Rou's Training

The weather was perfect, the sky was clear and the sun was shining down through the trees. Rou stopped on the giant rock overlooking a specific area ahead of her. "What're we doing today, Farron?'" She asked, her voice strong, timid and confident. The young doe looked back at the buck, who approached the edge of the rock more slowly, though his eyes sparkled through the skull mask he wore, the sun glittering off of his fleshy, crimson red antlers and catching off the odd zombie pelt he wore.
"Well, my young friend," he began, looking down at her. Rou knew he was smiling wide as he stood beside her. "Today is the day I teach you to look, listen and smell what is all around you. These are important skills for when you become an adult. They will help you track and find deer you know more easily than if you were to just listen."

Rou gave an excited bounce before she settled herself at Farron's side. She couldn't wait until she became an adult, though she enjoyed being a fawn. Calming herself down, the young doe watched Farron and copied him exactly, her ears alert as she strained to listen. It seemed like, now that she was focusing on one thing, all the sounds of the forest flooded into her ears. She was able to single out several sounds, like the birds singing high in the trees and the faint rustle of the leaves above her head. After what seemed like forever, Rou blinked and looked up at the buck. "I don't feel anything." She said, her voice sounding rather disappointed. Farron stayed silent for a moment longer before he lifted his head a little higher than it currently was.
"Deer playing near the ruins." He said, his voice strong and steady. Rou gave him a confused look as she glanced toward the ruins.
"How do you know?" She asked simply, looking back up at him.

Farron gave a shrug as he allowed his foreleg to drop from its raised position. "I can hear them, and feel them playing in my hooves. Their hooves gliding over the ground sends vibrations to the bottom of every forest deer's hooves. Only a few of the deer in this forest can learn to hear others through their hooves and those vibrations." Farron explained, lowering his head so that he was looking at her. Rou felt excitement rising in her chest as she got into position once more, lifting a single foreleg off the ground while her ears stood erect. She was determined to make Farron proud of her by learning what he knew. However hard she tried, she just couldn't seem to grasp what he had said. Frustrated, Rou lowered her foreleg and shook her head.
"I can't seem to grasp it!" She huffed, turning her head up to look at the buck. Farron only laughed and looked down at her, his head just beside hers.
"You'll get it one day, Rou. Just keep practicing with and without my guidence and you'll get it." Farron was right, Rou thought.
All I gotta do is practice. And she would do so every day until she understood.

I'd like to say, can you not

I'd like to say, can you not call Kloyn "colon" anymore? I don't really like it too much. ):

Calling her "Colon" would be

Calling her "Colon" would be taking her name and actually saying: "Hey, Colon." instead of "Kloyn." that's what i heard when i listened to the prononciation. I'm sorry if it seems like i'm calling her that :/

I know you're not calling her

I know you're not calling her "Colon" (I should've worded it differently), it's just the comparison to "colon" I don't like. It just kinda feels like saying it is "teasing" her.

I accept your apology. Smiling

No hard feelings? ): I see

No hard feelings? ):

I see what you mean, the computer does make it sound like "colon". xD! She's just saying it weird, it's more like "clone".
