Breaking Camp
Characters: Aikuen, William, Kentar, Flicktail
Location: Camp Coronado
Camp Coronado
Its about lunch time. And 'Camp Coronado' is slowly becoming nothing more, once again. The tents are getting put up. The ropes are being tied. Logs are being pushed back into the woods. Its slowly becoming nothing more. Aikuen steps around his pack. Checking and rechecking, making sure that it will all eventually fit nice. With all that extra stuff that needs to be taken back. He seems to be by himself. But a brown rudder hangs from above in the trees. Fira is just hanging around.
Aikuen hrms as he tries to find a place for a wrapped piece of cloth. That's before he got whacked in the face with a rudder. Very odd sounding giggling comes from within the trees. Aik pulls on it in retaliation before hearing Will, "Huh? Oh. Hey Will..." he pulls at his chin, "Almost. Just gotta find a place for this thing." he holds up the buritto shaped cloth, "Im guessing you guys are all set?"
William says, "I think so. Always seems like we have more stuff to pack on th way back then when we left."
Aikuen nods and decides to just place it on top of his. While he closes up the other three packs. A smaller one than his. Then two identical ones except for color. One green. And the other brown, "Its for a good reason. You always got to bring home stuff to remember the place. Its like... Vacation law or something." he chuckles, "I may have to end up carrying this thing. Oh well. Its not terribly heavy."
"Yeah I guess," the rat agrees. "How much junk are the twins taking back with them?" he quires glancing at the packs. Will glances around, "Wonder how the stoats are doing with their packing."
Aikuen picks up the little packs and leans them against the large one, "A lot of stuff. Mostly rocks, sticks, and a few bones." he nods, "Im not sure. I asked if they wanted help. And they shooed me away." he snorts, "... So. I dont know!" he laughs.
"Rocks?" Will asks amused. "Feels like they donated some to my pack. And I found rocks in my boots this morning but with this family it could have been anyone," he laughs.
Aikuen laughs, "They might have. They like collecting rocks. Kinda like Kluna. But they also like collecting other things as well. So you might want to confront the twins with it. Or else find the weasel." he chuckles.
William nods a little, "Or the nearest stoat or ..." he shrugs, "It's not a big deal so long as it does become a habit for whoever did it."
Aikuen smiles, "Well if it WAS the twins. Then they will grow out of it soon enough. But i cant tell you about the others..." he yanks on the hanging rudder, "Was it you, squirrely thing?" "Of course not, you big dummy!" she rests her rudder on his head, jokingly. Aik hrms, "Well. It wasnt her!" he smiles again.
The girly rudder flicks on Aikuen's head. As if mocking him. Aikuen smirks, "Well. Id keep an eye out for a culprit. Just in case..." he shrugs, going to say to the tree, "Hey Fi. You mind carrying the twins fishes?" "Sure thing, Aikky" she squeaks with an odd giggle. Aik hrms and looks back to the rat, "Is there anything i need to carry?"
William shakes his head, "I don't think so."
Aikuen nods and says, "Well. If you need anything. Just let me or Fi know... then bug the stoats about it." The rudder hat slowly slides off and lands on his shoulder. And Fira's voice can be heard from above, "Come on Aik..." she giggles. Aik puts the packs on the ground, "What?" he asks. As he climbs the tree, "What do you want, you nut!" before disappearing into the trees.
A stoat pops out of a tent which soon after comes down from the inside. Kentar chuckles as Garnet gets tangled up but manages to get out from under it on her own. Kentar looks around, spotting Will and smiles, heading over. "Hey Will!" he nods
William turns around and waves at the stoat, ok he lifts his arm still holding Amy's lute like he did with Aik but it's meant to be a wave. "Hey. Ready to go?" he asks glancing between the stoats.
Kentar looks towards Garnet who just nods as she packs away the tent. "Just about!" he smiles. "What about you and Aik and so on and so on?" he asks, tilting his head.
Willaim says, "I'm packed, the otters are packed, Amy should be packed by now. I think we're all ready. Oh and the twins had for the moment taken up collecting rocks and anything else they take a liking too."
Kentar oohs and chuckles, sitting next to the rat. "Ooh, really?" he hums. "I hope Kluna doesn't have to share his rock collection." he chuckles a little then hums. "I used to collect swords." he nods. "Not sure if Garnet would let me now." he laughs.
"I don't think he will," the rat says nodding at the stoat's meantion of sword collecting. "I never really collected stuff much, I don't think, when I was younger," Will says nodding a bit. "So when are we heading out?"
Flicktail walks into camp having put a lot of stuff away :)
Kentar shrugs a little bit and hums. "Well, a collection is a good thing to have. Gives you a hobby, and makes you have something interesting to display and look at." he chuckles then shrugs. "I dunno. When is Aik and Fira coming back?" he asked, having noticed them vanish into the trees."
Flicktail says, "ello Willium"
Kentar hums a little bit and chuckles. "Yes, but pottery isn't a collection if you make it yourself." he chuckles a little with a hum. "Come on, you! Get a collection! Everyone's got one!" he smiles.
"Hello, Flicktail," Will nods at the fox when he approaches then turn back to the stoat. "Why not? I have figures I made of everyone in th family that aren't for sale in my room at home. 'sides what would I collect?"
Flicktail asks, "did ye find a artist for me plates there Willum me boy?"
William says, "Not yet Flicky but I'm sure one 'll turn up before long."
Kentar hums a little bit and thinks. "Well. I dunno." he hums. "I don't know what you'd collect! It would be your collection." he thinks for a few moments. "But fine! If you don't want to collect anything, don't!" he chuckles.
"Ok then," the rat grins deciding the discuss was ended. "So should we left now while Aik and Fira frolick in the trees or wait for my 'dear parents' to come back down to earth and then leave?" he asks hoping if the second is picked the otter will be down soon.
Kentar shrugs a little bit and chuckles. "Doesn't matter to me." he hums. "We could leave a note for them I guess." he thinks for a second. "Although I'm sure they'd get nervous and go 'where did everyone go! Oh no! They've left poor little me!" he laughs as he tries an Aik impression.
William laughs, "Yes and he'd be so sad that we stole his 'rudderkins' too. ... speaking of which have you seen either of them? I know they weren't with Pa or Fira or that usually leaves Amy or somewhere near Chris if not water."
The stoat looks over towards Garnet, pointing over in that direction. The twins are there, so is Chris, and so is Robin. Chris, however, is unfortunate enough so that only his feet are visible out the bottom of a pile of otters. They've got him pinned again, and neither Garnet or Robin are doing anything about it.
William turns to look, "Oh good they're aren't off swimming by themselves at least." He chuckles spying Chris' feet, "Can you breath under there Chris?"
Chris only raises up his paw and gives a sort of an 'okay' motion, but its really hard to tell if his signalling for help, or just replying a yes to Will's question. But either way, it looks funny as heck. Kentar laughs and shakes his head with a smile. "Hehe. Silly beasts." he nods.
With William heading to look for his wife, Kentar smirks and nods. "Sure, I'll save him." he mutters to himself before standing up and running over to them, only to join the pile! Venei and Ella both let out a fit of giggles as Chris's dad helps to pin his son. "Heee! We've got you now!"
