When I first woke up, I noticed a group, including Virgil and Ourania, on a hillside. I went to join them, and for a little while wasn't sure exactly what to do -- Virgil and his entourage were sitting, basking in the sunlight like a sect of lizards (Hmm. The collective noun for lizards...I know there is bound to be one. I shall ponder the matter further.) and Ourania, still full of energy and in the mood for a full frolic. I wasn't sure what to do -- I never am, times like these. I knew Ourania would join me if I sat...And that Virgil would let me go if I rose. I eventually decided to stick us all together, and sat down.

That was until Scape showed up. And this decision was so easy that I was away with only a small bow to excuse myself. Ourania, to my pleasant surprise, joined me. It has been ages since I saw Scape last. We greeted eachother with shock and joy, and commenced doing what we do best: silly walks. Turning circles in and out, skipping little half-leaps around eachother in small, self-contained patterns like the jumbling of particles in air. And, of course, playing with the trees, nuzzling them and rubbing against each other. A few times it was a little embaressing -- I mean, undestand that when I planned it, it was his side I was rubbing my cheek against and not -- oh, nevermind. It was funny enough.
It's interesting. I hadn't really thought about how much sitting down I've been doing with most of my time. How little running or playing. Until then, anyway: it was like stretching after a long sleep, and waking up to feel the bright spring air on your face. The season's changed; it's time for fancy-free frolicking, for frisky fun in the green woods. I'll need to remember that. Maybe, if I asked, my friends who are more inclined to thoughtful rest would join me... I'll just...have to work up the courage to ask. They would, right? Right.

Feeling unusually high-spirited as I was, I proposed a game of hide-and-go seek.

I woke up and smelt the freash air. I got up and started exploring my new home and surroundings. I went to the playground and played with another fawn. We played for a long time, then said goodbye. I wandered for a while and found a group of older stags. They were whorshiping tein statues. I decided to go over. They didnt seem to notice me so I layed down and dozed off. I had a dream about the twin statues. I learned that they were the gods of the forest. I woke up, seeing my mother in front of me. "Where have you been!" she said, looking at me with worry. "I was just exploring" I replied. "Ok. Just be careful" she said. "I will" I said as we went home and slept for the rest of the day.

Toya woke to find a strikingly similar deer (doe?) resting under the willowy tree perch.

How fascinating!

Down the tree to play and rest in the sun. Rest our big beluga foreheads against eachother. Nose ears, groom and sleep.

Toya keeps watch. Curious and pleased to have found a new and beautiful friend.

Thank you for your company.

ooo and she can sit in trees too!!! ;D ;D ;D
