SCENE: Ferravale Tavern

CHARACTERS: Ferro the monitor lizard. Hawkeye the sea otter. Blisa the cat; Ferdinand the ferret; Valerie the vixen. Mudjaw the ferret. Kalypso the cat plus spoofs.

LOG:
Hawkeye is behind the counter washing mugs and taking orders.He also mixes up a couple drinks here and there.

Ferro walks in slowly and finds a seat at one of the booths, since the weather is warmer he has ventured out more and more now, he was even at the abbey for a few days but is now back.

Blisa enters the tavern, Ferdinand and Valerie, her ferret and vixen bodyguards, trailing behind her. She nods to the bartender, then heads over to the Blacksmith. "Good day, Ferro. Good to see you out and about, glad the weather's getting warm enough for you." Small talk is super awkward for the cat, but she's trying.

Hawkeye nods "Did ya need anything Chief Blisa?" He waves to Ferro as he gets along with most here at the tavern.

Ferro nods "It issssssss warmer now yessssss, I wasssssss cheking on Krisha, sssssshe sssssssssems to be doing ok now, as issssss my granddaughter. I do not think any more trips are in the future though, I ssssshall be sssssstaying in the village now"

Blisa smiles at the sea otter. "I mostly stopped by to see how business is doing so far, and to check on that order of cheese buns for my snake." Glancing at the lizard, she asks with concern, "Do you mean, like, ever? You are more than welcome to visit the Abbey whenever you see fit, Ferro. I really don't mind, as long as you're careful."

Hawkeye says, "I think he already got the cheesebuns, he can always have more if he wants..very intresting to have a snake that likes cheese of any sort"

Ferro smirks "I am alwayssssss careful, then few tend to bother a monitor lizard"

Blisa shrugs. "Basil is weird. I have no explanation for him." Turning to the Blacksmith, she nods. "That's true, but I still get concerned. With all the would-be conquerors we've had in my lifetime, I tend to be a bit wary of being out on the road. So I just suggest caution to everyone." She sits down and adds, "Actually, I'm kind of hungry, Hawkeye. Do you have any salad?" Her bodyguards sit next to her, Ferdinand smiling at the lizard in a friendly way.

Hawkeye nods "We have salad, you be surprised how many like it and even had one beast want salad with fish in it of all things" He goes to get the salad and returns "Here ya are chief."

Ferro nods "Of courssssssssse it paysssssss to be careful, one never knowsssssss whom on the road is friend or foe now a daysssssss, it hasssss been quiet fer a while though"

Hawkeye nods and gets the tea "I am not sure where Xander is, I do know he was gonna take some time off though...not sure how long."He frowns "Think he took something rather hard"

Ferro listens quietly as they speak, he had missed the news by a few minutes but learned of it later in the day

Blisa nods. "Aye....Oz's....death has hit many of us really hard. I for one think he can take as much off as he needs. I wish Krisha could do the same..." Ferdinand thanks the otter for the tea, and he and Valerie sip theirs as they listen in on the conversation.

Mudjaw makes his way into the tavern, and sits as he smiles . A little time off is good "Some ale goood sir"

Hawkeye says, "Well she is Badgermother now, but she has help or least I hope she has help. Maybe some of them that helped Oz at times will also help her" He goes to get an ale and sits it before Mudjaw and goes back to cleaning the counter top and collecting some used plates and mugs to be washed

Ferro nods "I do know sssssssshe had to ressssst a couple dayssssssss but ssssseemed better afterwards"

Blisa nods. "I hope so. Everybeast needs some time off....even Badger Mothers." She waves to the ferret as he enters the tavern, but for now just keeps up her conversation with the monitor lizard. "I'm glad she was okay after that. Do you think she's handling her new duties okay?"

Mudjaw looks over curious "Something happen somewheres?"

Hawkeye says, "I am sure she will get a day off for something other than a short rest, though likely not for a little while yet"

Ferro says, "i think sssssssso....ssssssssshe was in the infirm 2-3 dayssssss, tooo much too ssssssoon maybe, trying to help otthersssssss, be there...kept beasssssts from brothering Benar...he made her resssssssst and they talked, ssssssshe ssssssseemed better afterwardssssss....think ssssshe also held in ssssssadness too long, not wisssssse but she let herssssssself mourn finally"

Blisa nods and finishes her salad, then drinks her tea. "I hope she's doing okay now." She turns to the ferret, smiling but ignoring his question. "I'm sorry, I don't believe we've ever met. I've seen you around, but never introduced myself. I'm Blisa, although you may have already know that."

Mudjaw drinks some of his ale and nods "Your de chieftain yeah..Mudjaw at ya service one of de guards of the city..I help Rubblethorn at times."

Hawkeye nods "Me as well...I only have Crevan as family now and would be sad without him around"

Ferro nods, he yawns and decides to get some rest so he heads back to his shop

Blisa waves to the Blacksmith as he leaves, then smiles again at the ferret. "Good to meet you, I'm glad to have you in the guard, Mudjaw. We need strong, able-bodies citizens defedning our walls." She's pretty sure everything coming out of her mouth right now is the definition of awkward, but she's trying to be friendly and outgoing. It's not natural for her, but she's trying!

Mudjaw nods "I like ta protect, I mean...some seem leary of me but it is a vermin village not many woodlanders come...those abbey beasts were here a few days I know, didnt speak to any though...hmmms maybe should of "

Hawkeye sits down and frowns, he looks a little tried but it was just busy in the tavern for a little while.

Kalypso enters, but she has her hood up and her ID mostly hidden, with her is a couple foxes, one on each side of her as she walks over to a table and sits down quietly.She does glace around briefly as she has never been in the tavern, least this one.

Blisa smiles. "That would've been good! Maybe next time when an Abbey dweller is here visiting, you can introduce yourself. I know for a fact that the Gatekeeper and her family would enjoy becoming friends with you." Ferdinand and Valerie, her bodyguards, spy the newcomers and are instantly alert. They of course can't tell who the cloaked cat is, but there's something about this new group that has them suspicious. Ferdinand casually sets his tea cup down and rests his paw on his sabre hilt, while Valerie keeps her cup and shifts slightly in her seat.

Mudjaw nods "Maybe, we will have ta see..least Abbey beasts are friendly to ..well most vermin"

Hawkeye walks over to the cloaked beast "Hello, may I get you and your friends anything?" He does study the beast slightly but other wise seems to show no concern yet.

Kalypso looks at the otter and smirks "An ale for me and my friends and maybe some fish and mixed vegetables if you have them." She does smirk a little"Its been a little while since I visited this area, my mother had..many times, saddly she is dead now."

Blisa nods. "Yeah, there are still some Redwaller whose dislike of vermin convince them to not even give us a chance. Some vermin are that way with woodlanders. I'm afraid that's probably never going to go away." Ferdinand's eyes narrow slightly, but he lifts his tea cup with his non-sword paw and takes a sip. Valerie leans over and murmurs something to the Chieftain, who scowls and grumbles something back.

Mudjaw nods "I can try"He looks to the cloaked beast but stays in his seat for now, there has been cloaked beasts around.

Hawkeye nods gets the food and drinks and walks back over, studying the 3 beasts, the foxxes and cat and hmmms softly as he sits down the ale and food "Here ya are."

Kalypso nods as she pays for the food, part of her tatoo shows briefly but not too much of it, the two foxes keep an eye on things, like the otter being one since he is closer.The cat smiles "I am fine you can sit now...thank you"

Ferdinand nearly chokes when he sees part of the tattoo. Valerie stands and says, "Miss Blisa, I think we should go check on that, don't you?" The Chieftain wrinkles her nose, but before she can express her confusion, Ferdinand is hustling her out the door. Her arguments fade in the distance. Once they get back home, the bodyguards tell her what they saw, and she immediately sends some city guards to the tavern as back up. But will they get there in time?? It's at least 20 minutes bewtween the time the Chief leaves and the guards arrive! Are they in time???
