"He is. Likely moreso than I am." Gehirn grinned. "No doubt I am lucky. But so are many here, I know he would protect those that need him. But it is good that you are feeling better.." She answered him she didn't need anything. He raised an eyebrow. "You quite sure about that? Well, alright then. Though if anything arises, you can tell me." The stag took it as his task to keep her safe for now. He let her cuddle closer, trying to embrace her with the long dark mane of fur around his neck. "Then we lay." He answered. He was content with that, but was still a little worried for the small doe. But things would be alright, so it seemed.

"Am I?" He asked, before watching her drift off into sleep.

The black giant had been contently watching over her, making sure she could be as warm as possible. Once in a while he'd turn to groom her a little, getting dirt out of her fur even if he could barely find any. It was more a way to spend the time whilst the little doe slept.
Gehirn kept his eyes on the environment none the less. One attention seeking stag in paticulair had been getting on his nerves, walking around them in circles. Though, it figures one should not give attention to those that ask for it balantly. He kept his eyes on Herla.
Perhaps it wasn't a suprise stags were looking for her attention. Somehow, it worried Gehirn. He hoped she would not fall for the wrong stag in the end. Even though he likely already was.

(And then I accidentally cast a spell on Herla. I SHOULD BE KILLED. *Cries*
Not much of a change though.. Noone will notice! ;_;' Oh wait, you just did.. Sorry! XD)

(Don't worry, it's quite fine! I understand XD We'll see, so far I'm also doing other things.. Secretly being addicted to minecraft.. Heh. You're no awfull company though o_o' No worries! XD)

Herla's got a twin sister we don't know about XD I dunno, sometimes it happens and I'm not sure why. I had a double Nightmare moment once... I was all O-o;;;;

[[ No worries dear, I'm quite busy myself going back and forth and working on some artwork as well XD ]]

The stag shifted where he was, huffing out a labored breath before looking to the small doe... offering a slight chuckle before laying his head back down on the bloody moss that coated the rock, the blood from him "One of... those phases... you could say I'm like a sweet little... butterfly, just not as pretty..." He chuckled a bit more, comparing himself to the butterflies evolutionary line was like an insult to the beauty of those creatures "Don't worry... no one attacked me... though I wished someone had... less pain..."

"Just staying close by is more than enough... I'd rather have the company than to be alone..." The nightmare-ish stag shifted, tugging his front legs under him "This happens every once in awhile... I... outgrow my 'shell' so to say... I generally stay my same old shaggy self, but often times my face changes..." He sighed, Nightmare shifting slightly a bit "And how have you been? I've heard the whispers around that you've had a bit of trouble around the forest..."

[[ Later hun you have a great day yourself and a wonderful rest *nods* ]]

"It makes me feel better at least, I used to have... more that would come to sit with me but they are rarely... if ever... around anymore... I've grown lonely, decrepit..." He chuckled and sighed, slumping down... his breathing labored and ripe with rasps "A ripe old bastard one would say..." Another chuckle, before his attention turned to her listening "There are many dangerous things in this forest... some of which make for the worst kind of danger... I was one of them..."

NOTE:
If you see Herla’s picto in the forest but she’s wearing the DotD mask then it’s not her, it’s Sugar borrowing her picto.

Heya Lady! I just wanted to jump in and let you know that the fight with Casstiel that just happened was planned. Sorog was already very much wounded from the fight with Gustiro, and so he went down quickly. He began to run away in humiliation, but then Sianna began to follow him...which triggered Gustiro to come back after Sorog because he is protective of her (and as you may know, Sorog is already pretty much enemies with Gustiro, eep). Sooo, Casstiel stopped Sianna from getting too close to Sorog, allowing him to "escape" and try to nurse his wounds. So, it's been a pretty exciting day for role-playing! I hope he isn't too off-putting; I don't want Sorog to be extremely unlikeable OOC, so I will gladly listen to anyone's concerns about his behavior. If something about him bothers you, please let me know; the last thing I want to do is make someone angry~ DX

Haha, I figured she'd be interested! XD I'm just worried about people getting the wrong idea, because other players know that the rest of my characters are very passive and non-aggressive. I am enjoying playing him, but I am determined to make the major fights planned. As far as that big fight between him and Gustiro goes...well, it wasn't planned. Sorog wandered too close, Gustie got up in his business and he just flipped like men wont to do! DX To make matters worse, Gustie is very protective of Sianna, and she is making of habit of getting close to Sorog, probably to make him angry and thus have Gustiro come after him. It's all pretty crazy, but as you say, drama is awesome! ;D

Haha, well I'm glad people enjoyed it... or seemed to. It was a very interesting match-up: strength against speed. I think speed won this time, though. c:

And don't worry about the lateness. It's all good. 8D <3
I'm also glad she took notice. Casey was certainly trying to catch her eye. |D



Also: Sianna was the blue doe with the DOTD antlers and skull mask. Gustiro normally has the zombie set and kabuki pelt. <3

I think Sianna tried to take a swipe at Herla when she got to close to Castiel earlier this evening? Herla bolted out of there like a rabbit after that. She was a little wary to approach him again with an aggressive larger antlered dear seeming to guard over him. She is not strength. She is feminine wiles, with speed her only defense.

But she couldn’t resist the chance to flirt with a handsome stag, especially one that was impressing her with his fighting.

Uruushou, thanks so much for the links!

Oh, crud, now I get it! Now I know why Sianna got so ticked at Herla, I thought Herla was flirting with Sabastien earlier, but now I realize it was probably Gustiro. Oops! Herla’s over bold ways get her into trouble once again! LOL!

Herla is a terrible flirt, she is drawn to any stag, especially one with big antlers or wearing the monarch butterfly pelt. Flirt, flirt, flirt!

Haha, man I always get the Kabuki pelt and the antelope pelt mixed up, doh! Plus picots are always all wonky for me since I play version 3.31. Herla be careful? Pwleeese! That’s a joke!

Man, sort feeling sorry for poor Sorog now. Herla would kiss it and make it better, but he has her sort of freaked out.

Lol, they are indeed pretty similar! And you're right, what am I saying?! XD

Aw...! ;_; He is a stubborn fellow for sure, and he is terrified of being touched via nuzzling, sniffing, etc. He tends to not be aggressive around does unless they provoke him, like Sianna. Even if they do anger him, however, he will not attack them...unless they happen to be like Ravus, who has huge antlers and is very much formidable! XD

Well, he won't necessarily attack is he's touched. He just runs away a distance and might lower his antlers in a warning to get the point across. There is no way he'd harm Herla in any case, though; she is much too petite, pretty and defenseless. Truly a damsel in distress!

Indeed, the poor dear. Of course Sorog does not know this; he's just acting out of impulse. Hopefully, she will realize that he means her no harm.

Mm...isn't it wonderful how playing a character just brings about this new life? I never thought any of my characters would go anywhere, but I am so emotionally connected to Liam and I have a deep interest in Sorog. Herla's intentions are sweet, but very sad; I do hope that she will find love, and that she won't have to be afraid anymore. Poor girl... Liam'll have to bring her some flowers because he's such a sap. <3

Sorry about suddenly leaving.
But when I feel I/my character are being mocked, I get so angry I know it won't be fun for me to play anymore. Usually I tend to avoid those kind of interactions, but it seemed to come to me this time.
Oh well, maybe Herla and Gehirn can see eachother some other time. ♥

No need to apologise dear! If I notice I get angry I leave, it's only to make sure I don't get provoked further. Usually people mean no harm, I suppose.
Though I guess there are just things I don't appreciate.

Have fun at work! ♥

It was nice to meet Euyru!

No problem! I've been in and out as well. Herla went and watched some stags flower spar. Got tired just watching them!

Oh my gosh, he’s completely adorable. Herla was trying to protect him from Slender Man. She is NEVER aggressive but she actually charged Slender Man and reared at him because she thought he was getting too close to Ciel. And how horrible he was injured. I’ve never met Six, I don’t think. Sounds scary too!

Judging by the multiple cases of lurking that I've seen regarding Herla. I can assume that it's likely that The Slender Man has targeted her. I'd suggest keeping an eye out, but as of now, he doesn't seem to be intent on harming her.

Might as well place a track on this here beauty. I would imagine Ravenflight would get along with Herla

Thanks parrotsnpineapple, I don’t think I’ve net any of your characters yet.

Nopje, it was nice to meet your Waarhijd, Herla was a little bit nervous, trying to keep Sorog from getting too aggressive and attacking the large stag that was with your doe.
