Dorcheira paced franticly back and forth, seeming to prefer stomping the grass to eating it. Anlatch was coming, she could feel it in her veins, if not as strongly as the stags. She saw the males test eachother frequently, egging for the time to come. Their graceful dance of parring one anothers lethal antlers took encore after encore before the gazing does. And it disgusted her. She had been seeing a fallen stag by the name of Bryce. He seemed to like her well enough; time and time again she told him it was impossible. She tried to quell her torn heart; what fate to have to try and choose between Bryce and ever having a child.
" Hern help me," she groaned.

Pride pranced around the meadow proudly, posturing and showing off to any who happened to be in the aria. Its not like he needed to impress to the females, since he met Hitanie, though he always enjoyed showing other just how great he was.
Thought the sun was more impressive for the gold fur along his back, he was well aware that even with out the sun, it only enhanced the brilliance of the black that dominated most of his body.
He paused for a moment. Standing tall, starting to strut grinning with his usually charming grin and shaking his antlers pompously, wishing for another older male to spar with.

Oh great, Dorcheira thought,Another cocky male.......
It didn't help her mood that her best friend, Raven, was not around. No doubt flirting with some boy fox. She lay her head on her hooves, glowering. That stag better not come any closer.....

(oh oh can I bring Jasper in XD or is this deer only?)
Now moving on to displaying his impressive speed, he would run as fast at he could in random directions. Stopping as suddenly as he could, only to shoot off in another direction. Standing tall and proud as he did so.
Eventually disappearing off into the forest for a while, and when it seemed he would not return, a smooth elegant yet masculine voice spoke up behind Dorcheira
“my my, you don’t seem to be enjoying yourself”
Pride was standing giving the Hind a charming smile.

(foxes are welcome!)
Dorcheira's fur bristled, and she whipped her head around. Upon seeing the outrider, she groaned inwardly," No, I'm not." She stood up and turned to face him, she held her head high to meet his gaze, " Did you want something?" Stay calm Dorcheira, she thought, don't snap at him.....

Pride blinked at her sudden reaction, but keeping his cool he raised his head up higher grinning down at her. She seemed on the edge.
“How about a beautiful smile from a lovely Hind”
he lowered is head slightly to level himself better wit her and cocked his head to the side slightly.
“I’m not doing my job right if Hind are unhappy. What’s bothering you?”
Jasper yawned wide, blinking uninterested, watching as the deer in the meadow below pranced around and did what deer did.
It made no sense to him. And he thought they looked rather silly. It had been a good day for him so far. Caught a rabbit and had a very good meal, belly full, and feeling very content he decided to amuse himself by watching the big hoofed creatures.
Much to his disappointment. They where not that entertaining at the moment.

Dorcheira supressed an eye twitch at the 'smile' comment and tried to look unfazed. He was just doing his job," If you must know, it's because Anlatch is coming soon. You're well known in this herd, Pride, but myself..... not as much," she smirked slightly, more to disguise her pain than anything else," You've probebly never even heard of Dorcheira." She turned from his gaze a moment, biting her tounge to keep from speaking. She failed," If a stag loves a hind, but cannot sire a child, and it seems impossible that they could be together, what is the hind to do?" she asked abrubtly. She winced imedately; she was unused to letting her emotions getting the best of her.

He grinned wide. So she knew his name, well that was good to hear. Though he let his grin fade a little as he listened to her. So she was feeling worthless, huh, well she was pretty, he was sure if she just got herself out there instead of sulking alone she would meet lots on Outrider.
The last question however was a very odd one indeed,
“No. I don’t know anyone by that name”
He blinked a couple of times “and if a Stag can not sire young, then he’s pretty much useless, and you should go find a proper Stag”
It sounded cruel, sure, but sometimes the truth is. it was there duty after all to procreate, a deer who would not procreate… well, that just seemed unnatural to him

Dorcheira smiled," Then you know the one by the name of Dorcheira now," she though a moment and sighed, in for penny in for a pound," I must apologize for springing that question on you, I let my emotions get the better of me. Anlatch creates a madness even among the hinds. And it causes one to get sentimental, to question the meaning of the season," she became even more serious than before, if that were possible, when she spoke again," A friend of mine, a fox; her kind choose one mate for life. While I am not a speaker and cannot say for sure, when she looks at the displays at Anlatch..... She looks on with a look of such contempt. I don't think she beleives that our kind can truely feel love." she looked out toward the herd," I wonder if a desire for procreation and love are truely the same thing. For example, a stag chooses a favored hind in his harem; that is likely to be the one he truely loves. The other hinds are his among dearest friends, no doubt, but their being in his harem is a mutual desire for procreation. The two can't be the same...."

Pride blinked a couple of times.
This hind obviously had alot on her mind. though... he thought she spent to much time with Fox.
"don't base your opinions on what other species think of us. this is a time to ccelebrate. if you don't have to join in. you don't have to. if you don't want to love, you don't have to. but for those who want to love, they can find it. even Stag's with Harmes love there hind. I love my Hind, and if i were to take more Hind into my harem. even if they where not my favored, I would only take them in if i loved them" he grinned looking around at the other deer in the aria
"then again thats just me. but I'm sure other Stag are like that to... and if they didn't.... it makes sense. I'm just amazing like that"
he puffed up importantly grinning at her.

Dorcheira smiled slightly; the stag had an amusing, if not slightly imature, nature. " Then I have a question to pose for you, outrider: supose the object of your desire is..... out of reach. Do you settle for less, or wait and try in hopes of Herne having mercy enough to unite the two of you?" she said this an a way that it wasn't too heavy sounding," You do bring up a good point though, other species would not know how we feel. And friendship is love.... in a way, not all love has to be romantic."

out of reach? for Pride, well that rarely happened. since he usually found a way to get what he wanted anyway. he thought for a moment.
"oh, your referring to the Stag that can not produce young aren't you"
he frowned slightly,
he really didn't understand why the Hind were starting to go for nice, but completely useless Stags, he was raised to be strong and fast, so what the Best hind would join your Harem and more strong children to carry on the Herd.
but, he didn't see the point in arguing with the Hinds about it, if thats what they liked... then what was he to do about it?
"well, don't you want young? if so, then would being with a Stag that can't give you that not be what you really desire."
he cocked his head to the side "how about just being friends?"

Dorcheira's brow raised, and she thought a moment.
" I suppose that makes sense, but matters of the heart rarely follow logic. And if I were to choose a healthy stag instead, how cruel would that be? To indulge his longings for me without truely returning the feeling for him...." This stag thought clearly without being coldhearted. Dorcheira found herself envying that trait. In the madness that was anlatch, she was becoming as bad as the other hinds.

This irked him slightly, it was probably a Hind thing?
"If you had a calf with a weak, sickly Stag... and because of that, your calf was weak and sickly as well, or developed some kind deform. you would be eventually dooming it as first pick of the wolves, or when Man comes around.
I know there is no Logic in feeling, but there is Logic when it comes to the well fare and survival of your offspring, and the Herd." he stood up proudly looking down at her, though in a respectful manor
"how cruel would that be. to carry on that weak line?"
he paused for a moment "i am sorry for the choice you have to make, but you have to remember, the duty of an Outrider, it to be strong, and defend the Herd. while its the responsibility of the Hind, to keep the Herd large, and strong. a very noble and important job. this is not about feeling, our life is about survival. and besides, can't you find a strong Stag to fall in love with you?" he grinned and lowered his head slightly "for you I don't think it would be that difficult"

Dorcheira was quiet a moment, searching he mind for a responce to counter Pride's; but in vain. She sighed in resignition.
" You speak the truth, Pride. Undeniably, it would be cruel. For even If I were to protect the calf untill his first antlers, his weakness would curse him for life." she was quiet a moment," The Herlas' life is truely about survival. Herne has given us the ability to do so, but if we live only by such instincts and by logic, life would become a wreached burden. Though, perhaps Herne saw that aswell. And so gave us the promise of the afterlife.
You have spoken to me most senceably, outrider, and I thank you for it. Perhaps I may see my choice more clearly."
