It also took a while of mindless grinning before the buck queried with a raised brow, "...yes?"

"You're pregnant," Distant Thunder said with great enthusiasm.

"No, I mean you and the doe that you laid with," he said with great cheer, "congratulations!"

"Which?" Rasp said, his voice raising in genuine bafflement.

"Oh," and the kiokote deflated somewhat, "er...I'm not privy to that information, but I am aware that your..uh...seed has taken...root...oh it's odd to say this to a buck in this scenario."

"Oh," Rasp said, mildly disgusted by the manner of which he decided to convey this information, but also cooly blithe, "frankly, I don't give a damn."

"You should," Thunder said with slight menace to his voice, and much menace in the way his large frame advanced towards the buck, "give a damn about my time and effort finding you."

Rasp was a callous buck, but not a foolish one. His next line was considerably lighter, and more charming.

"Ah, then would you be so kind as to give me your favour?"

Distant Thunder turned to the skies and called out to the Motherfather, feeling a little like he should tattle on this Bad Buck, "GREAT MOTHERFATHER, PLEASE GRANT THIS BUCK'S CHILDREN HEALTH AND GOODNESS, TO SURVIVE HAVING THIS POMPOUS ARSE AS A SIRE"

He backed down with a smile that was similar, but distinctly different from his first.
"You're welcome!"
