Hazel knew he would get out sooner or later, and she didn't want to be too close to him when he did. She bounded away, disappearing in the mass of deer.

Ahiga kept his guard up for stags looking for an easy target. "At least you attracted hinds attention," he said trying to lift his spirits.

Cowan could feel the grip on his antlers starting to loosen. "Yeah I have." He said with no humor in his voice. He had a very peculiar gleam in his eyes." And there are some hinds that have MY attention...in abundance." The stag stopped rubbing the tree and backed up, giving his rack a few good tugs. On the last tug the tree released its grip on him and he stumbled backwards with a surprised snort. " Your help is much appreciated Ahiga." He gave the bigger stag a respectful bow of his antlers then his eyes narrowed in the direction Hazel had gone. "I have some pressing matters to attend to if you will excuse me?" He took off the same direction that Hazel had gone, running through the mass of deer trying to sort them and pick her out of the group. She had his attention more than ever, rather she wanted it or not!

Hazel kept running, making sure she changed directions often, to make the trail much more confusing. 'What would he do to her?' she said nervously. Hazel got angry at herself for getting in so much trouble with Cowan.

Watching Hazel running, Iso gently nudged her to stop, before nudging the other two hinds towards her, protecting all three of them, especially from Cowan. "Don't worry." He told her softly.

[cek00]

Hazel stopped, and dipped her head, "I'm sorry Iso," she said. "I don't know what had gotten into me," she said, apologetically.

[firedance101]

Cowan searched and scented until he located Hazel. He saw her stop near Iso;but, that did little to change his mind or his path. He made a mad rush in their direction, head held high, antlers thrown back as he ran.

[cek00]

Hazel was ready for either: a bluff, or kicking him square in the head. She kept switching back and forth, would he stop or not?

Ahiga didn't want to get involved in anything, but he wanted to make sure Cowan didn't get himself killed. He walked casually through the crowds trying to locate the reckless stag.

Iso shook his head gently. "That's okay. It's natural to be curious. I would have laughed myself." He said, the tips of his muzzle curling up slightly to show he had derived some amusement from Cowan's predicament. As Cowan ran forward, Iso lowered his own antlers in warning, hoping to ward him off. If it really came to it, he would fight.

[firedance101]

Cowan, stopped short of them and snorted. He shook his small rack furiously and his hair stood on end. "Step off." He bellowed at Iso. "You let that one stray one too many times." He had not anticipated another fight. He wasnt sure what had come over him, what madness;but, he knew he was ready to fight for Hazel. Why? He had no Idea, she was disrespectful, clearly wanted nothing to do with him. Maybe it was the allure of wishing for what he couldent have that drove the small stag to fight? "This hind is mine!" He bellowed loudly, stomping the earth and shaking his antlers. His challenge was made.

[cek00]

Hazel lifted her head quickly from shock. What? He wanted her? She was pretty sure he wanted to kill her. She couldn't help but back up. Then what? She wasn't sure, he was pretty determined. What if he managed to defeat Iso, would he go with Cowan? Her mind was racing, and she couldn't think strait.
