Characters involved: Quinten, Malica, Ender, Darklett, & Quinten.

Salamandastron: Infirmary

Quinten laughs "Really? All i know is i don't trust those blighters in the kitchens not after spending three hours working in them yesterday"

Malica grins "Oh really?"

Quinten sighs and nods "Yes, i spoke back to an officer, yet again, seems i have the terrible habit of speaking when i shouldn't"

Malica nods "I think that it would be best to learn to do otherwise."

Quinten sighs ad sits down on the edge of the cot and shrugs "I've been trying, i'm just having a bit of difficulty slipping into this here military structure."

Ender grunts and wakes as a nurse tentatively taps him with her paw. "I'm afraid you're free to go, Ender." She says, before fleeing into a cabinet. "I'll return some of your personal effects in a moment, wot!" She calls out. Ender stretches and yawns before grinning and glancing around the room. "Free!" He crows before leaping off the cot and heading towards the door.

"But it hurts so bad, sah!" A voice comes around the bend from the infirmary of a young hare, most probably a recruit.

"Well, maybe next time you won't leave your nose unguarded. Heh." Darklett's voice follows, and the lieutenant, as well as the aforementioned recruit who is sporting a nice nosebleed. "Go get some gauze." He pats the recruit on the back, sending him on his way, when he spots Ender making his exit. "Ah, well, you look like a brand new rabbit, Ender. Released?"

Quinten looks up as the officer enters and frowns trying to remember if he knows this one, so many faces to remember, he decides it might be best to just throw a salute and make an exit before he gets asked to speak.

Ender deftly grabs a few pieces of tattered clothing, some shells, and his cane from the nurse, who again quickly retreats, this time towards the recruit. "Well what else would, erm, I be running out of this place for, eh?" Ender may not seem entirely well, but he is at least excited. "An' I know just how I'm going to celebrate, eh?" He winks at Darklett.

Darklett's left eyebrow raises quizzically. "You do?" He thinks a moment, paws going to his pockets after a brief shrug. "...Well, how -are- you going to celebrate? You're not thinking of another walk, are you?" He asks this more hopefully than disapprovingly.

Quinten looks at Malica and stands up "Well i had best be heading out, should go do something constructive with my free time

Malica nods "Alright, See you around Quinten."

After visiting all of the areas on the first two floors, Taye's courier duty has brought him finally to the infirmary and its inhabitants. His sack is mostly empty at this point, and so when he enters the room and starts calling out names, it doesn't take him long to get through them all. Ender's is the last named called.

Ender glares at Malica, noting her yet again, as if for the first time. He is about to answer Darklett when his attention diverts to Taye. "Eh? Sommat for me?" Ender walks over next to Taye and holds out his paw. "Give it here, eh?"

Darklett's attention is already on Taye, and when his name isn't called, he looks a little disappointed. However, he steps out of the way, letting Ender head on over to Taye to collect his mail. "Ah, whatcha get, Ender?" He heads on over to the same vicinity, close enough to still be in his presence, but distant enough to not be invasive.

Quinten begins to make his way towards the door, glancing nervously at Darklett and trying not to catch his eyes, he has no idea if he's supposed to salute or not and is just hoping he can get out of the door

Malica smiles sweetly at Ender when he glares at her.

Taye looks around at Ender when the request is given and he reshoulders his pack, holding out the small envelope. "Here ya go, sah." A nod is given to Darklett. "Sah, when I couldn't find ya I slipped yer mail undah yer door. Coupla things. Reports, I think."

Ender takes the note from Taye's paw and looks at it. "Oh, bah." He mutters. Looking up, he walks back towards the door. "Got to watch another little, erm, hare." He says to Darklett. "But for now I'm going to head downstairs, eh?"

Darklett smiles a little hopefully at Taye's explanation, and looks back to Ender. "Ah, I see. Well, let's head on downstairs." He heads towards the door. "Thankya, Taye." He pauses and lets Ender lead, wondering just what sort of celebration he had in mind. o.o

Quinten edges over towards Taye and speaks softly to him "Excuse me...could i ask a questio?"

Malica starts to stand, Of course most likely she is stopped by the healers as she just got the bandages off yesterday..

Taye grins at Darklett. "Aye, sah." He salutes as the lieutenant heads for the door, then at the edging Quinten, he blinks. He looks to the side, his salute dropping partways, his paw just kind of hanging in the air for the moment. "Uh. Sure. Whatcha need?"

Ender taps against the floor with his cane, rather hard. "Make the fox sit down, eh?" He says, a trace of command in his voice. Ender then turns to the door and boldly strides out.

Darklett's ears flick at Ender's order, and he turns to Malica. The healers are already taking care of the situation on their own, so he goes to follow the rabbit, looking over his shoulder apologetically to the vixen, whether she's looking or not.

Malica is looking and smiles slightly, Sitting back down..

Quinten shuffles and flicks his ears from side to side then finally speaks "I know your on duty like...and sory to bother you, its just i'm still very unsure on how i'm suposed to be acting....i've not really been able to track anyone down to ask about it"

Taye looks the older hare over uncertainly, then shrugs. "Not a bothah, sah. I've just finished." He gestures to his empty pack, then hms. "Yer new to the mountain? Have you been sorted out with a uniform 'n' all that?" Pause. He holds out a paw. "I'm Taye, by the way."

Quinten nods his head "I'm new yes, arrived the other day," he plucks his most irregular clothing "And no, I've not been sorted out with anything so far, just left to dangle my paws really."

Malica sits on her bed looking sympathetically at any wounded beasts in the area..

Taye frowns slightly. "Ahh, well, that's no good then. D'ya know what your rank's s'posed t' be?" He looks towards the door after the direction Darklett's gone, wishing he'd stuck around for a bit longer. Officers are good.

Quinten thinks and tugs on one of his ears "I'm just a fresh recruit, thats all i know"

Malica sighs slightly, She so wishes to help but..

Taye quirks a brow in surprise. "A recruit, huh? Well... a'right, then." He directs Quinten towards the door. "We'll go getcha set up with a uniform 'n' all. A'right?"

Quinten nods and heads towards the door "ok then, thanks for the help Taye, I'm Quinten i've been at a total loss since i arrived"

Taye waves the thanks away and shakes his head. "No problem, Quinten. We'll get ya sorted." He pushes the door open and nods for Quint to pass before him.

Quinten heads through the door, throwing a final farewell wave at the vixen then he murmurs quietly to Taye "uhm...should i be calling you sir like? I have no clue"
