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.

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.

"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.
