The Pawfasting of Flicktail the Champion. And Fae, the Vixen.
Location: Redwall Abbey; First Orchard
Riverdale pads unhurriedly through the soft grass of the orchard, leaning rather more heavily on his cane than was previously his custom, but looking invigorated by the fresh air and company. Smiling, he casts his gaze over the crowd.
Flicktail looks nervous carrying a coil of stout rope...looking at all the tables with cakes out, and food, lots of Honey cakes, he hopes the Bee folk have been ionvited, he stands in a new light green tunic, with the Abby on the lapel...his sword hanging from his hip...and he loosk spiffy
Lorimis bustles about, checking all those things which somehow get left till the last minute and rereading his notes for the fifth time just to be certain. He soon spots Flicktail and raises a paw to the fox "There's one then"
Turzel slowly strolls into the beautiful orchard, appearing more coiffed than usual. She mingles with the crowd, exchanging niceties with those familiar faces.
Flicktail's tail flicks wildly, he's very nervous
Nicodemus tilts his head, watching Flicky's tail, then wanders over and grabs the tip of it.
Flicktail yipes "oh...ello Father Nick....um..e ol tail as a mind o it's own......." he smiles nervvously listing to the musitions playing lovely music
Nicodemus smiles and releases the fox's tail. "Just Nic, these days. Thankfully, Lorimis has the habit, and a far finer beast for it. I'm just trying to prevent the sweeping away of all the food."
Flicktail nods "very thoughtful o ye Fa..er Nic.....by the way, Martin be onna move again..Oi think e were lookin for Castus
At an unhurried pace, two mice follow behind the others. Ben is holding Jocosa's paw and leading her somewhat apart and hanging back from the others. Smiling at everyone who looks their way, unfamiliar faces the two of them but all seem welcome for this occasion. Ben can be seen quietly whispering something to Jocosa, and affectionately squeezing her paw. Mostly the two hang back and watch as the occasion comes together.
Nicodemus shivers. "I'm quite happy no longer to be in his plans."
Turzel intently eyes the honey cakes.
Flicktail spies ban and Jocosa and moves over, politely excusing himself and offers both a very warm welcome..smilimg "and who are these little ones?
A little group of five otters arrives just in time it seems, Hallow leading her little party of guards. Though less threatening since they mostly seem interested in the food. They have some restraint at least as Hallow encourages them to sit out the way.
Riverdale quietly sidles up to Turzel and gently flicks her leg with his cane. Furtively, he produces a slice of cake from within his cloak. "Ah... thought you looked a bit peckish, m'dear." His eyes crinkle in impish glee as he looks upon his friend for the first time in a long time. "You look well."
The food is being guarded-- or shadowed-- by Layne, who was asked to plan the menu, though she made only a small portion of the treats on the long table that edges the orchard. Honey cakes, yes, and tarts and pies, and beverages from the cellar, and in the center, true to Flicktail's request, a Flower Gel, a large trifle flavored with candied violets and rose petals. She lurks near the spread.
Jocosa squeezes Ben's paw in return as they move through the Orchard, though she does see a couple of familiar faces and smiles to them. "Um. A former resident and her husband, come to see the Champion marry, Sir..." Jocosa replies, with a warm smile to Flicktail.
Fae weaves her way over to stand beside flicktail and warmly grabs his paw "h-hello dear" and waves to the gathering.
Flicktail's heart beats quickly "welcome Welcome" he spies the flower Gel "oh look how LOVELY" and smiles back to Ben "Oi think we start soon, Oi wonder when Fae as ta tie me up wi a knot.....my Best beast isn't ere yet..Aikuen
Flicktail says, "Oi ope e long patrol kin makes it"
Turzel releases a quiet grunt of surprise. "O-oh!" She turns to face Riverdale, her face wrinkling with a smile. "R-riverdale. How thoughtful of you." She reaches out and snatches the offered slice, nibbling on it with delight. "Thank you, hon."
Ben grins up at the fox, "I'm sure it'll all come together, certainly don't regret getting married myself, " He smirks, taking a side long look at his wife, "Jocosa's the best thing that ever happened to me and am sure you'll be very happy."
Turzel devours the cake in a few short moments.
Nicodemus mutters, "And every husband wisely says that or else."
Flicktail will remeber that, and looks to Lormis to see when this will begin
Fae smiles and looks up at the sky and then to Lormis patiently waiting
Lorimis smooths down his headfur, watching the crowd grow and seeming to be waiting himself so he doesn't interrupt the greetings. He raises his eyebrows at the pair, well that seems like a signal "If everyone is here I believe we should begin"
Flicktail moves to stand up by the front so his love can walk up the isle handing Lormis the coild of Rope, not understanding "tie the Knot" and Handfasting has to do with a single silken cord
Riverdale settles into a chair beside the aisle.
Lucas hangs about near Layne, pretending not to eye the cakes and carrying Moira, with the Abbot's words though his attention shifts from daughter to the ceremony itself.
Gwennythe watches, upside down, from a nearby tree. Of course she wouldn't miss this, though she's a little out of the way, she can see and hear things perfectly enough, and looks very pleased.
Lorimis takes the rope with a blink "Ah" he lowers his voice a little "Bit big and heavy perhaps Flicktail" he chuckles "A cord would have been better. First hurdle of the day. Do we have anything else?"
A abbey mouse comes up with a blood red silk cord andhands itto the father Abbot
Turzel takes a seat beside Riverdale, wearing a look of anticipation. She clutches a handkerchief for the inevitable tears of joy.
Layne isn't a wedding crier, but her paw strays towards Lucas', remembering their own ceremony just over a year ago. Happy times.
Flicktail stands waiting for Aikuen to join him up by Lormis, and for Fae to make her procession with the flower girl up to him
Lorimis bows his head briefly to the Abbey mouse "Just what I needed, thank you" he looks back to the crowd again and awaits Fae's procession.
Aikuen rushes in from the pond. Waving and panting, and scooting around in a big circle to where Flicky stands, "Sorry about that mate. Kids were antsy..." he then mumbles, "And we got lost..." he chuckles, "Did i miss anything?" as his wife and kids find a place in the back to sit.
Flicktail shakes his head bervously but relieved to see his best beast
Fae begins to walk down the isle with a happy flower girl behind her throwing handfuls of rose petals which dance through the air and flall gently to the earth.
Flicktail see's Fae and stands with his muzzle gaping open staring
Nicodemus sits on a bench, rubbing his staff and glad to be a simple guest.
Aikuen smiles at the vixen. Going to scoot away from the groom. Give them to space to do their thing. After a good helpful pat to Flickster. Glad he could make it (and just in time too).
Jocosa quietly leans on Ben, in a slight hug, watching happily.
Flicktail keeps staring mouth agape
Layne sincerely hopes someone closes it for him. It's summer and the flies will get in?
William and his wife sit down with Aikuen just before the important parts start. Amy keeps 'watch' on the littler ones as her husband quietly describes the goings ons for her.
Turzel gasps at Fae's beauty. She watches her march down the aisle, her eyes welling up with happiness.
Ben squeezes Jocosa's paw, returning the slight embrace and watching with his attention fixated.
Moira may not understand what's happening, but she's eagerly looking around and chattering away to her parents, though not too loudly, luckily.
Riverdale looks suddenly stricken by a memory. His eyes widen and his ears flick up and his skin takes on a sudden pallor, making him, for a moment, look his age. He gulps loudly, then rises painfully to his paws. He recovers his composure, then steps into the aisle, proffering his arm to escort the bride to her waiting groom.
Aikuen bounces on the end of his footpaws until he notices something, "Watch it mate..." mumbling. He quickly scoots in and closes the foxes mouth before quickly scooting away again. Cant have that can we?
Fae grins and takes the arm lightly. and nods greatfully to riverdale
Flicktail blink blinks, as his muzzle is closed, blushing as he THINKS he's whispering but says aloud "she be BEAUTIFUL! and she don't even ave e knife yet....
Riverdale whispers a quiet apology for his absentmindedness, adding as he pilots her awkwardly toward Flicktail: "You, ah, certainly look lovely, my dear."
Flicktail whsipers to Nicodemus "when does she get e knife?
Layne's eyebrow perks under her bangs. Flicktail measures beauty by cutlery?
Gwennythe sniffles slightly and shuffles on her branch, wings clasped before her. Her ears flared to better take in the scene.
Nicodemus' tail twitches briefly. "Ah, Flicky, I think you're far to eager to require she use a knife."
Fae smiles even wider, flashing her teeth. her dress flowing a little in the small breeze.
William as no idea what the fox is talking about but it sounds hilarious. Nic's comment clears things up but by then it too late though Will does try to cover his chuckles by pretending to cough. He really shouldn't laugh at the fox on his wedding day but he can't help it.
Lorimis raises a brow for the knife talk, mildly puzzled before he turns his attention back to Fae and politely bows his head a little as she reaches the front.
Fae steps up to flicktail and looks into his eyes warmly and flashes him another smile. wondering what she would need a knife for
Flicktail looks to Riverdale waiting for his Vixen's paws
Riverdale's expression is one of mingled bafflement and concentration. Even as he limps to a stop before the Abbot and the Champion, he takes special care not to trod on the hem of the foxmaid's garment. He decides not to trouble himself too much with the ongoing discussion of utensils. "Good job," Riverdale splutters nonsensically to Flicktail as he holds out Fae's paw. "Ah... and, ah, congratulations."
Flicktail takes The Vixen's paw and holds it, trembling andlooks to Father lormis
Lorimis finally raises his voice again for all to hear "We are all here, as I'm sure you're aware, for the handfasting of our Champion Flicktail and the lovely Fae, a union a long time in the planning and one that we hope will last for many seasons to come"
Flicktail's tail flick flicks
Fae blinks as she feels tears starting to form.
Riverdale takes a step back as he's flick-flicked in the face with Flicktail's tail. His little eyes swim with emotion, and from just having been flicked.
Flicktail smiles gratefully to Riverdale and nods his thanks
Lorimis continues "If anyone has any objections to this joining I would make yourself known now" he clearly expects nothing as he beckons the pair closer and produces the silken cord "If you would hold paws please"
Flicktail shows Lormis that Riverdal placed Fae's paw in his as they smile and he swallows hard
Fae exhales and holds out a paw for flicktail to hold, looking happily into his eyes
Riverdale chuckles softly, "I'm sure just one paw each will do."
Nicodemus mutters "Or you could fast their tails ..."
Flicktail says, "Y...yes one paw" he stammers admiring his bride"
Fae grins and places her other paw at her side, still looking at flicktail.
Jocosa has both her paws seeking Ben's as she continues to watch the ceremony, damp-eyed and beaming.
Layne does not cry at weddings-- but her expression is soft and thoughtful as she squeezes Lucas' paw.
Flicktail waits for what is next..his tail flicking slowly
Aikuen just bounces on his footpaws. Happy for the pair. He nor doesn't get teary-eyed at weddings. Though he might rocket off into the air. If he doesn't stop bouncing soon.
Lorimis chuckles quietly too "One step ahead, very good" he drapes the cord over the top of their paws as he speaks "Flicktail, Fae, with the tying of this cord we symbolise your joining together" tying as he speaks "If you have vows now would be the time to speak them, Flicktail?"
Ben squeezes Jocosa's paws, before slipping an arm around her and pulling her closer as he pecks her cheek and whispers to her as he watches, smiling as he looks on.
Flicktail trembles and stammers some "F..Fae..it will neer rain on us again..caus..Oi will be yer shelter..an..an you will be mine, and..oi will love ye always....By Martin's sword and this abby Oi vow..and when I am notthere..his sword shall be yers..because..you are me....and oi will look to no other but you..furever
Lorimis grins at the champion before his gaze turns to Fae and he nods to her softly for her turn "Fae?"
William reaches for Aik's rudder to 'suggest' that he had better not start start bouncing around the place. "Pa, sit down or stand still," he hiss over at the old otter.
Lucas squeezes Layne's paw back as he watches the foxes, reminiscing, smiling, smirking at odd points.
Gwennythe aws and wipes at her face with a wing. Lest she rain tears on anyone beneath her. Of course, some still escape.
Madison is listening more than watching, stood with her back against a tree, paws folded with cane hanging from her elbow, head bowed thoughtfully. She only raises her gaze to peer at Gwenn in the branches above at the possibility of a localised rainshower.
Fae grins and tries not to cry "f-flicktail, I w-will take your name and be your vixen, f-for all time and no one shall come between us" and swallows a joyful sob and finishes " in sickness and health, rich or poor, better or worse" and nervously shifts her place hoping that she didn't make a mistake
Flicktail smiles and strokes her cheek with his other paw gently
Aikuen shakes his rudder free from his son. He doesn't say anything just winks at him and stops bouncing. Going back to watching the vows. And he smiles gently at them.
Lorimis grins at Fae too before composing himself and the grin just into a giant smile "Then I have only ask, Flicktail, do you take Fae and Fae, do you take Flicktail?"
Flicktail exclaims, "Oi does!"
Fae nods, tears streaming down her face "i do"
Lorimis chuckles happily "Then I declare you both joined, as husband and wife, for as many seasons as you may live and beyond" he leans towards Flicktail "You may kiss the bride"
Flicktail blink blinks "kiss?' this is something new to him...
Layne winces. Not an auspicious start.
Fae chuckles and leans in and gently kisses her groom
Beaming from ear to ear, Turzel applauds newly wedded couple. She pauses only to dab at her eyes, overcome with emotion.
Flicktail's eyes widen, his ears perk and his tail stands straight out and puffs all up, this time his PAW thumps, if steam coudl come from his ears it would
Layne's expression relaxes. Thank goodness one of them knew what to do. She smirks and smatters a little applause.
Lorimis raises his eyebrows again but Fae clearly has the explanation covered and he just laughs and starts to clap.
Gwennythe beams and joins the applause, raining a little more, happy for the newly married couple.
Aikuen smiles at them and chuckles at Flicky question. When they finally do lock lips he starts to bounce up and down again. Applauding. Not quietly. But laud and proud. Come one. He is happy for them!
Moira just likes clapping. So she readily joins in with a gleeful little shout.
Nicodemus applauds the new couple.
Flicktail gasps "at..at were verra NICE!" he turns to look at the crowd "Thank ya all..now it's time for e celebration..ave the Hedgehoges break out e ale and cordials!
Riverdale joins in the applause, nearly dropping his cane in the process.
Darkmane chuckles softly from his position having kept himself toward the back of the gathering, his hands raising up to clap
Fae beams and wipes the tears from her eyes
With the ceremony out of the way, Layne relaxes her vigil on the refreshments, drifting a short distance from the table and letting the kitchen folk serve. She watches her daughter shouting and wiggling about, and a smile wreathes her muzzle and pulls her whiskers up.
Hallow smirks and shakes her head, clapping along. He guards have got into the spirits to provide 'Woop' noises, whistles and clap loud enough to rival thunder.
Jocosa applauds, and moves to sneak a quick kiss at Ben's cheek after watching the married foxes kiss.
Flicktail looks for Layn's guard bees, but comes down with the Vixen all smiles shaking Aikuen's paw...and ruffling Williams ears...andleaning down to Riverdale "thank ye sir....oi forever be in yer debt'
William laughs and claps for the foxes. What a nice wedding. Amethyst heartily agrees that drinks are in order, "Bring on th ale!" Her husband is naturally less in enthused.
Nicodemus approaches the newlyweds. "Congratulations, both of you."
Flicktail says, "thank ye my young friend"
Fae gives nic a warm hug " thanks for being here"
Nicodemus returns Fae's hug. "My pleasure, lass. You now have the honor of explaining to your children how they're both foxes and otters."
Flicktail takes fae and begins dancing with her
Riverdale takes in the bustle of the crowd for a moment before venturing to wend his way toward the Abbot and the newlyweds, offering greetings to the faces half-remembered and forgotten alike as he goes.
Flicktail says, "otterfoxes be e BESt beasts"
Flicktail says to Riverdale "oi am always in yer debt
Aikuen shakes the foxes paw heartily, "Congratulations mate. You to Fae! Happy days for the rest of ye... days!" he smiles warmly at them both before heading off to his own wife and kids. Who have decided the moving around is better then just sitting there.
Lorimis takes a deep breath, finally looking a little more relaxed as he steps away from his spot at the front of the crowd and lets the foxes have centre stage all to themselves.
Nicodemus moves beside the abbot. "Tis a lot easier in the watching than the doing, eh?"
Fae laughs happily as she dances with flicktail, enjoying the music. " i love you"
Flicktail dances Fay over to Gwennythe....
Wrapped up in the ceremony, the kiss from his wife is unexpected as the crowd starts to gather around the newlyweds. He turns towards her, smiling softly before returning the kiss as he grabs her close. Not a quick kiss on the cheek, though brief. Still, he's mostly a stranger here with his wife being more familar. So he holds back from the gathering, but still watching.
Lorimis glances to Nic and chuckles "Oh definitely, I'm just glad I didn't forget what I was saying. All went very smoothly though I think"
Riverdale reaches Flicktail's side and claps a paw on the young fox's shoulder. "Ah... Here. A little something..." He holds out a small, wrapped box. His ear catches a hint of Nicodemus' voice. His head swings round to find the source.
Flicktail blinks "why thank you" he begins unwrapping the present, curious to see what it is
Riverdale drops Wedding Present.
Flicktail opens Riverdale's wedding present.
There's a little Wood Sculpture inside!
Nicodemus nods to the mouse. "Aye, Father. A fine ceremony."
Flicktail says, "Riverdale..it be..beautiful!"
Fae looks up and waves to gwennythe
Flicktail exclaims, "It be the SQUEEARF!"
Gwennythe flutters to the ground, closer to the foxes, and dips a small curtsy to the pair. "Congratulations, Senher and M'dam. I will not say to have a happy marriage, because I am knowing that you will." She beams, happily.
Flicktail gently hugs Gwennythe too
Fae smiles to gwennythe " thank-you"
Flicktail says, "it be the perfect gift Riverdale....Oi..loved at cart"
Lorimis grins as he stop in the crowd to look back and watch the happy couple "Considering I have never done the ceremony before I don't think I could have hoped for more...and they do look happy"
Flicktail takes Fae over to use Martin's sword to cut the cake
Riverdale nods. "I'm pleased you remember it... Ah, but if you and Fae ever wish to join me... please, I will be glad to have you. We can discuss it later," he adds as Flicktail moves to the next event.
Lucas can't clap easily, he's got Moira, but he tries, clapping a paw against his arm and finally glancing back down to Layne and going to wrap that arm around her shoulders.
Nicodemus chuckles. "They do. Confused, but then, that's expected. More than usual, perhaps, but ... well, it's not un-expected."
Flicktail says, "aye owe will come see ya there o course"
Fae sits down in the shade of a tree to nible on a honey cake
Flicktail begins passing out wedding cake
Layne feels Lucas' arm curl around her, and she leans rather comfortably into his side, reaching up with her other paw towards Moira, a matched trio of mice.
Moira is doing enough clapping for both her and Lucas, if need be. Happy shouts, too.
Flicktail offers kate a pieace of cake
Riverdale wanders over to Nicodemus. "Father Abbot," he says in salutation, containing his pleasure at seeing an old friend in the interest of maintaining proper decorum.
Flicktail exclaims, "everyone eat and dance this be a party! Oi be a MAEERIED Otterfox!"
Nicodemus grins at the fellow squirrel. "Actually, just Nic again. I've retired the habit to Abbot Lorimis, thankfully."
William has left his wife with instructions to behave herself as he disappears around the corner as the cake is being passed out.
Jocosa cheers, then grins at Ben. "He said we should either eat or dance..."
Lorimis chuckles "They'll figure it out with time and for now there is cake so nothing can go wrong short of a little over eating. Mind if we're not quick it might all get eaten before we get some" he starts walking towards the table of food, though he does pause to look back as Riverdale mentions his title "Hmm? Ah" he chuckles "Wrong Abbot. Carry on" and he continues on his way towards the foxes.
Kate wiggles her nose softly at the offered cake, taking it and nibbling on it slowly, as she sits quite silent as she looks around with big eyes.
Flicktail sniffels "look at all me FRIENDS Father....oi were a vermin..and now I ave FRIENDS liek these..and oi owes it all to Skippa Hallow
Flicktail picks up and holds Kate
Fae finishes her honey cake and dances around the area joyously
Food has been mentioned and Ben turns to look at the tasty treats. He is a bit peckish, still he grabs Jo's paw and leads her, "A dance then, " He looks about at the gathering, maybe a bit nervous at the thoughts of strangers watching him dance and perhaps poorly. Still, he soon relaxes and gets in the mood. Focusing on Jocosa helps, as I guides her into a slow dance in the orchards.
Hallow splits from her guards, letting them feed themselves, though she also heads for the table, if a little more towards Flicktail. She perks her ears at mention of her name, just about picking out Flicktail through the beasts and those trying to get food.
Flicktail smiles as the moon comes up and all the stars, torches being lighted and a nice cozy fire...to keep all the food and geusts warm He offers hallow a plate full of fresh steamed fish
Aikuen talks to his wife for a minute. Then booting, (nicely of course) for his kids to go off and play with the other dibbuns. While he, ahem, dances with his own love. Of curse the cake will be missed. But he wants to dance now! Cake later.
Kate flicks in air letting out a squeek as she is picked up, her tail flicking wildly till she settles down, her paws still holding that cake nibbling away at it in her own time.
Lucas gives Layne's shoulder a little squeeze and aims a kiss at her "Turned out well. Shall we quickly grab some food before it's all gone?"
William returns with a wagon in tow. In the wagon is a heavy wooden box and given the occasion it's probably for a certain pair of foxes.
Nicodemus winds his way through the crowd, long practice making it seem effortless, and steps beside the groom, "And Flicky, my congratulations again, but I must be going. Thank you for the invite, and merry part!"
Flicktail's ears perk "Why Willim wot ya got there
Riverdale, lacking a suitable dance partner, and not particularly relishing the thought of asking 'Nic' to tango, beelines for the food.
Jocosa is pleased to dance. And relieved that Ben gets the hint- she's doubting they'll miss out on food even if they dance first.
Flicktail hugs Nic closely "we love ye Nic..always will
Fae stops at the refreshment table and pours a small cup of strawberry cordial and sips it watching willam happily
Nicodemus waves surreptitiously to the older squirrel and works his way from the crowd much as he entered.
Hallow smirks faintly as she's given a plate of fish "What, you think we ran out in camp?" she jokes but of course still takes it from Flicktail, going to give him a clap on the back soon as he's free again "Congratulations"
Up on toes, barely able to reach her husband's hearing, Layne murmurs, "I saved a couple of tarts and some pastries to the side." She smirks up at Lucas.
"Pade-rees!" yells Moira, pleased as she catches Layne's words too.
Fae waves to riverdale "thanks for the escort, i really appeciated it"
"The Padre can't have any," grins Layne at her daughter, and tweaks at her whiskers. "He can get his own."
William pulls the wagon through the crowd up closer to the fox. "It took a while but I did get em finished like you wanted. If there's anything wrong with em just let me know," he waits for the fox to open the box.
Lorimis has acquired himself a slice of wedding cake and seems to be enjoying it a great deal as he stands by the table and moves his tail in time with the music, occasionally adding in a little flourish of his spoon.
Flicktail leans down and opens the box "fae look at wot william made us!
Riverdale winks at Fae. "Ah... think nothing of it. I'm flattered you didn't request someone a bit more, ah... fleet of foot."
Riverdale returns to rummaging among the sundry cakes and treats.
Fae tils her head as her ears perk up. she grins at riverdale and walks over to see flicktail
Phineas scrambles through the orchard, appearing rather tousled. It's clear that the feline has overslept. He approaches the gathered mob with a lop-sided grin, and waggles his paw in greeting.
Lucas grins at Layne "Always thinking ahead, grab them and I'll see about getting us some of the cake, it looks nice"
"Cake!" The baby mouse then reports, after giggling at the whisker tug.
Aikuen leads Fira into some sort of. Well. It could be called a dance. Its more of 'odd sporadic movement of the feet'. But they both seem happy at it. Nor not caring a lick at what the others may think of it.
Phineas spies Turzel among the soiree. He discreetly creeps up next to her. "Oi! 'Ello, love!" the cat chimes, offering something of a 'bear hug' to the mousemaid. Probably much to her surprise.
Kate wiggles her nose a little sniffing at the air, having nibbled her cake all gone, her attention to exploring with her eyes ever silent.
Layne slips a covered plate out from under the tablecloth, where only the ants have noticed it, and not many of those, and all of them of somewhat dubious on the concept of manna. Unwrapping the plate, Layne has a private stash of a few choice fruit tarts and pastries for Lucas, Moira, and her. She nods at Lucas. "Beverly cake. Heavy on the sugar flowers."
Flicktail tickles kate looking at what William brought us
Fae gives flicktail a little peck on the cheek "hello, love"
Kate lets out a kitten squeek/mew as she is tickled, curling into a tight little ball, tail tucked in, turning into quite the furball.
William smiles at the foxes and kitten as they look over the dishes he'd made at Flicky's request. "I h-", whatever he was going to say gets cut off as his wife noise, crowd, and lack of eyesight notwithstanding has found him and wish to dance now that she's eaten. "Uh got to go. Congratulations!" is all Will can get out as he's dragged off into the crowd.
Lucas aims a little poke at Moira's nose when he hears about the sugar "You're going to be bouncing out of your fur tonight aren't you?" he manages to sound so delighted about it as he quickly gets a couple of slices, one bigger to just share with Moira before he's back with Layne, offering her one slice.
Fae looks at williams gift and smiles. " they're lovely!" and gives flicktail a hug
Dancing close to his wife, he relaxes and whispers. His head turning to watch the gathering, but his attention always brought center and focused on Jocosa. Eventually though he leads her finally over to the gathering of beast around the treats. Waiting his turn and eyeing Riverdale with some disaproval.
Flicktail shows the plates William made..beautiful Dinner ware for Fae, that each pieace shows the Redwall abbey in beautiful colors with marton's sword across the top and the words "I am that was"
Fae smiles "it's great, would you like to dance a little?"
Phineas's hug is half-heartedly reciprocated by Turzel. The cat bows briefly to her, satisfied, and then meanders over to the treat buffet. He begins to pillage the snacks--pulling off a bit of cake here, a scone there. Gobbling the sundry treats, he glances over to Riverdale. "Mmf! Didja' try that one yet?" He juts a finger at some brightly colored sugary delight. "It's divine!"
Layne gives the cake a wary glance-- it's sweet enough to make her teeth ache from here. She picks at one or two of the crumbly little sugar flowers that festoon it and they crunch. The cake under them is less tooth-melting, and she has a bit of that before passing the rest up to Moira to fingerpaint with.
Flicktail moves over to Hug Phineas "welcome me feline....ave some cake!
Phineas returns the hug, pairing it with a friendly smack to Flicktail's back. "One step ahead o' ye', mate! The food is lovely. So happy for you and yer' new bride. May you have many happy moons together and a thousand kits and such." He sort of trails off after that, stuffing his mouth with more cake.
Flicktail departs with his bride for hos cottage to..um..get to KNOW her.
Fae follows after flicktail chatting happily with him
