Simplicity, I think not (Open)

[Leopardstar]

(OOC: Testing out Nakita as she now belongs to me. ;D Feel free to join in.)

Tinkling sounds arose from the doe's room as she arranged....something. Her large body, made for a jack of course, blocked anyone's view should they peer inside so that they could only wonder. Nakita flicked her ears, the torn stump simply twitching in indignation. Her whiskers were quivering and she was such a sight with her dark purple eyes a-flame. Why, this simply wouldn't do. She couldn't present this to a leveret, let alone another doe or a jack.

She leaned forward to stare at the item set before her, allowing the wavy blue mane to fall forward and encase her inside her own private world. Nakita was doing her best to please her new jack, Anubis. He was such a handsome gentlemen, and all of this gold could be quite overwhelming. She was...impressed. So far her treatment had been good, unlike that one Jossigy jack. Good riddance, it was only his own stupidity that no doubt killed him.

Like all does, Nakita had hopes to be the favorite. Currently, her attention level was simply average. Average? Hah, she would never be average. She was a Villa Doe, and a lovely one at that. The only instrument she would ever need was her voice, once she had been told that she could sing the sun down to listen. But of course that had been a long time ago.

The doe remembered a time when she had refused to kill her child. He was male, obviously so, and she hoped that perhaps one day he would grow into a stunning jack that many a doe would swoon at. Her kindness may have been her undoing. Even now, she remembered that. Perhaps that was why she now had her own sort of mask. And no one would be allowed to see past it.

Bored.

That was the mantra that the young doe, and daughter of Anubis, kept cycling through her mind. Things just... weren't' as interesting anymore now that she and her sister were expected to act like ladies and behave themselves all the time in case an important visitor were to show up. Well, her sister wasn't exactly bothered by this, she'd always been the more relaxed, lady-like of the two... but it was pretty much killing her. Yup, all this boredom would be the death of her and not even daddy seemed to understand this!

And this was precisely why the strange, but enticing noises, coming from the other does room stopped her dead in her tracks. Her ears perked forward as she stared at the cracked door for a moment before creeping toward it and edging it open with her nose.

Well, that certainly didn't help any .... she still couldn't see what the older doe was doing, bah! Her tri-colored tail twitched with a mixture of frustration and excitement as she wandered into Nakita's room. She hadn't asked to come in but... manners never really had been her thing either; much to the dismay of her ever so proper mother.

Nakita.... what are you doing?

She tilted her head to the side as she peered at her, her mane and feathers twitching a bit from the movement the movement while her whiskers twitched with intrigue.

Nakita froze every muscle as a feminine voice interrupted her very private thoughts. Oh no, she thought with dread, who could it possibly be? Not that golden doe she had never bothered to remember her name perhaps? She sneaked a peek below her front right leg to see a feathered doe staring at her inquisitively. Ayanna. Relief filled her lungs with fresh air and her head spinning with glee. Oh good, she didn't think Anubis' daughter would dare to tell her father about the little 'item' she was preparing for him.

"Ah, Ayanna..." she greeted in a friendly tone, spinning about to face the other doe but clearly blocking her as yet rather shameful gift. "Nothing big, really. Just a small item that has of yet not been prepared with all the loveliness it should have. Would you like to see?"

Usually, Nakita wasn't this friendly with other does. She may have seemed very sweet and good-natured on the outside but on the inside she was plotting and comparing her to them. But Ayanna and her sister were of course waived from this, they were both lovely creatures and would no doubt be traded to some special jack. But this was Anubis's warren, they were his daughters, and there would be no competition for his attention when it came to certain things. Even the thought was simply disgusting.

The Villa stepped to one side, quite clearly revealing what she had held so secret. After a few moments to allow the other to marvel, she quickly stepped up to the door, darn the leveret who had left it cracked open, and shut it firmly.

It was a wooden wind chime, carefully made with delicate paws and sharpened claws. Tiny flowers, tendrils and vines, had been engraved into each of the long tubes. These tubes formed a circle around two small and very simple black stones covered in purple strips of cloth forming a stripe pattern. A variety of colored rope, string, and thread all in the color of gold suspended and tied each piece together. Iron in the shape of a small circle with a hook at the center held the creation at the very top.

"Unfortunately, it's currently unfinished and rather incomplete. Torquehelm simply does not have everything I wanted and I don't have really anything to spend, there is just so much to do! Of course, fretting isn't good either for the soul. I used to make wind chimes with my father out of whatever we could get our paws on...it was fun to pass the time. Obviously I'm rather out of practice."

She admitted this all generously to the young doe, her tail softly swishing across the ground. Nakita pressed her nose tip to her Villa Jewel for comfort, feeling the prescience of her father even in it. He had been such a nice Jack. What did the other think? She suddenly felt anxious, hiding it behind a neutral expression.
