Welcome to Gaia! ::

The buck rolled his shoulders back as he stretched out his legs, the footing on the rocky ground not quick precarious so much as it was lumpy and uncomfortable. He didn't recall laying down in that particular spot so much as he remembered wanting to rest, something had been bothering him and now, he just wanted to relax.

A bumpy, lumpy rock covered ground was anything but.

Still, he'd gotten a small rest and now the smell of morning was crisp in the cool air. Refreshing, his gave his head shake, morning dew sprinkling off his coat. The birds were quite, but then they often were just before dawn truly broke. But as light began to filter through the mist and trees, Blood Runner looked around him, curious. He'd been feeling a bit 'off' in the past few days, but then he didn't have much reason to. It just felt like something was happening.
Not all change was good after all.

A clattered of hooves on rock he made his way over to a nearby stream, dipping his head down to enjoy the cool water.

Blood Runner looked at the the other buck, tail flicking up as he let out a loud snort. "Sneaking up on others is a fast way to get injured. I'd advise against it." Standing up, chest puffed out Blood Runner scanned the other, judging.

"Should I just charge next time I find I've been snuck up upon?"

"I would charge at a fool who thinks its fun to sneak up on others. And what illusions? Everything looks normal to me." Blood Runner snorted befor he began walking along the bank heading upstream, the fog lifting slightly with the warming sun.

Blood Runner stopped to turn and face the other buck. "Everyone is different. And I hope that was supposed to be a compliment." A step closer, and leaves crunched underfoot. The guardian was somewhat aggressive enough in the waking world, and here, it was just easier to say it rather than flat out charging.

A snort, Blood runner jumper over a small ditch. "Better headstrong than a fool. I spend my time dealing with life's realities. I don't often to gallivanting off for whatever reason." Unless it was a nice doe. He was rather fond of a few does that he encountered.
