First off, I had a good time playing with everyone tonight! Thanks!

Shortly after I woke up, I came upon Kaoori sleeping alone in the rain. Feeling protective, I sat close to her to keep her warm in the cold, rainy night.

Redkora/I was musing about how young Kaoori (and many of the other deer) is compared to him, hence the feeling of protectiveness. He has been around a long time, and he has seen many changes come to pass.

...but the Forest always is.
