Being a newborn deer without a mentor is hard, I've discovered.

It's not so bad, to run around by yourself, rubbing trees and eating mushrooms...but to see other fawns and adults, it's a bit disquieting! It takes every fiber of me not to dart off like a bird.

I've been pelt-changed twice today, which was a pleasant surprise! I just wish I knew how to properly say thank you without acting wrong.

Well, no one said being a deer was easy~
