The grey stag had led his friend here, but instead of relaxing and enjoying the sun/rain/whatever, he fixed his eyes on D. The buck stared at him absent-mindedly, with an almost bewildered look. Something was not right and stuff meh

Not a blink. The grey buck /stared/ at him, bewildered, confusing thoughts drifting in his head. He couldn't make any sense of them. He tried to concentrate, but everything around him was fuzzy, melting into soft, blurry blobs of colour, sounds of the forest mixing into noise. His mind was spinning fast, thoughts escaping from his grip like sand. Yet Mozart's eyes were fixed on Dusk. Like frozen, the buck didn't move.

Mozart slowly turned his head away again blah blah blah

I met him a long time ago.
-pause-
He was very patient with me and put up with my silly behaviour.
He had always been very calm and quiet. Not aggressive or controlling; I appreciated that.
And he was there, keeping me company, even when everyone I knew started disappearing.
-pause-
I don't know where they went, they left without telling anything.
Soon a stag whose company I often seeked slowly started moving away from me, too; he had many friends and a big family.
They were more important to him, they needed his protection and friendship more than I did.
-he sighed-
His life was busy and dramatic enough without me. I felt like I was nothing but a bother to him.
-the silver deer shook his head. He did not want to hold a grudge upon that stag, but his frustration was still obvious-
...A doe too. We were good friends when I first arrived in this forest. I loved her.
But her visits (all of a sudden?) became very rare. I waited for her anyway. I waited for days, months...
-he trailed off-
She didn't return, and I gave up hope.
-pause-
I... I felt alone.
-he stuttered and went quiet again-
But he still kept me company. He was around when I wanted to give up everything.
His sole presence was enough to lift me up, and pull myself together again.
(-short pause-?)
He probably doesn't know how much it meant to me.
-pause, a weak smile appeared on his face, but it quickly vanished again as he continued, lost in thought-
From that moment...
From that moment I started spending much more time with him.
-pause-
I have grown very dependant on him since then.
-pause-
And since we first met...
-pause-
...he has become much more than just a friend to me.
-pause-
But he is a stag after all.
I doubt he...
-he trailed off again-
