Nixx nodded her good-bye before she left and then watched her run to Forest, wondering if she was going to talk to her about the reason she was down. Everyone goes to Forest, she is such a sweetheart when it comes to problems and how to fix them.
Time to hunt. He thought. He looked around, which meant with eyes, ears, and smell, searching for breakfast. He caught smell of a bunny, Milky Way's favorite. Soon he had found where it was and quickly killed with his years of practice. Since he was by the river he caught to fish just in case they were still hungry after the bunny, her appetite was getting a bit bigger. Milky Way should still be there, like always, so he carried a smile on his face for when he saw her. He clumsily dropped a fish. He growled in frustration and dropped his other prey to get the fish. He rolled his eyes and picked up all of his prey. Without looking, he bumped into the Prince.

(boy, Nixx just has aweful luck running into Threonine XD)
Milky Way had been peacefully grazing, something she did a lot of, and even gulping down a rock or two, something she'd once heard helps upset stomachs, and it seemed to be working alright. She was still weary of eating too many though, and looked up, just in time to see Nixx coming.
He had food. Her eyes lit up at the sight of rabbit and fish. Rabbit especially was her favorite, though she hadn't found the inspiration lately to actually persue any. When he dropped the fish she let out a light hearted laugh. She watched him retrieve his prey and suddenly realized he was about to... She opened her mouth to warn him, but it was too late.
Threonine spun around and reared up on his hind legs, half expecting to see a challenger. He was rather unhappy about being interrupted, and if some ram really dared challenge him now... "Nixx?" He went back down on all fours. Nixx had a mate, so he didn't particularly see the red feather horned ram as a challenge. "Again? Didn't you do that just a month or so ago?" He snorted, sounding mildly annoyed.

(that was only one other time! lmao) Nixx sighed, "Yes I did." He said through his prey. The thought flashed back to him. The peaceful run ending in an ashamed mood of disrespecting the Prince, "That was an accident as was this," He said, slightly annoyed himself of the way the Prince basically threw him down with a snort, thinking he was better than him, and in truth he was, but didn't need to be that rude. He glanced at MilkyWay who looked a little worried, "Now may I please get back to my Milky Way?" [/color]

Sunlight hit the dark gray pelt as furry paws stretched and navy horns rose. Sam had just woken up, and he could feel himself excited as he knew it was yet another day of Siv, and another day of more rough fights to please him. He had been very much enjoying Hannie's company, and he seemed to be spending quite a lot of time around her, either hunting or telling stories.
Unconsciously, the large stag had been casting aside one of his harem. He had not realized that the white doe had still not been impregnated by him, and it had not even crossed his mind yet to do so. To the third person's eye, it seemed almost as though if he had lost interest in her. Sadly, poor Sam had not lost his interest, but had merely known this young doe for enough time to see her as a dear friend, and his simple mind could only focus on so much, and Hannie was feisty enough to take up most of this focus. As he looked to his side, he saw Hannie close by, but failed to miss out on the small white body that tended to sleep close by as well. Hannie's small, curled, sleeping form stirred as she also felt the warmth of the sun and heard Sam waking up. "Good morning," she mumbled sleepily, getting to her feet and stretching. The sun was warm and promised a good day. As her brain finished waking up, she wondered what they would do today. The big stag had quickly became her friend, and she loved being with him; he, unlike many of the other children she could slightly remember from her first herd, had plenty of energy and always seemed to be able to keep up with her. Still, the idea of actually mating still made her feel a bit nervous, although she assumed when that time came everything would be fine... the first time for everything makes one nervous, she thought.

Sam heard a groggy voice close by and he looked down to see a stirring black and red shape. Blue eyes looked up at him as the doe got up, and he puffed his chest happily as he thought how lucky he was to be waking up next to the two best does in the herd, or so they were in his mind. He blinked suddenly and noticed Blossom wasn't there, and his ear flicked as he realized there was no fresh scent. She must have gotten up early in the morning. I wonder where she ran off to... Oh well, no matter. She tends to prefer her alone time. His dismissing thoughts drove him further away from the idea of how far away he was pushing the young doe on her first Siv, but he blissfully turned to Hannie, amber eyes sparkling as he wagged his tail in a dog like fashion.
"Good morning to you as well. I am assuming you are hungry? Ready to go grazing? Or would you rather do some hunting? Or! We could always go bother Prodigy. Of course only one would be needed to bash heads with him... Maybe-" his voice kept going on and on with random chatter, thoughts of pranks and adventures for the day running wild as he kept thinking out-loud, almost forgetting that Hannie could hear every word that was coming out of his mouth.

Lavantia stretched in the sunlight letting it glitter off her golden fur in a rainbow of color. The she trotted over to a patch of grass and began to graze. None had asked her since Monsoon so she figured both Monsoon and Talahasi had lost interest in her. That was fine with her though as she wanted neither of them to get hurt on her behalf. Just as she thought this she felt eyes on her and when she looked it was Talahasi and she blushed slightly and the Rams attention to her. She had noticed that he had stopped grooming every 10 minutes. Now that he had sopped his coat glittered with his own natural coloring. When he noticed she was looking at him he started over her way. 'Oh What am I supposed to do? Say?' she thought her eyes going wide as she panicked.
Switching XD.........
Talahasi snorted to himself when he had though of his luck this Siv with the does. Both of his top choices had rejected him so he didn't bother to try any of the others. After noticeing that one of his choices was disgusted by his inability to stop grooming he had tried to break the habit and succeeded. Not his coat glittered in the sunlight instead of being matted down. He looked over at Lavantia who was streching in the sun her golden coat glittering in the sunlight. He admired her while she was like this and watched her as she grazed. If he wanted to ask her it would have to be soon; Siv was nearing the end. 'What about Alithea,' his mind asked him. 'I though you wanteed her?' 'I do but she rejected me!' he though. 'So did Lia," his conssious argued. 'Whatever,' he thought looking back at Lavantia. This time she caught him looking. He could have sworn she was blushing.
He decided to go over there but when he started for her she look like she panicked. 'What did I do?' he said continuing on.

Kaze grinned at Alaska, his vibrant green eyes shining in the gentle sunlight. "Good afternoon to you, as well. How are you?" He asked, smiling. He paused for a moment, feeling how lucky he was; though he only had one doe in his harem, that doe was Alaska, which felt enough for him. "Would you like to go on a hunt or something?" He asked, shaking his silvery-white mane out of his eyes as he made the suggestion. Though he also liked grazing in the feathery grasses of the herd's home; meat was also an important part of the goennec diet. He was hungry, that was true, but he also hoped that she would want to come with him as well...he liked spending time with her. But he wouldn't ever make her come with him, or do something she didn't want to--that was something he would never do; a level of rude overprotection Kaze just didn't approve of. He felt the cool wind ruffle his pelt, sending a wonderful tickling sensation through his fur; it was a wonderful day, the weather mild and a content feeling in the air.

Threonine regarded Nixx for a moment, almost as if he were suspicious. Then he blinked and shook his head, fluffing out his mane as well as clearing his thoughts. It's like I'm paranoid all of a sudden. He realized, and glanced over to where Kaze and Alaska were.
Gotta calm down, it's just the Siv. Mustn't make bad impression... Maybe too late, gotta try though. He blinked again as if coming out of a temporary daze. "Oh well, that's alright, no harm done." He let his eyes wonder again to wherever Nixx was looking and he too noticed Milky Way looking, indeed a bit worried. "Yeah, go ahead." He grunted, ears flattened back in a way that wasn't threatening so much as embarrassed, though he wasn't quite sure why. Probably just part of the paranoid feeling again, he brushed it off, determined that now he could handle anything that came his way. So he lifted his head even higher so that, to the female he was currently trying to woo, he might look more impressive. MilkyWay, as has been stated a number of times, watched on, looking just a tad worried. [/img]

"I'm doing relatively well, I suppose," Alaska said. The doe thought about making an excuse to not go hunting with Kaze, but didn't find anything she could say that would be believable. Besides, she decided she was hungry enough, and that Kaze wasn't so bad. "Hunting sounds fine," she replied, blinking her large, ice blue eyes. Hearing a slight commotion off to one side, Alaska looked out of the corner of her eyes to see that Nixx had just ran into Threonine. Great, she thought, inwardly rolling her eyes. Again? At least the Prince isn't too harsh about things like that. the cream and grey doe noticed the Prince briefly glance in the direction she and Kaze where standing, and she found herself glad that she hadn't been directly watching the confontation, or Threonine would've seen her looking. Turning her attention back to the green-eyed ram in front of her, she offered a slight side smile, asking where he wanted to hunt.

"Well, that's better than alot of things," Kaze replied, grinning. He paused for a moment, feeling somewhat embarrased. What if she really doesn't want to go with me? he thought, shifting a hoof nervously, Well, if she doesn't, that's fine, I suppose--it's her choice. He hoped she would want to, but didn't want to make Alaska feel like she was forced to. His ears perked at her response, and he smiled slightly, somewhat relieved. He glanced over slightly as he heard Threonine's voice, though not directed at him, he was curious what it was about. Ah, Nixx... he thought, realizing what had happened. Kaze was glad that the herd's Prince didn't make a big deal out of such a thing, though it may have annoyed Threonine, it was still just an accident, and Kaze was glad the prince treated it as such. The grey ram looked up as Alaska spoke, and considered for a second. "How about up a bit and across the river, where the boulders are?" He suggested, motioning with his head in the direction of the location. "The field there is pretty flat, and has long grasses, so hopefully we'd be able to find something." He said, grinning. "What do you think?"

Squinting in the direction Kaze had motioned, Alaska nodded. "Looks good to me," she replied. A gentle wind blew her light, cream-colored mane, ruffling it around her ears. "The wind is blowing our scent downwind from the area, so that should make hunting easier," Alaska pointed out. Sparing one more glance at Threonine and Nixx, she cocked her head to Kaze, her blue eyes shining. "Let's go," she said.

Kaze nodded, grinning; this was very true. Since the breeze was blowing downwind, it would mean that their prey would be easier to track, and it would be less likely for whatever they would hunt would become aware of them from their scent and flee. Which, majorly worked to their advantage. It was a warm day, the sun shining down gently overhead, and with luck, the small animals that were part of their food source would be out of burrows or hiding spots, and would be easier to fine. At least...he hoped. The soft breeze blew cool and refreshing against his fur, his silvery-white mane swishing gently and blowing it out of his eyes. "Yeah!" Kaze agreed, smiling and leaping forward. He laughed, emerald eyes twinkling, and trotted forward, heading in the direction of where they would start their hunt.

Alaska was glad for the breeze. It made the air remarkably cooler, and the doe liked cooler temperatures, though she had grown more used to the warmer ones of the valley where she now lived. Trotting forward next to Kaze, they reached the area where they were to hunt quickly. Alaska opened her mouth slightly, breathing in the fresh air. Up ahead and to the left, she scented what she thought was a rabbit. Glancing at Kaze, she hoped he realized it was ahead. Crouching lower to the long, feathery stalks of green grass, the cream and grey doe wished her pelt didn't stand out in the green so much. It was more suited for her old mountain territory. Blinking the sun out of her eyes, Alaska crawled forwards, eyes trained on the spot she believed the rabbit to be.

(does everyone have to notice him? lmao) Nixx ignored the looks he got from the others and continued on towards his mate. He dropped the food to lie down next to her. He grabbed a fish to nibble on, but ended up staring at it. The breeze blew a piece of mane into his face. He glared at it and blew it away to the side. He took another bite from the fish and sighed. Another embarassment... He barely noticed Milky looking at him, but once he had he looked up at her and made another sigh, "I know."

"A fight, you say?" Devi peered around to where Garnet had indicated, his ears pressed forward. There was indeed a male, who seemed very intent on something. 'Ah! I know him, Secret ... Secer .... something.' He suddenly felt bad. He liked to know the members of his herd, at least their names anyway. "If he wants a fight, he may have one. I wouldn't dare lose twice in one season." He puffed himself up again in his typical confident way and grinned at her. He still felt bad about the name, but he'd learn soon enough. "Have you had anything to eat yet?" He asked quickly, trying not to talk too much about fighting. "It's still early enough for there to be a bit of lingering dew. The shoots are really very good when still covered in dew." He was a bit worried about the other male, but for now, he figured he was safe, it was still early and he assumed the other ram was still in the process of getting the day started.
Forest looked up from her patch of wildflowers and was happy to see Blossom in front of her. She smiled, swallowing the last bits of stem and petals. "Good morning to you too." Her voice high and chipper. Her sleep had been better than usual and she was starting to feel the added energy. "What brings you to my corner, Blossom?" A warm smile spread across her face.

Secretariat's ears swiveled back as the Prime looked at him. and he tried to make himself look more big and threatening. He needed some sort of an edge, after all. If he could manage to unsettle Devi... it might help.
He decided to wait until just before Devi could get a drink of water. The dew would have to suit him; the small male was impatient. He clicked one one his stark white hooves against a small rock, needing to move or do something before he could go against his own resolve and charge headlong into the black and white flanks of his target. He hated waiting, but, as he convinced himself, it would have to be worth it.
((Tired- sorry if it doesn't make much sense.))

Garnet smiled slightly and nodded. “I hope you don’t lose,” She murmured in a small voice. She shuffled her paws a little awkwardly, feeling her face grow hot with embarrassment. “Um..Oh! No, I haven’t eaten yet...Well, I have, but I haven’t really eaten much. Sounds good,” She rambled, grinning with youthful energy. She looked around. “Just here, or elsewhere?” She asked, licking her lips in anticipation. She looked towards Secretariat and watched as he puffed up, stifling a smile. He looked so strange, all hormonal like this, but then again, so did every other male, especially the Prime and him. With this being her first Siv, everything seemed so wierd, as if someone had been acting rather silly when they decided that the Siv would make all Goennecs rather crazy. She cut herself off from her musings, looking back towards the Prime and smiling guiltily, as if she felt bad for her thoughts and calling him strange in her mind. “I’m starved,” She added, eyeing the grass at her paws hungrily. The thought of the dew covered grass shoots in her mouth made her stomach grumble in agreement, and she laughed, a short laugh, merry and happy too. The day was turning out beautifully, and if she played her cards right and cheered both males on when they did fight, she’d have a greater day then she’d had in a while. To have two males fighting over her made her stomach tickle as though butterflies had filled it, and made her grin like a tiny kid who had just met a new friend.

As she saw Forest grazing at the flowers, Blossom's ears perked up happily. "There is a small corner by the river, close to the big tree, in which there are some buds that have the best taste in the whole grassland," she commented, knowing that the tasty dew filled buds would be a treat for the elder.
Her ear gave a nervous twitch as she gave an awkward laugh at the last question the doe had just asked her. "Well, to be honest, I have been up since before dawn, so my breakfast has been taken care of, and Nixx seemed to want to hunt where I was sunning myself, so I didn't want to get in the way," she answered, not wishing to admit that she was merely avoiding the stags. Knowing she was still open for fights made her feel uncomfortable, as somehow she didn't picture Sam getting into another skirmish for her, and somehow this made her feel somewhat sad and annoyed.
Her belly full and no real call to go out hunting herself, and her nap interrupted, Blossom had gone to the only goennec that she currently felt comfortable talking to, as her other friend was obviously not interested in her, and the doe she had met that day by the stream had not really chatted with her since that one day. She supposed that joining the Prime's harem had given her a busier lifestyle, as the Prime was probably always moving around and keeping a jealous eye on his does.
Unconsciously, her eyes turned to the Prime, and she saw him speaking to the russet colored doe. Her gaze flickered with a hint of sadness as she wished she would get a bit of recognition from her own stag as she had seen the males do during the time of siv.

MilkyWay watched Nixx silently for a moment, noting that his mood seemed to have dropped since earlier that morning. It was understandable, she just wished she knew better how to comfort him. Usually rams didn't want to be comforted anyway, something having to do with their image as the stronger sex she imagined. However, the moment he said, "I know.", she couldn't help but lean forward to lick him on the bride of the nose.
"Nixx..." She tried to think of the right thing to say, but finally decided to start eating the rabbit. At least she could show him that she appreciated him and the food he brought back for her, since she wasn't always so good with words. There was little she loved more than the juicy meat of a rabbit, the skin was nearly paper thin and although they didn't have a whole lot of meat on them and about a third was fur, the taste was something you just couldn't buy. Rabbits were the perfect meat for her, being a Goennec she didn't need a whole lot, it was a treat in itself. It lifted her mood immediately and she started to let out a soft rumbly sound a bit like a purr. "You're the best hunter I know." She said proudly, taking another bite.
Stargazer, MilkyWay's twin sister, lay a ways off under a patch of shade provided by a small tree with long spindly branches that produced more pinkish colored flowers than actual leaves.
Every now and then, though her eyes were closed in a way that told she was taking a light nap, her tongue would flicker out and swipe across her nose a bit like a cow. Her tail too would swish at the occasional non-existant fly. If anything, she was glad that the Siv was almost over, and intended to sleep most of it out if she could.
Her plans for the day were all worked out in her mind, even as she napped peacefully. She'd do as much of that as was allowed, get up and find Roshan later, eat, and perhaps talk to Devi if she could find him when he wasn't busy. She wanted to ask about what it would take to leave her position as a peasant to become a soldier. Stargazer had no doubts that she could be, she wasn't as gentle or motherly as her sister, and wanted, against previous agreements, to at least proove herself useful.
But that could wait, she had no need to fight now, and felt quite confortable in Roshan's small harem. Now that she thought of it, none of the rams had large ones this year. Oh well, suited her fine, the herd would grow in it's own time. For now, the agenda said sleep, and sleep she did.
