Her pelt is stained with the ink of all recorded history
And for a brief moment, it was rewritten

Hello. Thanks for the

Hello.
Thanks for the challenge..
I've got an odd feeling that my deer understands your character's language rather well, though I would also love to hear some of your perspective.

And my connection was unsteady at that time of the day. Did my deer receive any blows I could be unaware of?

Rouda - Glad you like, thank

Rouda - Glad you like, thank you.
Uitleger - Hey. I've been wondering what you've been thinking actually. I'd like to hear it.
Ravyn can make Saosin incredibly insecure at times, for numerous reasons mostly caused by his own paranoia. Normally he is confident, but when it comes to those he truly cares about it gets quite different. Only those in his heart can sway it, so to speak. Because of this he isn't very accepting of Ravyn's new friends. He listens to and tries for her more than he does for anyone else, does things that is often contradicting to what he'd normally do. He just wants her attention all to himself. Already jealous, Saosin actually tried to make an effort to be nice when encountering your deer for the first time, but when your deer suddenly left it didn't really help his situation. He gets quite frustrated, and deals with it by trying to establish dominance, craving submission. This recent fight, a test of sorts, complicated things, as it was different than what he had observed from your deer before. He liked your deer's earlier behavior more and was tolerant of his presence then, and I'm sure it would've made him loosen up towards your deer eventually. Now I'm not so sure, haha.

It's possible. A common thing in game is that it might appear as if you're attacking the target on your screen, but on another's you're just charging at the air. I trust the other player to decide their deer's health fairly though.

Hm. My deer's departure was

Hm.
My deer's departure was his momentary invented way of saying "I'm no rival". The clash had been expected and even somewhat thoroughly unprepared for.

My deer had developed a form of respect towards Saosin, but his fuse was still short, regardless. Saosin's stepping on him while he was resting [happened on the same day as the troll-deer circus], the subsequent attempts to establish dominance stirred his reason so, he accepted the challenge. The repeated shake of the head, especially at the beginning and in the end, was used to shed the unnecessary aggravation, and to communicate that he was not fighting for dominance.

Eventually, the slight bow gesture from Saosin tricked my deer into thinking that the tension was resolved.
I'm satisfied with the odd turn of things, it can become quite interesting, developing naturally..

Sh, I'll think of something.
J!n's picture

Uitleger - Yeah, Soasin is

Uitleger - Yeah, Soasin is quite unfair.
To me it looked like your deer only fought for some respect in return, since Saosin gave him none before. So he agreed, hence the bow. For he doesn't want serious trouble, and has his own way of trying to prevent it. He will still be wary around his closest though, until he has figured your deer out further.
Hmm, what are you plotting?

You saw it right, for the

You saw it right, for the most part..
So, does Saosin consider my deer a threat for some reason?

Nr, plotting disrupts the flow.
As for my last words on the previous reply, I was just considering 'giving' some wounds to my deer, since, taking into account all the conditions of the fight, it would be a fair outcome.
J!n's picture

Uitleger - Yes and no. If it

Uitleger - Yes and no. If it hadn't been for the circumstances he wouldn't have been considered a threat. Anyone could be seen as such depending on that. It all boils down to trust and Saosin has a hard time trusting anyone, even Ravyn at times.. I don't doubt that they could become allies over time, but my deer isn't giving him much of a choice as of now. Either behave and hope for a respectful friendship, or get total rejection and face the consequences, kind of thing. Saosin has rather sad, twisted views on some things..

I don't know your deer's appearance, but Saosin's antlers are wide, long and has multiple sharp tines, not to mention that he's large himself. It wasn't a very serious fight though, and your deer seem to dodge the worst anyway, so I'd say some scratches here and there should seem fitting.

About the dodging, Saosin isn't very keen on running around much when fighting as it puts more strain on his right front leg, but he compensates for it by spinning around quickly to lock antlers or just dive into his opponents exposed sides. The idea is not easy to get across in game though. The fight was actually rather enjoyable to me, by the way. Does your deer have a name?

Lol, I wasn't sure if Saosin

Lol, I wasn't sure if Saosin would be alright with Lacie grooming him, hence the constant head tilting.

I consider it a bit of a breakthrough, her doing that; she/I have always been insanely intimidated by him, and grooming him a bit seemed to put her - and I - at some ease.

I like how his bio looks now, by the by. It looks so clean and neat &hearts

Ookamiazura - <3 Heheh, he's not about to burst into flames the moment someone touches him, at least not when it's a good friend.. He enjoys quiet times like that a lot. Thanks, I appreciate it, and the company as well.

It's just that some deer I know don't appreciate her doing it at all, so I'm never sure what to expect from someone she's never groomed before, lol

I love the quiet times too; and you're quiet welcome, though I must thank you for letting me keep you/him company &hearts

Adoring the layout...♥
The way you put the newest picture (Kiss me) on this reminds me of a deer head trophy displayed apon a hunter's wall. Though probably no hunter could kill Saosin I bet xD Very nice...

J!n's picture

Ookamiazura - Ah, I

Ookamiazura - Ah, I understand. Saosin can be very affectionate with friends though, and if he doesn't feel like being close, all he will do is move away. Mmh, we should hang out more.
Konohahiiragi - Thank you! Yeah, same here. Lol, I'd fear for my life if I were a hunter meeting him.
I've had this idea for a long time actually, even back when his antlers were that of a whitetail's, like this. I never posted it though as I changed my mind about them afterwards.

Ahh that too is absolutley gorgeous! The ones you currently have are more demonic, sharp, and dangerous, they fit him perfectly. I like those too, nnn I love your art so much. Your signature is lovely as well, btw :3

Konohahiiragi - It's really

Konohahiiragi - It's really old now though, and I have improved since. Hn, I like his new appearance much better. Demonic, I suppose. But he's more of a half god, kekek. Thanks, my sig was just something I did quickly out of boredom.

I see. My deer's reaction to

I see.
My deer's reaction to Saosin goes cold and somewhere along the lines of "spare the huffs, I'm not your therapist".
Insecurity leads to low-hearted acts, in his opinion; so the lack of trust is returned.
He can relate to Saosin on the point of jealousy, though; does make some attempts at communication, albeit strained.
By the by, what was the snorting/sneezing about? Did it have something to do with that stranger settling near?

Thought so. Thank you.

My character knew he had no chance in the antler wrestling and sought for a breach.
It was a venture, so I enjoyed it, too.
Hm. I doubt that he'll ever get one, refusing to utter a single word. I'll think of a scent to identify him.
J!n's picture

Uitleger - I don't see how

Uitleger - I don't see how that's supposed to make sense in his situation.. It's still not quite clear to me or Saosin what your deer is really like, hence he will remain suspicious and observant.
Yes, it does, especially with my deer. How can he relate to the jealousy?
As for the sneezing, if it was at the time when your deer wore the butterfly pelt, Saosin was trying to tell him to sneeze it off, as it's similar to his mate's. That's just because it was your deer though, had it been anyone else he wouldn't have cared.

Ah, it annoyed Saosin, but it fits the circumstances nonetheless. He wanted a real fight but your deer didn't.
Generally, I imagine Saosin to have an intimidating scent of a male deer and that of the ocean. He has certain perfumes though, like the birch tree's sap, Ravyn and his own urine(naturally, stags tries to achieve this intentionally, particularly during the rut) and probably various other things that I can't think of now. I wonder what you'll come up with.

I think that he might have more friends than he thinks he has, the poor guy.
I really like that about him that he isn´t really a "cool" character (not that he isn´t cool, heh) but that his aggression&distrust are his weaknesses, not just traits to be "cool". It gives him a lot more believable feel. You can really see in which characters the players are put a lot work into clearly even though there might be "similar" character-types around. He still stands out among them. <3
