Neverwinter Forest the thought of you

A herd of deer at the lake.

She watched as they drank from it to cool from the rising summer heat. She alone was not enough to take any of them, healthy and prime, so it seemed they did not immediately fret at her watching.

Her eyes scanned among them for the youngest, the oldest.

One raised its head, dark round eyes focused upon her in a way that felt like the gaze pierced her. A shiver down her spine as she turned her head to look over her shoulder.

Had the doe seen something that she had not noticed yet?
