Welcome to Gaia! ::

She had been told to stay, and stay she would. From Dawn had told her to wait for him and that meant the job he had taken on was destined to be particularly unpleasant. She had seen it all before of course and she was always content to be there with him, supporting him with her silent presence. What he did, what they did was necessary for survival. But on one occasion she had turned her face away, some part of her soul rebelling at watching the brutal scene unfold. It had not been missed.

To Dusk rested beside the tiny, trickling stream and watched the dragonflies dart past.

While the doe was not being particularly watchful, once the buck began his approach, it was hard to miss him. His movement was caught in the corner of her eye and she turned her head to watch as he made his way over. Her gaze upon him was patient, thoughtful and not the least bit alarmed. She simply waited, barely moving a muscle except for the flick of an ear or the swish of her tail. When he spoke, she studied him curiously.

“How bold.” To Dusk said after a long moment. A look of amusement slipped across her delicate features. “I am not troubled at all. You misread me.” Though in truth, whenever her twin was not there she felt incomplete and her thoughts had not exactly been in a happy place. Not that the buck needed to know any of that.

She was not unfamiliar with that cold look to his gaze and she remained unperturbed. To Dusk did not offer any further conversation, simply kept watching him.
