Hello everyone! I'm only on my second day as a fawn, but I've had the good fortune to meet a kind pair of adult deer. They played with me (a fawn named Lillu) for quite a while, and in my head I've taken to referring to them as "Mom and Dad".

Unfortunately, I don't know how to post a picture in this blog, or even if I'm posting this where I want to be, so I'll have to rely on verbal description to identify them. "Mom" had a marbled coat, warm brown with white on the front of her neck and golden streaks and spots on her sides. Her antlers curved backward and were light gray, with circular loops in the tips. "Dad" was also brown and silky-looking, with bands of lighter brown, and very large antlers. Both of my "parents" had masks that lowered the tone of their bellow and had dark blue patches over their eyes.

"Dad" had to leave before long, and left us at the ruins. "Mom" stayed with me for quite awhile longer, and we spent a good amount of time changing my pelt, antlers, and mask in the woods near the pond. Afterward, Mom sat in the shade of a willow by the pond's edge. I sat with her a while, but eventually got impatient and bored and went off to play by myself. I returned and stayed with her for a while longer before leaving the forest.

"Mom's" pictogram was a square with a small curlicue at the top, in the middle, and "Dad's" was a large curlicue positioned vertically, with a curve and maybe some other lines (it was hard to see between his antlers). My pictogram is two downward loops on either side, with a bar across the top and in the middle a vertical line down the left with a diagonal line up to the other loop at its tip, with a tiny vertical line hanging down from the center of the bar.

Here's hoping this sounds familiar to someone.
