Characters involved: Taye & Terrance.

Salamandastron: Niche

Taye has the night shift on sentry duty. Fittingly, he's falling asleep against a wall, his eyes drifting shut and his spear slipping from his grip.

Terrance comes out from the mountain, stretching around a bit and yawning. But he's out here because he hasn't been able to sleep. As such he is wearing a pair of shorts and a loose shirt rather then his uniform. He grins as he spots Taye nodding off and comes up behind him. "Atten-tion!" he shouts, trying to make his voice low.

He manages it, and Taye's whole body jerks into wakefulness. Of course, in his surprise he drops his spear. But at least he doesn't hurt himself like he usually does. He ignores the dropped spear and turns, practically smacking himself in his forehead in order t o salute quickly, turning and staring squinty-eyed. It takes him a few seconds to figure who it is as his vision clears and then... he slumps. "Aw, geeze. Terr." Fizz.

Terrance grins and leans against the mountain as he laughs a bit. "Sorry Taye" Hehe "Couldn't resist."

Taye's nose wrinkles and he shoves at Terr's shoulder playfully. "Yeah, yeah... Well, 'least it woke me up." He ducks down and plucks up his spear, leaning it against the wall. He yawns. "Not lookin' forward t' bein' out here all night."

Terrance chuckles a little more "Well I think I'd bettah make sure ta lock my door when I go ta bed if you're keepin' tha mountain safe chap." The younger hare says, grinning wide. "How long is your shift?"

Taye rolls his eyes at Terrance's wide grin and down he drops, to lean against the wall with his knees drawn up. "Oh, geeze... 'til dawn, I guess. Whenevah the mornin' shift comes 'round."

Terrance winces, "Ouch. Well I guess that's one o' tha 'privlages' that comes with rank that tha instructahs are always harpin' about."

Taye smirks up at taye, nodding. "Aye, privilege." He thunks his head back against the wall and laughs - though it's one of those that ends in an 'ungh'. "What're you still doin' up?"

Terrance quirks a brow at the head banging and chuckles a little. "Oh couldn't sleep is all. Arm bugs me a lot."

Taye looks around at Terrance, eyeing his arm. "Yer arm?"

Terrance nods, "Aye, the one that Tom and them always hit. They haven't hit me in a while but somehow they always get the same spot so the bruise never gets a chance to heal. It's pretty big and dark now actually. I'm hoping that Lt. Darklett bought some time for it to heal up a little."

Taye's nose wrinkles and, well. He scowls. "What, they still botherin' ya? Even aftah ya threw the one o' me fer a loop in the melee?"

Terrance hehs and nods, "Aye. Lt. Darklett walked in as Tom and Flatpaw and a couple o' others were pushing me around in tha hall. He gave them a nice chewing, but somehow I think it will only make things worse in tha end." He frowns a bit, "But at least I've gotten a little bit o' a break from it."

Taye's scowl deepens somewhat, and he stares off towards the entrance. "... Mm. Righ'."

Terrance stares off towards...nothing really. "Hm. Think tiredness finally caught up with me. Well have fun chap. See ya on tha flip side." He says standing and meandering towards the enterance

Taye glances around and watches Terrance move off. He doesn't say anything for the moment and instead turns to watch the sand, again, frowning thoughtfully as he does so. Something needs to be done about those bullies...
