Roleplaying / Re: [PRP]Unknown Herbs (Taking in Sunlight x Inferno of the Sea)

« on: February 26, 2021, 09:48:32 PM »

When the sunset-colored buck beamed at her, his long ears twitched lightly, "Inferno of the Sea," He repeated her name, letting it roll around his mouth like a sweet berry. "A beautiful name for such a beautiful doe, it does not surprise me one bit that the MotherFather would gift you with such a name. Now!" He pondered, turning his attention to the Swamp behind him. He bit his lip in thought, "Something I like, you said? Hmm..."

He took a few steps one way, "I could take you to the orchards, perhaps," He murmured before turning the other way, "Or maybe to the clover beds? Those are awfully tasty. Or maybe... What if... Hmm."

Taking in Sunlight frowned slightly, his brow furrowed. He turned to the ocean-fire doe, "Well, Miss Sealight, may I call you that? I came up with it, just now, in my mind, but feel free to object! Anyway, We have a small problem."

He gestured up at the climbing sun that loomed behind the branches above them, "There isn't enough daylight to show you all that the swamp has to offer. Unless, of course..." He became a little shy at this, a sheepish smile playing upon his lips. Was he blushing? "Unless you wouldn't mind staying for a few days? If you want to, of course! I hope you don't mind my asking."

Roleplaying / Re: [PRP] Winter is Coming [ An Unloved Flower x Wilted Branches ]

« on: February 26, 2021, 09:26:58 PM »

If the buck looked closely, he would find Flower to be incredibly easy to read. At his question, there was a soft thump as her tail fell. A twitch to her ear. A flat look in her eyes as she stared at the ground. But there was no hesitation in her response.

"A tribe does not necessarily guarantee one's safety," Her voice was low, almost inaudible in the crisp breeze. She made a face, as though she remembered an awful taste. It fell away when she remembered the buck sitting before her.

The tawny doe's ears drooped defeatedly as the fish landed heavily before her. She bowed her head, and murmured, "Thank you. I haven't... quite gotten the hang of hunting quite yet."

The sun was setting later and later, he noted. Winter was, at last, releasing the swamp from her grip. Around him, the steady drip, drip, drip of melting frost and bits of snow echoed. Snow! Could you believe it? It really had been a cold winter, hadn't it? A long one, too. The Totoma buck shifted in his nest, wondering silently if his daughter would return soon. Stays Behind had been reluctant to leave, unsurprisingly, but well, Laughing Fox had been away for a while and their worry was shared between them. His icy daughter had insisted he stay, no need for him to travel in such weather.

And so, here he was. He chuffed irritably. He wasn't old by any stretch of the word. And his knee only acted up occasionally, nothing to worry about, surely--

It was then that the wind shifted its position and a new scent caught his attention. His ears pricked up and for a moment, he shivered. He felt eyes, hungry eyes upon him. Shaking it off, Yellow Belly raised his head and turned to look in the direction of the female.

"Hello?" He called out.

Roleplaying / Re: [B] New Horizons [Seaglow x Watch] <GAIA TRANSFER>

« on: February 26, 2021, 08:30:33 PM »

The old stag simply smiled. It was a warm, knowing smile. The smile of a father of many, many generations. "You do what you must. And everything that you can." He nodded, "Be there. Be the guiding light for your kith and you kin. Mistakes will be made and much will be learned," The stag's eyes shown brightly and, if the buck looked closely, he could see the silhouettes of playing colts and fillies. If the dark buck tried to count them, he'd find it difficult for all their romping around. The sound of laughter filled the air, distant and yet right there. Watch laughed, lifting his leg as a shadow-kin danced beneath it. "Parenthood is hard," he warned, "But it is also the greatest experience a kin can ever have."

The stag stood tall and his eyes dimmed. The silhouettes faded, as did the laughter, but still the smile remained and with it was a look of pride and reassurance. "I believe in you, son. And so do they." He lowered his head, tucking his shout under the wing of the crane on his back and plucked a single feather. He placed it at the hooves of the young father and spoke, "May your children be as thoughtful as their father, ever thinking of others instead of themselves. May they be wise enough to know to look for help when needed. May they be strong and healthy, and," He smiled, looking at the buck, "May they be loved."

With that, he raised his head and turned to leave, tossing one last remark over his shoulder before becoming once again the bird with flame-filled eyes, "Fear not, young one. You will make a great father."

Something about this male helped Seaglow to feel relaxed. His kind understanding and mysterious knowledge was something to be admired.

He listened intently to the other's wise words. When they finally registered, however, the buck's throat tightened and his heartbeat quickened. He wanted to deny the male's words. To say there must have been some sort of mistake. But he had heard of these creatures before. They were never wrong. "Childbearing...?" He repeated the word in disbelief. He had certainly known of the possible outcomes of their actions, but to hear that they had come to fruition seemed surreal. He looked to the wise buck for guidance. "But what can I do? What can be done? How can I help her? And the ch--" He gulped uneasily before clearing his throat. "The children?"

As the Sun Burns watched with warm, patient eyes as the buck's pride swelled a moment before he reeled himself back in. Watch's restful smile held its ground. Respect self-control; perhaps this buck was more mature than he had originally believed.

"Frigid Vow, you say? Well, with a name such as that, I am sure whatever is holding her is very important indeed." He breathed deep and slow, letting out a held breath in a quiet sigh. Important indeed, he repeated inwardly. He could smell it now; the truth was obvious now. "Quite sure, in fact." He paused for a good long while, "Life or death important, although, I am more sure about the life aspect of the ordeal. A beautiful thing, childbearing." His smile became more of a grin. This was different from what he was used to; does almost always knew they were going to be mothers.

The buck stared at the other in awe. He had heard of such occurrences, but had never witnessed such a thing himself. Seaglow opened his mouth to snap at the elder buck for calling him a child, but quickly shut it. His temper was ferocious, but this male had earned the right to say such things. Biting his lip, he sighed. Perhaps he had been a little impatient in waiting.

He watched the other in awe, and fumbled over his words when the question registered in his mind. "Doe? What do--" He cleared his throat. "I may have been... Waiting on someone." After a few moments, he sighed. "Her name is Frigid Vow. She was supposed to be here some time ago. I'm unsure what may have kept her, but I'm sure it was important."

'No?' The disembodied voice called out. He spread his wings, flapping the powerful appendages slowly, gracefully. They ripped like waves of feathers as his eyes shone bright like the setting sun and then, there was no bird, only a stag, standing tall and proud where the bird had once been. The old buck grinned at the young one, "Perhaps not with your hooves, child. Your mind most definitely was."

He stepped forward, his blue markings on white shimmered and rippled with the muscles underneath, as though they were truly made of water. His mane tossed in the breeze as he lifted his head with a knowing smile, "Tell me, what is her name? The doe." He could have been completely wrong, but something told him otherwise. The smell of the doe on this buck's fur, for instance.

Seaglow looked about wildly at the sudden voice, but the direction it came from was unclear. It was almost as if it were... In his head? But how? He thought for a few moments as his gaze covered the marsh. Was he losing it?

Uncomfortable, the buck chose to call out. "Uh. Hello?" He continued to scan the area, looking for another kin. He completely missed the crane not far off, never thinking twice about its presence. "And... If I'm not just talking to myself, I wasn't pacing." He chuckled at the idea. Him? Impatiently walking the ground, waiting on some doe? Ha! Surely that wasn't the case...
