Difficult Days
You find your first days there very difficult. It's hard for you to not stare at these people, creatures, even though you've seen them so many times before. You have a hard time moving like them, it's not natural for you to be in this body, and you find yourself tripping and making a fool out of yourself. They think you're strange, you hear whispers, rumours. You don't mind really, you're the one who's normal here, they're just delusional.
You get assigned to farming, which you think isn't so bad until you actually try it. First they try to make you harvest wheat, but you stumble, still not used to your hooves. You cut yourself on the scythe in the fall and cuss out loud. The other half deer laugh at you, and tell you to go home. When Enja comes back she chuckles fondly and helps you bandage your leg.
Next they make you drag the load. They'd pack things on a heavy wagon like thing and you were just meant to drag it, but because you're not used to your new body yet, you fall and the load ends up all over the ground. When you get home, you tell your red haired roommate. She laughs and ruffles your hair.
Finally they make you pick tomatoes, corn, and peppers. You do better with that, only stumbling when you have to carry the heavy baskets to the wagon. Eventually you get a hang of it, and finally you feel useful.
