a doe or two glanced behind them and frost questioned what it was but said nothing.Another doe asked her "why arnt you in a herd any stag would probably love you?" which frost promptly replied "most stags ive met are to head strong and overall full of it" she shook a leaf off her neck before answering a few more questions and replying to fawns about her travels. |

He could only wonder where she had came from, he had never seen a doe like her in this forest, but her scent definitely was the same he had picked up near the stream yesterday. Would she stay here for a long time and where was she heading to? Yalaktinos had to admit that the doe was a pure mystery for him. |

a small female fawn with a very light brown coat came up to her "you have even lighter fur than me!" she squeaked "yes I do" frost chuckled gently poking the fawn with her muzzle "I'm possibly lighter in color than half the deer in these lands" she chuckled then her ear flicked sensing someone else watching her and she turned her head.there a large stag was quietly watching her she locked eyes with him for a moment before replying to something the fawn had said. |

"Good morning, miss," Yalaktinos eventually said dipping his head being very careful of not hurting the doe or the other members of his herd with his antlers. It wouldn't hurt to be polite at least. Besides it would be very odd to just stand there like a statue, his late mother would have chased him out of the pack had she been witnessing that kind of behavior, especially towards the ladies. |

"good morning" she replied dipping her head noticably wary of the stag due to previous encounters.Before she said anything else the fawn poked her shed almost forgotten what the fawn had been saying but remembered after a moment."right sorry,I was born in a herd yes my father was the lead stag and my mother was a very light brown like you,but I think the others were uncomfortable with a bright target in their herd so I left much to my mother and fathers disapproval" she chuckled remembering her fathers grumpy scowl when she told him. the fawn was now laying down listening to frosts stories in her adventures "and you managed all aloneee?" the fawn asked in awe."yes its not that bad actually very peaceful though I have to be careful when I sleep" she replied calmly "how did you avoid the wolves and coyotes?" asked another doe (are their other males in your herd or is it just doe's? ik that in some things there are but in the real world I'm pretty sure most herds consist of only 1 male and some doe's) |

He didn't interrupt her nor chastised the young fawn for interrupting the adults conversation. Instead the stag stayed silent and listened the doe's words closely. How would he react, if his daughter would suddenly announce that she would leave the herd? Obviously he wouldn't be pleased about that and he knew that should that ever happen, it would take a long time from him to come to terms with that. He was the one who preferred his family staying close, even though he also willingly and voluntarily distanced himself from his herd. Yalaktinos knew that even though it was pleasant to listen her voice and stories about her travels, he would soon need to leave his herd again. His territory needed to be constantly patrolled both for the threats and to show his dominance. Even though things were peaceful now, it didn't mean that it had always been that way. His body, especially his head still had some scars from the time he had had to fight for his position when an another stag had challenged him. |

For a moment Yalaktinos' gaze became stern when the fawn started to whine. "Do remember your manners," he reminded the fawn before turning his attention back to the almost white doe. "Feel free to grazeΒ on the same meadow my herd seems to prefer, if you wish. Also, you may have a drink at the stream, if you'd like," he said his voice soft and gentle. He shifted his weight a little and for a moment his ears pressed tightly against his neck before he forced them forward again to hide his pain. "You are free to continue your travels, if you wish, however, I wouldn't object, if you choose to stay within the herd for a while longer," Yalaktinos said closing his eyes for a moment willing the pain to pass. He chose to say nothing more before he walked away from the fawn and the doe heading back into the thickets to begin yet another patrol around the forest. |

after she got a drink frost allowed the fawn to bring her to the grazing grounds.Staying a bit apart from the herd she started eating listening patiently to the fawns constant talking she didn't seem to mind though."what's your name little one?" she asked when the fawn paused."oh my name is Lilith" she replied "what's your name?" she asked "well my name is frost" frost replied her ear flicked."ooooof your name is so pretty!" Lilith said happily and frost laughed softly "thank you,I saw your father but where is your mother?" frost asked. Lilith frowned and her ears fell "she was attacked my a pack of wolves before my father or yalaktinos our stag could help her" she said sadly.frost lifted her head "I'm sorry about that but I can sorta relate,my brother was killed by wolves as well probably a different type though" frost nuzzled Lilith and she perked up a bit and minutes later they were talking about the best type of food laying in the grass. |

The male, however, froze on his tracks when he heard the humans talking and then heard their dogs parking. Despite his instinctsΒ telling him otherwise, Yalaktinos walked slowly closer and closer until he had a clear view of what was happening even though he was still hidden. The stag's eyes widened. The humans had taken their strange metal pipes out of that even more strange box where they all would sit with their dogs. The dogs were already wearing harnesses and were sniffing the forest eagerly. This could mean only on thing. His calculations must have been wrong and the season had already started. |
