@Zerg:
He hoped that would be the case, for he wondered how his cousin was doing. There were others he pondered about as well, such as a certain doe of violet shades of color. He really had been away too long.

A nod was given in answer as he began to rise to his hooves. "That would be fine with me." Perhaps they would encounter a familiar face or two there or along the way.

@(ninja)Mick:
Not watching a movie. Toukan had to force back a snort that was both exasperated and amused. Kylar would give that kind of suggestion. ...not that he was against the idea of course.

"If we do that, I better leave the forest in my own way so I don't lose my clothes again..." Since last time Kylar had taken him through that portal at the Ruins, he'd ended up naked.

“Mmm…for that, maybe I should make you come out of the forest my way,” Kylar chuckled, his boyfriend did have an irresistible human body in his eyes. He would say in most people’s eyes but he was a bit biased, although just because it was biased didn’t mean that it wasn’t true. He had however, prepared for the eventuality of Toukan coming out of the forest with him again, “I did take up some of your clothes to my little box of clothes that I keep on the outside…so it wouldn’t matter if you came out my way but it’s up to you.” He added with a little snuggle into his love – just in the case the other decided to go his own way out of the forest because that would mean goodbye for a little while…he wasn’t even sure where Toukan came out when he left the forest by his own means.

[ hrrrrrk sorry I haven't replied, I've been kind of inactive lately and I'm in a weird mental place and uh, I'll reply in the morning if you like but if your brain's dead that's cool too and uh. yeah. ]

@Dannii: I don't know where I was going with that RP anyway, so it's ok. It'd be cool if they interacted again sometime though, whether it be on here or in-Forest. I think Tundra kinda likes him in some weird way. |D That, or he's just starved for socialization and won't admit it.

@Zerg:
He could not help blinking in reaction to those words. "Wesker's doing?" Bastilion had to wonder what had caused that. He doubted the elk would go to such measures for no reason.

[[Starting to braindead so it's short. >>; ]]

Kylar smirked at Toukan’s decision; not simply because he would get to look upon the other’s body – which in itself was good – but because he didn’t really want to have to separate from the other for a while and then wait for them both to meet up back at their home. Their home, it was such a strange thought. They had been living together for the better part of a year and Kylar still was adjusting. Not that his boyfriend’s things were bad or anything. It was just weird to think that he – who had been a total playboy beforehand, was now living with a boyfriend and that he was perfectly happy to do so. It was a good realisation – but it was still a startling one.
“Was hoping yi’d say that,” Kylar said with the smirk audible in his tone and the accent which had flared a little again. He turned his body towards the ruins, “Shall we?”

@Zerg:
There was a hum of agreement from the chocolate-colored stag. "That is true..." Since the deed had been undone with Walter's return to life, it no longer mattered. Though perhaps the animosity that led up to it would still be present. Bastilion wondered if he would find out the cause of that conflict. And if he did not...well, he would be content either way.

[[I can't remember if Bast ever knew about the tension between Kaoori and Walter, hence he gets to be ignorant of it. |D]]

@Mick:
He couldn't help the slight smile that formed in response to that smirk since he knew he'd made the other happy with his decision.
Toukan nodded, pointing himself towards the Ruins where he remembered the portal was. He hoped traveling through it wouldn't seem as weird this time.

@Dannii: It must happen then. B|

Toukan blinked, pulled out of his idle musing. "Hm?" He wondered what gave the idea something could be wrong. Sure, he wondered if traveling via that portal would seem strange again, or if he'd be ok since he knew what to expect now...but that didn't count as something being wrong. "No. Why?"

"Seemed like somethin' was on your mind, is all," Kylar answered figuring that he must have been wrong about the signs on Toukan's face - well that or Toukan thought it too irrelevant to mention. Still, Kylar was curious. He was so sure that something had been in the other's thoughts that it was strange to be told that there wasn't anything at all.

Dark nodded at the word. "Yes. The... water aff..ected... deer who... drank fr...om the pond... for se...veral days... after Wal...ter died... in it. I do.. not know how... else to de...scribe it." he explains.

"Alright, fair enough," Kylar said. He might have pressed it furthur had they the time but the ruins were in sight and it would be time to start summoning up the portal soon enough and that took mental effort. He figured that that was so that it didn't open whenever they were in proximity to the ruins and let anyone out when they were nearby since the portal was indiscriminate. Anyone who walked through the door could get out of the forest - although it seemed that only people close emotionally to Kahlan and Kylar could actually see the door and therefore know where it was. He hoped that no resident had walked through it accidentally - although it was in a wall so they would have to walk into solid rock by accident. He walked to the area where the portal would appear and he concentrated on the wall. His blood lightning crackled a little, and a spark flew to the wall. That usually happened when he summoned it up - there was no reaction whenn Kahlan did it so he figured that the portal must have some kind of static or something. He didn't know, but as he concentrated on the door appearing - it did exactly that.

The portal was not exactly anything interesting to look at - it simply appeared to be a box of white light approximately eight feet by six feet. It was more interesting to step through, which Kylar would wait on Toukan doing first so as not to strand the other by the ruins. When stepping through, anyone presumably other than people with powerful healing magic like Kahlan experienced a blackness as they were transported through and their form changed. According to Kahlan, what she saw was also darkness but she could see herself and could see her molecules literally moving and changing as she demolecularised and then remolecularised in the other form. Strangely enough, she had noticed that the mask she wore seemed to simply float away when she went from deer to human and then float back onto her face when she reversed that. She was unsure where it went. The same did not happen with clothes. She had walked through with clothes once - according to her the molecules simply scattered and did not return, so when she came back through, she was naked - hence both siblings had placed a box of clothing so that they could strip without leaving their clothes to the elements.
"After you milove," Kylar said, gesturing slightly at the portal wall.

@Mick:
Toukan felt his fur raise up a bit like there was static electricity to the air before the portal appeared. He wasn't sure if that happened last time, but went with it anyway.

A brow rose at being told to go first, but with a mental shrug, the reindeer stepped forward towards the box of light. "Don't go into the light," he couldn't help joking quietly to himself.

@Zerg: My mind is going blank now. 8| I would put Trist, but handling 2 characters at once gets challenging.

I might throw another OC in myself. |D
Just gotta decide who.

He was through, he could feel the cold breeze running across his now naked body – it always made him cold to come back from deer from since they were internally warmer and also they had fur and his human form had none of that, well he could change the temperature of the blood lightning to warm him but it could make him feel pretty ill – like he had hyperthermia. That probably was what happened, his core body temperature probably couldn’t take the lightning being warmer than usual. It was warmer than the average human. They were about 37 degrees Celsius, where Kylar was about 40. Not a massive difference, but it made him a little bit warmer on the outside. Usually the armpits was the only place someone would really notice the temperature difference. He wrapped his arms around Toukan for a moment. The other seemed to have his eyes shut, like he was taking a moment. He laid a kiss to the top of his head.
“Just for a minute,” Kylar murmured quietly, his pitch lower than normal given how quiet his voice was. He enjoyed the feeling of having his arms around Toukan – and that was one of the reasons he had wanted to come back into the human realm. He had wanted to do this.

|D Okie-Dokie-Smokie. /end Pinkiepie voice.

Noticing a certain lack of deer sticking around by the pond, Dark can't help frowning slighly to himself. He couldn't have possibly been the only reason for a partial evacuation, could he? Then again, it was still reasonable enough to assume so.
Near the pond, the orca-doe hardly seemed to notice the demon's arrival. The random evacuation of half the deer in the area only led her to think everyone's just ADHD today. Paying the abandonment no mind, she remains knee-deep in the pond in idle conversation with the koi and dragonflies.

(B| I realized Zerg needs more attention. So have a ball of random in this RP. XDDDDD)

When he recieved the kiss to his cheek, Kylar felt like it wasn't enough. He turned his lover so that he could lean in and give him a kiss properly - something that he couldn't do when they were in deer form. He liked the taste of Toukan - always minty fresh. It was like he had a permanant supply of breathmints delievered to his system without actually having to eat them. Kylar wondered what he tasted like, but then it didn't matter. It clearly was something that didn't bother Toukan so that was all that was important. His lover could stand kissing him.

@Mick:
The kiss caught Toukan by surprise - the good kind. He wondered why he hadn't thought to do that before instead of just a kiss on the cheek...but that didn't matter right now.
His arms came up to return the embrace he was still in as he sought to deepen the kiss, applying a little more pressure with his lips.

[[I just rolled my eyes at what I wrote.]]

@Zerg: [[Ah, the memories... 8'D "FOOL! *smack*" All fear the mighty antlers.]]

A quick glance was sent in the giant's direction at the sidestep, Bastilion resisting the urge to raise a brow at his actions. Soon his gaze returned to the odd doe's direction as she seemed to be conversing with one of the insects that had alighted on her ear. Either he was going mad, or she was...but he did not have much time to ponder that as she seemed to arrive at the decision to approach the two of them.

The brown stag blinked, nearly forgetting his manners as he had not expected to be approached by a strange stranger. He did not care about the repetitive nature of that thought either.

Finally, with a mental shake of the head at himself, the Irish elk bent his leg in a half bow - for that was what had been ingrained in him...and to bow lower with such large antlers would surely topple him over, and he could not have that of course. "Good day to you, Miss," he greeted her.

Another blink was elicited as the Irish elk was thrown off guard. "No, I do not..." What an odd question... Indeed he had eaten fish in his past life as a human, but he did not dare partake of meat of any kind in his current form, unsure if his body could even handle it.

And there was the blush those words caused. Especially since it reminded Toukan that they were both still lacking in the clothes area...in public...where anyone could suddenly appear... The reddening of his face threatened to grow darker. "Uhh, right... We should probably grab our clothes now..."

Despite the extra blushing those words caused, Toukan had indeed been admiring the view... But not too much so as to avoid..."problems" as Kylar had put it.

He chose not to respond with words as he reached for his own clothes, figuring the redness of his face was response enough.

Khakis and a light blue shirt. Typical clothing for Toukan to wear, so he was fine with it. Now that he was covered up it was easier to quell the blushing that had been a near constant. He'd noticed a slight change in color to the necklace's glow and it hadn't helped. Interesting that whatever necklace he wore never got lost when he switched forms or switched worlds... He wondered how that worked, but it didn't really matter. As long as it stayed that way.

A glance back at his lover showed he was dressed as well. No more admiring the view then...though that was probably a good thing, as they were still out in public.

An amused browraise was shot at the white lightning bolt.

With a glance sent down towards the necklace, Toukan's brow furrowed in thought as he tried to remember what dark blue meant. A brow went up again once he figured it out, thinking it odd that the other would just be sad all of a sudden. "What? Don't like my staring? Because I could just stop looking at you..." There was a teasing edge to his voice as he purposely looked away.

Toukan couldn't help smiling at that before turning his head and giving the other a quick peck on the lips. "I could never go without looking at you for very long."

He definitely wasn't protesting, responding to the kiss with interest as he wrapped his arms around the other to return the embrace he was in.

If they hadn't needed to breathe, Toukan wouldn't have minded the kiss lasting longer...but air held just a bit more importance.

"Yea, probably," he agreed even though he was reluctant to move away just yet. He was too comfortable like this.

One could describe the look on Bastilion's face as one of thinking this odd doe had grown a second head. Although...after being reborn into the form of a deer with a human face in a forest full of other human-faced deer, not to mention magic...he should not be surprised to encounter a doe who conversed with dragonflies - and koi apparently.

Shaking off his perplexed expression, the dark stag nodded, introducing himself. "I am called Bastilion."
