Is so graceful, like the best gazelle.

I figure the outer neck bits are made out of whatever magical flexy vinyl that forms the bulk of scifi clothing.

“Are you looking for something or do I still smell like that plant experiment?” She bent down a tad, reaching to gently pat the deer.

Presses into pats, tries to eat nearest thing that is not nice patting thing. Wants food, where is it?

“You hungry little one?”  Trying to think of what plants inside the facility aren’t deadly carnivores..  “Maybe Logic has something in his kitchen for you, hm?”  an attempt to guide the deer a little ways down the hall. 

Upset deer noises, wants the food things! Must have them, can smell them!

“Hello there.”

Much nudging, many snuffles.

Researchers admit that they aren’t sure, but they say the mutation likely has been perpetuated because it offers a survival advantage. Melanistic deer are concentrated along the [Central Texas] region’s drainages, where cover is thick and a dark-colored prey animal would have an edge in avoiding detection. This trait also would serve them well in the upland juniper thickets found in the same part of Texas.
