{Liam} ||+caged heart+||

April 25, 2011 - 4:55am — Uruushou

_{There was a time when I was stronger.

I do not remember such a time, for it was long ago.

To be strong again...to be brave.

I wish I could tell you...

I hope, someday, you may understand.

I am caged...}

current thoughts
"Gods...Caine, I forgive you. I love you with all of my heart..."

recent activity
Awoke in a haze within the cage at the ruins, feeling weak and a little disoriented. At first he thought that the encounter he had with Caine last night had only been a nightmare, but when he noticed the stargazer lily that Caine had placed beside him while he was unconscious, he realized that it was not a dream at all. Although he was disheartened, he carried the lily in his teeth as he wandered aimlessly, trying to clear his head. Almost immediately felt sick to his stomach when he suddenly picked up on Caine's scent, and he turned the other way toward the pond where he sought refuge by an oak tree.

Was soon approached by Tandem who quickly picked up on Liam's distress. When the crow-deer came up to greet and and ask what was wrong, Liam broke down and poured out to his friend what had happened between him and Caine that night. He spoke of how guilty he felt, and how he had ruined everything between them. Gradually, Tandem's gentle coaxing and advice helped put Liam somewhat at ease, ever grateful for his company and kindness. When Caine suddenly appeared, Tandem politely took his leave to give them privacy, although Liam began to feel anxious as his friend left. The fear had returned, even though Caine appeared incredibly dejected and sorrowful.

Despite everything that had happened, and despite Liam's fears and worries, the two ended up making amends. Caine apologized for how he acted, and insisted that he was the one at fault. Liam forgave him, and the pair spent the rest of the night embracing, their relationship rekindled.

mate Caine

age young adult (around 22 or 23 in human years)

personality shy | introverted | fearful | effeminate | pacifist | playful | friendly | loving | lonely | insecure | soft-spoken |

history Not much is known about Liam's past. However, he has been neurotic his whole life and fears making the wrong impression on other deer. He has a major inferiority complex, and dreads confrontation.

notes For whatever reason, random deer may send Liam into a shivering fit. He is very wary of deer that wear skull masks, as he cannot see their faces. He may take a playful gesture (rearing, bowing antlers, etc.) as a threat, but with coaxing he will become more relaxed. Liam has always been attracted to other stags, but he fears showing this side of himself as he believes that he will be damned by the Twin Gods. Despite his faults, Liam is very playful and loves to run around. He adores fawns, but he may not trust other deer right away. He has an affinity toward butterflies and the cage within the Ruins.

October 23, 2011

I think...that everything will be alright. Tandem, I am so sorry for ever getting you mixed up in this. Please forgive me...I don't want to lose you. Caine...I am still a little afraid and uncertain. I saw a side of you that I wish I could have never known existed, but...of course I forgive you. I still love you, no matter what. I believe that things will get better soon. Please...don't forget about me...

September 26, 2011

Oh, Caine...where are you? I'm so worried, and I miss you so much. I feel so empty without you... I need you now more than ever...I'm afraid I'll do something that I'll regret. I just...I can't live like this, Caine. I want to feel your warmth again, taste your lips, feel your heart beat next to mine... Will I ever see you again...? Please, be safe...I'll be here...

August 20, 2011

The last time I had seen your face...how long has it been? I...I don't even want to think about that. But...you waited for me. Gods, you waited for me. Caine...words cannot express how much I love you. I was lost, afraid I'd lose you forever...but you waited for me. I love you so much, Caine...I will never, ever leave you again. You have my heart, now and always~ ♥

June 13, 2011

Oh Caine, I have missed you so much... I...I do hope I was not too smothering. I have missed your touch, your warmth, your smile. But you are here now, and I could not be happier, love~

May 18, 2011

Caine... I have never felt so happy in my entire life. Words cannot express how much I care for you, and how relieved I am to know that you feel the same way for me. I...I have been afraid to express myself like this, but you have shown me that there is nothing to fear. I am yours, Caine...Gods, I love you...

May 17, 2011

No, please...oh Gods, Caine...I am so very sorry. Please...please don't run away. I...I need you... Please, come back... Please...

May 16, 2011

Caine...why must you fight? You are so sweet, so kind...but you turn into something else, something darker when you feel threatened. It...frightens me, but I cannot run away. I feel that I must quell whatever storm has begun to brew. I don't want to see you or anyone else get hurt... It would tear me apart. I am sorry I nuzzled you...I know it makes you uncomfortable, but, I knew it would make you back off if not just a little. I am so sorry, Caine... Please do not hate me...

May 13, 2011
I have not seen Incubus in several days, and it truly pains me. I was so happy to finally feel connected with another, especially a stag...but now I am convinced that he was just part of my imagination. Something that I could only dream of and never acquire. But then...I found Caine. Or, Caine found me. He is...so very different from me, but he accepts me for who I am. I feel so baffled, so relieved... How could a powerful stag such as himself not want to drive me off out of disgust or anger? Caine...I feel so safe around you. I want to get to know you better, if that is alright. I feel...free. I don't have to feel afraid anymore...

May 6, 2011
Incubus... I do not know if we had met through chance or fate, but I am very happy to have crossed paths with you. Overjoyed, truly. I feel so awful that you are in so much pain... I want to go after those who had hurt you, but I am too weak and afraid.
I suppose the most I can do is keep you company, and...I have this feeling inside of me, a warmth that grew as we spent time together. I do not know what you would think of me if I were to tell you... I do not want to lose your trust so quickly. Please, get better... I won't be far if you wish for my company...

April 28, 2011
Today I met the strange doe that Woden had previously told me about. He told me that she was odd, and not like him or I. He didn't go into detail, but I felt he was holding back something important. She's...different. Afraid, like me. My heart went out to her when one stag began to bellow at and taunt her. I could not understand why she was being treated as such, or why she forced herself to eat those grubs. She did not look like she enjoyed them...
I have decided that I should not question her behavior. After all, I am not exactly one would call normal, either. Still, there is something about her...something that seems foreboding, and yet I cannot help but reach out to her. This doe, Nekumbra...I will watch over her, and make sure that no one hurts her. I will try...

April 26, 2011
I have been coming across and playing with the faerie stag for a couple of days now, and he is the best company I have had in such a long time. His name is Woden, and he is one of the more fascinating deer I have met. His energy and all-around appreciation of life brings joy to my heart; I cannot help but smile when he runs around.
Curiously, although he is small (well, sometimes) he seems to not be afraid of anything. I find that admirable as well as enviable. I wish I were as brave and trusting as him. I suppose I have much to learn about myself still, but I am very grateful that he and I are friends. The Forest is becoming brighter by the day.

April 25, 2011
I happened across a doe whose pelt was as dark as the night sky. She seemed shy, unsure...much like me, I suppose. I stayed with her, curious about this deer who is so much like me.
We were soon joined by a skull-faced stag with a striking coat, and although I could not see his face, I did not fear him. It is odd, but I could sense that he was not like any other deer I've met. He was whimsical, and bowed to trees...I believe that he is a spirit, or a faerie perhaps.
He spoke to us of the whispers upon the Forest's breath. Its secrets are all around us, it seems... I still do not know how I arrived here; I can hardly remember the last harvest season. Perhaps if I listen more, I will learn in time.

April 23, 2011
The Forest became brighter today. I crossed paths with a stag whose pelt bore a striking resemblance to my own. He greeted me warmly, and we kept each other company for quite a while. It is strange... I felt as if I could immediately trust him. When we were approached by an aggressive deer, he protected me...I had never been treated with such thoughtfulness before. I am not sure how I feel... I only wish for his company for just a little longer.

I love Liam's set, it's very striking. Woden's having fun running around as a mini most of this week but he likes to mix it up sometimes.

And no worries, I'm in and out all the time when I'm in the forest. I'll just leave my deer sleeping while I'm away.

That is very reassuring, thank you! I was apprehensive at first with the set, but I was surprised to find that the antlers and pelt actually went well together. To me, it seems to reflect his quirky personality. c: Gyah, Woden is so adorable as a mini...aw hell, all minis are adorable! XD

Haha, yep! He basically just went, "Oh, hell naw!" and shooed her away. XD I hope Woden wasn't upset by that; Baba just simply can't stand around and let bad things happen. :<

Yep, I was! I was logged in as Uruu first, saw Woden and then logged into Liam really quick to show him who it was. 8P No worries at all, I figured as much! Ugh, losing sets suuuucks. D:

Holy crap, Uruushou, I just

Holy crap, Uruushou, I just realized who you are!!!
You're helterskellter from DA, right? Think I might have been friends with you on LJ too. Many years ago?

What a small world!

And I think I drew your Daggoth for you! He was a nifty skull horse character!

http://sighthoundlady.deviantart.com/gallery/?q=daggoth#/dxx92x

And you drew my SoftWing, which is actually my first TEF inspired character:
http://sighthoundlady.deviantart.com/favourites/9225189?offset=0#/dz6jkl

Ah, good times. I did like 50 million art trades that month in 2007. I had just moved and wasn't going to start my new job for several weeks. So I traveled around visiting my family...and lugged my cintiq all around with me so I could work on art.

—

April 27, 2011 - 5:36am — Uruushou

Yep, that's right!! 8DD I

Yep, that's right!! 8DD I think we were, but holy cow, my LJ days were so long ago! D: Haha, small world indeed! I most certainly recognized your username and the art style, and I was stoked when I found out you actually played the game too! I hadn't really brought up my being helterskellter because I wasn't sure if you'd remember me (it's been a couple of years after all). But I'm very flattered that you do! c: I haven't really been on DA because I haven't had enough time for it, but I really need to go to submitting more stuff. *slapsself* :<

Haha, I think 2007 was a busy year for me, too; I was drawing like crazy! XD I most definitely remember doing that picture of Softwing (funnily enough I didn't know he was a TEF character, or what TEF even was), he was very fun to draw! Ahh, good ol' times, indeed. c:

Eee, I still have that picture of Daggoth, and I still absolutely love it! ♥♥ I remember Farfalla, too; she is such a lovely character c: Geez...I seriously owe you fanart, girl! XD

I pretty much stick to the

I pretty much stick to the same name everywhere I go on the internet. I’m old and stodgy like that, plus I adamantly believe in that the old K.I.S.S adage. Keep It Simple Stupid. And I’m the one who’s usually stupid.

I’m chronically confused by all the many and varied usernames everyone uses. I can’t keep up. Hah!

I saw your link to DA and was looking at your gallery. Things looked familiar, than bam, I figured it out. You’re art is fantastic by the way! I love the art you’ve drawn of your TEF characters. You really need to post some of that to DA, I’m watching your new sushicorgi page now so I don’t miss out.

Haha, trust me, I believe in K.I.S.S. as well! I stick to the same two or three usernames that I use everywhere. It may not be the best idea, but hell, I'll never remember if I used any more than that. XD

Gah, thank you so very much; that really means a lot! ;-; ♥♥ Not to sound like a babbling fangirl or anything, but your work has been an inspiration to me since I first saw it! c:

Liam flinched and pressed his back up against the trunk of the willow as she raised up and looked down on him, his eyes wide with fear. Her words were sorrowful, cold... He opened his mouth to speak, but no sound came. He could not find the words... Talk, you fool! In a blink, Nekumbra was running deeper into the woods, and soon disappeared in the foliage.

The stag let out a shuddering sigh and stood on slightly unsteady legs, shaking his fur. He stared in the direction that Nekumbra had fled, and for a fleeting moment contemplated if he should follow her. She wants to be alone, yes...but what if she loses control again? He had to keep an eye on her... Swallowing the lump in his throat, Liam trotted after her, his ears swiveling nervously.
