But then it's ruined as Ferdinand growls.

FV:Pond
This is a large pond that is close to the fields and the orchands of Ferravale. The pond looks very well cared for and in warm months flowers of all colors grow around it. The pond is large enough to have a small fishing boat big enough for two beasts and also for a good number of beasts to swim in. In winter beasts can enjoy ice skateing. There is also a couple oak and maple trees here growing by the large pond.

Jase the cat. Blisa the cat, Ferdinand the ferret, Basilisk 'Basil' the whiptail snake.

Jase is by the pond today, there is not much of the summmer left, which is good so there is less hot days to be had.

Blisa is coming towards the pond on her way to the graveyard, her arms full of flowers. Ferdinand is following close behind, carrying a huge bunch of flowers, too. He doesn't seem to mind. Behind them both is Basilisk the whiptail snake. He is very loudly complaining about how much he hates winter and how he wishes that it would stay warm forever. So far, the other 2 are doing a successful job of ignoring him.

Jase looks over and frowns as he sees the snake, he decides to just stay where he is by the pond for now and just keep a close eye on the snake.

Blisa spots her friend and walks over to him, filling the air with the scent of flowers. "Hi! It's a lovely day, isn't it?" Ferdinand comes over and sets his armload of autumn flowers down. Stretching his arms he nods politely to the male cat. Basil slides up and towers over him, peering down at the new-to-him feline.

Jase frowns, "You...have interesting bodyguards Blisa, which is good I guess. It is a good day, not too hot and be careful not to get too hot, then course in winter one gets too cold sometimes."

Blisa looks back at her snake. "Oh, yeah, Basil's my pet, too. He's pretty good. And I love winter. Snow is one of my favourite things." Ferdinand rolls his eyes as Basil hisses, "You are Blisssssa'sssss new friend??"

Jase calms, only a little "I am a friend...yes. I am Jase, Master healer here. And snow is ok, long as you don't stay out too long and get ill"

Basil tilts his head to ne side, sizing up the Master Healer. "Jassssse, hmmm? It's nicesssss to meet you." He goes to surround the cat with a loose coil, not even trying to touch him, just trying to surround him. Blisa eyes him suspiciously. "Don't try anything stupid, Basil. He's my friend, and if you hurt him, I'll lock you in the cellar with no cheese buns for a week." Ferdinand gives a wry smile and offers to help Jase get out of the scaly coil.

Jase stands and decides maybe he should go elsewhere, "Yes I am a f...friend, not an enemy"

Blisa hits her pet with the flowers she's holding, then drops them and starts whacking him on the head. "Stop that!! Coil up!" Basil whimpers and pulls back, away from around the Healer. Coiling up, he hides his head in his coils, peeking out between 2 of them. "Sssssss.....but......" "No 'buts', Basilisk! You should be ashamed of yourself!" Ferdinand walks over to the Master Healer and murmurs, "Are you alright?"

Jase nods "I..I am fine, I would feel very sorry for whim ever tried to hurt Blisa if the snake was around, though in winter he will have to stay indoors or he will die in the snow and cold air."

Ferdinand nods and goes to pat the cat on his arm. "Aye, me, too. He hideth in hith cellar motht of the winter." Blisa is pointing angrily at her pet. "Apologize at once!!" Basil sticks his head through 2 o his coils and whimpers, "Sssssssssorry....."

Jase smiles at the sorry, "O...ok, so how is every beasts day? Its been a fairly good day so far today and no beast has gotten serious injuried, even in the fighting pits lately"

Blisa turns back to the other cat, smiling now. "I've been okay, thanks! My headaches haven't been as bad as they usually are. I'm glad that nobeast has gotten too terribly injured." Ferdinand nods. "I have been well. How are you?" Basil perks up and even smiles slightly, but for now stays silent, hoping to be spared any more wrath from the Heir to Ferravale.

Jase smiles at Blisa "I am glad your having a good day, I would never wish you to have a bad day, you need all good wonderful days."

Ferdinand raises a eyebrow at the male cat's statement. He has this big brother mentality towards his charge, so he's now mildly suspicious of the Master Healer. Blisa, on the other hand, has no such suspicions and smiles broadly, honestly, and with a touch of surprise. "Aw, thanks." Basil nudges the ferret and says, "Why doessssssssssshe look like that?" and earns himself a slight rap on the nose from Ferdinand.

Jase smiles and nods, he pays no mind to the snake or ferret, "Thats...good and you look lovely today, and.." He stops there and smiles more," Wow...the sunlight makes the perfect sparkle in your eyes..soo...." He then clears his throat "I mean..."

Blisa perks up slightly. But then it's ruined as Ferdinand growls, "Oi. Thlow down. I think you 2 thould thtick to being jutht friendth for now." The petite cat looks up at him, slightly shocked, her mouth a perfect O. Basil sticks his tongue out. "Eeew, issssthat whatsssshappening????"

Jase blinks and looks at Ferdinand and is silent, "I was just...saying..." He backs up a little now "Sorry..."

Jase takes a deep breath "I should get back to the infirm, excuse me and again...sorry" He then walks off but unseen is a frown, is he starting to fall in love? Well that could be good or bad depending on how you look at it, she is after all the chieftains daughter...hmmms he thinks, he wouldn't want beheaded for a possible crime...he speeds up his walking, he has things to think on.

Ferdinand softens considerably, and noticeably. "It'th alright, don't worry." He watches the Master Healer walk off, then yelps as Blisa hits him. "Why did you do that?!" "Becauthe you 2 are too young and inexperienced. You need to take thingth thlowly. Ow!! Thtop hitting me!" They take the flowers to the graveyard and then go home, the petite cat blinking back tears. She's not sure what she's feeling; all she knows is, she doesn't like the fact that her bodyguard intervened/interfered. Basilisk follows along behind them, hoping that things don't get all romantic any time soon. He hates that kind of stuff.
