The floor is wooden and a large fireplace keeps the room warm in those cold months.Above the fireplace is a large painting of the Chieftain and his mate.In the room also is a table and a few chairs to sit in.A large bookcase is by a far wall with many books of all kinds on it.
Exits: [B]ack, [Bed]room, [K]itchen
Blisa the cat, Ferdinand the ferret, Basilisk the whiptail snake, Clarissa the rat and Valerie the vixen. Scioto the cat.
Blisa and her bodyguards got back home safely from Redwall Teusday night, and they have taken over the Chieftain's house again. Basilisk, kind of put-off that he didn't get to go and eat cheese to his heart's content, is sulking by the fireplace. The cat is perched on his back, drawing. Ferdinand is laying on the couch, reading. The other guards are in the rest of the house, talking, laughing and, in the case of Statler and Waldo, arguing in a friendly sort of way.
Scioto has been out and now enters the house. A quick trip to the tavern and a talk with someone it would seem as he walks over and sits in a chair.
Blisa glances up, then continues sketching. "Hi, Dad. How's your day going?" Basil looks at the Chieftain and whines, "Sssshe won't get off of me!" Ferdinand groans and covers his face with his book. "May I kill him? Pleathe? Or at leatht cut hith tongue out?"
Scioto frowns, "No killing today...sorry. And today has be good I am guessing you had fun at the abbey then ?"
Ferdinand makes fake weeping noises as Basil hisses angrily at him. "I'll have you know, ferret-face, that I could ssswallow you in one bite?" "You'd have to catch me firtht." "Stoppit!" Blisa hisses angrily, then rolls her eyes and focuses in on her father. "Sorry. I'm debating about gagging them both." Ignoring the ferret's offended "Hey!", the cat slides down off of the snake and walks over to her father. "Ferdy danced with me, and DoraRose's son was made into a Novice of the Order. The cake was. so. good! I wish you could've tasted it." She goes to give him a quick hug. "But there's no place like home, and nobeast like family."
Scioto smiles and hugs Blisa "I am glad you had fun, like I said I have no reason to go to the abbey anytime soon."
Blisa grins and goes to rest a paw on his arm. "You should've gone there for the free food! Free food is good!" She pauses, frowning, then adds, "Y'know, the Abbot seemed to be coughing allot. And he looked so frail. I hope he's alright."
Scioto blinks "Is he ill?" He hmms and then nods "I am sure he is fine, the abbeys Master Healer will make sure of it, and Lorimis is old after all...but yes I am sure he will be fine"
Blisa thinks for a few moments, then nods. "Yeah, I'm sure you're right. Leon's a great healer. Lorimis'll be fine." Ferdinand sits up, marking his place with a deep red ribbon and closing his book. Basil raises his head as Clarissa enters, a paw hooked in one of her baldrics. "Hey, Sir. The Abbey's great. I didn't know their Champion's a fox!"
Scioto nods "Yes one of the rare good foxes, and some dislike him being champion. I am ok with it as he does a good job of it"
Clarissa nods and sits on the snake's back, causing him to hiss and whine a little. "Oh, he's an amazing person. I hope they have a blessed marriage." Blisa nods, then shows her father her life-like sketch of Flicktail and Rayen kissing as LilyMoore tosses flower petals into the air above them.
Scioto looks at the drawing and smiles "Its a very good drawing, I will have to find something to give them as a wedding gift soon I suppose"
Blisa smiles happily. "Thanks. And that's just a sketch. Oh! What do you think of my drawing of Coldclaw? Does it look like him?" She shows him the drawing, which is only marginally less good than the ones of beasts she's actually seen. It is exactly how the Chieftain described him.
Scioto looks at the drawing and hmmms, "Sort of looks like him. Not seen him and its always good when one doesn't see a trouble maker as think he left Mossflower, to which I am glad. Right now need to find Bramblefur, then if he left...then all the better"
Blisa nods and turns back to the drawing she's working on. It's DoraRose in her orange dress. "I was sort of looking forward to giving him to Basil to play with, but it's probably better for everybeast if he's gone for good."
Scioto says, "Lets hope Both Coldclaw and Bramblefur is gone, I have a feeling Bramblefur is no longer a friend"
Basil raises his head and says hopefully, "After you get the information you need, can I eat him?" Blisa looks to the ceiling as Clarissa laughs and Ferdinand groans. "Whatdoyou think, Dad? Should we let Basil eat him, or let him go crawling back to his master?"
Scioto blinks "Eat who?"
"Bramblefur." Blisa looks at her father rolling her eyes. "Basil REALLY wants to eat somebeast. It's getting kind of annoying." Basil says in a whiney voice, "I can't help it, I'm a sssnake! We're sssuppossssed to eat beassstsss!"
Scioto sighs, "What if someone made cheese buns shaped like...I don't know...something that looked like a random evil beast, maybe that way you could pretend its a beast"
Blisa snorts and starts giggling at that thought. Ferdinand covers his eyes with a paw and mutters something about not encouraging him. Clarissa laughs aloud. After a few minutes of thinking, Basilisk nods. "That would do for now.....but I do want meat..." he adds wistfully.
Scioto says, "There is always fish or water shrimp prehaps""
Basil tilts his head to one side. "Are those meat??!" "Yeth, you thtupid yellow wyrm you! They are meat!" "I'm not sssstupid, you idiotic toad!" Blisa leaps up in alarm and goes to leap on the snake's head as Clarissa rushes to hold the furious Ferdinand back. "Sir, help me!" she shouts as the young cat claws at her pet's nose.
Scioto frowns and then speaks up "Alright every beast calm down...right now!" Yes he is starting to get a little upset now.
Basilisk whimpers as his nose starts to bleed from the furious raking Blisa gave it. He huddles down as she stands before him, fists on hips and paws akimbo. "Bad snake! No more cheese buns for a week!" Ferdinand growls and jerks away from Clarissa, pressing his fists to his ears and walking to behind his boss's chair. Fortunately for everyone, Basil is too cowed to start whining. Valerie enters, looking around anxiously. "Is everybeast alright?"
Scioto shakes his head "Ok, what we need is to calm down and stay calmed down...ok.?" Yes he doesn't want a bad day, he still wants to try to relax today.
Blisa nods angrily and banishes the very cowed Basil to his cellar. Ferdinand goes into his room and lays down, aiming to read his book. Valerie follows the snake and bandages up his nose. Clarissa and the rest of the guards are subdued as they go about the chores they've volunteered to do.
Thanks for reading! What could've possibly happened to the Abbot?! We'll find out soon enough...
