Players:Flicktail, Silver, Biff, Hafyaramla, Benar, Adora, Flowerbud, Oz, Asher

Location: Redwall Abbey- Cavern Hole

Hafyaramla sort of hop skips down the stairs, Ah...beasts about. but all she does is sigh in a resigned way. It's become too much effort to avoid beasts. She leans against a nearby table and pulls out her pipe, fiddling with it silently.

Silver laugh's."All i know is she fell in the pond and i saved her...she is also blind and lost her family..."

Flicktail says, "there be a lot of losin family round lately....verra sad"

Silver nod's his head."Aye i feel bad..."he rub's his head."This may be crazy but oz told me i should adopt her...and i like the plan..."

There is a small 'fwwshhh!' sound as the doe lights her pipe, temporarily disappearing behind a cloud of smoke. She stays a good distance away from the group still, but an ear is trained in their direction, idly listening.

Flicktail says, "ye's makes a good Pappa hare ere Sil-fur" he turns and see's Ram "Ello Ram a lama"

Biff nod's her head."Me too silver..."

Benick reaches out struggling trying to get to Biff's ear

Silver laugh's."Well i hope that she think's that...but how should i ask her?"

Flicktail says, "if you just love er..she will ask you"

Silver shrug's."That sound's like a good plan..."

Hafyaramla acknowledges the greeting with an indifferent paw, sliding back so she is now sitting on the table. Quiet today. But it's better she's quiet than cross and complaining. Although she does scoff a bit at the mention of love.

Biff laugh's and pat's the little fox's head."Wot is your name little one?"

Benick's fur is thick and soft as he's patted he gives a toothless grin. Flicktail looks over "thet be me little Benick.....Benar and Flicktail combined”

Benar walks back into cavern hole carrying Adora "Ok Flicktail, this is Adora she is blind and scared of vermin. Adora this is Flicktail"

Biff laugh's."I like the name..."

Flicktail turns to look at the Rabbit "ello Adora, at be a pretty name. Oi be sory if ou scared ya, oi did not mean to.

Adora frowns,she reaches out slowly to touch his face, or what ever is closest to her.

Silver laugh's."He is and otterfox!"

Flicktail will lean down gently and let her hands explore his face.

Benar smiles and nods to Flicktail "See Adora, this is Flicktail he is not scary at all."

Biff laugh's."If you are an otterfox flicktail...would benick be one to...or would he be just a fox?"

Adora tilts her head confused, "Otter...fox?" she sucks her thumb now all confused and then speaks, "Hows...hows both?"

Benar says, "He lived with otters for awhile so he calls himself an otter fox"

Flicktail glances over with a smile, careful not to move while Adora is touching him "he be otterfox thru an thru....." he then says gently to Adora "Am Oi still scary?

Adora smiles after a while and giggles, "You..soft"

Biff laugh's."Well i guess you are an otterfox than benick!"

Silver laugh's.

Adora nods as she is sit down.

Silver says, "i guess he like's you more biff"

Flicktail chuckles to Adora "well thank ye, commin from such a pretty lil gel”

Benick keeps trying to reach that hare's ear...his small paws reaching

Hafyaramla watches the whole scene with a mask of vague disinterest. She watches biff and the babe in particular, her nose twitching. The doe ought to be ready to have a spitty ear.

Benick grips the ear and begins gumming it happily, untill....*NIP* uh oh milk teeth

Adora reaches out a paw to tell who is beside her.

Biff laugh's."How does it tast?"

Flicktail is still beside Adora

Benick's needle sharp teeth are QUITE shapr as she gets a nother *NIP* and says "Goo gooo”

Adora feels Flicktail and giggles at the soft fur, its so soft she yawns and gets tried.

Biff smile's not leting the teeth bug her."Would you like some food...it would taste better than my ear!"

Benick seems interested in the ear, and more in teething then in eating

Adora soon falls asleep on Flicktails lap, he makes a soft bed.

Flicktail gently pets the sleeping rabbit

Biff frown's."Ok you can let go...I still use my ear you know!"

Flowerbud smoothly descends the stairs from the Great Hall, as if unburdened by the weight of age. A mild expression closer to a grimace than a smile plays across her lips, and she jostles her spectacles a bit on her nose. Her eyes seem to still be adjusting to the relatively dim interior of this room. Unconsciously, a paw rises to stroke the brooch on her chest before she proceeds further into the room.

Silver laugh's."let's hope he will not eat your ear!"

Flicktail smiles at Flowerbud "umm please fergive me fer not rising Marm..but oi seem ta ave a sleepin rabbit in me lap

Hafyaramla is sat near the entrance. And as such, any beast who wishes to travel to or from the Great Hall must past through the haze of her pipe smoke. She puffs away, whether aware or not of what she is doing to the air in her very near vicinity. Perhaps this is the reason, though, for her sitting so far away from the others.

Biff laugh's."I say we like to be called hare's!"

Even in the flickering firelight, the old squirrel's aspect is stern, severe, even, and she listens without humor to the gathered beasts. So stoic is she that she starts at Flicktail's address. "Of course," she says curtly, without offering an introduction.

Benik looks up from Biff's ear and says with a toothless grin "AIRS!”

Biff nod's her head."Aye hare's!" she pull's her ear's away so he can no grab them but than pull's a carrot out of her pack and hand's it to the fox dibbun.

Oz walks into the cavern hole rubbing his neck a little, he sits down in a chair and looks tried.

Benick looks at the crrot with fastination "ooooooo!: drooling down his chin

Silver nod's his head."Hello my friend..."

Asher follows closely in behind Oz, hiding behind the bigger badger before scurrying under one of the tables.

Biff laugh's and wipe's the drool away."Aye i love carrot's also!"

Flicktail looks to the new Squirrel, as Abbey mice bring out more food and drink for everyone, some in green habits sit listening to the conversation, he see's Oz and aves "Got a Rabbit in me lap" he smileds, as benic see's the Badger and calls out "OZ!

Benick begins gumming the carrot, which seems to feel good on his teeth

Flowerbud steps away from the base of the stairs toward Hafyaramla. She still wears mask of faint distaste even as she nods in salutation to the hare. After a pause, she pipes up, "Must you smoke that pipe in here?" She coughs as if to emphasize the point.

Oz nods slowly,he catches sight of Asher out of th corner of his eye and sighs,well one escape bed looks like.He looks to the rabbit now, "Must like you flicky"

Asher pokes his head out to investigate, staring up at the beast, "Bunch of grownies cept that there rabbit, " He says quietly to himself before pulling his head back under the table.

Silver laugh's."Well hello ash..."

Flicktail says, "Ello Asher"

Hafyaramla had, in fact, been thinking about leaving. The room was getting far too crowded for her taste. Actually, it was too crowded when she entered. But her pride and spite are stronger than her distaste for crowds and she swivels towards Flowerbud, crossing her legs and staying firmly put. "I musn't...But I do."

Blast! He's been spotted, and overheard it seems. Asher eyes the grownies addressing him, smiles and moves out from under the table grinning as he gives a wave.

Flowerbud's eyes flash momentarily at Hafyaramla's irreverent retort, an expression the old lady quickly softens with a blank smile. "Reports of Redwall's welcoming arms are much exaggerated, I see." Her own pride fixes her paws where they are.

Oz sits up and yawns,he clears his thoat "Dibbuns have a lot of energy,would think ran out of it during a snow ball fight but nope,..still enough to bounce here,and bounce there..run away from baths and.."he chuckles some.

Silver laugh's.'That was fun...'

Hafyaramla offers her most used smile. It is not a friendly one, closer to a sneer than anything else. It's quite unnecessary. And really, she's been in such a good mood lately... "as welcoming as tha welcomah deems tha guest is worthy." Puff. Puff. Smile.

Oz chuckles"They buried you in the snow Silver"

Flicktail looks to Flowerbud "um Marm, plenty o room over ere away from at....please ave a seat this be a place o peace fer all....

Biff laugh's."It was fun!"

Oz smiles,he even had fun as he nods "Yes it was, haven't had fun in seasons"He now chuckles warmly.

Flicktail gently moves Adora to a soft Pillow and covers her with a warm blanket leaving her with an abbey mouse to see she gets a bed "well all oi be out to check e abbey walls

Flowerbud matches her new adversary's sneer with another selection from her capacious supply of unfriendly visages. "Ladies do not smoke pipes where I come from, dear. So I did not take you for one." With that bitter remark, she starts, straight-backed, toward the occupied tables.

Oz is tried still but willing to talk.

Biff laugh's."Wot a odd day!"

Silver laugh's."Every day is an odd day biff!"

Oz nods "Yes was a bit odd,then so was last night...ferret with a fork,odd"

Hafyaramla scoffs again and hops of the table. With Flicktail gone, really she has lost her only friend in the room. "Pfah! Wheah I come from, beasts do not criticize othahs fah their own habits...Neither do they at tha Abbey...But enjoy yaself finding that out tha long way!" And with that, the doe struts up to the Great Hall to find someplace less...occupied.

Asher watches the fox be off and Adora quiet asleep. Looking from beast to beast quietly, staring at Flowerbud in particular.
