Kentar, in the hall, with the cake
Characters: Kentar and Amethyst
Location: Moledeep
Moledeep: Mole Hall
Its been one of the happiest days of Kentar's life. Robin came home, much, MUCH sooner then he ever thought possible which made him so very extatic. He's currently sitting in the hall, eating cake! Yes, he baked a cake for Robin's return. But the others have already gone to bed after having their share, so he's just eating whatever's left of his piece.
It may be late but none the less Amy has wandered into the room. She seems to be looking for something. She probably left her sewing laying around somewhere.
Kentar looks up to see Amy, smiling a little as he swallows some of the cake. "Oh Amy! Just the ratmaid I wanted to see." He chuckles, standing up before tilting his head. "Er...looking for something?"
Amethyst walks around the large room checking each chair slowly and thoroughly. "I left a project in here somewhere," she says tucking her staff into the crook of her arm so she can 'look' all over a nearby chair and the floor around it with both paws.
Kentar tilts his head and stands up, finishing off the last bit of cake that was on his plate. "Want help finding it, Amy?" he asks. "And then we need to talk." he nods. "About the news Riverdale gave us." he says before packing away some cake for the old squirrel for later
Amethyst shrugs, "If you want to take your chances at stepping on a needle go ahead. It's green so it shouldn't be that hard to find. The floor in here isn't green." She assumes the floor is dirt or stone if not wood or a combination of the three and not covered in moss or grass.
The stoat nods as he starts to look around, keeping his eye peeled for the needle. He hums and then lets out a yelp. "YOW!" he growls as he picks a needle from his foot. "Found it..." he frowns.
Amethyst smirks, "Imagine that, it turned on it's head just for you." The likelyhood of a needle landing on either end without falling over to lay flat on it's side is very low but it does seem to have made it easier to find. "Did you get blood all over everything?" she asks hoping he hasn't ruined the little outfit she was making for Venei. Ella's would be next once Ve's was finished. My how fast those otter twins out grew things.
Kentar chuckles a bit and shakes his head. "Nope." he nods with a heh. "Anyways. Amy. We need to talk." he says, sitting down with a nod, making sure he's out of Amy's staff's range
Amethyst holds out her paws so the stoat can return her sewing to her. "Good. If you'd gotten it all dirty I'd have to make you wash it." Once she has her things back she feels it over to check for any damages before taking a seat to resume her work on it. "What did you want to talk about she asks suspiciously." Her staff leans against her chair within easy reach and if she has to she can get up and make it reach him.
Kentar hums a little, deciding wether or not to be blunt or not. "You're not going to the abbey." he says. "I want you coming with us on the trip." the stoat sighs. "Riverdale came to warn us that there's an army getting ready to possibly attack the abbey soon. Very soon. I don't want you in danger like that.
Amethyst pauses in her sewing, "I've heard the stories. Redwall isn't likely to fall. And if they are attacked they'll need all the help they can get. I am a healer." Kind of a healer. It's not like Aik gave her a diploma or anything just a kit, knife and a lot of training.
The stoat shakes his head and sighs. "Amy. Please, listen to me. Redwall has been taken over several times in its history. Never lost for good, but lots have died defending it. Please don't ask me to bury you when we get back because I couldn't stand it." he says. "Come with us, please. I don't want anything to happen to you." he stands up slowly.
Amethyst sighs, and sets he sewing on the side and stands up. Hopefully she wont sit on her sewing later. "Kentar," she says warningly. It's late and the stoat is getting on her nerves. She's been through similar conversations before on this subject already with her husband does she really have to repeat it all to the stoat now? "Kentar, I've made up my mind. I am. not. going. on. th'. boat." Yes maybe speaking slowly and loudly will get it through his thin skin and thick skull. Maybe.
The stoat sighs and nods slowly. "I figured you'd say that." he frowns. "Amy. Listen to me very carefully. I won't make you come with us, but when you go to the abbey, you take this." he goes over and puts one of his favorite throwing knives in her paw. "Take this...I know it will be left in the gatehouse but it will make me feel better..." he sighs. He's just worried about her is all.
Amethyst rolls her blind eyes but takes the knives anyway to please the stoat. She stashes them in her healer's kit. With the modified kitchen knife Aik gave her for her kit she now has two knives. Stoats are more bearable with they offer her nice things. The ratwife makes a point to not smile to look anything but unhappy with his meddling. A free weapon is a free weapon and she does want to give him a reason to want to take it back.
"Just be safe, okay?" Kentar says before sitting down out of range of her staff again, grinning. "Because I'm sure Will still wants a little William junior going around some day!" he laughs and ducks out of the way incase she throws anything at him.
Amethyst remains standing her expression unchanged though her whiskers twitch just a little. The rat sits down and takes her project back onto her lap to resume her work.
Kentar chuckles and then hums. "So, how's the project coming along?" he asks, tilting his head to one side with a smile.
"It's going. I'm trying to make em longer so th twins can get more use out of em," Amy says putting paw on the side of her chair as she stands back up so she can show the stoat what she's been working on. The paw on the chair slides around her staff slowly drawing it close should she need it. It all looks vary natural and innocent as she does need the staff to get around somewhat. The fact that she could club him up side the head may not come to mind right off.
Kentar chuckles a little bit and nods. "Looks nice." he smiles as he starts to put some cake into a small container for Riverdale for his trip back to the inn
Amethyst was considering hitting him but the smell of cake gives her pause. Best not to kill the maker of yummy cakes. At least not til he does something to deserve it more.
The stoat stands and thinks for a few moments. "Would you like some cake?" he asks, tilting his head to one side with that same smile.
She really shouldn't she already had some earlier .... but what's the harm. Her waistline's already anything but thin and has been so for a while now. Good food tends to have that effect on beasts. "Might as well eat it since you have it out. It would only go to waste sitting out all night," she says, which makes perfect sense as it's late and she wants cake.
The stoat laughs and nods, smiling as he puts the last piece of cake onto a plate, grabbing a fork as well and then placing the plate lightly into her lap. "There you go! One big piece of cake!" Kentar smiles before sitting down again and yawning.
Amethyst puts a paw down to see where her project had gotten to and shifts it over so she wont sit on it. "Mmmm," rather than thank you greets the cake as it's put in her lap. "Very good cake," she says after a mouthful. She really shouldn't eat all this cake though. Maybe she can sneak it to her room before she eats it all and have a cake breakfast tomorrow.
The stoat nods and smiles, standing up. "I'm off to bed! Early morning." he chuckles a little as he starts to the sleeping hall. "I'll see you tomorrow." he nods slowly as he waves.
Amethyst nods a little still eating cake and undecided on whether to sneak it back to her room or not. The way it's going there may not be any cake left by the time she decides.
