Thanks TheLimitlessNight. At this point I’m not sure which part actually made the round boxes, I’m no CSS pro, but I’d be happy to share the code so you could play with it. I could email it to you?

Thanks! I just commented on Arcane's bio. Is that him in your signature? He's a handsome stag.

Thank you so much for introducing yourself, I was trying to figure out who that guy was but of course the map was not being helpful at all. I love caribou, it’s great to see more of them in the forest.

Haha, Herla is a very diminutive doe. Peanut seems so sweet! How sad that he is a mute.

Ah, so this is the mini doe that is standing beside Lothair ^^

Tracking <3

Kaoori was extremely unsure of her. She knows she's a flirt, so when she saw her near her mate, she tried not to be rude but also wondered what exactly she was up to. xD

It's interesting to see them interact- Kaoori's not a mean doe in any way but if she feels threatened enough she could be. xD

Kaoori: Herla would never attack another doe, she’s too fragile and petite for that. But she’s a schemer. When she saw Whesker on his own, she moved in on him, then Kaoori came back and she was all, “Oh, what? Hey how’s it going there. Yup.” All innocent and sweet. Haha!

Faustt: She’s on any big stag like a magnet, flirting and ingratiating. She loves it when they give her attention. It comes down to being insecure though. And wanting to secure the strongest protector she can.

That's precisely what Lothair does, he protects and watches out for others. It's a huge natural drive for him; the weaker and more vulnerable one is, or appears to be, the more intensely he will guard them. I suppose that kind of behavior only encourages Herla xD

(( No problem, Herla has been shamelessly flirting with bucks all evening. I was looking away from my screen though and when I looked back, Caine was next to Herla with his antlers lowered so I had her cringe and hide behind a tree in reaction. (And go Liam! ) ))

Track ^^ she is very lovely.

(Aw that's such a cute screeny! XDD He's so pissed at that yellow leaf. WHAT YOU LOOKING AT, LEAF.
Do rather have me reply here? <33)

((brb, a fawn cast a pelt spell on me. skhjofjoe. The bothers of playing a mini, doh!))

((So what are good, in character reasons for Herla to suddenly jump up, run the drinkplatts then worship at the twin Gods? Hmmm...maybe a pelt spell is like throwing mud on her, and being the fastidious thing that she is, she has to immediately go wash off at the drinkplatts and...pray? To get clean again? ROTFL, I don't know.))

Herla shivered and sneezed again. She ducked again in embarrassment. But she gratefully snuggled into the large stag’s neck that he so kindly offered. His body heat radiated through his thick fur, even though it was still slightly damp. He was shivering slightly as well. She tenderly groomed at his shoulder, listening to the rain pouring down around them. “The sound is soothing though…” she murmured as she nibbled up his neck.

Several more deer had joined them in the tight shelter. She eyed a doe that was sitting close by, a little jealously. But when Gehirn started to groom her feather crown, she forgot everything and just leaned into the touch, sighing.

((Be back in a few!))

(Alright! We'll look out for Herla XD)

By now he had figured she enjoyed his grooming, and he enjoyed the returned attention. It felt good to get a response like hers at his actions. He had welcomed the other, gray coloured doe to his side, worrying about her health. And well, he was warmer if both sides had another deer close."I hope you have been doing well dear?" He asked, pausing from his grooming for a moment. "Apologies for not asking earlier. Fleeing from this rain preoccupied my thoughts for a moment."

(Oh no worries! XD I am in no rush!)

The stag nipped at some tufts of fur below her jawline as she raised her head for him. "Your heart was sad? Aw!" The stag chuckled. "My, aren't you sweet? Ofcourse I missed you too though, I am glad to see you well today. Oh, you will be dry again before you know it. But don't worry, you're quite beautifull with your feathers down as well." He grinned. There was a bit of a teasing tone in his voice. Perhaps he was dragging this on too far without mentioning him having a mate. Now, he was known for being a cheater, but he wouldn't make the same mistakes as he had done in the past. He was glad to take care of someone whom seemed to be happy to be with him, even if her intentions seemed different from his own. Gehirn enjoyed playing this game. It made him feel as if he "still had it." The gift of charming the ladies.

"Ofcourse. It isn't very common that a doe like yourself would like to be in my company." He smiled a sweet smile at her. "Shouldn't you be darting around the young bucks, hm? Oh, a drowned bunny?" He laughed quietly. "No such, you worry too much. Not many does pull the 'wet look' off like you do." Gehirn gave her a slight nudge with the tip of his nose, against her cheek. "Thank you for the compliment, dear. I am glad you think so." The irish stretched his neck soon after, shaking his head in almost slow-motion, antlers slowing him down. He was somewhat on an alert, looking out for someone in the rain.

(*Hugs Herla* 8( )

"Hm, is that so?" His tone actually slightly ticked off. "If they ever hurt you, do remember you can come to me for help." The stag stated, quite the seriousness to his tone. Though when she hid her face in his neck, he softened up again. What was that about this doe. "I would not hope so. I will be carefull. It would be horrible if I happend to accidentally bump too roughly into you, such a fragile doe." He sighed. It was a few moments later that the stag's ears lifted violently at a moo from behind them. He got up but, it seemed the figure had already retreated back into the darkness of the rain. The irish called after them.
It took him a bit to realize Herla had come to his side, and seemed fearfull of his sudden outburst. He turned his head at her. "Oh, nonono, I am sorry, let's go back to the shelter alright?" Fearfull she'd be all wet again before he could explain what just startled him.

"Ah, my most sincere apologies.. You shouldn't have followed me, silly. I was calling after a stubborn stag who dared to call me too weak for his little world." Was the most vague, but accurate description he could give. Virgil had broken his pride and he was not happy about it. Poor doe though. Now she was all wet again. The stag started drying off her face inbetween her sneezes, using his rough tongue to, as good as he could, dry off the water drops. "You shouldn't catch a cold dear.."

"A fool, my dear. He knows this, which is why he ran." He stated. Something rather.. Angry in his eyes. A glare that could kill, so to say. Though it was not directed at Herla, nor at anyone in vision. Though he couldn't help a small chuckle at her next statement. "Perhaps you should.. But his kind isn't known for being the most intelligent." Now he was getting plain mean. "Ah, not to worry.." The stag looked at the sneezing, small doe. "You don't seem to feel quite alright hm?.. You should take some rest, I won't stirr again."

(Haha but I will.. Silly Gehirn. It's time for bed, unfortunately. So yeah! Seems Gehirn still hasn't said anything to break Herla's heart, aw. Yet. And this rain is somehow lagging me slightly.. Haha but we'll see how long it keeps up.
See you next time!)

I like this <3
she's alot like my new charactor, only much nicer lol

(Replying to yesterdays rp! Somewhat, haha. But I couldn't leave that unreplied..)

The stag quickly noticed her getting nervous about his question. "Oh, I am sorry for asking, really.. Perhaps I should not have, hm?" He tried to calm her down slightly by grooming her neckfur a little. "How they leave? I've heard many stories.. I've left myself, as well. My mate does not come from this forest, she's a traveller. So, at some point, when this forest stressed me out untill I could take it no longer, we left for a while. She showed me the way back then.. It's the spots you normally never pay attention to that have those ability's." He let out a breath. "This place is a bit creepy, sometimes. The fact that you keep walking in circles.." Apparantly he hadn't even noticed he had mentioned his mate. Nor had he forseen how Herla would respond to such. "But atleast it's.. Quite safe at times, right?"

Gehirn had sensed her tensing up slightly, and immediatly wondered about the reason. Did he hit a sore spot? Checking her fur, it didn't seem so. It took him her words before he understood what he had been saying. Well, it had to get out sometime. Perhaps this had been far too late. "Most of the time, yes. But she likes to travel at times as well." He smiled a little, but it seemed to be tenser. "Are you alright?" He asked. "I didn't mean to upset you.."

(Haha! Alright XDD That's fine! We'll see you around sometimes! Goodbye!)

((Saanra, Herla found your stag quite handsome and had to come sit by him. She rather makes herself at home quickly. Though she has had some ill behaved stags attack her recently so she is a bit more wary approaching now.))

((Benezet is a cute little guy, he's been guarding Herla all evening. ))

Misako: Herla clenched her jaw, the painful feeling in her chest slowly burning a hole through her heart. “Oh. I see.” she said quietly. She had been naive, she had always prided herself on using stags and not allowing any real emotional attachment so she would never be hurt like this. But she had allowed herself to truly care for Gehirn. She had been so worried when she’d found him injured. Had her feelings for him really changed at all? No. She still cared for him. She looked up at him, not knowing what to say.

"I am...fine." she said out of habit and not out of truth.
