[There is a little biddy fawn flittering around Luceti. You know, baby deer fawn. Yep. Also, a giant wolf god behind it. THIS CAN ONLY END BADLY RIGHT.

...Except not. The fawn doesn't seem to be afraid of Moro at all. And if Moro doesn't see you? You'll find that Moro is playing with this thing. Playing with a fawn. A prey animal. If

[San may be confused as she approaches. ...But she won't say so]

[biteoffherhead]

[...Yeah, San, your mom is weird. Regardless, she'll ignore the fawn in favor of you, since the little deer isn't wandering far from her anyway.]

[forestpride]

[Well, since I have the icon for it, San will go over to the fawn and offer a hand for it to sniff, if it wants. She's not opposed to baby animals either, and Moro must have a reason for not hunting it]

[biteoffherhead]

[The fawn seems fearless! Surely too young to really recognize a predator, even with instincts in place. Humans aren't bad, right? And the wolf doesn't hurt.

Moro turns her attention away from the fawn, once again uninterested in it or its safety now that it's in the presence of another predator.]

[forestpride]

[San will talk to it quietly. She wonders if Moro is going to eat it later though. Is it old enough to survive without its mother?]

[biteoffherhead]

[It's just a baby, so most of it is gibberish. Moro has no intentions of eating it, but San can gather from the baby that its mother disappeared and Moro appeared soon afterward.]

[forestpride]

[So Moro has already hunted. But the fawn doesn't look old enough to survive on its own. With a hand extended, San will try to get it to follow her, and she in turn will follow Moro]

[biteoffherhead]

[Moro returns to the forest, since the fawn is interested in following San, and wanders deeper into the wood.]

There may be other does that can suckle it.

[forestpride]

Will they? They will have fawns of their own.

[biteoffherhead]

Perhaps. Nature will decide its fate. I will not take what I do not need.

Nature deemed you fit enough to survive alone until I took you myself. The same will be deemed of the fawn. But only prey can raise a prey animal.

[forestpride]

[raising it hadn't even crossed San's mind]

Why do you protect it?

[biteoffherhead]

The humans will lay waste to it, as they hold no respect for nature. I turn a blind eye to other hungry predators.

[forestpride]

Humans are wasteful in hunting.

[biteoffherhead]

Wasteful and disrespectful. They would kill out of pity instead of necessity.

[forestpride]

['kill out of pity' does not compute]

I can lead it away from the village.

[biteoffherhead]

Such would be ideal.
