Talk About A ROUGH day

Flare is just coming to collect his things, yep he has no real plans to stick around and he didn’t bother to go to practice today...or yesterday, in his mind he don't need it.

Flint frowns as he sees Flare and sighs as he walks over “Thought you were not coming back and you were not in the training room today, why?"

Flare glares at the other hare and then goes to shove him, "None ya business and like said no plans on coming back but I did want my stuff, I got it so now leaving."

Flint should have been paying attention, but alas he wasn't and is slammed into the wall and narrows his eyes at Flare, but he reframes from shoving him back as that wouldn't help matters. "Wot is ya problem?"

Flare answers, as if it’s simple, “Being told wot to do. You come back and everyone just lets you get settled back into your wonderful Private rank and oh look at how he does this and that. I don't need to be a blooming recruit and I don’t like rules...I tend to like to work things out my way."

Flint shakes his head, “Then leave, we work as a team here and we have ranks and that’s how it works. We help one another and we don't try and harm fellow patrollers. You..you are out of paw lately, maybe I should tell his Lordship..sure he find this interesting."

Flare rolls his eyes, he is not putting up with this, "Maybe he'll find this intresting....." Before a what can be asked he will of sent to good swift punch to the other hare, his goal is to knock him out, either way he will salute weather its seen or not, "Oh..private...by de way I quit...have a good day!"

Flint goes to back off and attempt to block, well he fails and all goes black as he slumps to the floor, this past couple days have been annoying and trust me if the other hare is telling the truth then he won't be missing the recruit!

Flare smirks, "Yep...ya need to refresh on blocking..." He then walks out and on to the beach

Flint has been knocked out, briefly, and is coming to a little as he groans and his eyes flutter open..yeah so much for the cheek bruise going away, he has a new one now.

Jackie pokes her head from the infirmary, in a gown still, holding a newborn leveret, "what in blazes is going on out here."

Flint frowns as he looks up at the hare maid and blinks, darn his face hurts, "Just a bit of a...disagreement?" He stands slowly “I got knocked out and...well clearly they left, I think they plan on staying left"

Jackie nods "aye so it seems so best get in here to let them look you over.  “

Flint sighs and nods, a light walk to the infirm, "He punched me yesterday also...not sure wot his jolly problem is, but he has one"

Jackie gently rocks the small leveret who is sleeping in her arms "yes well best to talk to Col or Major bout it." she nods "Fighting is not allowed in the hallways”

.

Flint says, "Well I didn't get a chance to punch back, maybe that’s good in a way...but a recruit punching out a private is not a good thing"

Jackie nods "aye not good."

Flint sits down and sighs, a healer in training is on duty and looks him over “Not too bad, could of been worse" The private nods as the healer tends to someone with a stubbed toe. “I told him he needed a talking to and maybe I could send him to his lordship and then...well  I’m knocked out, by a hare named Flare whom is a recruit."

• • • Not too much happen after this, a healer made sure he was ok and he tried to get a little sleep. He got up to get some fresh air and check on a fellow hare in the infirm of the nearby village, but he doesn’t make it that far before trouble is found, OOCLY I spoofed a couple weasels and a rat in the fight as Flint comes into the area ICLY little later***

Flare was on his way to...well he didn't know where but not the mountain and not so much that village as they would try and find him there probably, so that left just wandering with his knapsack and saber at his side.

Zurrgg is also in the area, much to the soon to be distressed hare. He watches the hare and a grin forms on his face as he remembers the hare, “Well if it is not the northlands hare, your fairly far from home."

Windrose, on a quick run to look for trouble but at the same time hoping she finds none. She comes to a stop and carefully looks towards where the wildcat is and frowns “Well this is not jolly well good." She then frowns when she catches sight of Flare.."Wot is HE doing out here?"

Flare spins around and narrows his eyes at the wildcat, "Zurrgg, wot are ya doing so far south? This is not the best place for /you/ let alone /me/."

Also in the area is a couple weasels and a lone rat. They are not with the wildcat but are just here for trouble causing and hey vermin stick together sometimes right?

Zurrgg chuckles coldly, “Missed you as well. Tell me..." He circles the hare," Some info. I am sure you’re willing to share some. For instant where is Marek, dos he still live? Did he make it to Mossflower?I simply must know."

Windrose frowns as she gets a little closer and watches them. It’s never good to have any vermin on the shores after all and in order to give a good report she needs to keep an eye on them and gather info.

Flare asks, "And why would I blooming tell ya anything? I have had a bad enough day." Not that he liked the guy much, he draws his saber and angles it, “Scat cat"

The rat and two weasels walk over "hey look it’s one of them thar hares...." The other weasel rolls his eyes "If he was a LP hare he have a dumb uniformie type thing..duhhhhhh" Did he just say uniformie?Yep.

Zurrgg watches the rat and two weasels, and looks back to Flare"Lp? Whats that? And what do you get out of it, oh the great joy of being a hero, to rid the world of Marek as he has done so much harm, and yet he claims those days are over, but..are they really?"

Windrose frowns as she tries to listen, picking up words here and there. She risks getting a little closer to the group of beasts and hide behind a clump of weeds and some old piece of a forgotten ship wreck.

Flare narrows his eyes at the other vermin “I quit, could care less about all those fool hares and could care less about any badgers either." He doesn't see Windrose as he looks at Zurrgg, he seems to be thinking, "Wots in it for me chap?"

The two weasels seem surprised at this and the rat holds up his paws "Whoa whoa bunny...relax, we don't like Long Patrol either..." The others nod"Or..or stripdogs....hee hehee"

Zurrgg smiles a cruel smile" A..reward. One to surely last till the end of your days."

Windrose peeks around the corner and frowns at Flare's words, but she stops herself from showing where she is and just watches and listens for now.

Flare relaxes and nods “Last I heard he was in Ferravale, but had some memory loss or something...no clue just wot heard from a friend of mine. Guess he survived your fight as well, but got the worse end of the deal." He folds his arms over his chest “So...you got the info where is my reward?"

Flint is walking down the path about this time, bored and after being begged to check on someone, he has decided to go check on someone and report back. He glances up and frowns at figures ahead.

The figures of course include the two weasels and rat, who for now are behaving themselves or least not drawing weapons yet.

Windrose steps out and calls out to Flare “Flare, get away from that wildcat, and those other vermin too, wot are ya doing talking and making deals with vermin?!"

Zurrgg smirks and is about to answer when he spins and sees the hare maid and his eyes narrow. He has a crossbow with him, Stolen it seems from another vermin perhaps, he growls and aims...and fires the deadly bolt at the hare maid and he rarely misses and this close it’s even harder to miss the deadly bolt!

Flare eyes go wide and things seem to suddenly go in slow motion, he sees the cat aim and he is already moving towards Windrose,"Noooooooo!" The one thing he cares about in that whole stupid mountain is about to die, well not if he can help it, and weather he knows it or not he is acting like a true Long Patrol hare as he is thinking of others and not himself, he gets to her and shoves her roughly out of the way just as he feels unforgiveable pain and falls roughly himself and jolting the cross bolt, the cross bolt that’s buried it's self deep into his midsection

The rat and weasels tense up, whoa he has a cross bolt and seem to be deciding what to do when a voice is heard and an arrow hits the rat in the head, Its Flint running towards the vermin, "Death to all vermin!!!" The two weasels get out their swords and charge Flint!

Windrose has the wind knocked from her as she is knocked sideways and coughs roughly, "Wot...the...." She gasps in shock and horror at the sight before her "FLARE!!"

Zurrgg growls, that was his only cross bolt. He then notices who it hit and chuckles “Well, that’s a good reward for info." He gets one of his long thin daggers and looks at the hare maid, “How about a little game of how long can ya stay alive?" He looks up at the other hare charging and lets the weasels take care of him.

Flare feels nothing but pain and looks at the cross bolt that hit him and groans, it comes out his back some as he coughs and looks at Windrose, "Go.....run.." His voice is already weak. He catches sight of Flint with his fading vision.

Flint slices at one weasel and looks at the other one. He frowns at the sight of Flare and tries to make a mental note where Windrose and the cat are as well.

Windrose is quick and goes to try and kick the dagger out of the cat's paw and jumps back into a fighting stance near Flare, "Stay awake Flare...please"

Zurrgg is taken by surprise as the kick connects with his paw and he backs off, he turns to the two weasels, "You two fools wish to live we leave this area. Sides the hare's friend is DYING to speak to them." He chuckles at his own joke and quickly goes to flee, weather the two weasels join him or not. He has plans and it's not to stay on these shores,thats for sure.

One weasel errrks and quickly follows the wildcat out of the area, the other weasel is not as luckily and gets his throat slit by Flint and dies on the sands. The hare pants a little and narrows his eyes at the retreating vermin and quickly goes over to Windrose and Flare, "Windrose are ya ok lass?" He checks Flare's wound and gulps, he is no healer but he knows it's bad.

Windrose nods "I..I am fine." She looks to Flare and back to Flint "I can run and get a healer."

Flare reaches a shaky paw up.."n..no lass..." He coughs and tenses up as he looks at Flint and his eyes close half way, "I'm..s....sorry...F..Flint, for...all..said...did.."

Flint frowns as he listens, "I forgive you..." He is not sure what else to say.

Windrose feels the tears, "Why..why did you have to push me out of the way? It was my mistake to come out of hiding.."

Flare smiles a little, he answers the hare maid's question, "Cause...ya de...de one thing.....always cared bout in...in that Blooming....place." His eyes close a little more as he hears the forgiveness from Flint and nods weakly,"Hey...t....take care...Windrose for me k?"

Flint frowns, he nods "Of course chap."

Windrose sits down and frowns, it's true she has feelings for Flint, but she cared about Flare also, she is silent right now and seems unsure of what to truly do.

Flare eyes close,.."Thanks...." He gets out and after taking a couple breaths he is then still, his last bits of life leaving him.

Flint frowns and looks at Windrose,"Gonna be ok..Windrose?"

Windrose feels tears and leans against Flint and starts crying, she finally speaks "Take me home....please I ...I wanna go home"

Flint gently picks her up and looks to Flare, he will send some hares to fetch him as he knows he needs a proper burial. He first carries the hare maid back to the mountain and will go back out with a couple hares to get Flare. Then he is going to go to his own room and just be alone the rest of the day.

Windrose falls asleep before they get back, this day has worn her out and she usually has a lot of energy as she is a runner and this seems to have drained it all. She will be sleeping a lot the rest of this day and into tomorrow.
