"I don't think they shot at you because you did anything wrong. They probably thought you were a fawn. They shoot them sometimes," he said. He patted the female's nose. "I think I should give her a name now. She trusts us, and wants to be here. She knows we can protect her," he said, now stroking the coarse fur. He thought for a little while, but nothing came to him. Nothing as truly amazing as she deserved. He no longer thought of her as horrid, but amazing.

Simon agreed. What name would they give her? "I think the name fauna might suit her. What do you guys think?"he asked. Stark was laying next to the deer with a happy look in his eyes.He liked them a lot, and the name fuana might just work for the mutant deer. She was kind and didn't want to hurt them. She was just hungry.
Rooke smiled at Simon. "I like it." He looked back to the deer. "Fauna? Hello Fauna," he said, stroking her gently and speaking softly. She was a great deer, and he could tell she would be loyal to him for a long time. But then he remembered Feather, his favorite deer back home. He almost felt tears in his eyes. Who did he love more now?

"I dont know." Star said. "She diserves a magical name." She tought for a second. "How about Amori?" She asked. "I like that name." She stroked the head of the fawn. "Amori. Yeah, I like the ring of that."
Simon loked to Rooke. "I think I can keep her at my place. Stark seems to get along with her well, and I think it might make it easyer if ya'll have other deer."he told them."But that's only if you give me permission. I don't want to take her without you guys sayin' so."he added with a chuckle.
Rooke shrugged. My parents never go in my barn, so I can probably keep her there, actually," he explained, combing his hand through the thick fur of Fauna around her neck. He thought about the name "Amori". He thought he had heard of that as being a place. A mating ground for red deer. He had his name then. "Fauna of Amori," he said aloud.

Simon nodded. "That's a good name. Shouldn't we get going? Its after dark, and their probly searching for us."he told the other two. The stars glittered in the night sky, emitting a beautiful light.
Star smiled. "Can I take amori to the waterfall? She'd love it there." She said suddenly. "It's safe. and nobody an find her there.." She smiled. "That's why the buck took me, so I could lead him and his heard there. The waterfall is the safest place, never seen by any eyes but mine. It's a really beautiful place." She said. She looked at the fawn and then the deer. she smiled. "We'll be safe there, and the water heals wounds." She said, looking down at her shoulder. We can treat our wounded when we make it there. I haven't been there in so long, but I can remember it as if I was there yesterday."
Ooc: Close, but the deer's name is Fauna of Amori, didn't you read my post?
Ic: Rooke shrugged. "Is it far? I want to see her in the morning, so it can't be that far, where we keep her," he said. He jumped on top of Storm Stallion again and patted him. "We can't go there yet," he said. "I just need to warm up my horse." he started riding around in a circle, Fauna following him.

Simon looked to Rooke again. Ah well, at least they could patch up. They didn't really have mutch other than the usual bruisses, except for Star. She needed to get patched up quick.
