Long Ears listened to his friend, but in the meantime he caught the look his mate through at him. He figured out it would be best if what Bambi had to say waited for the morning. "Can this wait for the morning?" he asked rather nervously, hoping his friend would understand and keep quiet.
Garo didn't notice Gurri's present next to him, and found himself going furious as the bucks tried to blame it all on her. "Shut up!" he spat, pressing a little harder with his antlers. "Gurri would never do that!" He was suddenly feeling confused. Why was he mad if the buck was distibutoring rumors about Gurri? Was it possible that he still loved her, despite what had happened a few minutes earlier? He soon pushed the thoughts out of his mind, and kept holding the stag on the ground, still not noticing Gurri.
Geno in the meantime did not notice Gurri or his dad approaching, nor did he take his time to see what was happening with Garo behind him. He actually found it funny that now that the other stag was alone, he suddenly stopped attacking. "What's the matter?" he asked, before his grin vanished and he threw the stag off his feet. He however didn't use his antlers to pin him to the ground. If the stag got up, Geno would show him just how 'weak' he was.
