So the fawn can talk? Like in a way humans can understand?

all animals can talk

they just rarely have anything meaningful to say

sometimes an animal comes into the McDonalds and asks for a McDonald, they preprae their employees for the situation

Should have gone to Sonic

Vav vav hello fellow deer! That's a nice dress you're wearing.

that is her livery as a Servant of the Forest King

also you are clearly a dog

MEEEEHHHH! No see I'm a deer!!

What's this about delicious liver?...

Fawns shouldn't get names until they've survived their first winter. Otherwise you've just wasted a perfectly good name on a lump of meat that was never going to make it anyway.

his name is Bending Stick i decided

it is very easy to give a thing a name, and most things only have one name, which is the name that is for them, and won't ever be for someone else anyway

"Dad, is that a Pokemon?"
"No."

i wonder how pokemon would have developed in a world of talking animals and magic animal fairies being commonplace

Everything would likely be magic-based, and it would be a LOT more dangerous for the young humans running around trying to capture the creatures. This raises a couple questions:

1. Would the whole creature-capture thing be a sort of Rite of Passage? It could explain why parents seem so calm sending their kids out into the unknown with a backpack and a pokeball.

2. Would only certain creatures be capture-able? Would there be designated races of magical creatures for whom it is always open season to hunt, catch, and press into service? Would being captured invoke a geas? How would other mythicals view these certain races, if that was a case?

3. Would Autumn Bramble be capture-able?

- Are humans tasty?

Of course you shouldn't run! You should leave!



Okay I'll stop.

jail

The human might try to come up and pet you. Do magical forest-god servant deer even like being pet?

i think it'd vary from Servant to Servant

i imagine most humans would be wary what with like

petting
