that makes him look years older. "I am sorry about that Kaoori. I had someone I had to deal with back home." He feels guilty but it could not be helped. "I am fine, and now that I am back you can explain all I have missed in my absence."

(kk, no rush! C:)

Hearing about Kaoori's ever-growing family made Queze feel a brotherly joy, especially considering the memory of Hoshiko. "Takeshi a father...and you a grandmother!" His smile is earnest, only teasing a little. "I am very happy for you and your family and I look forward to meeting these newest editions." Knowing her for as long as he has, Queze can tell when something troubles her but knows she will tell him when ready. "How is Wesker?"

The smile fades from his face, because news of Walter is never good. "What has he done?" He's stern and there's an old steel back in his voice. His mind jumps to the twins, who are now a source of dread instead of joy.

It is a small part of him that feels relief at the news, the rest is sadness. Regret for not being here, the thought that had he been perhaps Walter could have been protected. "I do not know if he will come back, I don't understand his arrangement with...whatever being it is that returns him. While he had more experience with reincarnation, lifetimes of it in fact, Queze only hoped that whatever God was watching out for Walter's soul continued to do so. "Thank you for telling me this...but you don't have to pretend you want him back."

He'd honestly never hoped to understand the reason she tolerated his relationship with Walter, after all the harm he'd caused her. Lowering himself down beside her, his tail curls into a crescent around her smaller frame. "I am grateful for your understand you are, by far the most forgiving woman I have ever met."

Truth be told he was grateful for the change of topic, it was rare that he discussed his home world with anyone of The Forest. I liked to keep it that way, but knowing his friend's curiosity, he made an exception. "How much do you know about my leaving, Kaoori?"

He nods, settling more comfortably into the grass. "You remember correctly. The Jungle I go to is where I was born, where my children were born. He dusts the ground with the feathers of his tail-tip absentmindedly. "There I am a...mh well I am not divine like you know the word. My abilities allow me to come here when I die in that world of mine, and to return again when I sleep here."

"We all must die eventually, I just do it more than most." The stag seems, eerily unperturbed by this revelation. "I have lived many lives, gotten to make different choices. Forgiven those who wronged me before, or killed them before they could do so again..." He trails off here, his tail continuing it's distracted serpentine motion.

"Hm I guess, you could say that when I sleep here I gain my family. I am reborn as a babe in my world. I get to relive my life, good and bad, for however much time I am given." He hopes Kaoori understands that not everything about his situation is horrible, he had resigned himself to this existence long ago. "I have gotten to watch my children grow up many, many times."

He chuckles at her. "Yes I have had five children. Though really I guess I should say I have had five children many times. There are many things that stay the same, lifetime after lifetime. My wife, when I life long enough to meet her, is always my Mienya." He smiles at the memory of her.

(Thank you! It's taken me a long time to feel out exactly how his world-shifting works. I'm finally happy with it.)

It is a reassuring thing, a divine affirmation that yes, he and her were perfect for each other. "One life, after our daughter had been killed...I tried to save her the pain by never meeting." He chuckles warmly. "Hah, she ended up throwing herself into my life anyway." Queze looks at her with a queer expression, as though facing a humorous personal debate. "I would say she would enjoy meeting you, both of you have the same values but...I don't know what she would think of a starry-blue little spirit. My daughter would want you as a pet." He teases.

Yes, he was quite certain that if Kaoori ever found herself in his world she would end up bejeweled and fawned over. Chances are her unique appearance would save her from simply being eaten and...well he decided not to mention that.

"Hm. No I do not think that will ever happen. I don't think I would want her here, which will sound odd I know but this place is not her place." The thought of his lovely human wife, trapped as a deer. Well he remembered what that had done to him all those years ago. "Getting to see her again when I return is enough for me." After this he is silent for a long while.

Suddenly as if remembering something very important he locks eyes with Kaoori.
"There is someone in my world who is...almost like me, if anyone was able to follow me it would be him. He was very near that revelation himself in my last lifetime." His voice is very low now, dangerously quiet. "If you see him, you must send for Wesker and any others you can. They must kill him, if I am not here to do it myself." He had meant to entrust this to Walter, that had felt right but, given the circumstances he hoped this would be a suitable safeguard.

(I dunno, I've been flirting with the idea for a while. It would likely only be an On Site thing, not In Game.)

"He is like me in his abilities but not in character. Ocelot is as dangerous as I am, maybe more." Suddenly the best comparison reveals itself and he knows she will understand. "He is like Walter. He would not hesitate to kill anyone here, and he would do so simply to spite me." Queze was certain of it.

He is sorry to have scared her but, it is good that she is afraid. Her fear will protect her. "His favorite form is a cat, a jaguar...hm. You might not know what that is. He is golden, with large claws. A predator. Like me he can also be a man, another predator and just as dangerous." He snorts in contempt. "Though I suspect, if he did make his way here he would make sure you knew him. He enjoys the dramatic."

"As do I." It was not likely that Ocelot would gain access to The Forest, but if he did strike some dark deal with his own God it could happen. "I do not enjoy killing Ocelot." The way he said it gave the distinct impression he had done so before, perhaps many times.

"Yes." He's not sure what more to say about it, not really understanding the cycle himself. "Though not always." His voice is quiet and expression calm, but you can tell this is a source of deep melancholy for the stag. "Sometimes he kills me. Sometimes we kill each other."

"I do not know." Shifting so his side rested against hers he tried to reassured her. "There is no knowing what my deity plans for me." He lets out a deep rumbling sigh, smiling. "Well, I suspect that is all the sour news out of the way...Enough of all that, tell me more of your new twins. What are they like? Do they take after Wesker and yourself?"
