(Lol, Xemi~ XD I can totally picture Crucio doing that, as obnoxious as he can be! =P)

(Oh hai, page two. c: )

(Pff oh god, now I'm going to always picture Crucio talking like Austin Powers. The horror! XD)

(Haha, wouldn't doubt it! "Ugh...you got heat stroke again? You're fired! D8<")

The young buck licked his lips, for now he realized that he was also quite thirsty. He watched Herla graze for a moment, and he grimaced as his stomach snarled at him again. Maybe she wouldn't notice if he had a quick bite and drink... He perked up when she looked at him and smiled, and he awkwardly returned the expression and straightened up again as if he were still alert. When she went back to grazing, Liam wasted no time in munching on the lovely grass around his hooves. He ate as quickly and silently as possible, also taking a few frantic gulps of water. To any other deer, he probably came off as not having eaten for days, but at the moment he didn't really care. When he was hungry, well, nothing could stop him from eating. Simple as that!

Indeed, it was hot. Hotter than usual, in fact. Liam's thick fur made for perfect insulation, and trapped heat rather quickly. He was beginning to feel the effects of the powerful sun overhead as small beads of perspiration appeared on his brow. On the plus side, he now felt full as well, although that may have been because he ate and drank too fast. He flushed as she called him big and strong again, and then nodded his head vigorously (although he blanched slightly at the thought of crocodiles). "Y-yes...of course. They're...certainly no match for me," he replied with very little confidence in his voice. He watched her wade deeper into the pond and bit his lip, his eyes scanning the water for the creature called Neath. But what were he to do if such a threat reared its head? He began to feel really nervous, his tail flicking and scaring off annoying, buzzing pests.

Watching.

(Haha, I wouldn't be surprised if she did ask him that! XD)

Liam turned to face Herla as she emerged from the water, and at that point he was beginning to lightly pant. His fur rippled as the flies continued to pester him, and at that moment he would love nothing more than to dive into the pond and rid himself of the heat and nuisances. But, he stood his guard; he must not betray the doe's trust. He blinked when she announced she was tired, and he looked over at a nearby willow tree. "Perhaps you should rest beneath the tree over there? There will be plenty of shade; this heat is dreadful," he offered, praying that she would agree. It was unbearably hot, and his head was beginning to pound a little. Damn this heat...

Herla gave the golden buck another huge smile. Looking at the willow tree she said, “Yes, but my fur is slightly damp now from my swim, I thought I might like to lay in the sun…but the flies are damningly bothersome right now aren’t they? Perhaps you are right, the willow branches always seem to keep the insects away. Let’s take nap there, shall we?”

((Thanks Unplugged, I’m having fun with her character, I know she can be a bit over the top. I’m hoping to actually progress her eventually, have some character growth, she isn’t set in stone. She’s used to being the one always breaking hearts…maybe there will be some stag that will break hers. ))

((Selruil: Come find her! Herla is sitting on the playground rocks pestering Morsch. And I just noticed Liam has joined her there as well ))

-creeps on- >8D
The magpie pelted creature is mine. <3 It's best to ignore him, he's a bit of a snob. XD

Haha, yep. He's an unofficial character I'm fleshing out. <3
LOL. Ohgod, that gave me quite the laugh. |D Poor, tiffed Herla.

((This is cracking me up! ))

Herla rested upon Liam’s shoulder. Truth was she did rest better next to somebody else. She was very insecure on her own and hated sleeping by herself. She just felt too vulnerable. The more stags she had in her pocket, the better. They could protect her. It never crossed her mind to actually befriend any of them or have actual romantic feelings for them. No, they were only a means to an end. The bigger and stronger they were and the more devoted they were to her, the better. There were things in the forest she very much had reason to be afraid of. She snuggled close to Liam and was quickly asleep.

((In a lot of ways, Liam is the perfect friend for Herla, she is too jealous of does to allow friendship with them and stags are for manipulating. Liam is “safe” and could be a friend who wouldn’t put any sort of demands upon her other than friendship. Which is something she needs to learn!))

Herla was dreaming. She knew she was, it was a dream she had often. She was a fawn. Alone in the forest. Her mother was gone and had left her alone. She was cold and hungry and had nobody to look after her. Night creatures hunted her. She was defenseless. She always awoke from this dream crying, which she did now. She sobbed silently so as not to awaken Liam. She would never allow anybody to know her true fear. Even crying, she was controlled, her body hardly shuddering at all as she sucked the sobs in. She would never allow herself to be that scared fawn again. She had grown up beautiful, that along with her cunning was her only asset. She would do what ever she had to do to make sure she was safe so she would never suffer like she had when she was a fawn. Choking down the last of her sobs, she nuzzled further into Liam’s warm side and drifted off back to sleep.

"Yoo make my head hurt m'am."
The small stag sighed while sitting next to the peacock-feathered doe. He looked slightly desperate and horrible overtaxed with the situation.
On the one hand he was close to a panic attack of a possible sudden nuzzle the whole time, on the other hand his curiousity towards this doe was much to pushing to let him run away. (besides that.... his pride wouldn't allow him to run away anyways.)


((haha don't mind me... you can ignore this if you want xD))

Ohhhh. Corvetta will love this girl. Tracking.

((kaitlyn, I look forward to Herla and Corvetta meeting.))

((Uruushou, no worries, right after Herla said hi, I plunked her down in the pond and went to make dinner. I’m kind of at a loss where to go RP wise at the moment. I’ll update if something comes to me, lol! ))

Blixt: "What a silly little doe you are! I don't quite understand what you were asking me for...ah well...you remind me of my younger brother's daughter, I think it's the antlers."

"Erm...I suppose so...", his answer was hesitant. He would protect anyone who asked it of him.

This doe made him remember a doe he once loved, though....the one that he and Dond fought over. He never wanted to go to a place like that again, hoping he'd never have to deal with losing a mate again. He let out a sigh here.

I nearly died because of a doe...do I really want to go through that again?, he thought.

Blixt tilted his head. Wh...wha...?, Blixt began to question in his mind.

"I said I'd protect you...", Blixt spoke, but under his breath, he said, "Though it seems like you'd be able to take care of yourself..."

Youknow I really love her design in-art and in-tef. <333 (:

((No problem morsch! Sorry for the long delay in replying, I've only just gotten back from work myself.))

Herla was hardly listening to the strange stag, so annoyed she was with him. Until she heard the complement about her feathers, then instantly her eyes brightened and she half turned back towards him. She fluffed her mantle and batted her eyelashes at him, rolling her shoulder seductively. “Oh! Well then…that’s okay then. My name is Herla.” she sauntered back and gave him one her most adoring looks, partially hiding her face behind her fan. “So, you like my feathers?”

((Thanks Nopje! ))

((Don’t worry, Herla likes hamming it up, any chance to get elicit some sympathy and protectiveness I’ve been hanging around this orca pelted fellow for a while. Coming up on the map as yusuke and they haven’t registered an account on the community. You think he has an old style face? I can’t tell. Wish I knew he was! ))

Quad: *waves from the other side of the rock*

Quad: Err...aren't you...peacocky today... *nervous farts*

Quad backs up, surprised.

Sorry! That was supposed to be a compliment! Peacock antlers are...well...I find them pretty on does.

He sulks, realizing he had offended the other deer.

Quad nods five times. Oh yes, I sure do. They're very...'earthy', they make me think of trees, and I like trees. A lot, actually. Hmm...you're not part tree, are you?

A silly question, but that was to be expected from a silly fat blackbuck.

((Going to bed. Night XD))
