SCENE: Ferravale. Redthorn Tavern.

LOG:
The path program in Ferravale is going quite nicely, actually. The snow has either been tunneled through, or had boards placed on it. The industrial vermin would really like to not be forced to be in the same building all the time, so they all worked very hard together to make it so all the buildings are now accessible again. Blisa is still spending every day in the tavern, where many of the beasts are still spending most of their time, doing her best to keep the peace. Ferdinand, Valerie, and Hank are the bodyguards she has with her today, and the ferret and foxes are busy eating lunch, currently. The Chieftain is going over some reports she was given of a couple roofs that were demolished by the heavy snowfall.

Zoltar makes his way into the tavern and then over to where the main bar is."An ale please...no"He smirks" some wine, yes thats better.I also require some simple supplies"

Patch arches an eyebrow at the wilcat and shrugs "Not many beasts order wine very often"But hey he is more than happy to offer the wine, more coins are always good to have" And depends on what ye need in supplies..ya on a trip or something? Ys new to de area?" He clearly not seen him before but maybe the weather is bring around new beasts.

Blisa continues working on her paperwork, holding back a sigh. This is what her father used to do, and she will not complain. She is just proud to be doing his job. Ferdinand is keeping watch on the wildcat, but he keeps watch on everyone he doesn't know, so this is nothing new. Valerie is going over a book on herbs, and Hank is helping the ferret keep watch on the rest of the room. So far, they have nothing to be concerned or suspicious about.

Zoltar grins"To a victory,"He has the needed coins "Just simple, nothing too much. Me and a couple others have a place ta go, no worry."Yes he had plans, plans to leave sooner rather than later.

Patch gets the coins"Vicoory huh?" He decides not to ask, but he is curious but shrugs it off as nothing major, he would know if it was major after all.

Blisa's ears cock, and she looks up at the wildcat. Traveling in this weather? Seems rather suspicious to her. The Chieftain gets out of the booth, her bodyguards hurrying after her as she approaches the bar with her paperwork in paw. She smiles at the wildcat. "Travel in this weather? Seems unwise to me, friend. Why don't you and your companions take refuge here until Spring? I'm sure any business you have elsewhere can wait until the roads and paths are clear." She turns to the rat. "Tea, if you please."

Zoltar studies the chieftain "I have a deadline to tend to, but the offer was polte of you none the less miss" So very polite, he drinks his wine and smiles"We will be fine though, just passing through the area."

Patch nods and goes to get some tea, "I fer one like it better in me office, and the tavern...yeah I have a home in de woods..but it's fine"Least he hopes it's fine anyways,darn...no he has to figure out how to find out.

Blisa accepts the tea and studies the wildcat as she sips it. "Wouldn't whoever set the deadline appreciate the snow keeping you stuck, though? It hasn't melted that much." She is suspicious, but so far she has no proof to back up her suspicions, so so far she is just going to ask a few questions and see how he answers.

Zoltar keeps calm"Oh yes cause I would lose gold"He speaks the truth "I don't want to lose gold so I travel,I dont let this..weather ruin my...day"He chuckles slightly"Not everyone likes to..well stay in one place all the time"

Patch rolls his eyes some at the wildcat "Whatever...still your not de only one...who ever ya be, to be stuck somewhere, your likely not gonna get too far in this stuf"

Blisa cocks an eyebrow, but keeps her friendly smile. "Well, if you insist." She lets the rat speak, then shakes her head as if she had just remembered something. "Where are my manners? Forgive me for not introducing myself. I am Blisa, Chieftain of Ferravale. And you are?" Ferdinand and Hank are leaning on the bar, keeping watch of the tavern. Valerie has returned to her book. They may seem at ease, but they are ready to act at a moment's notice.

Zoltar nods, but in case he uses a fake name "Mitch..a travaler.As I said I cant stay long and my two friends expect me back soomn, they...worry"

Patch speaks "They in the village some where?" He is curious ok, "Or elsewhere"Seems he is not shareing a name yet himself.

"Why not bring them here to Ferravale with you if they worry so, then? I'm sure it would reduce their stress, Mitch." Blisa is burning how he looks into her mind. She does this with everyone if she can't draw them at the time. You can bet his portrait is going into her sketchbook later. "That's a nasty looking scar y'got there," she adds, indicating the injury Xander did to his face.

Zoltar mutters to himself, yes that scar and it's clearly no more than what..2-3 days "One reason we need supplies"He says "Robber beasts are on the road"This is true, sort of..course the robber beasts was a couple ferrets he had."My friend is a healer and they dislike the village, prehaps the attcker is here"Gee he is duhhhhh,course they have no clue right now,he finsihes his wine "Maybe I should head back"

Patch tilts his head"Robber beasts on the road...well they are morons as well"

Blisa gives the rat a glance. "Patch, I wouldn't say 'morons,' and neither should you. I'm sure they have their reasons...although I do agree that trying to rob beasts right now doesn't necessarily work out." She turns and heads back to the booth she was sitting in earlier. "Well, if you insist, Mitch, I won't try to stop you. Just thought I'd offer my town's hospitality. I know some find an Abbey full of woodlanders uncomfortable." She sits down, her bodyguards returning to their former positions. "Feel free to stay as long as you need to, Mitch. Patch, do please make sure to get him the supplies he's buying." Yeah, 'cause if he wanted charity, he should've gone to Redwall

Zoltar is also good at making things seem..simple "Prehaps I will ask if they want to come stay here till spring as you are most kind"He stands "I need to go now"Maybe supplies can wait, there is the ones from the abbey, but think quickly"And if they do...I will not need supplies after all just a nice room...and can work out meals" Secretly he has no plans to stay, he is leaving this area tonight so his boat beast best be at the Gull.But his wording seems to make it appear he is talking it over with his ...friends, and he would be back prehaps soon, yeah right..he is out of here as he exits at a forced normal pace,once out the door and out of site he moves more quickly and even knocks down a couple beasts in teh street.

Patch nods"I can let the inn keeper know and...maybe you or ya friend can work at the tavern,help isalways good.."He watches him and hmms, "Odd beast"He mutters.

The moment the wildcat is out the door, Blisa is back at the bar, green eyes narrowed. "I don't trust him, Patch. It may turn out for naught, but I want you to keep an extra open ear in here. And maybe see if there's any possible way we can get to Redwall to ask about him. Do you have snowshoes?"

Patch frowns "I...don't or trsut me I be checking on me treehouse...been here at de tavern or office up stairs."He sighs, he needs showshoe he really does "Maybe have a bird...kind of keep an eye out fer de wildcat? Or least warn of robber beasts"

Blisa nods. "I'll ask the blackbirds, but we also need to get you a pair of snowshoes. Ask around the village, and I'll ask the Abbey. I'm sure we can get you a pair." She pulls out her sketchbook and immediately starts drawing the wildcat. "Need to make sure to remember what he looks like..."

Patch caught a short look "Ugly as..."He decides to keep the last word silent"Seemed in a hurry after ya asked bout his scar"

"Aye, he did, didn't he?" The wildcat is drawn perfectly under Blisa's expert paw. "Maybe Redwall will recognize him...I'll send a copy to them. I'll see you later, Patch." The cat closes her sketchbook once the drawing is done and leaves the tavern, her bodyguards close behind (as always!), headed to find her blackbirds to enlist their help...
