Salamandastron: Dining Chamber

  • -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Salamandastron *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

This is the dining chamber for the mountain of Salamandastron. It is a

veritable cavern, the necessity of feeding so many hares making the room

so big. Dominating the room is a huge banquet table made of solid oak.

Nobeast knows how such a venerable object came to be here, but its

presence is undeniable. Smaller tables skirt the outside of the room,

each sitting near a large torch burning brightly in its sconce. The chair

at the head of the table is different from the plain maple chairs that

occupy the rest of the room - it belongs to the Badger Lord. The massive

object is graced with a carving of the very mountain it is in, with the

sun setting over the sea.

Hares: Flint, male. Windrose, female. Felicity, female.

Mice: DoraRose, female.

Flint steps into the dinning hall and smiles as he walks over to Windrose, "I managed to find some strawberry fizz, cooks didn't seem to mind that I took some" He chuckles a little as he sits beside her and pours her a glass.

Windrose smiles and nods "Its fine dear." She takes a glass and a small sip and smiles still "It's good"

Flint nods "I am glad its good" He gets himself some Fizz as well and takes a couple sips of it. "So...plans today?"

Windrose shakes her head "Not really. I already did a jog and some training in the training room."

The door to the main hallway opens, admitting DoraRose and Felicity. The hare is looking at the mouse, listening to whatever she's saying with great intensity. The Warriormouse spots the 2 hares and makes her way over to them, gently guiding the Patroller so she doesn't run into anything. "Well, hello. Do you know what they're serving?" Dora asks politely as Lissie, having realized her uncle's in here, goes to hug him.

Flint nods and blinks as he is hugged and returns the hug before answering "Sorry don't jolly well know, we were just having some strawberry fizz and talking some about the day."

Windrose smiles "Hallo you two. It might be fish or maybe some sort of stew...don't know" She takes a drink of the fizz.

DoraRose refrains from pretending to gag, although she does wrinkle her nose. Eeeew, seafood. "Er, thanks. I hope it doesn't have...scallops or clams or whatever in it...." she goes to see about what food they have. Lissie grins at her uncle as she plops into the seat beside him. "Where'd ya get the strawberry fizz? I didn't think we had any, wot! 'Lo, Miss Windrose!"

Flint grins "In the kitchens, they seem bit busy and thought be good ta celebrate some news me and Windrose have taht ya may be interested in" Yeh there is other news but he has yet to know of it yet.

Windrose smiles, she will let Flint tell her as she shrugs to the mousemaid "I am unsure, sorry. They may have some other choice as well"

DoraRose nods. After a while she returns with a tray full of food. Sitting down, she grins happily. "They had good vegetable stew and bread and winter salad. No icky seafood thingies." She starts tucking in with a will. Felicity scoots in her chair to be a little closer to her uncle. "Oh? What news is it?" She smiles.

Flint tilts his head "Seafood be good lass" He grins and then, oh yeah the news as he smiles at Windrose and back to his niece "Me and Windrose be engaged now, gonna find a place in the jolly old village to wed...errr not sure when no set date yet"

Windrose smiles "There is no hurry on a date for it dear, we will find a good place and time and let others have time to know about it"

The smile vanishes from Lissie's face and is replaced by a look of pure surprise. "Waitwhat?" Dora looks back and forth between the 2 hares, her spoon paused halfway between her stew and her mouth. ".....I can move and let y'all have some privacy if that'd be helpful...."

Flint frowns "Me and...Windrose are gonna get married, well sometime soon...why?" Ok now he is worried, maybe he should of asked first, well no he is an adult he doesn't need to ask.

Windrose sits quietly and goes to lay a paw on Flints shoulder, "Give her time dear, ok?"

DoraRose sets her spoon down and grabs the edge of her tray, looking at the hares, ready to leave if it should seem like a good idea. Felicity stutters a couple times, then manages to whisper, "It...I....this is....um, unexpected, Uncle Flint." She doesn't look mad or sad or anything, just shocked and surprised.

Flint just smiles "Well..I love her and she loves me, maybe one day your find your special someone too and your understand better"

Windrose stands "I will let you two talk I need to go check on some things, talk later"

Lissie hesitates, then nods a couple times. "Oh....okay, Uncle Flint. I trust you. As....as long as you're both 'appy and dedicated to each-othah like Mum and Da were. I......yeah." she goes to hug him, still feeling blindsided by the sudden news, but not feeling mad or sad. She'll probably feel happy for them later. DoraRose relaxes and nibbles on her bread.

Flint smiles and hugs her as well "I am sorry if didn't let ya know sooner, only been maybe a short few days so far, guess we both just been busy"

Nodding, Felicity goes to hide her face in his shoulder. "It's alright. I'm not mad. I was just....startled, is all." Dora starts eating her soup again after saying, "Congratulations. You both must be very happy. I know I was when Leon and I got engaged. One of the happiest days of my life."

Flint smiles "Thanks, ya can even come to the wedding if your still here but I be pretty sure we will have it soon, in next few weeks maybe"

DoraRose smiles and inclines her head. "Thank you. I am very honoured. It would be a pleasure. I'm sure my husband and our Abbey Recorder would love to attend, too." Lissie lifts her head and smiles a tiny bit. "I'll help you decorate, if you'll be decoratin'. I....I 'ope you'll be 'appy." She sounds like she means it, too.

Flint smiles wide "Well first is ta find a place and...well a beast that would wed me and Windrose, but I gots some jolly good ideas"

DoraRose grins. "Leon and I had a plan to go to the little village you have about 2 hours away." "Y'mean 'Alyard?" Lissie offers helpfully. The mouse nods. "Yeah, Halyard. I'm sure Leon would be okay with us accompanying you as we all 3 go there." "4. Maybe 5 if Miss Windrose wants to come, too." The auburn-furred haremaid smiles shyly. "I wanna help..."

Flint nods "Always good to bally well not travel alone, could be dangerous out there sometimes."

DoraRose nods. "Aye. I've experienced the dangers first-paw." Felicity frowns a little. "I always patrol alone. I'm always careful. What's so bad about it?"

Flint explains "Well, anything can happen...possible slavers in a boat or just rough beasts in town. There is also sea gulls, though they don't always seem a danger unless you interrupt their ideas for lunch like I did one day"

"Or you could fall into a hole and die," is Dora's helpful statement. Felicity looks very troubled and scoots back in her chair and pulls her feet up onto the seat. "But......but but but......"

Flint frowns, he is not sure what the mousemaid means, he turns back to the other hare "Just...be careful if ya go out alone. But ...well I am sure ya can use your skills good, I did and yes I have gone out by my self before lass, and wasn't always good...been out with a couple others and that wasn't totally good either while back."

Flint says, "I also have my longbow, its helpful and it helped save a dibbun and possibly the ambassador the one day"

DoraRose goes to finish her food. Lissie rests her nose between her knees, ears drooping. ".....you're the one who 'elped Miss Zinnia and little Xander?"

Flint nods "Yeah...I was coming back from a patrol, when I saw them, she was carrying the dibbun running and had yelled for help...and 3 sea gulls were trying to get her and the dibbun." He remembers that day, yep he does "Also some vixen was there, but she did help fight the sea gulls and she went to that village afterwards." He looks at Felicity "Guess forgot to tell you, I did report to Ciocan about it as he was curious wot blooming happen cause...well the ambassador was injured..her shoulder got talon marks on it, all 3 of the gulls were killed and I went back a short time later to...well" He frowns and looks down "Took a group of other hares with me....had to tend to something"

DoraRose has finished eating and very quietly takes her dirty dishes to where dirty dishes are supposed to go. Felicity lifts her head a little. "Were ya buryin' Xander's Mum? He told me yesterday that she wouldn't wake up."

Flint nods slowly and looks a bit sad "yeah...she was the only other one there, some other beast had found a journal, her name was Sunflower think it was. I thought it the right thing to do...to be respectful"

Smiling a little, Lissie says quietly, "I think you did the /best/ thing, Uncle Flint. You're the best uncle evah." Dora comes back and sits down opposite the male hare. "Did you find anything else of interest on the wreckage, such as anything that would indicate where they came from?"

Flint shakes his head "No...it was a small boat, they didn't even have supplies, but maybe the storm did something the boat was damaged and think crashed on shore..." He sighs "It was also cold I am surprised the dibbun wasn't cold, I think his mother may of keep him warm, but died of a wound she had from the crash. I don't think she had died that long before things happen with those sea gulls, but luckily the sea gulls were killed or chased off and they seemed more interested in the dibbun some reason...maybe they just decided he was helpless and could be...well caught easily or worse, he is lucky Ms. Zinnia was there and they are both lucky I was in the area."

And then Flint was called away OOCly and we had to quit :( He was like, "We can say he got called away ICly" so that works :) Thanks for reading!
