Welcome to Gaia! ::

Viktor looked up in the sunny sky through a small hole in the forest canopy. The sun was high in the sky and heated the forest floor below making the nettles dry and crackling under hoof. The life in the Homewood did not seem to mind at all though and birds sang happy summer songs. Shacking his head at the purposeless noise, Viktor started walking again.

Today Viktor was patrolling the central area of the Homewood. There was not much activity in the center of the Homewood but one never new where a hero would be needed. His eyes scanned that woods with a glare searching every corn and every bush but nothing exciting popped out to him. At less not until the loud thud sounded not far form where Viktor was.

Racing out Viktor hoped for adventure or a predator to chase off or maybe even a doe/buck in distress. As he burst through a bush he was not at all disappointed. Just under a pine tree lay a grey splash buck completely knocked out. Viktor looks all around for the culprit but only found a few pine cones laying around the buck. Looking up into the tree Viktor still had no idea what could have caused such a scene.

Being that the coast was clear Viktor turn his attention back to the buck. Looking around the buck he did not see any signs of externally injuries which was a good thing. Bending down he genially nudged the buck with his muzzle. "Hello are you ok?" Stepping back Viktor waited to see the buck would wake up.

Viktor watch the fallen buck with a worried and caring expression. With great relief, Viktor released the breath he had been holding in. "Funny I did not even know I was holding it." He thinks with a puzzled look but that thought is quietly forgotten as the grey buck started move around. He watch as the buck awaken more and more, Viktor is glad to see that there seems to be no permeate damage as of now.

Still standing a little way away, Viktor watches each emotion cross the bucks face; fear, confusion, wonder, and realization. "This buck is smart and quick witted." His muse says with an admiring nudge to Viktor. Viktor rolled his eyes mentally at his muse but he was right that kind of thought process was hard to find in noul. Or maybe Viktor had never noticed it before. Either way something about this buck peeked his interest but he could not put a hoof on the feeling or what the interest could be.

As the buck made his way to a standing position, Viktor watched on bated breather once again holding his breath. The poor buck wibbled and wobbled this way and that falling right into Viktor. The weight of the buck was light and easy completely different form Viktors heavy muscular body which made it easy for him to whole the buck and himself up.

It was the contact of the small grey buck resting on him that sent a warm and electric vibration through his hide. The energy was a sensation Viktor was unable to describe and very surprising. With a sharp breath in he cleared his throat and said "Maybe we should sit for a little longer?" With their current position Viktor knew it would be easier for the buck to sit down with his support on the way down. But he wanted to wait for the bucks response because moving to fast down might have a bad effect as well.

Viktor felt more then saw a nod form the buck and took that as an ok to move down. Which gentleness that was not Viktor's nor he laid down slowing as the buck followed him. Once the buck was safely to the grounded again, Viktor thought maybe he should introduce himself. Clearing his throat again he spook in his normal deep voice. "My name is Viktor." It was not much but he really was not good at the small talk thing that does in the past said he needed to work on.
