she's quick to dig around for another biscuit, holding it out on the flat of her palm so the deer can consume at its leisure. ]
I was worried it would just .... run away or something. It feels like the animals here are kinda unsure about us. [ fair, considering three people have died. ]
I think most animals are pretty unsure around people. I can't say I blame them. If you think about it, what reason do we really give them to like us?
(Humans hunt and eat them. They tear down their lands. Humans are menaces.)
I've always liked nature, though. And I like to think if you treat it with regard and respect, it'll understand you.
(A beat,)
Or maybe I just have an affinity for deer.
(He says while slowly holding out a hand to the deer. He doesn't have any food! But it doesnt stop it from burying its nose into his hand until it realizes and returning to monch on one more biscuit.)
Like other people? [ respect them, and be kind and people will like you more than if you're cruel to them. ]
There's something to be said for treating everything with respect. Or at least not being surprised if you treat something badly and it turns around and bites you.
[ alex chuckles as claude attempts to win the deer's affection but fails without the proper offering of snack for the snack gods. her free hand digs through her biscuit pack and hands him one. ]
People like to put stupid... hurdles, and gates in the way of stupid things and decide who gets to live well and who doesn't. So... maybe animals do have it better.
Nature is a blessing that knows nothing of borders. It's all over the world, stretching beyond walls and washing away whatever lines we make in the sand. It gives life and sustains us, letting us grow and thrive.
(A very developed, urban area. He can see what she means. It's kind of like how these nation capitals don't have as many trees or anything beyond ones for decoration,)
Hmm... yeah, deer aren't exactly able to defend themselves in dangerous situations. They're pretty peaceful... it's kind of unfair to go after them.

(He accepts the biscuit and
Takes a bite of it himself. Now she's feeding two deer.)
I agree. (With what she said about respecting other things,) Maybe that's why I like animals.
Unlike people, I don't think they really care about certain things like where you're from or how you were born.

Or they're just more civil than we are.

We could learn a lot from nature.
(Finishing up his biscuit. Ah, delicious.)
Nature is a blessing that knows nothing of borders. It's all over the world, stretching beyond walls and washing away whatever lines we make in the sand. It gives life and sustains us, letting us grow and thrive.
And a lot of people have forgotten that.

I'm not sure I'd want to subject a poor deer like this to my home, actually. Maybe it's better off here.

It's just... there's a lot of violence that happens there. It'd probably get hurt.

[ she's holding out her hand now, to see if the deer will sniff it. it stills seems more interested in the food though. ]
Whether they're deer, or something else.
