Fulu smiled as Kailani came over to her, and giggled when sprayed with water. She lifted her head from the dandilions and kissed her on the head. "Maybe we should..."

"Aunt Fulu! Aunt Fulu!" A young doe trotted up to them, a friendly smile spread across her face.

"Afternoon, Faytha." She paused to look her over. "You've grown quite a bit since I last saw you!"

Faytha giggled and blushed slightly, turning her head to her smaller cousin. "Hi Kailani! Wanna do somethin?" Her little tail wagged in joy, aware that her father was not too far behind her, but far enough to let her have her independence.

Cerelia glanced over to the Pond banks, scanning the area. Two unknown deer (Fulu and Faytha) and Kailani, whom she had met the other day. She flicked an ear, turning her orange face a little, her odd eyes widening at what she found. That familiar decorated stag, sitting on the highest banks, watching his little one from afar. She let out a smile. Mercutio noticed, but took no heed to it, closing his eyes again to keep warm in the sunbeam.

[Gah I'm sorry Raku...this is my second RPG Blog appology XD I do want to RP Kailani but these past few days have been busy and muse draining. I've been trying to spend extra time with my puppy because she's just not getting this house training stuff @_@ And of course getting ready for Christmas. SO hopefully I will reply to this as some point tomarrow night or the day after XD Or we can start a new one? SORRIES!!!]

Kailani lowered her head to sniff curiously at the plant her mother was eating, enjoying the smell of the yellow flowers but not quite able to imagine eating it. She was beginning to nibble things here and there, but not quite ready to give up nourishment from her mother. Pulling back, she accepted to kiss with a little squirm. The sound of hoof beats was the only thing interesting enough to keep her still a moment. She looked up eagerly, one ear fully pricked while the other lay lopsided as her green eyes focused on her cousin. A big smile appeared on her face, and the stillness was lost as she began to dance on tiny hooves in anticipation of play before she was even addressed.
“Fayfa! Yes yes yes yes!” she greeted and answered eagerly once the question was asked. She lept around the young doe before coming to a stop in front of her, raising her hind end slightly higher than her front, tail flicking to-and-fro as she gazed up at her cousin curiously, waiting for ideas.

[BUMP NOW! XD And change the title to something reccognizable for RP! XDD]

A look of slight indigence flickered into her gazt at being called little, ears twitching back as she hesitantly accepted the nuzzle. Though obviously being little was all she knew, the deer she was most often drawn to were large and impressive. Would she ever be? Standing straight again, she gazed at her pondering cousin in silence, shaking off the last of the ‘insult’ before allowing her ear and tail to raise to her growing excitement again. Kailani didn’t often get to play with other youngsters, and while Faytha wasn’t the ideal size or age, she was welcome company.
“Um….ok! she agreed, glancing at Fulu with question in her eyes. She didn’t wait for the go ahead, however, following quickly after Faytha as she moved off to find the colorful winged insects.

Oh aye? Why don't you go play with Kailani and Faytha?

Vipin stared down at resilient little Devi, who looked, now, like a mirror image of her mother. Her sallow grey eyes were deep set inside her skull, but still bright, and her little beluga antlers were already sharpening into fine obsidian things. The magpie stag seemed to be pleading with her, his own blue-grey eyes wide. Devi shook her head stubbornly, seating herself next to her uncle and another peacock doe who was studying them like one would study a very interesting object. I don't know 'em. Uncle Vipinnn, please play with me? Or Aunt Xy? She stared at her older relatives hopefully, but to her dismay Xylia laughed and ruffled the young doe's head with her hoof. Not right now... Dear, but I'm sure once... My fawn is born... He'll love to play with you. Devi frowned, her skull creasing, and she shrugged and stormed off, leaving her relatives to get much-needed sleep.

The little blue and white girl pranced through the purple flowers, the wind from butterfly wings kissing her cheeks and making her giggle. Surprisingly though the fawn seemed much more subdued now, eyeing her cousin who bound about like she normally would. There was something strange about that. Many of the fawns Kailani had met so far had not seemed to have liked her…and those who agreed to play were quite mild in their behavior, leaving her to be the loud and outlandish one in the game. Having another with the same energy made her feel strange, and the spotlight was suddenly shifted away from her to the butterfly-nipping young doe. With a look of determination she bit her lip and leapt into the air, trying to jump higher, blowing air up into the insect’s fragile wings and causing them to flutter off course.

Faytha’s sudden shouting startled her. She landed wrong and fell over into the bed of flowers before immediately poking her head up and gazing in the direction of the fawn not too far off. Devi? She didn’t know anyone by that name. She carefully wobbled back to her feet and shook off, tilting her head towards the newcomer.

Faytha whirled around before she got an answer from Devi to look at her cousin, "Oh migosh! Are you okay?" It seemed like she forgot that she fell over herself not too long before. She smiled seeing that Kailani was okay, and looked back over to Devi, only to find another, dark fawn. She knew him from somewhere, but couldn't remember. She lowered her head to meet Kailani's, "Hey, isn't that your friend? What's his name... ummm..."

WHAM!

He rammed his small kirin antlers into the stump, ignoring the ringing that went through his skull from the resounding force. If anyone passing by had asked what he was doing, he'd answer "training". He saw how strong his parents were. He wanted to be strong, too. Thus, he trained himself often. The stump was already covered with marks, proof that the young stag had done this many times before. Soon, he'd switch to sprinting, before taking a break at the pond.

[ Yep. Spade "attacks" a stump to train himself. My mind is a little dead right now, so it's hard to think of something good to type, but he needs to be in here. XD Notice him now if you want; I'll continue with him later.]

"Uio! That's it!" She saw Kailani stop halfway between them. Faytha winked at her, which must have let her know to go after him. In truth, she had never met Uio before, but she had heard of him from either Kailani or Fulu, she didn't remember who. Seeing Kailani bound after Uio made her want to go after him as well, but before taking off she looked to Devi. "Come on, Devi! Let's go see Uio!" Without waiting for an answer she hopped back down to the shore, paying no heed to any shy feeling whatsoever. "So you're Uio? Hi! I'm Faytha, Kailani's cousin! I've heard a little bit about you!" She smiled at him. She felt like she was just one of the little guys, even though she was still the oldest among them. She was that close to adolescence, where her pelt and possible antlers would grow in. It perplexed her how Devi and Spade were born with their pelts and she and Fenkovan had to wait for theirs.

Fulu caught sight of the three and sauntered over to them. She smiled, seeing Uio and Kailani together again. She was glad she had a friend other than Tybalt. He was a good care taker, but not the greatest role model. Not that she could stop her daughter from idolizing him, though. At that thought she sighed, but shook it off. "Hello Uio. How are..." She looked at him fully now. "Goodness sakes, Uio! You need a bath!" She got a little closer to him, lowering her head and softening her voice. "I could bathe you if you want..."

(SORRY IF FULU SEEMS... i dunno, creepy, im just trying to make her seem helpful XD she most likely knows Uio doesnt have a mom and probably wants to partially adopt him or something, i dunno, but i kinda jumped at that "wanting a bath" thing XD SORRY. ill take it out if its too creepy XDDD)

Hearing his name being called, Spade looked up...in time to see Devi tumble over the stump. He blinked as she righted herself, raising a brow with a headtilt as if to ask if she was alright...or he didn't know what to make of her "grace". He blinked again at her smug observation, about to reply that he knew, but he was cut off before getting a word in. He frowned, as that somewhat irritated him. But the frown turned into a thoughtful look, turning his gray gaze skyward as he pictured her mask suggestion. "Actually...I was thinking of wearing that one..."

[...Sarie...that "spending some time" line just killed me. XDDD *shoves another deer in, getting a glare in response*]

"Achoo!"

Some pebbles fell to the ground, disturbed from where they had been resting atop the ruins. Kinsha paid them no mind as he sniffled. He'd had a cold for the past few days, and though it wasn't that bad anymore, it was still enough to get on his nerves. Sniffling again, he laid his head back on his legs, careful to keep his balance, staring blearily at the moss lining the stone. He probably caught someone's attention with that sneeze, but at the moment he could care less. He just wanted this cold GONE already!

[Kinshi got that cold just before the snow in the Forest. Oh, the timing. XD]

The Dragonfly Deer's Biography

The pond rippled around his feet. For a moment, the dark calf thought over stepping into the water and cleansing himself. He flattened his ears in dissaproval and stepped back, shaking his head so that his torn left ear would lie flat. When he heard his name, his little head snapped up to watch Kailani debate between coming to greet the rugged fawn, or staying near her mother. Uio was delighted as she chose him, trotted forward to meet them. He had a rugged, wind-blown appearance, and atop his little head small grey double-tined stubs rose up. He seemed to be maturing quickly. "Hey Kailani!" He said. The calf's voice was a little deeper, but still had a childish touch. He was beginning to be able to enunciate correctly, but sometimes in his excitement he would stil mistake L's for W's. Kailani was tailed by her mother and another fawn. "Hullo Faytha. I don't think I met you before, but it's so cool that Kail has relatives like that!" His tail wagged in furious excitement, and his ears pressed forward hoping to hear more conversation; it was rare for him. Fulu startled him, and he stumbled back on spindly legs, crashing into the water right after she'd finished speaking to him. Sighing, the embarrased calf cleansed himself in the chilly water, eyeing the fawns on the shore.

lol wittle Uio gets embarrased XD

Kailani slid to a stop in front of the dark colored fawn, and would have crashed into him had she not caught herself quickly, rocking back on her hind end and letting her hooves slide in the dirt beneath her. The big unfaltering grin on her face was a sign that she was clearly unphased by her stumble, her curled tail once more wiggling like that of an excited puppy. Her attention moved from Faytha to Uio, and she seemed pleased with herself, as though she were showing him off. Sure she had her cousins, and Tybalt, but Uio was the first fawn that the little blue and white doe could befriend…or tolerate her, one or the other. Of course, she didn’t realize his appearance nor circumstance were…well, less than ideal, and that many would be less than impressed with her choice.
“In’t he cool?” she giggled to Faytha, once more talking of him as though he were a possession.

Green eyes watched curiously as her mother was spotted approaching the group. She looked on excitedly as the older doe addressed her friend, giggling at her statement. He really was rather dirty. Kailani liked to roll about in the dirt from time to time too, but she couldn’t imagine looking that way all the time. Uio however didn’t seem to take her mother’s intrusion very well. She watched curiously as he stumbled back, water splashing up on him before he appeared to slip in the mud and fall into the shallows. Her eyes grew wide for a moment and she held her breath, wondering what the little male would do. She knew of his dislike for the water, though never fully understood the reason. Upon seeing his weary yet alright expression her ear flicked forward, and she couldn’t help but let out a little snort of laughter.
“Uio, you siwy thing” she mimicked something her parents had once said to her, trotting boldly into the water and circling around him, peering down at him with a goofy smile.
“Mama gives good bathes. Better than icky pond water. You’re gonna smell like fish,” she advised, leaning in closer and playfully sniffing at him before puffing her cheeks out and making fish lips while wrinkling her nose. She couldn’t hold the pose long, bursting into another fit of laughter before leaping promptly over him and running to hide behind Faytha in case he retaliated.


[REALLY srry for the wait!]

WELL CHRIIIST ON A CRACKER. You tttwo have a-a-already grown innn antlee-ers? Calamity studied little Spade first, her golden-brown eyes brightening considerably as she sighted his Kirin antlers beggining to curl forward. She nodded and murmured something like 'secretary pelt' before studying Devi. Well, you loooook l-l-like a little ccclone of yourrrr moth-e-e-er. X-X-Xylia's antttlers. Mmmmagnet's pelt, Aspen's f-face. Devi grinned, her grey eyes shining out from their sockets in her skull. Wanna go to the pond, Spadey? Everyone's down theeere.

In't he cool?

The statement made the already flustered fawn blush with the embarrasment of a compliment. Or he took it that way, anyway. Uio stood up, lowered his head to the water, eyes gazing upward at Fulu. He disregarded being called 'siwy' quickly, but certainly hadn't expected Kailani to wade in and make the water sting into his nostrils. The all too familiar feeling to helplessness; of drowning; of slipping beneath the surface rose up in his mind like a furious barking stag; but was immediatly diminished when Kailani sauntered up playfully. He spun around after the bold fawn who circled him, eyeing her; probably sizing her up for a good tackle. He coiled back when she mimicking the fish, and threw up his stubby antlers playfully, bolting after her. They squealed and play-fought, until Fathya spoke up.

"Another?" he questioned, skidding to a halt as Kailani leapt for cover underneath her mother's stomach and giggled. His unproportionally large ears swiveled forward when Fulu spoke, and his tail shot up, making him stand taller and more confidently, despite his uneasyness. Slowly, his tail and ears fell flat and his hindquarters dropped in submission. Uio padded up to Fulu, looking away and ready for a good cleaning. The pond incident had already cleaned him considerably, and with being wet his caved in, emaciated stomach was even more obvious.

---

Don't worry; Uio will get better. He's beginning to adjust to adult food, and despite a little malnourishment from not suckling, he'll pull through it all just fine. :3

The young fawn laughed as she ran around Faytha in a circle with Uio is pursuit, kicking up her heels at him. She was a fast little thing, and the older she got the longer her legs grew out of proportion to her short, compact body. She slipped agilely beneath her mother, spinning around and sticking her head out beneath the fluff of her belly to peer out at her play partner. Her smile faded into a curious look as her eyes drifted from Faytha and her curious statement to her mother’s inviting expression. Backing away, she pulled her head up and moved to the de’s shoulder, watching Uio approach wearily. For a moment, the youngster was unsure how to react to this. True, she had seemed all for the bath a second ago, but Kailani was developing another bad habit; Selfishness. She was an independent little thing and didn’t spend much time with others, and when she did, things went her way…or no way at all. Sharing her mother made her a bit uneasy, even if it was with her… best friend?

Then again, as much as she boasted her mother’s bathes, she honestly couldn’t say she’d want to be in his place.
She took another step forward once the process was complete and looked him over, tilting her head to one side, and in such a way that her flopped ear for once appeared to stand tall upon her head.
“You’re bumpy,” she stated bluntly, eyeing his ribs and hip bones through his drying fur. She leaned closer and closer, continuing to inspect him, then suddenly lifted her head and gave his cheek a wet lick, giggling and running off, splashing through the shallows and ducking into a cluster of cattails.

"..." Spade stared after his sister with a mixture of annoyance, bemusement, and semi-shock. "I don't understand her sometimes...." he sighed, resisting the urge to face-hoof.

The Dragonfly Deer's Biography

A stream of light hearted giggling and splashing seemed to draw all nearby eyes to the pond. Kailani attempted to hide in the thick leaves of the water plant, but Uio was soon upon her, forcing her to make a splashy exit. The frogs leapt from their lily pads and dove deep for the muck to avoid the commotion, the fish straying further from the shallows, the ripples carrying them outward. The little fawn bounces around in the soft muck of the wade-water, somehow maintaining to avoid the little stag in pursuit of her, then moved back onto dry land, sending her back end into another gear and stretching her gangly legs to bolt into a run. The wide expanse of treeless green became her battleground of choice, and once she got into the middle she dug in her hooves and swung herself around, rearing up and them coming down with front limbs splayed and feather-down lowered in mock threat.
