Cay giggled every time the stag said something to Tazanna. "I'm watching this!" she said and watched them closely.

But oblivious to both, they might have bitten off more than they could chew. A doe used to getting what she wanted, a stag even more so... this could only end... interestingly.
And interestingly was precisely what Raleigh saw it as. Another sassy, little chuckle to Cay Lynn before he moved even closer to Tazanna, his movements so graceful, he barely even stirred the water.
"By the way... those are some interesting... powers... you've got, my dear... care to fill me in?..." He asked, sniffing some willow-leaves absent-mindedly, striking a rather stunning figure, so white against the forest and water, he was rivalling the shine of the sun.

"My powers she chuckled"she almost had said inheritance.
"Those are for me to know about and you to never need them again"she said playfully.
She felt the stag move closer unfortunately for him he would have to work harder if her wanted to become close with her.
"The water it good enough to drink but it is also good for swimming "she said as she lept over the stag and dived into the deeper water.

I know same here your one on those two sitting in a tree made me laugh as well.

Making him almost flinch as her hooves flew over his back, his red eyes following her vigilantly, only to calmly look to Cay Lynn as she disappeared under water.
Smiling that charmingly smug little smile of his, he tilted his head just slightly.
"Indeed I do, though I would never hurt a doe... It goes against my principles." He said smoothly, the countless bodies of his past victims dancing in front of his eyes as the words left his lips.
He was the kind who fought to kill. Sparring was rarely something he delved into.

Tazanna surfaced she smirked as she saw the two.
She knew just by looking at the staag that he was a great fighter.
But she would not tell him this,she quickly turned her gaze elswhere.She dived easlity once more swimming came naturally to her as she gracefully moved under the surface of the water.

Having his full attention now, Cay Lynn got to witness the subtle change in Raleigh's eyes as they went from flirtatious to completely cold and positively murderous, though his charming smile stayed exactly the same.
"My dear, it's not the size that counts~..." he said in a calm, unflinching way, even giving a small smirk, not moving an inch as Cay Lynn moved closer.
He looked up briefly at his antlers, perfectly aligned, as they were, with his eyes... or the eyes of any other deer he might chose to fight...

{I'm Skyping with my dad right now >.>
I'll reply when I'm finished}

[Alrighty >w< *sits and waits*]

But for once, the smile on Raleigh's face melted away as Tazanna threw herself between the two, cold eyes warming up to their usual glow gradually.
"I'd rather have my tongue talk instead of my antlers. Besides, the lady disapproves~..." He said smoothly, giving the black-and-blue doe that charming smile again, though rather a lot on the smirk-side...
A smirk which spoke for itself.
You do care, don't you?~...

He watched one of the Koi fish in the pond as it swam around, musing upon it. The Koi was a curious little creature, he had noticed it appearing anywhere where harmony was around, and in these calm waters there was certainly a lot of that.
"Indeed, I enjoy serenity sometimes," He replied. "Being of chaos makes one appreciate the few times that one is able to simple be calm, be still and simply listen."

His ears of course heard the patterns in the random sounds, the little ostinati that were there in the rhythms and harmonys, dischordant waves that ran through noise. It was what his ears were trained for, little harmonies in a sea of dissonant chaos. That was the true subtlety of harmony, where he worked in chaos. He could upset the patterns of course, anyone could, for unlike the chaotic movements of life, the harmonious tunes were but fleeting moments, destroyed so easily, usually by the first person to find the source, usually through no fault of their own.

He regarded the doe, she seemed to have a blush upon her face, it was in his mind strange. Had he done something to embarrass her? That was unlikely, he had followed the customs of the forest, he even now threw in a head bow for good measure to create a full greeting. He was curious as to why she was blushing. Was it attraction? Heh, not that it mattered to him. He was not for the moment particularly interested in playing with her.

It was rarer for him to be in the mood for the company of women, usually, he sought them only at his darkest moments, when reassurance was neccessary.

Mick $$$$$$$$"It seems though once we reach that level of peace,we often yearn for that peace to be corrupted once more.And when we are in the middle of chaos we wish to escpape it's the way it is however unbalancing it may seem"she said wisely.

She watched the beautiful koi swim.Her blush faded as she began to regain control of herself

"Perhaps." Nathaniel answered non comittally, "I have always viewed it simply as a rest, for even chaos needs it's own harmonies to function, but that is just one man's opinion." He added, with his voice betraying a little of how old it was. Not that he would literally sound old of course, that did not happen, it was merely that the way he spoke would betray the age that lay beneath them.

Not that he would tell his age of course. It was something that he kept to himself, for questions about age led to questions about history and that led to reminscience and that, Nathaniel knew would inevitably lead him to the guilt that bit at the corners of his soul. He would not allow that remaining guilt to return to him, to haunt his mind again. T'was enough pain merely to live alone. To be reminded of them through their voices would be more than he could really bare.

"So?" she tilted her head annoyed.

But only got a chuckle in response, together with yet another smirk, more playful than dark now.
"Temper, temper, dear Cay Lynn, you don't sully the words of the language in the presence of a lady~" He said, almost wishing for Cay Lynn to pick up on the thinly-veiled insult. He'd never really tried sparring for fun before, but it sounded like an interesting idea. He wanted to try it, but without picking the fight himself. That would just damage his chances with Tazanna, after all.

She hopped over to him and nudged him "you don't have ane chances anyway~" she whispered to him.

"It is but to narrow down the simplicity of it is a harder task for some"she said.
She kept her distance still sensing that he really wasn't comfortable with her.
She lowered her head to drink once more.

Her ears flickered and regardless of their whispers she could still hear them.
She snorted slightly and shook her head.
Did he honestly think it would be easy to win any of her affection.
He was mistaken if he thought so.
She was dry by now so she quietly walked away a few paces to a berry bush.


{Just out of curiosity would he ever take a relationship with Tazanna seriously?"

*Gasp* I see a purple pig flying outside my window lol jk

True

"Oh really?... If thats true, I'm a koi." she snorted and turned her head towards the doe.

Little did she know, there were only few things in this world Raleigh didn't see. Another of his uncanny characteristics.
Smirking, his eyes now back on Tazanna, he started walking leisurely towards her, proud and graceful.
"You'd better start taking swimming-lessons then, little fish~" He whispered to Cay Lynn as he approached his present prey. He would have her. No matter what.

She didn't care for the look in his eye,she felt like he was a predator closing in on his prey.
Little did the predator know that she was his equal,she wasn't someones toy to throw aside whenever they liked.
She had felt that he had done so with other does in his lifetime and that this was just a game to him.
Except this time his world was in for a rather rude awakening,
She ignored him as she nibbled on some berries.

She chuckled "Your tongue speaks nothing but flatter however your intentions are questionable"she said as she admired the beautiful flower.
She did however doubt that she was a flawless beauty.


{Zm do you wish to continue with Cay Lynn?}

She giggled, but then she sat down like a dog in the pond, and watched those two.

[What do you mean?]
