((everyone's rp's here are private, but i think orps can be posted here o.O))
Nightmare-of-roses walked slowly through the swamp-forest. Mud oozed from beneath her hooves with each step. In her mouth, she carried a red rose, gently nestled between the two rows of teeth. Her golden eyes stared straight ahead as she passed tree after tree. She reached a nest of thorns, much like the ones that adorned her hind legs and lower back. The ground was slightly higher here and much drier. Dirt rather than mud and puddles.
Her tail swished against the floor, sweeping dirt in little clouds that dissipated into the night air. She sampled this air, clear and fresh. It had just rained and it made the air seem new and cold. There was a break in the nettles that she approached, and it led to a small clearing in the center of the brambles.
Knealing down to rest in the night air, she knew she wasn't actually tired. She simply wanted to take a break from walking. All she heard were crickets and the occasional night bird crooning in the dark. She paid no mind to the trail of hoofprints she left or the tell tail signs outside her briar nest. She knew no one in their right mind would bother her here. She knew that....did she? Stubbornly, she ignored the little voice that told her there were braver souls.

Hearing rustling brambles and hooves sliding across the dirt, her eyes darted quickly to the entrance of her nest. A sort of annoyance festered inside her as she dropped her rose to the floor and brought her head down with it. Using her hooves, she moved it here and there until it was woven into her hair. Her eyes never left the entrance, and sure enough, an ice-blue buck came out of the tunnel of thorns.
Instantly, she took to studying him. His gray markings and blue scales. The odd marking on his flank and back that resembled a crow's wing with a few less feathers. It was a strange thing to bear, but no stranger than the blood that permanently stained her coat, and the thorns that could never be removed from her legs.
She snorted at the buck, who seemed to be staring at her. "Who are you and what are you doing here in my nest?" she said plainly. Her voice was soft and deep, but there was a sort of sting with each articulated syllable. She tensed her leg muscles, ready to act at any moment if he turned out to be hostile. Her eyes darted to the left and back to him. Then to the right and returning to the light blue buck. No escape save for the one behind him. She hummed quietly to herself, thinking she would have to fight in order to escape if he attacked.

When the doe snorted at him Shadowed Moon snapped back to reality. He became aware he was staring at the doe and suddenly felt a little awkward. As the doe started speaking he listened intently to her voice, the sharpness it held at certain moments was fascinating. The buck paused for a moment before realizing he should be answering her question. "I'm Shadowed Moon." The young buck's voice seemed to rest between the high and low ranges in such a way it sounded like both. After his initial statement he quickly glanced behind him before answering her next question. "Sorry, I didn't mean to invade your nesting area. I was exploring and stumbled upon your tracks."
Shadowed Moon paused, and looking extremely awkward, he glanced towards the exit again. "I mean you no harm, I had no idea you were in here." As though contemplating what to do he remembered the plan he had come up with in case he did find someone else. "I can leave if you want me too, I don't want to interrupt your sleep or anything." He sounded slightly unsure of what he was saying, like he didn't know how to react in a situation like this. He hadn't really expected to run into anyone, let alone such an amazing doe.
((In cause you don't understand my explanation of his voice, because I'm not sure how to explain it, he kinda talks with a higher pitched voice but in a deep tone if that makes any sense... sweatdrop ))

Jumping Frog, too energetic to think of sleep, wanders through the swamp. As she walks, sometimes jumping - and falling over herself - she takes in all the sights. Of particular interest to her are the croaking frogs and buzzing night insects. Letting these tiny creatures be her guide, Jumping Frog allows herself to be led farther from her home area than is normal.
Spotting a bright orange frog she ambles over to it. As she expects it hops away, and on a whim she hops too, following it in it's main mode of movement. So focused on the small critter, Jumping Frog fails to notice the small incline they are moving up, or the voices of two other Kimeti.
She jumps again after the little frog, this time though she puts a little too much spring in the action. This causes her to over shoot her expected landing area, and land in a sprawl of legs right in front of the other two. Untangling herself and sitting up, Jumping Frog looks around for the frog, still not registering the other two Kimeti.

At the touch she jumps up, startled, trying to scramble away in the process. This does nothing more then dumps her over on her side, however. Growling at herself, Jumping Frog once again pulls herself up. She mutters to herself, her face showing she's very close to tears. "Stupid, stupid, stupid! Always falling over stuff, or trippi..." Finally Jumping Frog realizes she's not alone. Quickly she pulls herself together, not wanting anyone - especially strangers - to think she is overly emotional. "Oh, he wasn't prey, I was just having some fun hopping with him. When I wasn't falling over, anyway." She gives herself a shake, hoping to rid her fur of most of the dirt and twigs her falls had gathered. "Anyway, I'm Jumping Frog."
