He watched his breath fog in front of his face as he breathed. Proof to anyone who couldn't feel temperature change that it was cold. Not that Kinsha couldn't tell of course. He shook a bit of the melting snow gathering on him off as he walked. Normally snow brought back old memories of his fawnhood, being that his best friend's name had meant "frost". He'd been like his brother, since his mother had taken him in after their herd found him wandering around alone. He had no idea where his "brother" was now. They'd lost each other while fleeing when the herd was attacked. Toukan always did have a bad leg...

He shook off the starting memories before they depressed him again, the rush from attending the recent Abiogenesis helping to keep them back. It was the only thing keeping him in higher spirits. He'd even avoided fleeing from most of the deer who approached him today.

Finally, he reached his destination - the Pond. There were a few other deer there, and though he had been feeling more social since the Abio, he still avoided approaching them, sticking to the side, away from them, to quench his thirst. He wouldn't mind them noticing him, though.

[I will figure out how to bring in Spadey soon. XD]

[Sorry, I'm kinda stuck on him. XD; I don't know how I'd bring anyone else in. D= Should I have him leave and pass by someone else heading to the pond? ...know what? I'll answer myself and do that. XD]

So he'd been noticed by Tropa. Kinsha nodded back his own greeting, but stayed where he was. She seemed preoccupied with the fawn nearby, who seemed to be just a little older than his cousin's children.

He blinked to himself, the thought of having cousins after thinking he'd had no family for years still feeling bizarre. Nodding to the doe again, this time in farewell, he took off for the Crying Idol, feeling like "bothering" his uncle if he was there.

As he got closer to the Idol, he noticed a pale-colored fawn with curled-forward kirin antlers growing in on his head watching the waterfalls flow forth. Spade. The older of Magnet's twins. ...frankly, he had no idea what to call their relation. What did one call their cousin's kids??

The fawn turned at hearing his approach, eyes wide in nervousness for a moment before going back to normal at seeing it wasn't a deer he didn't know. He smiled. "Hey Uncle Kin! Isn't it cool how the water never stops? I wonder where it all comes from, and how come the pond never overflows..." He looked at the statue in wonder again.

Kinsha couldn't help the chuckle. "Probably the Twin Gods' doing." He shook off more melted snow, wondering why Spade didn't seem bothered by it. A glance showed no other deer wearing the Secretary Bird pelt, nor the red pelt of the Crying Idol. He guessed Radeon was taking a run or something.

"I'm gonna head to the pond now."

The dark stag could read the fawn's plans right off his face. "'Fraid the dragonflies aren't over there today."

A disappointed sigh. "Ah, man. Why do they always have to leave when the weather changes?"

"Self-preservation, I'd imagine..."

Blink. "What's..?"

The ninja-deer shook his head. "Don't worry about it." Sometimes he forgot to simplify his words.

Another blink. "Ok. ...think I'll go over there anyway and run around the pond..."

Now Kinsha blinked. "If you want to." There really wasn't much else he could say in response.

Spade nodded to himself, as if to confirm his plans. "Ok." He turned to to go, shouting a "Seeya, Uncle Kin!" as he ran off.

The ninja blinked again, not getting a chance to respond. He shook his head to himself, turning to start walking back to the Ruins.

Spade passed the shallow water, not stopping at seeing a green-colored doe and another fawn there. Instead, he continued running, making his way around the pond as planned. Maybe he'd stop at the Old Oak. He liked the sound it made.

[Gah. I couldn't get this to stop sooner. X.x Well, there ya go. Not just the ninja in.]

[This is the problem when I write anything like a story. XD I take forever to write something out, so something that could've been done in a few paragraphs becomes a full chapter. It's always like this!]

Spade skidded to a stop, wondering who was calling him. Turning, he spied a golden fawn running up to him. Faytha, if he remembered right.

He frowned at her question. "Training myself," he answered like it was the most obvious thing in the world. He wondered what she wanted.

The Dragonfly Deer's Biography

Serpantine rose out of the water next to the bridge. He shook the water off him. A little water was left in the bottom of his skull mask. A snowflake fell through a crack in his mask, onto his nose. Serpantine sneezed and all the water fell out, making it look like he had blown a mist of water, like how a dragon breathes fire. He laughed at the thought. He turned toward the Pond and saw his favorite green doe, Tropa. He grinned under his mask and trotted happily underneath a willow tree next to her. He stuck his head out of the leaves. "Tropa." He said in a happy and gentle tone. His light brown eyes sparkled underneath his mask.

((LOL IF you want I'll bring any other character you want to see but I thought Tropa and Serp could use some time together <3))

Serpantine chuckled softly and curled his head around her's in a sort of hug and smiled. "Oh I've been looking for warm spots lately. No luck except for the water. But don't worry. I'm here to keep you warm."

(That was a little short but AAAAAWWWWWWWW. <3)

Serpantine sat down with her, letting her lean against his warm body. "Well whenever we get cold we go lie down in the sun. We're coldblooded so we can adjust. Usually I get myself a little wet and go to the highest rock at the playground. I sit there for a while until I'm warm again and I've learned how to hold the warmth in for a good time. I think it has to do with something about being part flying serpent. But whatever. I've also been trying to figure out why the Crying Idol can keep crying without the Pond overflowing. It's always perplexed me. I've been examining that rock for days and haven't found anything. Well enough of my rambling. How have you been? Anything interesting?"

(LOL RAMBLE RAMBLE. I need to get a ref of Serp up because his real look differs from the in-game look. lol)

----------------------------------------------

((LOL KK I'LL DO IT BEFORE I GOES TO BED K? :3))

Serpantine nodded. "Yeah. This is also the warmest place around the Pond right now." He sighed contently and let the sun warm him a little more. He grinned underneath his mask. "Hmmm. I'll help you keep an eye on her if you need help."

((Sorry I went away for a while. I had dinner and homework bleh 0_o))

Tropa nodded, snuggling a little more, as if she was never comfortable. That wasn't true, she could never be happier snuggled up to him. She was just trying to get warm quicker. She decided to stop before she seemed too fidgety. After hearing his proposal, he sighed and flicked an ear. "I don't think I'll need any... She's old enough now, she should be fine as long as she's with someone..." Her stomach growled loudly, making her blush. "Besides, I don't have much energy anyway..."

***

"Oh! Fenkovan does that too. He says he wants to be brave and strong like Mama, but I don't know why he doesn't think Papa isn't strong. He doesn't train like you though, he just has races with Mama. He's always telling me I should run more, but I prefer walking. You can look at things longer when you walk..." She continued to babble for a few more minutes. When she finally stopped herself, she was surprised Spade was still listening. She giggled, "Oh, sorry! I guess I babbled again."
---

With his sensitive hearing, he could hear Tropa's stomach growling. He flicked his ears up at alert and looked down at the doe. "Do you want me to go find you something to eat? You can stay here and keep warm if you need to." He wrapped his long neck around her, again like a sort-of-hug and hoped he could keep her as warm as she needed.

(I'm working on Serp's ref. I should have it done soon (maybe tommorow) but probably not today because we're going to a circus )

----------------------------------------------

The fawn shrugged. "I guess it does. Running doesn't make me tired as fast anymore." He noticed Faytha's constant shifting in place, tilting his head at her actions. Her voice seemed faster, too. Good thing he had so much experience decoding Devi's constant chatter.

---

Kinsha had finally reached the Ruins. No one was there for once, which he was alright with. As he was still sort of searching for his uncle - though it wasn't urgent; it was more of a spur of the moment decision - he leapt from one crumbling stone wall to the next, reaching his moss-covered sleeping spot atop the Ruins. It would be much easier to see anyone coming from here.

[Can't forget Kin. ]

The Dragonfly Deer's Biography

Faytha started laughing weirdly, sort of a "daw haw haw haw". She started spinning around in circles, but after the third loop, she stopped with her back facing Spade. She quickly turned around, her face brightened considerably "Wanna go for a run??" She stood so her butt was slightly higher than her shoulders, her front legs spread out to keep her balance.

***

Tropa smiled sweetly, watching the moth flutter about. She tried catching it in her mouth a few times before it finally landed on Serpentine's shoulder. She quickly snatched it and chewed for a moment. She let out a sigh, as if it was the best thing in the world. Tropa leaned against Serpentine again, kissing him on the cheek of his mask, "Thanks so much... It was the best I've had all day." She smiled at him, her light green eyes staring up at his.

((LOL no problem, i know you have a life, unlike me XDDD *brick'd*))
---

((gah i know, thats half the reason i come here XDDD))

They sat together for a few more minutes, Tropa watched the two fawns on the other side of the bank. She looked around. The fish were still swimming around. There were no frogs or dragonflies. It was almost eery how quiet the Pond was without the constant buzzing and croaking. She looked over to the side, spotting the bridge, then followed the stream down the Crying Idol in the distance. She lifted her head off Serpentine for a moment, "Why don't we go to the Crying Idol?"

((pff yeah, i know >< after a while it all runs dry XD do you have Serps ref done yet? im just wondering, i kinda wanna get this piece done, i only have like... a day and a half left of freedom before school XD))
---

Spade stared. Now, he may be used to fast chattering - not to mention he did it himself at times - but that laughter? And the spinning? That was different. The young stag tilted his head, wondering how many blueberries she may have eaten to get so hyper. ...or if they were even ripe blueberries. He'd eaten sour berries before, and his stomach had felt weird for hours.

But then she stopped, and asked about running. Still taken aback by the random display of hyperness, he answered in an unsure tone. "Uhh...I guess...." He raised a brow at her stance, wondering what she was doing.

He had barely opened his mouth to answer when the female fawn took off. Spade blinked for a moment, before...

"Hey! Wait a sec!" He raced after her. "You got a head start!" Seeing she had gotten a good lead, he put on an extra burst of speed, glad he was used to running so much.

Strange, this competitive feeling. He'd never been challenged before.

He kinda liked it, he thought to himself as he finally caught up.

---

Hoofbeats?

Kinsha looked around, trying to find the source of that rhythm. It was more in the lightweight range, so he assumed fawn.

The ninja cocked his head.

Correction. Two fawns. Heading right this way.

He blinked.

Were they coming from the direction he'd arrived from?
He glanced back towards the direction of the Pond, where he could make out the huge form of the Old Oak in the distance. (Thank you higher vantage point..)

...and the forms of a gold fawn being caught up to by a pale fawn.

Another blink. What the heck?

Spade was running with another fawn? And...

He squinted to make out who the other fawn was...

...it wasn't Devi??

Now that right there was a shocker.
