Curiosities

I found myself searching out Lady Aegle after I awoke. This was after finding a familiar deer I had seen before sitting beside me. But upon noticing my waking nature, they fled. They seem to be quite wary of other deer.
When they are awake at least.
But, as I said, I was seeking out Lady Aegle. I have been growing concerned with how the few times I have noticed her presence in the forest, she would be secluded, as if avoiding others.
Alas, when I found her, she was asleep, curled up in a patch of hyacinths. Rather than startle her into wakefulness, I settled for watching over from afar. There was a nice spot being shined upon by sunlight that did nicely.
Peace can only last so long, of course, for my idle musing was interrupted by the arrival of that same deer from before. Though they were not alone. They seemed to be caught in the pursuit of an insistent fawn. This deer seemed to even not wish the company of fawns either. I do not know why, but rather than question this at the time, I decided to offer a small mercy by obtaining the fawn's attention and allowing that brown deer to slip away.
I do not usually seek out the company of fawns, for they are quite energetic and insist on frolicking play, but some do surprise me. A few might even convince me to join in their play.
Quite a rambunctious youngster this fawn turned out to be. I could not decipher exactly what they wished to do. One moment they would be tilting their head at me followed by laughter, the next they would be rearing up in mock-spar.
Though I did gather they enjoyed the various masks that change the voice. I was better able to this time around as well of course.
That one deer - I get the odd feeling they are a doe, so I shall refer to them as that from now on - seemed to have been watching from nearby, and decided to walk by. This caught the fawn's attention, and before I knew it, they cast a mask spell, startling her. This would surprise anyone I am sure, but the reaction was far greater than expected. It was one of fear. The doe began trying to keep the fawn away by increasing the distance between them. But this fawn was persistent. I had to step in once more, taking pity on this wary doe.
During this time I did not fail to notice Lady Aegle awake and depart. It seems she wishes to remain secluded...
Finally, I captured the fawn's attention long enough for that deer to get away again. Though it seems instead of getting far, she collapsed. I could not go over to check her well-being however, as the fawn was demanding my attention once more. They even managed to get me to hop and run around with them, as well as partake in some light boxing. Or that is how I interpreted their rearing. It was more like we were striking the air between us...
I am curious of what that fawn is called.
I am curious of what is bothering Lady Aegle.
...I am also curious of what I should make of this one doe, for I believe I sense them lying beside my dozing form...
What makes them so afraid of other (awake) deer?
I suppose I shall find out one day, but for now I shall end this here.
I remain,
Bastilion
The Fawn: "...Thank you for
If you're his friend, then I'm willing to...stop running from you. I need help in getting out of here...Just don't disappoint me."
And of course, she'll probably be disappointed. x3 Yes, she did collapse. She's still wounded and pretty much ran all over the forest before coming near Bastilion. She wasn't exactly "watching"; she just collapsed before she could get further away. >> Guess it was stress & headache from the light & wounds. xD
Also, mind me adding this to her update section? x3
Since he more than likely
And of course. You don't even need to ask. =]
