Growing a lot more comfortable with familiar faces as time passes, and is even happy to return affections for a select few. Way more comfortable around other beings that are as smol as him, aka other kids, but language is still something that eludes him.
The winged other is here again, and again the baby became fixated specifically on his wings, to the point where baby didn't even notice the large male sneer at him. A nearby child (Mauv's lil baby) said some words that pulled attention from the winged male temporarily, but lil bro is fixed on those wings. UNTIL FINALLY, his gaze snaps away, as though dropping a toy he'd been playing with and never wanting to play with it ever again. Some conclusion in his mind had been made, and his interest in the winged male ceased to exist. Unless Draeo makes a sudden movement and then lil bro will 'possum' and player sighs at her own dumb little character.

TODAY, has been amongst the largest group of others he's ever experienced in all of his days. Seemed so overwhelmed by it that lil bro didn't 'possum' a single time. Override his instincts with too many things and his brain starts making dial up sounds. Not even the lady wolf (Madalina) shuffling closer underneath Himmel made him react.
During his factory reset, the adults all seemed to be discussing something quite serious, but words are not processing and the other small babies in the area are wayyyy more interesting to stare at. UNTIL someone large with WINGS (Draeo) grabs his attention because WINGS and keeps his attention for probably an unhealthy amount of time. There's a pit in his stomach and it's confusing. There's something familiar but also not....HMM.
With his own gut churning and mind elsewhere, he's slow to catch the tears in Arlen's eyes. But when he does see them, he again stares for a long time. Arlen's departure deepens the pit in his stomach. Something wrong is happening around him, and he doesn't like it.

Seems to have accepted his fate with the rain now, AT LEAST until he was carried over to a different part of the forest. The furthest he's ever travelled between the trees. Plopped down next to new faces and immediately possum'd. Seems to be an instinct with every new face. Maybe one day he will grow out of it...
His 'play dead' tactic soon stopped however, as someone (Laoise) was very warm?? Despite the downpour. And so his brain decided that warmth overpowered his fear and therefore this stranger is good, until they move, just don't move, just stay there, be a radiator forever.

In the middle of processing all the new faces he's sat near, was joined by Madalina and Himmel. The latter he actually returned a greeting towards!! Or maybe just mimicked it, but he didn't freak out at being touched so there's PROGRESS. Can't say the same for anyone that isn't Himmel or Arlen but, baby steps.

Has been vibing as a little hot potato, moved between Himmel and Arlen as they take turns bringing the baby home with them to take care of. Completely oblivious to any stresses this may be causing the adults. His appetite seems to be increasing, and his sleep lessening ever so slightly, as though he's gaining the strength to stay awake for longer periods of time. Still sleeps as if dead though, and waking will still only happen on his own terms.

When everyone is so big and scary with teeth but they're actually trying to help you and you just don't get it......

Has been aided (unknowingly) by Set, Dorian, Arlen and Himmel. And thanks to them, he is not starving. Initially, any attempts to get near him were met with the 'possum' tactic, of silent screaming and playing dead. He seems to have no instinct to run. Whether this is simply a fawn instinct or something different remains to be seen. But the possum tactic would lessen with those growing familiar to him, and instead he stares with an intensity that might unsettle any self conscious minds.

Has an erratic hunger when presented with milk. This was amplified when Arlen tried blood, but this ended by quickly retching it all back up. Still, seems oddly intent on trying to consume the blood again. Fruit is horrible. Too sweet? Tangy? Sugary? Not sure, but he refuses to go near it.

Sleep is near catatonic, to the sudden concern of Arlen after he risked taking the fawn to his place for the night. The fawn will not wake easily, or at all? Unless its under his own will. And then the hunger quickly follows after waking. Seems to have a loose cycle with this.

Won't freak out if picked up by those he 'knows' now. Himmel and Arlen get a pass at least. Could smell faint blood in the air at one point but was quickly plopped between some tree roots, so couldn't witness anything.

Seems really fascinated by others talking. The sound of the words, though its unclear if the fawn can understand anything. He gets fixated on anyone that's talking. More staring.

Is now in the care of Himmel. Not terribly concerned by the changes in scenery. In fact, seems to adapt a little too easily. Perhaps not even acknowledging his surroundings much. But watching Himmel do things (chores) around the hut is fascinating to watch. And human form? What's that? Two legs? Staaaaaaaaare.
