((Yay I can post now! ^.^
@Kyugima: I did the same thing, I had to go back and edit XD
Hate it when I do that, I'll even be telling myself to remember but then just like that *snaps fingers* I forget 0.o))
Ashok peered cautiously at the surrounding trees, head moving steadily as he took his bearings. Ears perked forward then backward, repeating the process a few times while he breathed in the early morning dew. Good, it seems clear enough... The stag stepped into the little clearing, relieved that the other male deer weren't about. He had just barely avoided one of them further back, he really didn't want to come face-to-face with one of them at the moment. Not that he ever looked forward to seeing them. Still, Ashok was craving a little company, it had been awhile since he spoke to anyone and though being alone was sometimes good the silence ate at his self conscious.
The young stag dug a hoof into the ground, moving it back and forth as he worked on digging up some roots. Gently he lowered his head to grip the treat between his teeth, tugging and pulling until it came free and began to chew. The long antlers on his head made it a little difficult to perform this task which was why he had to move carefully, but after being with the crown for so long Ashok was of course used to it and hardly noticed. This was a good thing as he needed to raise his head to it's full height to check his surroundings after each pull, not wanting someone unwanted to sneak up on him. Each time this process was done everything still seemed clear, an observation that both relieved and disappointed him.
Perhaps I should head toward the meadow, he thought absently, bending his head for another bite. It's usually crowded this time of day. Though that could mean I'll have to run into one of those bullies... If I keep out of their sight and draw as less attention to myself as possible, though, perhaps they'll leave me alone.
((Just something to get things started. I'll make a post with Nimai after everyone else does so I know where all of the characters are at, so then I can have her meet someone if I can :3
Also, I hope the time reference in the post was okay! I'm not quite sure for Roe and Red deer though I suspect it's similar, but for White Tailed deer they tend to only be up and about when evening is approaching, night time, and early morning. By midday/afternoon they're usually asleep because it's less dangerous, though this is usually because of humans sometimes showing up which is different here cause there aren't as many here. So I don't know if it's different here haha. What's the season by the way..?))
