Whenever it was desired, no

Whenever it was desired, no one will see him. At night, The Red Deer was in his element, a mere shadow among shadows, only very much alive.

The first time this night he decides to be visible was when he walked through the clearing and into the dimly lit ruins. He stepped with the greatest care, and made not a sound.

The stag then suddenly stopped, before him was a broken pillar, or what could also be interpreted as a performers stall. To the Hart, it was like a stone stump. And it was also the first place he encountered a very peculiar creature some many months ago.

Virgil had come with a gift, of sorts. Held carefully between his teeth was a crimson flower; a poppy to be more precise.
The poppy was a symbol of love, death, friendship and chance to the Guardian.

He lowered his head and tucked it carefully beside the broken pillar. There it was more likely to last rather than be trampled by playful fawns.

At this stage, Virgil doubts the return of the Riddler. This is a parting gift, and a thank you for the times they had.
