"I suppose I do." The small stag chucked. " Blindly rushing in has never seemed to work for me." Cowan shook his head as he watched the others in the distance. He was going to need to rest awhile longer. He didnt feel up to jumping into another fight for the time being. He wasnt badly hurt;but he was quite sore. " Think I will just rest here awhile longer." He grumbled with a yawn as he settled his head onto the earth and shut his eyes.

Ahiga smiled, and trotted back to the apple tree. He left a few apples in short distance of Cowan, and hoped no other deer would come by and eat them. Ahiga laid down under the tree and surveyed the area.

[val.]

Oh Fedora said quietly. Is your brother..Ahiga is it? The leader of the herd? She asked another question.

Cowan awoke after awhile with a spitting headache. He violently shook his head, trying to bring his tired eyes into focus. The stag let out a grumpy huff. He wished he had never dosed off, he felt worse than before. As he was scanning the area he noticed some apples. How did those get there? he wondered. The scrappy little stag got to his feet and wandered over, taking one of the apples into his mouth and chewing noisily. Cowan finished off the apples and made his way over to a tree. He lowered his antlers and went to work, skinning the bark off of the tree in violent gouges, perhaps too violent. He found that on his final attack on the tree,one of his tines had become hopelessly lodged into the bark.

(No, not at all!)

Ahiga looked at the stag, and slowly shook his head. Ahiga then quickly turned his head so Cowan couldn't see is smile. To distract himself he watched the clearing, observing how few clashes there were. 'Guess the rut is coming to a close' he thought to himself.

Hazel enjoyed watching the foolish stag with his head stuck in the tree. She was still cross with his attempts at winning her. She eagerly watched him and grinned.

The young stag trashed around, trying to free himself from the tree. He could feel himself growing hot with embarrassment. This isn't funny! It's humiliating ! he thought bitterly as he felt eyes on him. He did suppose it was better to have eyes falling on him with amusement rather than vengeance. A stuck stag was often a dead one durning the rut. Stags often took any opportunities to attack weaker stags and Cowan was making himself an extremely easy target. The earth around his hooves was ripped up as he tried again and again to free himself. The stag had to stop for a moment and catch his breath. His sides heaved as he panted.Then he saw her, that hind,Hazel grinning as she watched his struggle. He grit his teeth in annoyance, but mostly in embarrassment.
"I am happy you are enjoying yourself." He muttered.

(Actually, that wasn't Glory XD)

Glory felt her attention draw to a loud noise, her curiosity peaked. She was greeted by the startling image of Cowan, that irritating stag, thrashing around in a tree. One of his antlers seemed to be stuck fast in the branches. Hiding a smile, she lowered her gaze. Although the scene was hysterical, it would probably be rude to stare as much as she disliked him.

{{XD fixed , thanks for catching that <3 my brain is off in another dimension right now.}}

"I definitely am, thank you," Hazel said very cocky. She knew that she shouldn't press her advantage, but she couldn't help it.

Ahiga shot a sharp glance at Hazel, as if telling her to watch it. He moved a bit closer to Cowan, watching for other stags who might go in for the easy fight. He was satisfied to find no one making a move, but just watching. He trotted up to the young stag, "Try moving your rack up and down to make the larger hole, and then you can pull out," he suggested.

[firedance101]

"You just wait till I get out of this !" He snapped at Hazel.It was an empty threat of course. He would never harm a hind. Cowan tilted his head more trying to work his antlers free. Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted Glory. He imagined she was probably laughing at him too. If a stag could snarl he would have. He was really frustrated. Ahiga's voice so close to him, caused the stag to be uneasy. He didn't have any reason to distrust Ahiga, but considering he was at the mercy of practically anything, he felt his fear to be justified. " It's good to know SOME deer around here have class!" He snorted and shot Hazel a look, before taking Ahiga's advice and beginning to rub his antlers up and down.
