Fall Feast Part 2

Bargynn stood with a grunt and began applauding Euna, smiling warmly at her as he did so. "Bravo! Beautiful as always!", He said.

Flicktail brinks Euna a flagon of October Ale

Euna seems to tear up a bit more, giving a few bows to the abbey beasts as she would stand there, tickled pink under her fur "Thank you. Thank you all." she says, taking the flagon of October Ale and raising it "To you, all of you! May this feast be a prelude to many more happy moments within your lives here - and beyond." she says, drinking up right after.

Byronn claps, whistling loudly

Lorimis moves to sit by Byronn

Benar smiles at Euna and raises his drink in response to her toast "May all our days have peace from this day forward." He looks around and smiles warmly, settling back, happy to see everyone so happy.

Bottlebrush applauds and waits for it to die down before he lifts his drink again and grins, "To the Abbey and to the health of the Abbotts, both old and new!"

Euna would seem to be smiling with such gravity, that she found herself crying in happiness. She scooted over to settle back upon a bench, trying to calm herself down. She quickly raises her drinks and cheers in response to Bottlebrush's toast, gulping some more ale.

Oz stands and goes over to hug Euna, "Hey.." He says softly.

Benar blushes at that next toast and buries his muzzle in his drink, he still can't quite believe someone went and made him abbot of all things! But still he'll do his best

Bargynn smiled up at Euna from his chair as he sat down again, rubbing his left arm a bit before picking up the pair of apples again, starting to juggle them, sighing as he did.

Euna would stare at Bargynn, smirking at him "Wow. Now that takes skill!" she says, turning to stare at Oz as he approaches, returning his hug and planting a kiss upon his cheek "Ah..there you are. Are you enjoying the feast?"

Byronn nods in greeting Lorimis, taking a sip of some cordial. " Enjoying your night?"

Oz nods "Achally yes, bit better than usually...do" He looks around and sighs “Lots of beasts around" "

Flicktail moves to Benar "You really did take your case to the Abbot, Father" He smiles.

Euna would slowly stroke his side, leaning against him "Aye, there are. All joining together. "She says, gazing up at him and smiling "I...want to spend this feast with you. You just make it so much more enjoyable."

Bargynn smiled at Euna as she complimented him, continuing to juggle without a word.

Lorimis smiles to Byronn "Yes, Going to relax some and get plenty of salads, just the thing for a hungry one.”

Flicktail sits by Bargynn "anything oi kin do to help lad? Oi be growing rather fond o you”

Bargynn shook his head at this, continuing to focus on the apples as he juggled them. "Nah, mate. But thank “

Lorimis says, "Oz..do we not have a bobbing for apples contest?"

Mabel slips off her hat long enough to take on of the 'petals' of parchment off and then puts it back on. Reaching into her bag she pulls out some jars and a brush and starts marking out lines of paint, still watching the movement of the room with a smile.

Lorimis pats Bottlebrushes paw "I would like to have no other beast by my side Brush”

Oz hmmms and looks over at Lorimis "Apple bobbing? had thought of it and then forgot about it, other things on my mind, sorry."

Byronn digs into some salad, watching the entertainers happily.

Lorimis points to the tub with apples in it "I di don’t forget”

Oz nods, he looks to Euna "How are you dear?" , he said. has stayed THIS LONG at a feast.

Lorimis says, "we appear to have an artist in our Midst"

Bottlebrush smiles and dips his head to Lorimis before he sips his drink.

Mabel says, "I'm still learning sir, but I do try."

Euna gazes about at each of the beasts as they tend to thinks, watching Bargynn's juggling in particular as well as Mabel's attempt at painting, rather surprised by it. She quickly turns her attention back to Oz, smiling as she began warming up to him "Quite...well enough. A tiny bit excited, a bit uneasy. That was...very riveting." she says.

Talius, with a small quirk, makes his way into the great hall, late to the feast. But better late than never. His stride is a bird strut, and small claws click on the stone floor.

An Abby Squirrel comes up to the crow with a plate of steamed fish "um..Hungry there Sir?”

Byronn waves to Bottlebrush, seeing the other beasts walk in the waves to them as well.

Oz hugs her gently and smiles “Your song was very good."

Bottlebrush smiles and waves to Byronn.

Lorimis asks, "tell me of YOUR travels Brush of the bottle? Did your parents name you that for some reason?"

Talius can't really smile, but there is a happy gleam in his eyes, as he accepts the fish from the squirrel, with a noisy thank you. He looks like, with those packs of his, some sort of post bird.

Bottlebrush laughs and nods, "My parents gave me that name because my tail is much more fluffy than your average foxes!" He gives said tail a swish, "It's like a bottle brush!"

Euna would hug him tightly, rubbing her cheek to his for a moment "Ach, such a gentle beast. Thank ye'." she says, gazing up at him, taking a sip of her ale "Hehe. Feels good to be making merry for once." she says, grunting "Mother never said happiness would be like this. She described it as 'getting married and having dibbuns'" she quips, giggling to herself "Ahh."

Flicktail moves to welcome Mandelssohn, Talitus and Joan , making room for them at the main table as a Beast in the Great hall puts on a knife throwing displays

Oz smiles and kisses her cheek “Love you Euna, very much so."

Euna returns it, chuckling at his words "And I you, Oz." she says, looking up at him "Yer the most charming and...stripey beast here." she says, half-jesting as she pinches his cheek.

The Great hall hears Oz and everyone lets out a soft "ohhhhhhhhhh" with a smile.

Bargynn continues to juggle the apples, not intent on doing much else.

Flicktail taps Euna on the shoulder "Wait a min, Oi be Stripy today!”

"Thank you," says the crow to Flicktail, waving a wing to the others. "I heard this was a place of welcome." He goes to perch best he can on a seat or bench where room was made for him.

Lorimis steps over to Bargynn and smiles "Good day young beast”

Bottlebrush adjusts his fired-clay mask and sips his drink again.

Flicktail says, "ay there Good Crow, even the Sparras be nice"

Oz looks around the room and back to Euna, he hasn’t ate or drank anything yet and smiles at Euna again “This is longest I ever stayed at a feast,....usually leave by now"

Mendelssohn is welcomed and pulled from all directions by excited beasts eager to meet him and then show him things, show him the food and the display and the friends sitting near, until the mouse is able to get a word in edgewise and state his thankfulness but eagerness to meet more beasts. The composer mouse seems to be looking for some beast, unsure in his steps and in tip-toed intervals, which provide little more view above the much larger beasts...

Bargynn looks over at Lorimis briefly and nods, continuing to juggle. "Oi there, uh... Not sure if I should call ya' Father now or not.", he said, offering a slight chuckle.

Lorimis says, "well yes, once an Abbot always an Abbot"

Euna turns her head to Flicktail, giving him a playful prod on the chest "Oo, was that a challenge? I'll take you on any day." she says, winking to him. She turns back to Oz, nodding slowly as she seemed abit more somber "I understand. I hope I can keep you here just a little longer" she says, patting his belly "If you feel uncomfortable and all...I'll come with you. No sense leaving you to celebrate all alone!" she says, grinning broadly "From one badger to another, I can fully understand. Still - nothing cheers one up then watching an entire hall full of happy beasts." she says, winking to him.

Flicktail says, "um Euna...won't you sing again maybe with Claaer doing her Ocarina?"

Claaer walks down the stairs and looks around For the feast she is wearing her silky light green dress with a rainbow colored vest over it. The skirt is a light green and puffed out. Braided into her headfur are red and yellow roses, long curled ribbons of green drop from her headfur as well. On her footpaws are soft white shoes made so she can do her performance better. She blinks at all the beasts.

Tristan steps in from a brief walk outside, and blinks at the sheer number of beasts in the hall, still not used to Redwall feasts. He's shed his usual cloak for a simple grey shirt, and now wishes he had it's air of protection again as he makes his way to a nearby seat. He doesn’t bother trying to greet all the beasts.

Euna blinks for a moment, turning her head quickly to gaze at Flicktail, then at Claaer "Well I suppose I could think about it. Depends on whether or not she'd be up to it." she says, giving a nervous grin.

Flicktail says, "by the way Euna, oi not challenging you, oi Be challenging Oz" He winks "were all Bajas ere"

Bargynn chuckled lightly at the abbot's comment and nodded. "Aye, I suppose you're right.", he said, looking over to the stairs and spotting Claaer, his jaw slightly agape. "Oi there Claaer.", He said, rising from his seat and making his way over to her.

Lorimis waves to Tristan watching Bargynn "Good choice Bargynn" He smiles

Bottlebrush blinks and perks his ears up, the fox looking around, "Someone else plays the ocarina, too?"

Flicktail exclaims, "ay that lovely lass there! "

Oz smiles at Euna "I can stay here a little longer"

Tristan nods a greeting to the abbot, and looks around, trying to put names to faces and memorize new ones. He reaches for a conveniently placed glass of wine and sips it calmly.

Lorimis says, "actually Tristan, Benar is Abbot now"

Bottlebrush glances towards Euna and chuckles, "Good to see a fellow ocarina player!"

Euna smiles at Oz, patting his belly again "Ahh, there's me love." she cheers him on, turning her head to glance at Bottlebrush "Ain't I, lad. That'd be Claaer there." she says, pointing to the rat. She would finally look at Flicktail, pouting "Hm? Is it because I am the female? "she says, reaching towards him "Come here! HEhe! I’ll show you!"

Claaer smiles at Bargynn "Hi"

Talius seems fond of the fish and wine, taking a glass full of himself, before introducing, "I'm Talius, by the way. A courier of messages."

Bottlebrush looks towards Claaer and laughs, "Then it is good to see a fellow ocarina player in you, Miss!"

Flicktail asks, "Oi be Flicktail, Champion o Redwall" he smiles to the Crow "where you come from?"

Tristan raises his eyebrows, "He is, eh? When did that happen?" he asks curiously, and then takes another sip from his glass. He glances over at the badger couple and the fox.

Oz looks around and gets a drink of water and sips it slowly starting enjoy the evening and not too worried about a large crowd for once.

Bargynn moves to give Claaer a gentle hug, resting his hands upon her shoulders afterwards and smiling warmly at her. "Might I say, you're looking' might beautiful tonight.", He said.

Claaer blushes and looks down "I am not that pretty."

Talius answers, honestly, "I'm a Mossflower native. I keep a nest west of here, though I head all over." He Lorimis says, "why just tonight Tristan, just tonight"

Mendelssohn is quickly growing hopeless at finding anybeast in the crowd, ironically. The mouse keeps it low-keyed, not wishing to cause any waste of time to anybeast in asking for acquaintances. He sits down at a seat and minds himself, smiling at a hedgehog next to him and realizing the smile in return is directed at some beast across from him, to whom the hedgehog waves back. Still optimistic, as always, the mouse chuckles to himself and digs in.

Euna leans against Oz, observing the crowed herself, mostly watching Claaer and Bargynn, leaning up and whispering to Oz "They look so cute together."

Flicktail shakes the wing having never felt. FEATHERS before "Do ye know th Warden?”

Bottlebrush leans back in his chair and closes his eye.

Bargynn shakes his head at this, smiling warmly at Claaer. "Nonsense! You look lovely!", he said, gently patting her shoulders. "Ya' ready to perform tonight?"

The feathers are smooth and sleek and black as night. "I can't say we've met," Talius admits, though he seems to like the prospect. "Should the word be spread? Of the new Abbot?"

Claaer smiles "Well when allowed to perform"

Joan comes down the stairs, awkwardly cradling her bandaged left paw in her right. She stops and looks around, wide eyed. "Oh, that’s a lot o' beasts..."

Lorimis says, "Of course good Corridor and of the new Vermin Village of Farraville being founded"

Flicktail waves Joan over to where he speaks to the large black Crow

Euna sighs softly, seeming a bit glum for a moment, quickly reprimanding this by calling out to Claaer "Ye' better preform! Dyeing to see it!" she cheers.

Mabel looks hopefully at them, "I hope you can perform soon, I love ocarinas."

Oz smiles at Euna and looks at the stairs but stays where he is for now.

Claaer blinks "I achally just juggle and do cartwheels..dance a little"

Flicktail says, "Aye lets have another performance...please!"

Joan gives the fox and crow a wary glance, but walks over, rubbing a little at the bandages at the wrist. "'ello..."

Tristan nods slowly at Lorimis, "I see," He glances over at Mandelssohn, then the two rats. He has two admit that he's interested in her performance, "Go, on, nobeast'll stop you."

Talius files the information away. He'd be playing woodland crier in the morning. He head tilts at Joan in a birdlike way, and gives a small wave of his wing.

Flicktail says, "Ello lass..wot happened to yer paw?"

Euna turns to Oz for a moment, giving him a stare before speaking to him "You need to go, aye?" she says, tilting her head to the side "I could come with you."

Joan shrugs. "Oh, nothing', jus' a cut." She grins. "'happens all th' time."

Looking up from her painting properly, Mabel blushes but still continues to make marks of different colors, "Oh, I heard someone mention an ocarina, I thought that was you. I think I've been to preoccupied with my painting!"

Bargynn smiles warmly at Claaer, looking over at Euna as she speaks, giving her a nod and a smile before looking back to Claaer. "See? They all want to see ya' perform! I think it'd be good to give the crowd what they're asking' for.", he said, giving her another gentle and reassuring hug.

Flicktail asks, "cuts happen alla time?"

Claaer smiles "Umm..alright" She waits till she has a clear area and does a series of five cartwheels and then five backwards, she smiles and does a twirl and then gets four apples and juggles them faster and faster and then adds a fifth and smiles, she then catches two in each paw and one in her mouth, she sits the apples down and the one in her mouth she takes out and smiles, she takes a bite and looks around.

Lorimis claps for Claaer's performance

Oz smiles at Euna "If you wish love or stay down here a short bit. “He stands to head to the stairs.

Flicktail admires Claaer

Flicktail tugs Oz back "don go" he smiles

Oz smiles “Be back little later.” He heads off upstairs.

Talius claps, too, or at least as best a pair of wings will allow.

Flicktail chuckles and nods approvingly at the black fox costume

Bargynn watches Claaer do her performance, clapping excitedly after she finishes. "Bravo! An excellent performance, Claaer!", he called out to her, smiling warmly at her and crossing his arms. Bottlebrush arches a brow at the fox costume and then chuckles, his head tilting, "Huh.."

Talius's feathers all poof at the 'fox', and he lets out a caw before he realizes exactly -what- is going on.

Mabel looks up from her painting startled by the sudden screams, then laughs as she sees the 'fox' with the dibbuns.

Tristan glances over at the beast in costume, and feels his heart rate accelerate for a few seconds before he chuckles, realizing the trick.

Lorimis even admires this costume

Mendelssohn's eyes go wide at the false alarm, and breathes a sigh of relief that the evil-looking chap is just a clever trick. Attention back to other things, he claps with Bargynn at Claaer's performance, eyes wide at the rat maid’s display. "Honestly amazing'! Nuttin' like it, I've seen, no' at least in a ve'y long time!"

Claaer looks around "So..was my performance ok?"

Lorimis says, "it as brilliant M'lday"

Flicktail looks at Joan "Oi hardly ever cut meself..how did ye cut Yerself?”

Bottlebrush goes back to resting, the fox quietly watching beasts chatter.

Joan chuckles. "Wi' a saw, silly. I slipped, tha's all." She tilts her head a little, peering at the fox. "Y'seem awfully concerned abou' m' paw."

Bargynn smiled at Claaer and moved up to her shortly after. "More than okay! It was amazing'! I've seen ya' do your cartwheels before, but it still impresses me than anybeast can move like that.", he said.

Flicktail says, "Oi be concerned about ALL beasts paws"

Claaer smiles wide, "Thanks"

Tristan raises an eyebrow, wincing just a bit as it touches the line of stitches he received after the fight last night, "Okay? It was great!" He glances over at the other performers, grinning to let them know he's joking, "Put these other beasts to shame."

The otter behind the fox mask goes over to Lorimis and grins, bowing, "Y'had a twink'l in yer eye, sir, when I unmasked, dun' think I didn't nowtise... bu' I can'ae give too much information away about is' maker, although' I and probably many arthers's wish-ed it were real, eh, am I roigh? Unfort'nly, it ain't - tis charc'l brush'd on dand'loin fuzz." He grins, "Be yer time a good'n at this feast?"

Claaer goes to sit down in a chair and looks around at all the beasts.

Bargynn gives Claaer another gentle, loving hug, still smiling warmly at her before sitting down next to her. "You're very welcome. An' I gotta thank you as well. Been continuing' to practice, even with me sliced arm. I can go rather steady with two things now!", he said, sounding rather proud.

Lorimis smiles to Bottlebrush and gives him a warm hug

Claaer smiles "Your get better, don’t worry just practice, you doing ok tonight?"

Lorimis says, "well every beast I must get ready for my Journey, so this ol mouse will take his leave of you now"

Bottlebrush looks a bit surprised at the hug, having been lost in thought, but hugs Lorimis back with a chuckle. He then glances at the otter, "Good mask! Even I thought you were a fox!"

Claaer blinks "Journey?"

Lorimis says, "your one of my Dearest Friend bottle of the Brush with the extra soft Fox tail"

Tristan raises an eyebrow again, wincing again. He's about to say something when Claaer takes the words right out of his mouth.

Bargynn nods at her and smiles. "Aye, I'm doin' alright. Me arm an' chest still ache a bit, but they're doin' better than they were earlier.", he said, patting his chest briefly. "Recoverin' nicely, I am!"

Flicktail seems to like Joan a lot as he regards the beautiful plumage of the crow

Lorimis looks to Bottle brush "here and with me....I can use yer help Brush” Lorimis says, "I would welcome your company with me Mr. brush you can watch my health"

Bottlebrush grins and nods, "I will start getting ready then, Father Lorimis."

Lorimis says, "we leave in the noon hours tomorrow Greatfox"

Bottlebrush chuckles, "Good thing I have yet to fully unpack."

Joan rubs the bandages over her knuckles, looking around, and then she catches sight of the windows. "Oh! It's getting' dark out! I ought to' get back to th' nurse..."

The otter bows to Bottlebrush, "I thou' yu'd 'appreciate 'atit wuzzint real fer, too, dun exis' to offend nobeast! Ah, n' have a gud even'n sirs, I'll do moi best t'keep 'is fun toimes happenin' roight through, aleastways fer the dibbuns... dunnow about the stuff'd tunicks a'thereways!" He points behind him, chuckling. Mendelssohn scoots by, brushing past the otter, and he apologizes, "Ach, nah'reason to say sorry, mae'! Nice 'at!"

Lorimis nods and retires for the night

Joan blushes a little at the attention. "Oi, I can walk m'self, y'know..." she reprimands the fox, grinning. "'s nothin' wrong with m' legs."

Bottlebrush smiles softly and dips his head to the otter, "For now, I should do my packing for tomorrow." He heads towards the stairs.

Mendelssohn nods, and keeps a paw on the hat to keep from losing it, "I appreciate' it, friend', thankee." He eyes the mask curiously, before heading to the stairs to escape some of the noise for a moment and get a more elevated look around... the mouse stumbles into a few other beasts, smiling and offering apologies.

Flicktail asks, "who be dis new Mouse?" .

Tristan glances up the stairs at the mouse, and then towards the piece of steaming fish that's been placed in front of him. His stomach beats his curiosity and he starts in on the fish. Flicktail says, "aye Tristan oi were bettin you loiks th fish"

Flicktail goes to sit by Euna "how is me costume? “ helooks at the beasts "Everyone be so quiet”

The otter overhears Flicktail and leans over to him, cupping a paw to answer audibly through the din, "I's wundr'n th'same, actually, though looks fr'mis dressin's t'be servin' some Nobi-l-i-tee, don'it? Rather poli' too; I seen beasts knock inter me tha' ain't half tha' poli' when they do't! Haaarhar!" He claps the Champion on the back, taking a drink, with the mask tucked beneath an arm.

Talius perhaps can't hold his wine well. The crow's eyes are closed, and his claws are tight on the bench, like it were a branch.

Flicktail offers the Otter a flagon of October Ale and reaches out to curiously touch the crow's leg

Talius's leg feels a little scaly, and it bears a shiny, shiny bracelet trinket. Crows like shiny.

Tristan looks up from his plate, which now only has a few bones on it. He glances at the crow, and takes a sip of his own wine, then turns his eyes to the otter and fox, saying nothing for now.

Flicktail bares his badger claws to Tristan and with a smile says "Gerrr!

Tristan gives the otterfoxbadger... thing a grin, noticing that his glass is empty. He sets it beside him on the table.

Mabel giggles at the 'badger' and adds a little more paint, then peers closely at the fox, "What color are your eyes sirs?"

The otter holds out his goblet with mirth, nodding, "Aye, than's mae'! Oi'm Troiver, boiy th'way.. I'uzfrai' Oi'd be droi afa I wuz dun this'n! 'Scuse me a sec'n..." He goes over to Tristan and nods, "Mind if I join ye? Awful 'eavy this's, been mean'n t'pu i' down... Oi'm enjoying’s show, about you?"

Flicktail says, "looks at Mabel with green eyes as 2 little Badger fox dibbuns come up..Luna and Benick, Flicky's dibbuns and they tap Mabel on the leg holding out bags "Twick or Tweet!"

Mabel exclaims, "Well hello! I've been waiting all night for a cute dibbun to find me and now here's two!" Mabel lifts the bag of candy from beside her and hands out treats with a smile, "You two enjoying yourselves?"

Luna smiles and nods as Benick says I'm a BIKKET Knight" he says proudly "do you need sequin?

Tristan glances over at the dibbuns as they come in, and then raises an eyebrow at Troiver, making sure to use his other eyebrow this time, trying to decipher the otter's speech. And he thought the Highland accent was confusing. "No, I don't mind you joining." He finally says.

Luna lifts he paws wanting Mabel to pick her up

Mabel lifts Luna onto her lap and motions for Benick to join them on the bench. "Do you like my painting?" She holds up the parchment in the light as it more, showing off a scene of the feast with its many beasts. Freshly added the champion's green eyes seem to peer back at them, and the many faces in the picture are strange to Mabel still but their expressions are happy and captured well.

Mendelssohn has no luck with the view offered by the stairs, so he descends again, interrupted by another mouse introducing himself, and smiles and gives his name, and all of that... the whole time, though, seeming distracted. He cheerfully, though, keeps descending, footpaws dangerously strutting away from his center of gravity, until... he missteps, tripping down the remainder of the flight! Luckily before he tumbles, he grabs a sconce in the wall, singeing a paw and wincing painfully before collecting himself and going back to the feast.

Luna reaches out for the painting while Benick climbs up and points to Mabel's back "lots a pointier" he smiles

Flicktail wonders if Mendelssohn has had a Touch too much to drink :)

Tristan looks over his shoulder as the mouse falls, and glances at Flick, "Err..." he's not quite sure what just happened, been dividing his attention between the two dibbuns and the otter before him.

Flicktail says, "Oi dunno....wot ya think tris?"

Mabel chuckles, "Do you like my quills little one?"

Tristan shrugs, standing up and striding over to the mouse, "You alright there?" he says, and eyebrow raised, one of his favorite expressions apparently.

"Guud! Grea'ven, oi'm Troiver - m'kid's over 'er, playin' wif sum new fren's, I suppos'..." He looks at Flicktail as the two converse, and looks at the clumsy mouse, "Oi! Haha, gud reflex's that'un! No' jus' in's apologees, e'vah! 'E's right quick t'save!" He chuckles and swigs again.

Benick looks at them and nods but doesn't TOUCH them, apparently he’s had experience as Luna Looks up and Kisses Mable on a cheek

Flicktail says, "Any one ad too much Tris we will just call e guard and have em put ta bed" He smiles

Benick smiles "I BENICK, I'm a Badger" he says GRRR as Luna smiles "Luna" she says softly, the 2 dibbuns are twins one boy one girl

Mabel says, "Thank you sweetie, it’s nice to meet you Luna. I'm Mabel. Benick the Badger you say? You sound like a fierce one!""

Benick grins and begins eating the candy she gave him, while Luna yawns curling up against Mabel

Bargynn nods at her and smiles. "Aye, I'm doin' alright. Me arm an' chest still ache a bit, but they're doin' better than they were earlier.", he said, patting his chest briefly. "Recoverin' nicely, I am!"

Flicktail seems to like Joan a lot as he regards the beautiful plumage of the crow
