Sgts. Terrence and Zolomon, hares.

It has been a strange past few days for Terrence - while he had not ever heard the full tale of why there were so many foreign visitors from the far off Redwall at the mountain, he had heard there was certain amount of danger. After all, not just any beast could harm a badger such as the one called Xander (who, the sergeant recalled, he had met some eight seasons ago when Terrence was a newly made corporal - he'd met Zolomon at the same time). So now the bespectacled hare had gone out of the mountain with several of the privates and lance-corporals of his squad to scout the surrounding shore in pairs. Strictly speaking, none of them were acting on any orders besides Terrence's, but, as he watched the four pairs of hares disappear over the dunes and hills in various directions, he doubted anyone higher up would take too much issue with the unofficial action. So now he stands alone, glancing briefly at the sea and the sun reflected in it. "I'm more than likely being paranoid," he mutters to himself, "But I suppose they say bettah safe than sorry."

Zolomon steps out from the mountain and sits down on the sand.He picks some up and lets it shift threw his fingers as he sits quietly on the sand.

Terrence ears shoot upright and he turns on his heel. After a moment of scanning the surroundings he relaxes his grip on his sword hilt and nods to the sitting hare. "Zolomon." He says, stiffly. "I suppose I should congratulate you on the promotion." The bespectacled buck is clearly feeling rather mixed about it all.

Zolomon spins around and starts to salute then oh yeah same rank "Hallo Terrence, you seem..jumpy then suppose I am too."

With a grunt Terrence nods. "I daresay with good reason." He turns back to look out at the sea. "I haven't been able to get any information really beyond the rumahs flying about the mess halls." There's a pause, then he adds, "Meaning the visitors, that is. Do you know anything?"

Zolomon sighs, "Slavers... got away on some ship" He frowns " One of the visitors is my friend, he was poisoned. A hare maid is... a little ill, the other visitors are fine... tried from a 4 day trip upshore."

"I did hea'h about the badgah, yes." Terrence turns back to look at the other sergeant with a raised eyebrow, "He's named Xandah, right? I believe I met him back when you were still part of the Mossflowah Group." Tapping the sword hilt, Terrence starts pacing up and down in the sand. "Of course, do they know anything about were the slavish went to? As fah as I'm aware, there isn't any way of tracking a boat that's already set sail - especially if they're days ahead..."

Zolomon says, "No clue sur and..yeah his name is Xander and right now he is still in a deep faint" He shrugs " I..don't know, maybe a...vision thing, his Lordship knew there would be visators just not when, nor why.""

Terrence stops in his tracks at the word vision, and he quickly hides the small grin. "So I've heard. But I was hoping fo'h something more concrete, if that makes sense? And I do hope this Xandah'll recovah - perhaps the vistitah's have a good idea to find the slavahs. Hmm."

Zolomon says, "I heard all the dibbuns from Redwall, and some from Mossflower were taken captive, they did rescue 1 dibbun but only cause one of the slavers seemed to of... got left behind, or was going elsewhere, all the other slavers escaped. Sorry don't know much else, missed some of the chatting."

"I see..." With a shrug Terrence plops himself down in the sand to sit across from Zolomon. "And there's no need to apologize fo'h not knowing. I don't know if they've talked to anyone about all the details except the Badgeh Lord and the staff officers... I wondah if they learned anything from that slavah who as you say was left behind?"

Zolomon snorts, "Heard he lost his head... he's the one who had the poison. Other than that, no and not asked or talked to the visitors too much. A couple GUOSIM shrews, Redwall champ, Xander and a hare maid..and 2 mice." He adds at the end "The dibbun is a badger cub... the cub doesn't like me though."

Terrence gives the other sergeant a long look. "I daresay I've heard that badgeh cubs generally don't like many creatures, and frankly it doesn't really mattah so don't you go beating yourself up about it." He sighs, muttering. "Oh well fo'h the Slavah. I suppose the Redwallers have that no prisoner policy, don't they? bah.

Zolomon shrugs " I..have no clue then the Long Patrol don't take captives either and sounds like this slaver was dangerous likely was thar to make sure some..boss maybe, escaped... I didn't here who the leader of the slavers was though maybe a meeting will be called and updates made"

"I hope so." Terrence refrains form commenting further on the subject of prisoners, instead saying, "Eithah way I could do well knowing the information, as I don't like being in the dark even if it's strictly speaking not quite ou'h right to know how things in the brass work."

Zolomon says, "Maybe...one of the visitors know. I mean of course they would know." He again frowns" I just hope Xandy wakes up..he looked horrible and all...limp and..so close to death and make no response when his Lordship carried him inside, like...none and maybe he will die after all...I ...I don't know" His one ear droops "I had to leave the infirm"

Terrence stays quiet, nodding slowly. After a few moments he stands again, looking briefly at Zolomon with a crease in his forehead. "I'm sure the badgeh'll be alright."

Zolomon nods " I...hope so, he's my friend." He looks at the surf "I am gonna stay out here a little while"

"I understand." Terrence dips his head in a sort of small bow, turning to face the mountain. "Sergeant Zolomon, would you do me a favah? When Greenhill, Reuenthal, Flightfoot," he rattles off, "And Attenborough - meaning that Konnah, if you remember him - and the others that were paired with them get back, can you tell them I'll be back inside? Of course," he adds, thinking, "They more than likely won't be back today."

Zolomon frowns, " I can...want me to find them, get them back and inside?"

Terrence sharply turns, "No, no - I sent them scouting fo'h a reason." He shrugs. "I just meant if they come back with anything to report I want them to know were I am. I actually doubt they'll be back any time within the next day, but that's just a hunch of mine. There isn't much dangeh of the slavahs if they all got on a ship and sailed off."

Zolomon nods.He supposes he could go inside soon since nothing would be found of least those slavers. "Alright then." He will stay here a little longer and then just have sentries keep watch.
