New to the woods (for Mercia and Kard)

TwigTwig's picture
Kard picked his way through the tall grass as he wandered out for the first time into the woods that were so much different than his small valley that had played refuge to him for most of his fawn and young stag life. Every now and then he would duck down at the sound of some odd deer call and look around unsure what to when he heard a loud call more or less pick up on an odd scent. With his dark eyes showing behind the mask that his mother had placed on him before hand he felt a little safer with it on though it didn't stop the constant need of surveillance as he moved along.

Lifting his long black stocking legs he made sure to set them down soundlessly as he didn't want to bring attention to himself as he slowly explored the woods. Though the moment that he heard hoof beats coming near him he quickly dropped to the ground and curled up in hopes that the runner was going to ignore him or at least lead any danger away from him.

Mercia was running around,

Mercia was running around, hopping over logs and rocks in her path. The breeze was flowing through her dark hair and the poppies on her antlers were swaying from side to side, still holding on to her antlers. Her brown eyes were shining in the sunlight as she ran, her mask glistened with little droplets of dew from her hitting branches. She seen a stag about her age ahead of her, he looked new to the forest, he looked nervous also. Once she got closer to him, he dropped down and curled up. She slid to a stop in front of him. "Hey! Would you like to play tag?" She flicked her ears up towards him.

Kard's heart was beating

Kard's heart was beating quickly as he hoped that the runner would simply pass him up but instead the runner stopped right ahead of him and spoke to him. Yet as much as he hoped that remaining still would of made her go away he cocked his head to the side and perked his ears up some as he gave her a confused look. He hadn't heard anyone make such sounds in such a long time that it was almost alien to him. Slowly he lifted his head and while his dark eyes under his mask were locked onto her own mask he gave a wary sniff as he wasn't sure what to make of the doe who stood in front of him. She didn't seem to want to hurt him and slowly he started to stand up only to be a tad bit shorter than her when he managed to stand up fully. He took a glance around before he looked at her and made call that was almost bird like though was a bit nervous sounding.

Mercia watcted the buck get up, he looked confused and nervous. He made a call that sounded like a bird, she tilted her head to the side wondering if he could speak english. "Oh don't you talk?" She walked up closer to him and looked at him through the holes in his mask.

Kard was getting a bit

Kard was getting a bit nervous and lowered his head slightly as he looked at the doe who was in front of him. He still wasn't sure what to do with her being so close to him, and it didn't help when she came up close to him and looked directly at him. Giving a small almost chirp like cry he tilted his head to the side as if he was questioning her question. He moved around nervously before he noticed the poppies in her horns and stood up a bit straighter to get a better look at them not too sure how she got them there.

"Oh I see. Don't worry! I

"Oh I see. Don't worry! I won't hurt you. I like your mask." Mercia giggled and looked up to see the tips of her antlers. "Oh your looking at my antlers. I got these poppies from a poppy patch not to far from here." She smiled and took a step back thinking she was in his personal space.

Kard leaned forward a little

Kard leaned forward a little bit taking a few sniff here and there as he looked at the flowers. He was ignoring the other's words but he was more interested in the flowers in her antlers. Though when she backed up he cocked his head to the side and soon gave a small hop over to get closer to her as he wanted to check out the flowers some more. But before he could get too close another deer called out and quickly Kard's ears perked up and he went to dart behind Merica attempting to hide behind her.

Mercia took some notice after seeing the buck look more interested in her flowers. She got startled when he hopped behind her when a deer called. "Hey don't worry, that's another deer. You will hear their calls a lot." She turned her head around to look at him. "Hey, would you want to go to a poppy patch where you can see more of these flowers?" Mercia smiled at him, wondering if he would like to or not.

Kard slowly peaked out from behind the other and looked up at her unsure as his ears moved forward before they lowered down still unsure what she was saying. He cocked his head to the side only to look around unsure before looking back up at her through his mask. Giving only a small chirp he gave a small smile as he felt a bit safer around Marcia.

Mercia giggled. "I guess it's a yes then? Alright, follow me!" She leaped and started to trot to the poppy patch where she got her poppies for her antlers. They went through the woods, then out to a clearing with the Crying Idol statue. It was surrounded by poppies.

Kard blinked a bit confused as the doe before him took off leaping and soon cocked his head for a moment before he leaped after her before running after her once again. Leaping and running after her he made sure to stay close and soon came to a sliding stop when he spotted not only the poppies but also the Crying Idol. Looking at her with his ears perked up he waited a bit before he took off leaping into the flowers and rolled around before popping up with a broken flower on his head.

Kard chirped and shoke the flower from his head as he went to roll around a bit more but before he knew it he popped back up and this time his mask fell off dropping to the ground. At first he didn't notice what had just happened and he went on playing as his mask remained on the ground until he finally stopped and noticed what happened. Standing up fully he looked around unsure in the patch of poppies and frowned as his dark eyes looked around unsure. His face was young looking still but he still had a look of nervousness as he looked around for his mask.

Mercia was still rolling

Mercia was still rolling around laughing when she noticed the buck stand up worried. He didn't have his mask on, he looked cute to Mercia, she sort of blushed and stood up. "Oh crap your mask fell off. I will help you look for it!" She started to prance around the spot where the buck was, then she found it. "Oh here it is!" She said with a big smile on her face.

Kard was starting to freak

Kard was starting to freak out on the fact that he didn't have his mask and hopped around worried and searching. Sticking his head in the flowers he tried to look for it but so far found nothing only to look up when Mercia said something. Though by the way she seemed to be happy he went over to her only to smile and tried to get the mask back on once again.

Kard struggled to get his mask back on but when Mercia spoke again he looked at her confused and not too sure what she was saying. But something sounded a bit familiar to him. He looked at her, his ears perked and his head slightly cocked, trying to think of what she had meant. But he was starting to struggle with the words and soon he gave up and went back to trying to get his mask on. He guessed that he knew something, a word had been popping up in his head ever since she spoke to him, though to him it had lost it's meaning. Maybe if he said that word she would be happy? Giving a huff he pouted and sat down as his mask was still on the ground. "Kkkk" he started to say though he got stuck with making the sound.
