The silverine hind had

The silverine hind had settled down as well after having her stomach full of blueberries. It was always an impossible quest for her to eat them without getting her coat even a little dirty. Blue spots on her legs and lips were her next mission, clean them up.

"They have grown a lot since then. Feisty little twins." Her voice was gentle as she spoke. They were her pride and joy, her salvation. No matter all the heart ache and pain they had caused to her before they were born she could not have asked for more. They were perfect to her.

Her blood reds directed to the buck beside her she spoke again, "How has life treated you lately?"

The Eld’s deer was hopelessly

The Eld’s deer was hopelessly dirty, as usual. He rarely made an effort to groom beyond removing strong-smelling things which may have cued predators in to his location.

He seems appreciative of her successful pregnancy, but he does not comment on it aloud. It does not seem to demand words.

The old hart—too old, he sometimes supposed—thought for a while. “Things have been alright. Very little has happened even though so much time has passed.” This was mostly his own doing, as he pursued as mundane a life as possible. He preferred it that way.

He thought to add in his most recent preoccupation. “I’ve been looking for a charge of mine. She has never been missing since she was born but I have not caught her scent anywhere in a long time.”

Unlike the hart the hind

Unlike the hart the hind preferred to keep her fur well groomed and clean. Her pure white coat demanded it as it looked easily messy and dirty. She did her best to clean the blueberries off and managing quite well.

"Sometimes it is better that way; it equals safety." The hind was not one to seek for action or drama, she preferred a quiet lifestyle.

"Fear not, nature protects its own I bet she is doing quite alright no matter where she is." A pause. "But if you wish I may assist you on searching her."

The stone balancer did not

The stone balancer did not envy her for her pelt, while though it was strikingly beautiful, it surely had given her much trouble over her life, and more than simply in its upkeep. He admired her strength, to be as successful as she was. He has no doubt that if he had been born that way, the predators would have long ago done away with him. He watched her groom with a distinct air of respect.

He does not mean to be dire, or contrary, or confrontational; he is simply honest, perhaps too honest. “I know too many dead deer to trust their lives to nature alone.” He knows it is futile, that the world will have what it wants of its inhabitants—but he cannot simply allow the fates to go unchecked. If it was their will to take Stria from him, they would have to take him too.

“I would appreciate that.” He muses to himself for a moment, wondering what to ask of her. He does not consider that he may be imposing—it is in his nature to do what is asked of him, and to ask of others what he needs. And he needs to find her.

“Her name is Stria. I don’t know if you’ve met her, but you’d remember her if you had. The red deer knows her, and you may have met in a herd some time ago. I doubt you have seen her recently. She tends to keep… Unwholesome company." He smiles to himself, an expression most obvious in his eyes. “She has just recently passed her first year. I myself sleep for whole seasons, but every time I wake, I find her or a recent trace of her. Until recently.”

He wonders how to describe her. He does not know how one does such things. “She stands larger than I now, much larger, and she is a strange colour and pattern. She reminds me of these berries, or these berries remind me of her.” He hopes that will suffice. He knows he is just rambling now.

“I suppose, if you see her, tell her I am looking for her.”

It would have been a battle

It would have been a battle of life and death in her life more than she would be willing to admit. Was it because of her colors or not, she was not sure. Only her ears flick carefully as she listens to the buck speak and as he mentions the nature's way of taking what it desires makes a smirk appear upon her features. The buck was a smart one and definitely had seen a lot in his days not to be naive enough to fall for hopes only. Hope, however, is what keeps her going when apart from her offspring deep down knowing that they could be taken by the nature at any given time.

As the buck goes on with his description of his friend the silverine hind faintly recalls seeing someone fit to the description play with her youngest fawns. Or at least one particularly energetic doe with rather unusual patterns had been seen with them. To her she had been a figure in the distance, pleasant company and definitely a good caretaker of her fawns when she had needed to rest.

"I will most definitely keep an eye out for her and let her know of your concerns if I meet her." She speaks with a tone ever so soft and gentle, nodding subtly in agreement. She needs to be found.

Alive.

It's totes cool if you wanna

It's totes cool if you wanna continue, btw. I just, like, ran out of stuff to talk about, lmao. (I'm a plebeian. also, sorry for the wait.)

Also, I view this as the conversation they had while sitting together, meaning eventually they were joined by Rhona then Red before Kauna left. So that's my context, lmao.

---

He’s surprised when she responds; it implies that she actually surmised who he was talking about from his description, which he hadn’t expected.

He also hadn’t expected to run out of things to discuss so quickly. Normally, he is far too talkative for his own good. He supposes the worry preoccupies him.

“Thank you.” He is looking out into the Forest, but it seems as if he is looking through it, at something very far away.

I've been shit scarce lately

I've been shit scarce lately cause my internship at a hospital started again and that's way the longass wait. Opened my laptop for the first time in a week lol

-------

The hind wasn't the one to spend too many words, she actually enjoyed the silent company more often than one talking non-stop. A conversation here and there was nice, however. The hind glanced at the buck from the corner of her blood red eye noticing the still existing concern in his presence. She leaned towards him and gave him a reassuring nudge to his neck.

I hope your internship goes

I hope your internship goes well!!! Laughing out loud No worries for long waits, I feed on long waits.

---

He stirred from his revelry, blinking in surprise at first, then was reassured. He leaned subtly toward her, grateful for her gesture. He made a point of attempting to mask his concern then, but when his eyes opened and he again looked off through the trees, his expression was still pensive, as if he was expecting—hoping—to see someone come through them. But, of course, he was.

He made a better effort of acting nonchalant by nuzzling at berries and chewing his cud. Though not a well-mannered thing by some Forest denizen's standards, he did not give it a second thought.

He thought to ask the hind a dozen things, but decided against each one. Settling into a more comfortable position, he glanced to her fur to check her progress on getting it clean once more.

She is keeping a mindful distance, but definitely eyeing him curiously while sunbathing. It is surprisingly rare to find fellow ferals around so she is sure enjoying his presence. c:
