[3D]:
What a beast, this thing! thinks Do, wincing to see the purplish deer past the bright light. It tries not to tremble, as if it were necessary to assert some kind of power over this thing to avert its judgment through that stare. It knows better than to turn its back to this thing, but for some reason it feels like this thing will lurch towards it like a mantis if it broke eye contact. A mantis with hooves. It fails to hold together and trembles before the beast.
(Do finds itself, it realizes, at the mercy of an unfamiliar ecosystem. It knows it has no idea what kind of role this staring contest adversary takes. Better safe than sorry.)
Do scuttles sideways in a large, elliptical half-orbit around the deer like an awkward party guest watching their friend-that-invited-them talk to much cooler strangers, eye(s?) still locked with the deer's. It weighs in its ball-shaped head whether or not it should break off and leave.
