"Hullo," Slay said, wandering into the clearing near the stream. It wasn't really a clearing - rather, it was clear, but the area was surrounded by haphazardly replanted brush and segments that one could tell was given up on by the way that branches had been retrieved and flung onto the floor, unrooted, but in a vaguely aesthetically pleasing manner. The one thing that didn't seem to be new...er was a moderately sized tree with good canopy, spread over a third of the clearing.

A generously-sized Acha doe lay below the tree, presumably new...er also. She lay there with three -

"Puppies - puppies no," she said as the long one began speedcrawling towards him.

Slay took a step back as the other furry thing slowly came up to him, sniffing? Well, one of them looked like normal dog. That one was just scratching its ear.

"Hullo," Beauty Past Compare pronounced with delicacy, rising to her dainty hooves, anxious that her puppies would scare away this very nice looking buck who was very big and handsome.

"What brings you to my...abode?"

Her eyes glittered and literally glowed with intrigue.

"Oh I was looking for a Legendary," Slay said, quite straightforwardly, "for my new clutch of children."

"Oh," she said, and sullenly sank back into the mossy pile she'd painstakenly gathered, and she supposed it worked out because it was currently cushioning her crushing disappointment.

"Are you a Legendary?"

"That depends, is your partner as pretty as I?"

She did make a halfhearted attempt to toss her luxurious hair.

He paused and said, "yes."

"Well, good for her."

Beauty sniffed.

"Could I have a blessing?" He ventured after a while of silence.

The long one was definitely watching him and it made him feel like he could join the haphazard pile of stuff strewn around the clearing. He had a good chance of fending it off, probably, but it seemed inappropriate given that it was obviously owned.

She let out a long, long, sigh, then slowly sat up.

"I suppose."

Then she made ululating noises that caused the long furry one to stand up on its lower feet, and sway to the lull of her voice.

"Oh, Motherfather, oh, hear me thus beseech,
Why must handsome bucks only blessings seek?
Why are they so thickly blessed in both chest and head,
and come to ask for blessings with another doe instead?
Motherfather, I will try to be a goodly kin;
let his children with some doe be ridiculously good-looking."

"And strength in character, if you please."

"I'm sure she heard you. Aaaaiiiieeeeeee"

She rolled her head back and forth before collapsing dramatically into the moss pile. Slay looked at her for a while before stamping his hoof in approval.

"Thank you very much, that was certainly something."

"Leave," she commanded, voice lilting, "but come back soon!"
