Welcome to Gaia! ::

Bravest at Dusk paced back and forth at a nervous trot, lifting his hooves high with each step. He had wanted to be a father - or at the very least to impress a lovely doe - but his recent success had come as a rather unexpected surprise to him, and he was no longer certain he was ready. Of course he could always just leave the lady and the eggs to their fate, as it was not unheard of, but ... Bravest hoped he could do a little more for them. To see Faded's dear face again, and hopefully earn himself a kind place in her heart.

Or at the very least, he could instruct his children to think a little before they acted. The next generation could be an improvement upon their father's rash bravado.

Bravest turned to face the other kin when she spoke to him, canting his head slightly as he took a moment to snap out of his own thoughts and properly process her words. His feet trotted him a few more steps closer to her before the acha stopped a polite distance away.

"I... I am alright," he replied finally, with a nervous flip of his tufted tail. "I mean- I will be alright. I'm wonderful, actually." The buck nudged at the grass with one hoof, and he laughed awkwardly before blurting out, "I spent some time with a lovely doe and now I've gone and given her eggs and now I'm afraid I shouldn't have. Thought it all out better first, planned it, you know?"

Bravest twisted his head back, raising one hind foot to scratch behind his ear. "I thought, eggs, we can just lay them and leave them and they're fine on their own, right? But ... no, I don't think I can do that now. Now that they're real and not just a possibility. You know?"
