Thankies, Roach. ^^ I'm glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, it was kinda my intention to keep him in character, but still make him somewhat...not exactly nice, but less like a complete jerk since he had to safe her in some way. ^^ I'm happy I seemingly succeeded.

This was awesome Great explanation of how they met! Loved how Ronno stepped in as the unwilling hero You made him likeable while keeping him the jerk he truly is

Yus, there was no problem at all with the characters, you didn't fail them, on the opposite, well portrayed! 83 yeah, Ronno was a jerk as fawn and adult, it's clear that (sadly) he cannot be portrayed a s a nice and sweet buck/stag! xD even though I gave a reason of why he acted that way that, at least for me, made some sense.
It's good to read something from you ;D

Well, I wanted it to tie in with your story, and since he still isn't exactly the nicest buck around, I couldn't just not make him a jerk, after all. ^^ I wanted to keep him and the others as in-character as possible (I hope I didn't fail. ^^.)
Well, I hinted at it - partly, he just wanted to avoid increasing the risk of being spotted by predators. Well, but we don't know what exactly he was thinking, since it's written from Aster's P.O.V. (Totally did that on purpose. xD)
Glad you liked that line. ^^
Not so prince charming. xD

Glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, aside from giving my thoughts, it was also meant as a help to get to know her some more. Thought that might help you. ^^

Gawd Ronno, you're a jerk >U you should take example from your sister, strangers or not, she's always nice because that how we're taught to act around. I wanted to kick him when I've read how he refused to take Aster with them at the beginning ARGH!
"Great. Him. No, not Ronno, that other jerk that had been pestering her for two days now." haha that part made me choke on my tea! xD poor Aster being pestered by a stalker!
And Ronno the not so prince charming to the rescue! xD He still has to learn some manners but Lakia knows how tu shut him!
Very nice side story! 83 I've enjoyed reading it! Aster's such a beautiful character and I'm liking her even more after this x3
