~Blisa the cat and Ferdinand the ferret. Scioto the cat.
Blisa is not a happy person. She has no idea where her father is, and she has been looking since noon. Ferdinand isn't happy, either, partly because of that, but also because it seems he's caught a bit of a cold and all he wants to do is lay down and take a nap. But he can't, 'cause he has to help his charge search for her father. They are now wandering through the orchards, calling out for him. "Daddy! Daddy, where are you?" "Thir Thcioto? Thir, it would be nicthe if you would come out now. Thir Thcioto?"
Scioto groans, his sword is beside him where he dropped it, he was maybe out for little less than an hour and the voices helps him start to wake up as he sits up and lays a paw on his forehead, he looks down at his right arm a cut is on it, not a bad one but it drew blood for thirst knock out stuff, he sighs and closes his eyes tightly, he has a headache.
"Daddy?" Blisa calls as she comes into sight of the waking up feline Chieftain. Shrieking in horror and fear, the kitten rushes up to her father, trying desperately not to cry. "Daddy? Daddy, can you hear me?" Ferdinand follows, rubbing his nose to suppress a sneeze. Kneeling beside his boss, he pulls out the first aid kit he had the foresight to bring.
Scioto opens his eyes again, "Blisa...your alright" He manages to sit up a little better leaning on a tree, he still has a headache as he looks around and groans..."Darn....."
Blisa sniffs and wipes her eyes as Ferdinand goes to bandage the Chieftain's arm. "Of course I'm alright, Daddy. What's wrong? Who attacked you?"
Scioto rubs his forehead "Some cloaked ferret...said an old friend was coming soon, and" He tries to stand and instantly falls back down..."She needs found"
Ferdinand growls and goes to sit on his patient. "Thir, pleathe thtay thtill until I've finethed bandaging your arm. Thorry. Thank you." Blisa frowns and sits up against her father, thinking. "An old friend....was she being sarcastic while she said this? What did she look like?"
Scioto frowns, "I..." He stays still but does give Ferdinard a slightly annoyed look, he speaks, "Yes...think so, think know who she means, got some news last night and it's not good news." He does describe Nightshade, the one who attacked him, and sighs.
Blisa frowns as she murmurs, thinking aloud. "A black ferret with blue eyes, dressed in black and grey.....cutless and daggers.....Hard to miss. Who do you think she was talking about?" she asks in a louder voice. Ferdinand has finished his medical work and gets up off his boss, smiling apologetically and repacking the kitbag.
Scioto frowns, he looks at the bandage as he speaks, "My guess?...Marek, he is back in Mossflower and seems to have big plans"
Blisa starts to shudder, but her green eyes are as hard as rock. "He better not mess with us....I'll hunt him down and kill him if he hurts you again." She doesn't whine or anything as she says this. She says it matter-of-factly, and she seems so much like an adult at this moment that Ferdinand casts a worried look in her direction. "Thir, do you think he'th going to attack uth again?"
Scioto stands slowly and nods, he leans on the tree still, "Yes, and the abbey. Marek has...he has Martin the Warriors sword in his paws"
Blisa poufs up and shrieks with indignation as Ferdinand rocks back on his tail with shock. "Daddy! How on Earth did he get it? How could this have happened?"
Scioto frowns "someone gave a guard and Flicktail a very strong sleeping herb, Flicktail had a bad reaction and almost died...the same beast was on the road when Marek attacked and took the sword, so yes Marek has Martin The Warriors sword now and has already taken some land to the north, we will have to prepare"
Blisa leaps to her feet, excitement vying for fury on her face. "Oh, Daddy, can I help? Please? I'm tired of not having anything constructive to do. Please let me help make the village ready! I have Basilisk, too; I'm sure I can get him to help in some way. Please?" Okay, now she's begging.
Scioto speaks "I...we will discuss it at home, please help me home Ferdinand" He can walk just not too good right now.
Blisa seems to deflate. She's so tired of not having anything to do! She needs to help! She turns away dejectedly and slowly walks towards home, her head hanging. Ferdinand does as his boss says, hoping that the Chieftain will let the kitten help, at least with preparations. When they arrive home, the ferret makes some quick salads for the lot of them as Blisa hides in her room and draws dark pictures of death to give vent to her feelings...
