Capri cocked her head half ignoring her father and jumped up onto a stump so she was face to face with him. "Cyrene is fine. I am going to explore more." She took a good look around the forest and saw the tiny creek about fifty yards away from her father, without a second thought she jumped from the long and made her way over to the creek before Sven could stop her.

Cyrene sat up, shaking her head and glancing fearfully at Mara.
"S-sorry," She whimpered. She regretted running into the other fawn. What if the other fawn was angry...?

"Follow me," He coaxed gently, lowering his head so that his antlers would not catch in the branches as he moved deeper into Evermist Wood.

Lowering his head again, as though to touch the water, he gave Capri a gentle shove with his antlers, tumbling her into the shallow pool. It was not dangerous; it was very, very shallow. But it would be her first experience with swimming.

"Yes," He answered, "Even when you get big, like your mother. I will always be your father."
