If you don't know what's going on: just as he and Glisseo were about to start their date, Gliss got sucked back into the human world *dun dunnnn*. Enth had no idea what happened or where she went, so--yeah he's kind of like freaking out.
His family members are encouraged to post here as he'll need some consoling (and maybe a few good whacks about the head), but others are welcome to join, too!

Every breath came out rattling and painful in his throat. He squinted against the swarm of flies he passed through on his round past the Ruins. Groaning muscles. Sore bones. He'd stopped to eat and drink a little yesterday after he was dizzy enough to have fallen over and passed out for what was probably only a few seconds. He had more important things to do.
Enthbril had been running this loop through the Forest ever since she'd disappeared, looking for any clues. So far no deer he'd questioned was able to give him any sort of information. As far as he was concerned, they didn't care about him. They didn't care that he was finally starting to feel somewhat normal in his life or that he felt so happy around her or that she was even gone, taken by some animal or--the young stag shook his head vigorously and dashed through the Ruins, towards the Playground. He was supposed to be looking for evidence as to where Glisseo had vanished to, but he was too focused on running away from the recurring thought that she might be hurt somewhere that he couldn't find her, or worse..
It seemed like even his legs were against him: they didn't want to move the way he needed them to and, sure enough, he was sprawled out on the ground again. Little stars winked in his vision. His head was empty except for the need to get up and move.
Find her.
His head turned as if he was going through the motions of standing up, except his legs were no longer controllable and felt incredibly heavy laying there in the grass. Enthbril's eyes were clouded over as if he was already dead. He might as well be.
Small hooves hit the earthy
Kasmir's usual skip was faltering. She had some motherly instinct going on, and she needed to find her son. She needed to find him now. Trying hard to swallow past the lump in her throat, she sniffed and sniffed, looking for him with her nose because her eyes were teary.
"Enth? Enth, honey? Where are you?" she called, when his scent got really strong. There was no answer, but as she moved further, his scent mixed with that of hopelessness. A million scenarios raced through her head, and she started running. He could be hurt.. someone could've hurt him, he could be paralyzed, he could've eaten bad berries, he could by dying...
"ENTHBRIL!" She screamed, forgetting to sniff and just running. Tears definatly lurred her vision now, and she was distraught, needing to find her son, her little baby...
Every sound was muffled
There was a familiar noise. Who was it..? Enthbril tried to speak, but his lips were too numb and he'd forgotten how to make noises--or even what he was thinking about just a few seconds ago. Only then did he realize the air was much too thin and he needed to keep breathing so desperately so he could keep on going, keep on trying to find her. Her. Grey fur. Smiles. Apples and water lilies.
It took all of his will to try and force himself onto his feet, but his front legs were stuck to his chest and he rolled onto his side, mouth agape with his labored breathing. A small noise managed to slip past his lips without him knowing.
No. No, no, no, no, no. This
She ran aimlessly, just trying to find him. And then, after a little while, she saw an orange blurb up ahead. Her speed increased as he eyes widened. He was in a patch of her favorite flowers.. just.. lying there. Her breath hitched in her throat. She got closer and closer... and then she slowed down. "Enthbril? It's me. Me, Kasi. Your mom. Your momma." She said leaning down towards him, not wanting to frighten her son.
"Enth, what's wrong? Are you okay? Do I need to get Will? Are you okay? Tell me what's wrong, honey." Her eyes darted back and forth from his left to his right. They portrayed pain, hurt, anxiety, despair. Mostly anxiety. She swallowed, and leaned forward to press her mouth to his forhead, tears welling up again. Her baby wasn't supposed to feel bad like this. Not ever.
Colors swam around him. It
Bomma The tetany still held sway over his entire body. Bomma.. Tears came to his own eyes: he felt so helpless, so near death. He couldn't even speak correctly.
The air wasn't nearly as thin now and his breathing had slowed a fraction. But still the paralysis held on. His throat worked up and down as he swallowed a wad of thin worry-saliva so he could try speaking again. Whar eeshuh? He squeaked.
Oh, God. She had no idea what
She didn't know. His heart
Gliffo He managed to mumble even though his chest was still tight. Thinking was a little easier now and had he been well and staring at this predicament from the outside, he would have been amused at how soon the shining grey doe overtook his thoughts.
You'll be fine she said.
How could he? This was terrible. He needed to get up and keep searching but his front legs were frozen and useless. Wherr ib Gliffo..? Hearing his speech improve a little should have cheered him up but instead there were tears running hotly down his cheeks. Enthbril curled in around himself and silently wished to himself for this to end.
Just butting in for a moment
I FEEL LIKE SUCH A MONSTER, OMG.
Poor little Enthy-baby! ):
Acer is all He'll be fine!
He'll be fine! He just needs to calm his t--antlers.
