Anger Issues
Location: Great Hall
Characters: Flicktail, Z'Fingo, Aikuen, Zen, Skuld, Lonergan
Flicktail smiles to the Otter making sure he's still staying off the booze
Z'Fingo doesn't know what to say to any of this. He just stares with his hood at the runes, wondering what to make of this gypsy cat and her fortune-telling. He turns and smiles unseen at Flicktail, nodding slightly in realization of this, before staring at the characters being placed down in front of him. He moves to sit a bit closer, "I think this is silly... how could you possibly know anything about me?" How could she?
Aikuen comes in from the entry, his fur all fuzzed out due to the high winds today. He gives a wave/salute to Flicktail before finding his favorite spot at the table. He seems happy, at least happier than he has been for the last few days.
Flicktail offers Aikuen some hot root soup and soem cherry cordial
Aikuen gladly accepts the bowl but refuses the drink, "Ye know i cant drink that stuff... im trying to stay off it" He looks to see who else is in the room. He sees the cat... probably fortune telling again... And a mouse he has never meet before...
Flicktail says, "it be just fruit...no stuff wtmakes yer ead urt inna morn"
The song may have become a hum, but the kittens still swaying. "How is it silly, have they been wrong? It is not /I/ who know. But they are telling me." She's focusing on her pouch, and this final character which she places on the table. "Hagl. You fear your limitations. And the cost upon the life that they have interrupted." She's grinning coldly now, finally looking to the hooded mouse.
Zen swallows the candied nut then smiles oddly. He seems a bit overcome by something. The words rang thorugh out his head as if an echo that never died. "An eye for an eye. A tooth for a tooth. Run, run, run, but you sure can't hide." He seemed almost mezmerized by the words, that's when he's glance caught Aikuen. He grinned wildly, "Hello..."
Flicktail says, "oi wonder if e kitty woudl tell ME fortune"
Aikuen still shakes his head. He knows better, his father was a brewer. "Sorry mate, ill just have the soup thanks..." He winks at Flicktail before devouring, quite noisily, the soup.
Flicktail didn't knwo so he goes and gets just Cherry JUICE
Flicktail watches the kitty closely
Aikuen quickly finishes the bowl of soup, It was his first meal of the day. He accepts the Cheery Juice and drinks it faster than a blink of an eye. placing it on the table he smiles and winks at Zen, "Lo' mate!"
Z'Fingo is leaning fully forward out of the side of the chair, over its arm, studying the runes closely, when he falls head-first out of it! His robe falls down over his head, revealing deep tear-marks and jagged, furless hide on the mouse's back. He quickly rights himself, managing not to let the hood fall down as he backs away from the cat, "Y-you'uh runes know nothing, they are pieces of wood!" In his frustration and embarrassment he snaps at Zen, "Oh, quit that /stupid/ tune!" This excitement sends him into a bout of hysterical coughing, one erupting out of him so forcefully that he almost loses his footing.
Flicktail frwns and goesoverto lend Z'Fingo a hand, holdinghim a bit so he doesn't fall and helping him withhis robe "careful ere me little one....kin oi elps ya at alls?
Skuld is looking for Z'Fingo's reactions, with a particularly nasty grin, which only widens when he does react, and the events that follow. "They are messages. How could they know anything?" She scoops them up to place back in the pouch. "I like the song, Zen." Her voice, eerily calm though clear and serious. She stares at the fox as he moves to help the mouse.
Flicktail waggles his fingers friendly like to Skuld "oi loikes yer wood things..they seem verra smart
Zen's odd attitude nearly turns around completely, his eyes glaring over at Z'Fingo. He, chuckles? "Hehe, it's a nice tune to me too. Hehe, it... seems to me, it's a rather fitting song for me and you." He directs the you part to Z'Fingo oddly. "Heh... don' you understand the song?" He smiles and nods his head, his red eyes glowing with a lustful glow. "An eye for an eye... hehe..."
Z'Fingo retracts his paw from the fox nastily, feeling bad as he looks up at Flicktail. He finds the arm of another chair and leans on it, holding the other paw to his mouth as a particularly nasty-sounding cough explodes out of him. It's much too crowded around here now. He manages a hoarse, raspy reply to Flicktail, "No, I don't.. need it. And I d.. don't need to be told who I am... by a strangah!" He stares at the cat. Then, only a confused expression (again unseen) at the dibbun. His head tilts, "What in the name of..." He backs away, from /everybody/.
Flicktail doesn't persue the mouse, best notto scare him, he instead looks to teh cat and bows "pleasue to meet you Marm
Aikuen frowns, that stupid cat been causing problems again... At least that's what he thinks it is... He keeps an eye on Zen.
Skuld regards the fox, though she has a last comment for Z'Fingo. "I did not tell you who you were, did I? I told you what they said. And you named yourself." Zen's actions get a much truer, little grin, and then she's regarding Flicktail with her odd stare. "May I know your name?"
Zen smiles and continues to hum that odd tune, something obviously not right with him. He swayed back and forth as he moved over to rest in a chair, the song ringing in his head over and over, again and again with seemingly no end!
Flicktail hops the felien will offer her paw, and he smiles"Oi be flicktail...welcome Amrm..kin oi get ye anythings?
Z'Fingo looks at Flicktail, "No...! Don't tell huh!" He wishes he didn't feel so vulnerable under this veil of secrecy he's wearing - otherwise he'd make his opinion of the cat known. All he does is watch from behind a chair, a sniveling, coughing wreck of a mouse. He feels faint too, but manages to stay upright.
Skuld doesn't seem likely to offer her paw, until she starts to eye the fox's fur. That nasty little grin is sent Z'Fingo's way, before she reaches out. "May I take a strand of your fur, Flicktail?" At least she's leaving the otter alone, today?
Flicktail says, "if it pleases ya Marm" he smiles warmly"
Aikuen shakes his head, "Dont do it matey!" He makes no motion to stop her or Flicktail.
Zen watches, falling silent. He then glance to Aikuen, an odd look appearing on his face. "Hehe.... I... don't see why not..." He smiles a little and nods. "Didn't hurt me any."
Flicktail says, "thank ya Mate..but Oi think this Cat means no arm....Oi'll trys it" offering teh feline his fluffy tail"
Aikuen slaps his forehead, "Fine... I just wanted to not Encourage her..." He mumbles under his breath, "stupid cat"
Skuld reaches, flashing a triumphant little smile towards Aikuen, especially when Zen pipes up, for Flicktail's tail. She moves to take a strand, or two, rather gently, for her, and place the fur upon the table. Then, her left paw rummages in her pouch, fingers curling around that first character.
Z'Fingo looks in horror as Flicktail hands his /fur/ over to her! "Y... you'uh mad! She'll possess y' forevah!" He growls when the cat looks over at him, and his scarred, bloody paws go back into his sleeves. Good thing he's repulsive, or she might take his!
Flicktail says, "Oi think there be good in beasts, Oi meannone arm, and Oi will be polite andkind to all" he says to Z'Fingo "oi only wish ye woudl let me be yer friend"
Zen's ears perk up. Stupid cat? It was just as he heard then. His face slowly turned into more of a glare, his red eyes seeming a bit dark. He kept a very close eye on Aikuen. He was a big problem and Reaper the Leviathan does not like problems..
Skuld places the first character on the table, and regards Z'Fingo with what looks like surprise. "How on earth could I do that? It's only fur, /Athulus/..." She grins. "And Flicktail's is a question of partnership..." She notes, looking back at the rune. "Giba." She rummages for the second.
Flicktail looks at the piices "Marm, oi doesn't knows wot ay means....
Z'Fingo looks confused at Flicktail... he wants to be his friend? "Fli..." He starts coughing violently again, but when he stops, "Flick... I'm sohrry. And if you /really/ knew me..." He words it carefully, "Knew who I woz... you'uhd think diff'rently." That's all he says. He watches the 'witch', but keeps his peripherals on Flicktail.
Flicktail says, "no oi wouldn't" he says to Z'Fingo "Oi used ta be a terribe beast meself.... and no matter wot, oi woudl be yer friend so long as ye means no arm ta others"
Zen slowly thinks to himself, pondering. He slowly eases up, his gaze drifting off to watch Flicktail and Skuld. He smiled as he watched.
Skuld draws the second character. "The first is your situation. The problem foremost of your mind. Giba tells us it is a question of some partnership... And this," She places the second next to it "The Thorn. You encounter the partnership through luck and good fortune." She's concentrating on drawing the last, digging deep in the pouch.
Z'Fingo shoots a glance back at Flicktail, and answers between coughing, "Me? Terrible?! Wot's terrible ah the things that've happn'd... I see it now, foh wot it is... not me - my /luck/. Nobody can escape that! Luck's skinned me alive and left me /ugly/! Tried to change - but a mouse like me can change ev'rything but his terrible awful bad luck!" He waves a sleeved paw at the cat, "Bah! Enough of you!" He starts to leave.
Aikuen looks at the coughing mouse, "Do ye need something for your cough matey? Sounds just awful" He turns to see the cat taking out her 'runes'. He mutters again, "Oh great, here comes the /magical objects/, what wonders will you bestow on us today."
Flicktail watches Skuld and listens as he replies to Z'Fingo "oi not be affraid o yer luck...Martin E warrior didn't drag me to e dark forrest and turned me fur whoit....so if ye need a friend Oi be ere
Z'Fingo mutters rudely to the otter, "New set of /lungs/, could you manage? Ones that don't puke up blood, would be nice too." Maybe this is /too/ rude? He shoulders past the otter.
Zen glances at Aikuen again, hearing the comments. He shrugs it off though and remains silent, focusing on Skuld and Flicktail. He then gets to his feet, looking around.
Flicktail smiles warmly to Zen
"To some, such scars are not ugliness, but wonders." She addresses the hooded mouse, flatly ignoring Aikuen's comment. "You might even say, /Athulus/, they are the work of fortune's 'artists'..." And the last is drawn and placed. "Beorc. Something new is to grow." She tells the white fox.
Flicktail hoes into his belt and produces a small gold pieace "for you Marm" he smiles offering itto the cat
Aikuen laughs a bit, "Sorry mate... still using mine!" he laughs for quite a while, as though it was hilarious. Then settling down he asks, "Guessing you got pierced in the chest area... or maybe in the back... but same area?" He tilts his head, he generally wants to know.
Zen smlies back to Flicktail, though it's a bit of a quick one. He then moves over to the fireplace. He looks for the poker so he could mess with some of the logs that were burning.
Skuld shakes her head. "I cannot take your gold, Flicktail." The dibbun protests. "Gold is no good."
Flicktail asks, "wot would elp you then Marm? please let me elp ye some" his smile is warm and genuine"
Flicktail treats Skuld like a respected adult...but his warmpth is genuine
Z'Fingo stops dead at the word 'artist'. Nahhhh... she doesn't know /that/. He turns around, though, ignoring Aikuen except for a stray stare as he passes. To the cat, "Listen... *cough* /cat/. I don't know what you mean doing what you'uh doing with these runes... but I don't need it! *cough* I hide from a lot of things now, but I don't hide from my past - it hides from me, and thea'uhs nothing I can do about it but let it slip away. Try you'uh runes and tell me /WHY ME!/"
Zen glances at Z'Fingo a bit curiously, then starts to pad over towards Skuld. He smiles a little and glances at Z'Fingo. He is still silent, just observing others reactions and such.
Skuld places her runes away, back in the pouch, and clutches those strands of white fur, taken earlier. "I have what I wished from you." She tells Flicktail, and then finds herself being confronted by an angry sounding Z'Fingo. She smiles, ever so coldly, at him. "A past cannot hide from its master unless it is lost. And it is only lost when the master gives it up. You do not truly want to know." She turns away and smiles, a little sweetly, at Zen. "Please, would you sing that song again?" And then, she's heading for the fire.
Flicktail says, "Beasts please, is be e abby..do not be angryies.....oi loikes ye all"
Aikuen begins tapping the table absentminded.
Z'Fingo's stare snaps to Zen, as if saying 'I dare you.' He suddenly feels weak and has to sit down, clutching at his sides and coughing. A fine, red mist scatters in the air past the dark recesses of the hood. The mouse rocks forward, dizzied, looking ready to fall forward off the chair at any moment.
Zen blushes softly as he's asked to sing that song again, so he does as he's asked and ignored Z'Fingo. "Of course! I'd love too..." He smiles and repeats the words that seemed to spawn from his mind, singing in a soft and sad sounding tune. "An eye for an eye, A tooth for a tooth. Run, run, run, but you sure can't hide." He smiles widly, his red eyes still seeming to have thier glow, "Do you relay like that song?"
Flicktail sighs
"I do." The cat, confirms for Zen, as she stops by the fire. She looks back, with curious staring eyes, as Z'Fingo coughs, but only reacts to the sight with a smile, before casting the fur into the fireplace, with the aid of a poker. Sure, it'll smell bad, but the kitten doesn't seem to mind at all.
Aikuen leans back in his chair, "Alright mate... when you cant even sit correctly, and coughing up blood... Thinks its time to go see a healer..." But he makes no motion to help Z'Fingo.
Flicktail says to Aikuen "ye kin lead a beast ta water but ye can't makes im drinks
"What the devil was tha'?" A mouse comes into the hall from the stairs, grain sack hat riding a little high on his head, fingers rubbing the insides of his ears, apparently the little dudes music doesn't ride well with him.
Flicktail again smiels to Skuld, then teh others and heads up the stairs to care for his dibbuns
Zen smiles a little more and starts to follow Skuld around, putting his poker back where he found it. He doesn't seem to mind the smell either. He smiles happily, glancing into the fire.
Aikuen nods to Flicktail as the fox leaves. He gets up from the chair and heads over to where Z'Fingo is sitting. He holds out a paw, "Need help mate..." His eyes instantly go to Lonergan. His open wide, is that a mouse? he couldn't tell.
Too drowned in his sorrows and self-pity, Z'Fingo rejects the otter's advice, "I would goh to have said my last rites of passage into dahk fohrest, befoh I so much as see one foh a splintah." He wipes his mouth with his sleeve, already smeared in blood.
Skuld casts a leisurely glance back at the adults. Lonergan gets a staring glance, before she turns back to Zen. "I can tell you a story in return for your song, should you like? I learn stories, too, sometimes."
Zen nods his head, smiling happily. "Oh, I'd love to hear a story..." He smiles softly, listening intently as he prepares to hear the story Skuld has to tell.
Lonergan takes the last few steps into the hall two at a time, "Ye bettah 'ope tha' story is bettah than the song, otherwise the walls migh' come down on us." He doesn't sound insulting or sarcastic, more serious.
Z'Fingo is getting dizzier and dizzier, and the conversation between Zen and Skuld turns into an low hum... he keels back into the chair and lies still. He's lying there, the hood a tempting thing to pull down.
Skuld offers Lonergan what might be a stare of approving amusement. But she offers no comment, and begins her tale. "Not so many seasons ago, there were two great dragons to the north. One, the older, was a peaceful, happy dragon, who wished for nothing but simple life and happy friends. But a younger dragon came. Full of greed, want and the lust for destruction. It wished to rule, and did not wish to share with the older, peaceful dragon."
Aikuen continues to hold out his paw, "Well, a cough like that... you'll probably last another day or so... before you begin to pass out randomly... then it would be only a matter of time... So im gonna ask you again, need help?" He watches him beginning to slump in his chair. He sighs, "Ok... never mind...Im forcing you go to the healers... if you can stop me, then ill stop..." He leans over to pick up the mouse. Since the mouse is bigger then dibbuns, he going to strain a bit as he does.
Zen listens to the story, trying hard to block out what Lonergan said about his song. He wasn't angered as much as upset. Either way, he paid close attention to the story, ignoreing Aikuen and Z'Fingo as well.
Some hidden alarm clock rings inside Z'Fingo's head, and he regains consciousness, "Wh-! Wot ah you doing?! Get you'uh paws... off me!" He leaps out of the chair, landing on his feet but lacking the balance needed to land properly. He lands with a sickening 'smack' on the stone floor, hitting the side of his head as his body absorbs the shock. Paranoid at the grasping arms of the otter and seeking a way to escape, he scrambles back awkwardly to his feet and makes for the entry.
Lonergan stares at the panicking mouse, "Wha's wrong with you? Afraid someone 'll pull back yer hood and see how ugly ye must be under there?" He laughs at his own joke, not apparently caring or knowing if he's hurting any feelings >.>
"The two dragons fought of course, and each with the belief that they were right. They sparred, they wounded and tricked eachother, but after seasons, neither could best the other, and so they settled a wary truce. But the younger dragon learned to be cunning, and patient." The kitten looks over towards Z'Fingo and Aikuen, pausing for a moment, just in time to see the spectacle. No comment, no move to help. But that sinister smile, once more.
Zen smiles as well, though he pays no attention to his surounding. He seems nearly oblivious to the happenings around him. "Hrmm... I see.... What happend nexts?" He smiles and pictures the scene in his head, two massive dragons.
Aikuen is thrown back as the mouse jumps from the chair. He lands on his rear, But gets up quickly. He makes a dash for the door, hoping to block the way, if he is quick enough. He wishes he was a bit younger at this moment...
Skuld turns back to Zen, keeping that sinister smile. "The young, power hungry dragon attacked one night after seasons of peace. The older dragon was scorched out of existance... Leaving only one." And then she leans forward, conspirationally. "The victorious dragon still squats there, in the north. And some say, that it is just waiting for the day, when it might be powerful enough to devour us all..."
Aikuen succeeds in blocking the mouse's way, and Z'Fingo, panting, looks around for a way /out/ of this place. These situations always seem to escalate, but Z'Fingo can find no fault in himself as the reason for it - the mouse feels a bit better and is able to run quickly to the kitchens, where he knows there is another way out. He trips a bit on his long robe, and his hood falls down, revealing only the back of his head to all in the hall.
Lonergan shakes his head, "Crazy youngsters these days." And with that final note he heads back to the stairs before another nutso mouse comes in or they start singing.
Zen nods his head slowly and smiles. "Wow.... you realy think so?" He smiles a little and grins, "Hehe, we should sees the dragon sometimes soon."
Aikuen runs over to the now fallen Mouse, he laughs, "Oops matey... Come on im just trying to help..." he sees the back of his head, and holds a paw over mouth. Getting closer he leans down next to Z'Fingo, and re-covers the head with the hood. Then using most of his strength he picks up the now knocked out mouse, army style, and takes him up the stairs to the infirmary.
"I am certain. A dragon made of stone." Skuld seems amused by it all. She looks to watch the otter carrying the mouse away, and then turns her staring eyes back to Zen. "The otter still does not like me. I am afraid he might try to hurt me again." Playing the innocent little kitten, of course. It's a part she can do well.
Aikuen disappears with the mouse, up the stairs.
Zen glances at Aikuen, narrowing his eyes. "Don't worry about him.... I'll take care of him..." He then smiles.
The kitten smiles, one side reaching further than the other, her eyes narrowed in pleased cunning. "Thankyou... Reaper." And then, she's back to the thin lipped mouth and staring eyes. "I think it is my bed time, or near enough. Goodnight, Zen."
Zen nods his head and smiles, "Ok... goodnight... uh... my friend." He smiles and blushes, still not knowing the kittens name.
"Skuld. You may call me, Skuld." The cat tells him, before quickly trotting her way up to grab one of the beds in the bunk room.
Zen smiles softly and then goes to sit infront of the fireplace.
Aikuen comes down the stairs. After placing the mouse on a bed, and knocking on the door in the infirmary. Then running as fast as he can from there. He doesn't like some of the healers in there. He passes the cat on the way down, but just gives her a glare. He walks in a gives a small wave to Zen, you can see a bit of blood on his hands. He walks over to his chair and plops down.
Zen glances at Aikuen. "Uh... hi... Is... he going to be ok?" He notices the blood and thinks a little in his head.
Aikuen leans back in his chair, and places his footpaws on the table, since there is no one around to stop him. He nods, "Aye he'll be just fine... At least i hope so... That cough doesn't look to good..." He begins scratching his chin fur, so now the blood is on it. But he doesn't know.
Zen blinks a little, closing his eyes for a sec. He didn't like blood. "Uh... Aikuen? You... uh... gots..... blo... bloods on ye paw.... I thinks..." He nods his head a little and smiles.
Aikuen looks surprised. He holds out his paws in front of him, "Well look at that..." He acts like its just dirt. He wipes it on his pants, so now there is a blood stain on his pants. Taking the cordial that Flicktail had handed him earlier, he takes some and wipes his paw. Then he gets some under his chin. The blood is now gone, except for what's on his pants. But he doesn't mind. He smiles "Thanks mate, if i walked around like that... they would think I've killed somebeast!" He laughs a bit. He stretches in the chair and a loud crack is heard as he pops his back.
Zen nods his head a little, but he squints his eyes. "Yea.... you wouldn' wants it to look like you wants to kill one and laugh..." He says this coldly, but then he glances back at the fire.
Aikuen looks oddly at Zen, What an odd thing to say... Then he realizes he is talking about the time he threatened to kill that cat. He runs his paws through his head fur, "Oh... yah heard about that... look i wasn't actually going to kill her... just trying to make her talk... that's all..."
Zen squeeks softly, turning back to him. "Oh yeas.... likes the time you were yellens and scarn's me and even Orphs.. You were threatn' to hurt Flicky or another beast.... I thinks you would has hurt her..." He stares coldly at Aikuen.
Aikuen takes his footpaws off the table so the chair leggings slam to the ground. He stares back at Zen, "Look, if i wanted to hurt her... she wouldn't be around taking to wooden objects. As for me yelling at you, I wasn't... I was yelling at Flicktail and Jo ... and i apologized for that... Were on good terms now! As for William, I didn't even know he was in the room, and i apologized to him! So... Look im sorry for yelling at you... even though i didn't..." He crosses his arms in from of himself.
Zen's eyes narrow as he builds with anger. "Vermin make up lots of escuses.." He turns back to the fire. "If you kills or hurts a beast, sayn' sorry don't mean much at all... and you did wants to hurt her.... You couldn't though cause you didn' wanna get kicked out of the abbey..."
Aikuen leans in closer and smiles, "Exactly..."
Zen shakes his head a little, keeping a poker in his paw. "Vermin..." He turns back to the fire, his fur standing on ends.
Aikuen Places his hands behind his head and leans back again, "You can call me that all day... don't mean much to me... I was kicked from my homeland because of that... so im used to it now..." He doesn't like this new Zen, its all that damn cats fault.
Zen grins a little and smirks, "Good... cause a vermin don't mean much at all to anyones... No wonders I felt so strange around Orphs.." He turns to poke at a few of the logs with a poker, humming softly to himself.
That's it... this otter has had enough. He gets up form the chair, and it falls back as usual. He yells, "Did you just call my son a Vermin!" He clenches his paw.
Zen shrugs, "Like fathers likes son..." He takes the poker and turns to Aikuen. How dare he want to hurt a young dibbun but then defend his own as if none other mattered! He was a vermin in Zen's eyes, greedy and selfish.
Aikuen points a claw at Zen, "You can call me a Vermin all you want... But when you talk about my son like that..." He takes a few steps forward, then remembering what the abbot, and the sister said, he stops and begins to count.
Zen grumbles, shouting back. "I never saids Orphs was a vermin... but if it's true about father like son, he is as longs as you are!" He glares, holding the poker ready. He stands where he's at, not willing to move.
While counting to the specified number, thoughts roll through the otters mind. 'No ones around just kill the wretch' 'No don't kill him! he is friend to you son!' 'But he is making fun of him!' 'He just trying to release his anger on him' 'Or is he' 'but he is just a little one!' 'That never stopped you before' 'But you would get kicked out of the abbey!' 'wouldn't be the first time that's happen!' 'William likes it here' 'No he doesn't! that's why he lives in Moledeep' 'You would probably be hunted down!' 'That's not the first time either!'. He gets to the number, and comes back into focus. he see the poker in zen's hands, he sneers "That's just a toy..." He is weighing the pros and cons now.
Zen nods his head, but stands firm. "It's all I needs." He thinks of all the times a vermin's attacked him, beat him, carved into his flesh and made him nothing. Now here was one he called a vermin. He wasn't giving in and he wasn't going to loose. Loosing wasn't an option. "If Orphs wants to be jus' like you and you's a vermin.... Orphs gonna be a vermin too..."
Aikuen laughs, "You couldn't to anything with that thing! What you plan to do, light me on fire! stab me with it! Id like to see yah try... Hell, id even give you the first shot! If you can call me son a Vermin, must be confident enough!" He holds his paws wide, waiting for the first move.
Zen nods his head. "Yup... I's confident that yous a vermin.. that's why Orphs is..." He shakes his hea dn puts the poker down. "I don't needs even that to take cares of you.."
Aikuen places his paws next to his side, he scoffs, "What you gonna do eh? I've been through hellgates and back...There is nothing you can do... Weakling..." He smiles wickedly.
The Joseph Bell rings out the midnight hour. Upon hearing this, the otter comes slightly out of his rage, "I Don't have time for this! Im late for my shift on the wall... AGAIN!" He grunts with frustration as he walks out the entryway, muttering under his breath, "What's with all the young ones going nuts... if i ever get my hands on the cat..." Nothing more is heard as the door closes behind him.
