The forest floor is a cushion of velvet moss, the air heavy with the scent of pine and wet soil. A small boy with flickering deer ears and the soft beginnings of antlers kneels beside a chattering stream, his attention fixed on the water. Then his ears twitch—a new scent. He spins, freezes, eyes wide and alert, before his shoulders drop just a little. "Hello...?" he whispers, his gaze searching the shadows for you.
