Aine cannot even, BUT she feels more comfortable around them because they are tiny. YAY.

10/2/14
Getting a little braver, but still too shy to move far from the trees. Hung out with Laz and Thorne, the human faced stag awaking some emotions in the doe, reminding her of those humans she had helped find their way in the past. it was sort of comforting. Side-eyed Thorne and finally caved and invited the two of them to sit. It's ok you have teeth and all. Use them for me, not on me ok? ok.

And sleep.

Pleasantly surprised that Draven has still been hanging around, having come around later, almost shocked that he is even staying for this long. She's just a boring old wisp...doe...thing. Met another (but idk who you are, no picto on map T_T). Truly doesn't mind him being all that close now, even perhaps shifted a bit closer when he sat down. Maybe he can help her understand this forest more, and maybe show her around. Chicken Aine is a chicken. Draven and the other deer played around a bit, and this totally happened:

[10:02:13 PM] Soli: Aine is like "how does one move like that? /jumpsandfallsonface"

Just stood and watched, legs twitching maybe in the rhythm to their movements. But then they settled by her tree, and was quite happy to sit as well. /fatandlazy? Dozed off a bit, Draven nodding off it seemed as well. The other left, and a little bit later Draven was up again.

Spending time at her trees, accompanied by Draven. Quite used to his presence now. Enjoying the sun and lounging and sleeping. Really, really loves the concept of sleep. Does it alot. (Mostly because Soli tabs way too much and does other things )

Met a doe (actually thinks she's a fawn), named Gia. Invited her to sit. Apparently prefers females, and those her size and smaller. Met Eve as well, although briefly. Didn't really get the chance to invite her to sit as she went off to sit by a tree close by. Approached by the owl deer and got sniffed. Headtilted. Not sure what they want. No response. Ended up sitting again. Kinda watching Gia because she's so tiny.

As soon as waking and getting her pelt, was surrounded by deer (Draven, Thorne, Laz and Bell). Queue lots of heavy breathing and omg mental spam. Lots of nodding an skirting around others. Felt better when a similarly sized female was among them, but not comfortable enough to sit down. Laz and Thorne moved off aways, then moved to her tree to finally sit. Joined by Draven. Pretty used to his presence now, and silently grateful for the quiet company.

Mostly just dozing by her tree with Draven on the other side. Fell asleep there because player has a wicked headache x.x

9/27/14
Lots of sleeping because player was doing other things.
Awoke to being a sandwich between Draven at the tree from the yesterday, and a new fellow (Thorne), next to her other tree. Please do not eat me! Kinda squished herself against the tree and managed to turn and was like "ohainoeatplz" at the other male. Very aware of Draven nearby, often looked around the tree to see if he was still there, Thorn facing her and seemingly eyeing her up. No Aine sammich! /wheeze

Sorta just stayed against her tree hoping to the gods that she would survive this day and missing her old body more and more.

Thorne and Draven seemed to keep an eye on her, heavens knows why. (She doesn't feel the rut just yet). In and out of naps (helping friends as per usual), then approached by yet another stag (Aurik).

[4:22:33 PM] Soli: Aine's eyes are probably as big as moons shes like "SO. MUCH. TESTOSTERONE"

Stood or sat by her tree, ignoring the fact others were rubbing against it. It's not really her tree after all so hardly possessive of it; considers it a home though. Stayed near the tree keeping an eye on the three males who seemed to be keeping an eye on her. Maybe this is what Peppino meant that she was 'beautiful'. Kind of lost in this concept still, but starting to accept this possibility of attraction.

Wary as Aurik continues to approach, sniff and bolt. Finds the actions curious albeit a bit scary. Took note that Draven did not seem to approve of such antics and did well to chase after the other stag. Even Thorne seemed to approve of the other male chasing down Aurik.

Felt a bit more at ease seeing as she had two stag who, as it appeared, seemed to be protecting her. Sorta flattered and a bit flustered from the whole thing. Didn't say so but thought about it, definitely.

Then suddenly dozed off (had to take care of stinkbug problem), came back and everything was cool. Then player tabbed out to update something and tabbed in to suddenly a deer standing over her. All of the wide eyes and darted out like a bat out of hell. Circled around her other tree huffing. Then the same deer started circling around quickly and just lost it. Bolted away from the trees and hid behind a stump. Thorne seemed to check to see if she was alright. Still iffy about them teefs but nodded and breathed a thank you. Draven still stuck around and appeared to be a bit annoyed at the nuisance who suddenly vanished. Went back to cling to the tree because it is life.

Note: There is also another deer here acting rutty but not sure who they are ;; Sorry.

Apparently rutting males are uber scurry.

Aine did not like when Draven and Aurik started going at it, mainly because Aurik is a little shit and sniffing booties 8| Did kinda get riled up and ran around when Aur was bootie sniffing and Draven was noping and player can't breathe because its too fricken funny to watch and play such a sissy character like Aine. Then a little gold doe (Ouro) came over and Aur kinda got more riled up. Figuring maybe they are together? Draven still seemed intent on staying with Aine /honored. The little doe came over and felt more comfortable with the smaller one. Sniffed and nodded and Aurik noped so Aine noped and ran off like a SISSEH OMG AINE WHY.

Braved up when Aurik came bouncing over like a derp, sniffed and then rubbed his face all over her:

[7:34:46 PM] Soli: oh my god Ems
[7:34:52 PM] Soli: Aurik looked like
[7:34:55 PM] Soli: Pepi-la-pew
[7:35:01 PM] Soli: bouncing over here
[7:35:06 PM] Soli: and then trying to stick his ass in her face
[7:35:11 PM] Emseh: LMFAOO
[7:35:11 PM] Soli: because literally he kept doing that
[7:35:25 PM] Soli: And then marking her she's like "WHOA"

Feeling pretty good about Draven now that she thinks about it. He didn't go all crazy when Aurik came over to stir up trouble, which she was pretty thankful for because /scardypants.

Aurik left a bit later bouncing in the distance and causing Aine's player to have breathing problems because it was so fucking funny I'm sorry these updates are terrible. Draven sorta lead Aine back to her trees, further thankful that he was still staying close to her. Maybe he knew she was having these fainting spells? Really didn't mind how close he had gotten at all. Witnessed alot of bromance behind her between Thorne and Laz. Kinda smiled to herself remembering her own family, though at the same time not...who was her family? Didn't dwell on it however.

Spent most days recovering, and finally felt better today.
Decided to wander after going to the water to get a drink. Explored most of this looping world, but knew she certainly must have missed places. Avoided most beings, giving them wide berths as she passed them. Not that she wasn't interested in interaction but that she still felt incredibly skittish. Managed to get under the crying rock without a panic attack; certainly got as scary as the pond. Returned to her trees for a nap and some deer-watching.

Got up at some point to get another drink. Felt a little braver and tried to withstand being in the water. But was scared off by a stag coming to sniff her than bolting (Draven). Uh okay just gonna back up slowly...and run. Fled to her trees which were literally still a few yards away but totally safer; Aine logic.

Sat there for a while before Draven approached again. Really starting to cause some heart attacks with the sniffing and fleeing. Was she about to become a meal? Kinda rooted to the spot but finally it seemed like the male was just as curious as she was. Managed to approach and get a sniff in and a bow. Okay that went well. Breathing became easier when the male sat, so circled her tree and sat next to it before watching him, trying to understand him, and herself.

Passed out (friend needed something), came to to find Draven gone. Partially sad, partially relieved. Got up to get a drink, circled back to her trees then wandered a few feet away. Restless. Wandered off again in a need to entertain herself. Weaved through trees, finding this body not as mobile as her spirit once was. Found a tree with mushrooms on it. Knew they were edible and sensed magic emanating from them. Took a nibble but quickly spat it out. Yuck. Hardly tasty. Found a patch of flowers nearby swarming with butterflies. Gingerly picked her way through, solemnly watching them as she remembered the ability to float about.

Found a giant tree, likely the biggest one in the entire forest. Too entranced to be bothered with the others nearby. Took a look around and within it. Quite impressed, sensing it was incredibly old. Walked around it and trotted through the forest, paying little attention to any others and mostly looking around her. Found a large patch of poppies. Picked her way through these curiously before approaching the ruins. Noticed some deer there but felt it best to keep to herself. Found some off statues there. Nothing that she has seen before but...perhaps similar.

Within the ruins, found an odd cage. Nothing seemed particularly special about it. Walked around and found graves. Felt oddly saddened. Noticed a scuffle going on nearby, two white stag attacking a black and white...horse (Acaji)? Unsure what it was, but bolted behind a tree. It looked like the white stags were attacking some youth (Gia and Ini) and he black was helping? A wolf-like creature (Soet) came to help as well as a white-ish doe (Eve)?

Everything seemed to be alright.

Then the black and white came near. Hid behind the tree. Didn't seem he noticed her. Unsure what was going on but stayed hiding there.

Eventually ran off back to her trees and curled up at the trunk of her usual one. Probably going to lay low a bit.

9/18/14
More periods of fleeting consciousness. Body has not come to grips with it's transformation nor the separation of body and soul despite the closeness between the two. Prone to just laying curled up against one of the two trees she had settled on being her residence. During one of these unconscious periods, an odd being sat near her. Awakened and sensed his presence, turning to face him though feeling skittish. Contemplated running but was far too tired to move much. Settled that she could deal with the situation provided the other did not suddenly get aggressive. Regardless took comfort in the fact she had true company, and not passers by.

9/16/14
Entered the forest through the pond as a bright yellow light. Form was magicked into a deer and soul took root in a lantern on the curled end of the longest horn. Absolutely confused how she got here, and feeling very skittish over these new surroundings. Located a set of trees near the pond and curled up next to one. Passed out there for a period of time to regain energy after the transformation.

Woke up a little later and got brave enough to investigate a deer sleeping close by (Krummavisur). Shied away very soon after in fear it would wake up. Stood by the trees, contemplating using them as a place she could call home. Hardly feels protective over it, but rather comforted by them.

Was approached by a rather large deer that resembled a feline of sorts (Umay). Felt quite nervous but seeing as the creature did not seem to exhibit any aggression, was more than happy to exchange sniffs and even bows. Did relax a bit when the feline-doe left, and laid down next to the tree again.
