((splits off at the end, not sure what Wesker did, so I guessed. Kaoori's request for the Wesker Vilin' fight))

-x-x-x-

A strike of hooves, inches from his muzzle, he can very well feel it on his fur.
Where is sad?

where is Kaoori?

He doesn't want her in this fight anyway.

Is she injured badly? is Amazon all right? he'll make this stag sorry he decided to interfere with his family

Strike back strike back!
The other is so fast...

It doesn't seem like any beast should be so fast.

The dirt is torn as he moves back, a flash of hooves and blood, and he pauses to pick up fallen hearts, he can hear them, hear them crying, begging him to stopstopstop.

But he cannot, he gave up back then, he will not do it again.

It is strange how other deer assume he is some uncontrolled beast who is merely out to steal hearts from the chests of innocent deer.

Antlers in his shoulder.

He takes the chance to flash out with dagger-like hooves, feeling himself land a strike, heaving for breath as they circle once more.

How long can the other go?

Ears tick, listening to the larger stag's heartbeat.
And he shudders, so even, his own heart is sputtering weakly in his tines.

Shouldn't have stopped, an aim for his hearts.

Turn, turn! he rears, bringing the hit to his stomach.

And maybe such a blow would have killed most deer, he loses a lung, but that isn't important, that will grow back if torn to shreds, he does not need it.

His own hooves come down upon the red eye'd stags back.

Pauses there, panting, he can here the other trying to tug his antlers loose.

He digs his own hooves deeper, but he knows...
he lost before it even began

He doesn't even realize the other has freed himself until he hits the ground, scrambling up again.

A monster...
they have not seen him tend to Sad's wounds after running through brush and stones to escape their jeers, nor have they seen his peace when he is at rest.

They never knew him as a human, how he sat awake for days at his husband's bedside when he was ill, never saw him as he played with his children, how could they?

But then...

He has never seen Wesker at ease by Kaoori's side, and he has never seen Kaoori tend to Amazon, doting as if she were really her mother.

He trips over his own liver, he hadn't even known he had lost it...he'll put it back later.

Another charge.

He rears again.

He can see the confusion in the other's ruby eyes, the silent question.

why do you not take my antlers in yours?

A silent answer is given, one the other stag likely does not even catch.

These hearts are mine to guard

He can smell Kaoori, she's watching, worried for her mate no doubt.

Amazon is nearby too.

you can stop this, little fawn, why do you not make it stop?

He gives another lash of his hooves.

Separate.

His head raises, scenting the air.

He does not even glance at the dark stag again before running.

He can smell his ribcage

-Vilnius-

The bloodloss really hits him by the time he makes it back to her, watching her stand in worry, moving to tend his wounds.

The stag's head shakes, moving to clean hers first.

"...are you..hurt badly?"

The doe's eyes widen.
"no...you...your stomach is..."

"hanging open...?....it will heal"

He'll be throwing up blood for weeks.

his body curls, listening to the worried cries of hearts in his tines, a puddle forms under him, increasing with each breath from his open belly.

His face is unharmed oddly enough.

He can feel her lay next to him, can't see it, his eyes are closed.

Po mažyt?s pagalv?le, Sald? miegel?. Kad katel? nepajust?, Mažyt?l? nepabust?, Saldžiai miegot?. Pelel, pelel, nešk miegel? Kaip bitel? medut?l?, Sald? miegel?.

He know she cannot understand the song.
His husband never could either, that soft lithuanan lullaby.
But he sung it when he was sick
Sings it when she is hurt
All the same.

-Wesker

He had run...why had the blood covered stag run?
He had heard no call...

A coward.

But maybe not.

His blows had all come from above.
So much damage he had done to his belly, would the Hart die?

He paid no mind to the matter, turning to the beautiful blue doe not far away.

She chittered worried things in japanese, things he did not understand, but he let her do it anyway.

Nearby he could see Amazon, such an odd expression she wore...
probably just frightened, there was no way anyone could pity the monster he had just fought with.

He rolled his shoulders, fighting back a limp, no need to worry Kaoori or Amazon.

His red eyes softened.
He had to take care of his family.
