It was an unassuming morning, the sun not yet even cresting the tops of the trees, his field of flowers and well-tended garden sunkissed only by the rays that shone through the thick boughs. It would be a hot day - he could smell the acrid air that promised cracked earth and fragrant flowers - but he didn't mind. He had work to do, as always, tending to his bright canopy of life and hunting.
It was a good life.
He had not, however, been anticipating company. Lifting his head from chewing off a grub from one of his plants, his ears lofted briefly before settling. Final Rest didn't need to listen or even see who was coming; even over the scent of dew-laden flowers, fruits and herbs, he knew the scent of family.
"Bare Trees." His voice was quiet, low, not exactly warm but spoken without warning or the snap of ice. She was welcome, and that was as about as friendly as he got.

The buck snorted as his nose touched the soil - or perhaps out of surprise. Lifting his head, he 'looked' at Bare Trees - or rather, towards her, it was harder to see her in the shade - and listened, his jaw set. Final Rest had a perpetually severe look when he was focusing, one that was set towards his sister.
"Don't go finding yourself," he said in a bland tone, head tipped slightly downwards as if it would help him see better. "You'll only find disappointment." If he could kick every kin who had to 'find themselves,' he would. Happily. The notion was just so ... self defeating. "You'll have many families. Don't forget that."
His sister had always had a fancy idea of a family - that it was set in stone, so to speak. Final Rest wasn't sure she realized that there were many bucks out there, and that even their own parents probably had more clutches than just them.

Surprised, she tilted her head at her vibrant brother after pulling another weed, listening to his words.
His tone was definitely more serious, obvious that the idea wasn't appealing at all to him, but she knew he did mean well. "Don't worry, I already know who I am right now. I just know there's more out there that I don't know yet. I need to experience things --- " The doe nodded her head in agreement, "I won't, brother. As you will too, I'm sure."
"I know I'm still a bit naiive," she continued on to move at the edge of the plot, nudging a ladybug away. "I've not met too many others, I wish to change that. Would you want to meet others?" She added at the end, curiously.
