To Prank an Otter ... is very Dangerous

Characters: Fira, Aikuen, Will, Kentar, Amy

Location: Kentar's Cabin

Kentar's Cabin: Kitchen

Fira has woken with a bit of a nightmare from her midday nap sadly, she's just trying not to think about it while she's down in the kitchen, making some lunch as the kettle whistles at her, waiting till she notices it's boiling.

Aikuen was out on the porch working on the rock. He has gotten a lot done. Which is good, for the anniversary is only a little more than a week away. He lets her take her naps in peace, without interruption from this otter. He lightly hums to himself, as he chisels out the tiny words. Then he hears something. A light whistling. He looks up and blinks. He then shrugs of off, and goes back. But, There it is a again, though its getting louder. He blinks and tilts his ear in the direction it might be coming from. Yep, getting louder. He shakes his head, putting the rock and chisel within his cloak, before standing up, and following his ear to the sound of whistling. The older otter enters the cabin, and heads for the kitchen. He knows that sound! He enters the kitchen and leans against the doorway, giving a small smile at her. Wondering if he should be sneaky or not.

Fira still hasn't noticed the kettle or him yet either as she's part way through making a sandwich and hunting the entire kitchen for anything which might make it complete...even if it does look like it's got enough in it for three sandwiches already.

Aikuen just watches her. He cant help it. She is so cute when she is hungry. He just cant stand it! He chuckles and walks over behind her, as she is digging for something, and wraps his arms around her, "I gotcha sweety!"

Fira squeaks quietly, jumping in surprise at the same time as she swings the first thing that comes to paw at Aik. Death by potatoes! Well maybe not death and there are only half a dozen in the bag but still, she's been taken by surprise.

Aikuen smiles and gets whacked in the chest by potatoes. Was expecting to be surprised, and probably attacked. But not by vegetables! He falls in a heap on the floor, having a good amount of wind knocked out of him. He seems to be out, then he blinks up at her, "So that's how you say hello now?" he grins, still on the floor.

Fira blinks as she turns enough to see who it is. An exasperated sigh and she lightly swings the potatoes at his chest again, lighter this time at least "Don't sneak up on me like that!" having told him off she offers a paw down to help him back up again.

Aikuen chuckles and ufs at the second swing, "I know that... But you know i cant help it! I just love to sneak up on my girl! Cause I'm a sneaky otter!" he grins and takes her paw, "Ug... I'm too heavy... and too hurt!" he just lays there, with a silly grin, being silly.

Fira hauls...but he really is too heavy for her so she leaves him there and drops the potatoes off in his lap. Sticking her tongue out "You'll just have to stay there then" she is just playing about too but she does still leave him there as she heads for the kettle instead. She's almost on the brink of being moody, so far everything's still fine though.

Aikuen chuckles a bit, then ufs loudly, and curls at the vegetable drop, "Owie!" he grunts. He blinks a few times, and pulls the potatoes off him, going to stand up. He cant help but chuckle though he is hurt, as he places the bag on the table, "I'm up. I'm up." he grins at her, "Sorry Love. Ill try not to sneak up on you for a bit..."

Aaaand swing back the other way. Fira looks a little sorry if annoyed at herself "No, it's not your fault, you'd have to stand about till I noticed you half the time, I'm sorry, you just surprised me"

Aikuen tilts his head at her. Ah, the mood change. Must tread lightly here. He walks over to her, and wraps an arm around her, making sure not to burn either of them, with her kettle, "Its my fault. I need to pick better ways of announcing myself, instead of doing this..." he kisses her cheek, "I love yah too much, so you can hit me any day with tomatoes. But not carrots..." he nods, and chuckles.

Fira is still looking sorry and kisses him back on the cheek too "No carrots, promise" thankfully she's not quite gone all emotional yet but he's being too nice! There is no way to tread lightly sometimes. A quick sniff and she busies herself, getting another cup and pouring out the tea "Here, have a drink. Would you like a bit of the sandwich?"

Aikuen blinks at the sniff, and goes to smile at her, and gives her sides a little rub. He then goes off to sit at the table, in front of where the tea is being poured, "Thanks Darling... And sure... If you don't mind giving up a little, for little ole me!" he makes what he thinks looks like a pouty face. He laughs.

Will peeks into the kitchen having heard the otters in there and assuming lunch was being made. He stands in the doorway just waiting to see what moods the otters are in before he asks about lunch.

Fira has given Aik a quarter of her sandwich, hoping he eats it quickly before she reconsiders as she sits herself down to eat her part, drink her tea. Maybe think of what she might make for a second lunch. She's better when she's eating and just about spots the rat in the doorway too "Hello Will."

Ah the otters are not hostile today, though Aik generally isn't anyway. The rat smiles a little, "Hi, Mum. Pa. You havin' lunch already?" he asks eying the sandwich a bit though he's trying not to. Being hungry doesn't help.

Fira has already shared her sandwich, she's not loosing another quarter, be thankful she's stopped eating to talk "Yeah, I got hungry again" words almost sound like a sigh "How's the arm and Amy?"

"So you're having a snack before lunch?" Will asks trying to make sense of this since he's sure it isn't his turn to make lunch and he'd been hoping there might be fish if possible but he'd have to talk to the other otter for that. "Fine," he says when she asks about his arm and Amy, "She's with th stoats."

Fira is usually better at thinking of others stomaches too, hers is just demanding her attention lately "Well, no. This is lunch...though I might make another one in a bit...were you hungry?"

Aikuen finishes off his sandwich quickly before Fira does change her mind about giving it to him. Even so much to not even acknowledge Will yet. He licks his claws and says, "Heya Will!" he turns to Fira, "Thanks for the sandwich bit sweety..." he leans back in his chair, smiling at his wife's hunger. It is cute!

Fira glances back to Aik and aims a light kick at his leg under the table "You heard the rat. Fish!" she of course expects one too

Aikuen keeps smiles at her, just kinda out of it. Cant turn away from her beauty. Then he is kicked. The beauty hurts! He mouths 'Ow' to her, and then says, "Ye ma'am. But first... I'm going to need something... Like... a..." he grins stupidly, and points to his mouth, "Then ill be off on my way, for fishy fish for the entire family!" yes, he is stupid. But dang it. He wants a kiss!

Fira rolls her eyes and leans over to give Aik a soft kiss before she looks him in the eyes and says very clearly "Get fish" she says it nicely yet the idea is there that 'or else' might be tacked on if he doesn't hurry.

Will blinks he didn't think that would work so well. Ah the perks of having otters for parents. Fish and hotroot. He smiles a little at Aik's sillyness and Fira's ordering him again. The rat is happy he will have fish for lunch after all.

Aikuen grins at the kiss, then there is the words. He blinks at her and gives a fake scared look, "ECK! Yes! Yes! Fi! Yes!" and he gets up and walks toward the door. Ah, but that doesn't end the silliness for the otter. When he gets behind her. He leans down and gives her a big fat ole hug, and kisses her on the neck, "I got one! A Fishy Fi!" he then laughs and runs out the door, before he is attacked by more vegetables. He is hurrying!

Fira ahs! Surprised again! She bats her paw at Aik as he runs off. A shake of the head and an eye roll and she's eating her sandwich again. There is a little bit of a smile though, he is silly.

Will chuckles at Aik's antics and moves out of the doorway to let the otter pass not wanting to be crushed and trampled upon. Having nothing better to do at the moment the rat wanders over to the table and sits down, "Hi. Having a good day today?" he ask Fira.

Fira glances back up to Will as he sits down. She holds up a finger for a moment, just getting him to wait until she finishes off the giant mouthful she ate. Finally though she can speak again "Not too bad, over the worst of stuff. For now anyway probably. Just...eating. Sleeping. Yep, that's my day. How about you?"

Will says, "I'm good. A little hungry but Pa'll be back with fish soon. Amy's not mad at me anymore .. for now. It's been a pretty good day I guess."

Fira hmms, thinking for a moment before she shakes her head again "I loose track of how many times everyone's mad at each other for one reason or another. Still, so long as everything's alright again now."

Will shrugs, "It's fine now and it hasn't really been too bad lately. That just happens sometimes with so many beasts in one place for so long. It's normal."

Fira nods slowly "Well, I'll have to take your word for it but it does kind of make sense...Nevermind. I'm glad it all worked out again...just got to hope Aik's back soon" she is on her last bite of sandwich.

Aikuen returns! Bearing a... basket? Yep. Definitely a basket. It smells fishy anyway. Might be made of fish. Aik chuckles and sort of skips into the room. He turns around and pulls something out of it, before placing the basket in the middle of the table, so everyone can reach it. He goes over to Fira and grins, "Sooo.... how much do you love me?" and he pulls out, from behind him, a large grilled fish on a stake, and hands it to her.

Will nods, "Yeah that's just how families are ... I think, it's how ours is anyway. He's been gone long enough t have caught something by now so ..." Will grins as Aik comes in and set the basket on the table, "Oh! Basket of fishies! /Big/ basket of fishies. How many did you catch, Pa?" he asks smirking as his father starts teasing his mum again.

Fira perks up when she sees Aik and then even more when she smells fish. She immediately goes to snatch the fish on a stake off of him "Nearly as much as this fish" she jokingly responds to Aik's question.

Aikuen laughs, "Dang. That's a lot of love!" he grins a winks at her, before going to sit down, wrapping his arm around her middle. He watches her eat for a minute, before catching up to what Will is saying, "Umm... I caught 4 big ole ones. And i grilled them all. But i gave the biggest one to my lovely pregnant wife!" he chuckles and kisses her cheek, so not to interfere with her eating. Oh what the heck! And he kisses her on the lips after she takes a bite, stealing a bit of fish in the process. He laughs.

Fira flick's Aik's nose in retaliation and he's lucky she doesn't take a bite out of him instead! Grrr her food.

Will laughs at Aikuen as Fira takes the fish from him. "Mum wants fish now!" he laughs standing to try and peek into the basket of fishy goodness so he can get some fish before the otters eat them all. He has learned from the hotroot episode last night and he can be quick if he really needs to be. He nods at Aik as he munches on his own fish now, "Good. It's good fish. And good you gave Mum th biggest one or she'd make you go get more."

Aikuen grins and rubs her side, but let her eats in peace now. He just watches her again, before laughing and looking back to Will, "Thanks! And mum can have all the fish she wants! And ill get more if need be!" he watches him eat now, "Soooo... Is my family all happy?" he grins. He enjoys being needed, and he loves to make his family happy. He loves them all!

Will nods, "Think so. Mum'd agree I think but fish are important too." Looks like Fira is too busy eating to lip read. "How much longer are we staying here? Are we going back home from here or are we going t look around here for a b- ship and sail back home or what?" the rat asks having long since grown tired of the sea shore and the cabin.

Aikuen looks to her and chuckles, before looking back to Will, "Aye!" he then tilts his head, "Ummm... Not quite sure. Depends on what Kentar thinks. Must be soon though. I want to get me lovely wife home, so she can stay off her feet, as much as she can." Fira is still chowing down, and ignore him. Aik continues, "I think we're going directly home from here. I told Kentar, but he didn't listen. I want to buy a ship on the west coast. Its closer to our home, plus there are more islands to explore... But i have been checking on the boat situation around here. There good. Just not what I'm looking for..." he nods.

Will nods, "It'd be good t get home we're been here a /long/ time. You think Kentar wants t stay here instead of going back t Moledeep? He does like it here, a lot. Aren't those redcoats at th west coast or do you think they've left? I know there's a city around here with docks an stuff I've been there before ... been lot of places before, I was there in Col- er whatever it was for about three days I think it was it's a big city." Will leave out the reason that he was there three days was because he got lost and it took him that long to find a way out of the city

Aikuen shrugs a bit, "Eh... We have been gone a long time. But its good to get out of Moledeep. A nice vacation... so to speak..." he looks to Fira and grins. She looks at him, like he is crazy before nudging him for staring. He chuckles, "And i don't know about the redcoats. They might be. I'm not sure. I haven't heard hide or tail of them, since that day." he sighs and shakes his head before going back to all smiles, "I'm not too worried..." though he is worried about two other otters in the room. Its the only thing that makes him queasy to think about. He shakes his head. Fira finishes off her stake and rolls the piece of wood on her tongue flopping against Aik. He grins and places his head on top of her, and gives it a little kiss. He then whispers softly, "I gotcha... love you Fira..." he grins and closes his eyes.

Will sighs, "Yeah you've had a nice vacation and Amy an I ended up here anyway. Not that I haven't had fun here with you an everyone but this isn't how I'd planned to spend th season." The rat smiles a little as the otter both drop off to sleep. He chuckles a little, "Yeah you otters just go t sleep and forget about everything. I hope you're right about th redcoats, Pa. First thing we should do when we get back home is see if anything's left of the garden an Racky though he's pretty good at taking care of himself, might be worried though from th note we left him. Then we need t go to th Abbey and stock up most likely and see what all's been going on since we've been gone." Will turns his chair backward and sits down on it again, "Watching sleeping otters isn't very exciting you know." He does a quick sweep of the kitchen and grins, "but I might be able t fix that." He quietly goes to raid the vegetables and finds some dried beans, perfect.

He very slowly and carefully starts to arrange the beans all over the sleeping otters.

After a long day of wood cutting, Kentar comes into the kitchen, looking for something to eat. He pauses though when he sees napping otters. And Will. "Hey Will." He smiles, speaking quietly.

Will freezes and looks over at the stoat from where he's is, standing on a chair placing more bean on Fira's head, "Basket has grilled fish," he says quietly more to keep from waking Aikuen than Fira. "Pa caught four big ones. Mum an I had some already. Don't wake them yet."

Kentar blinks as he eyes what Will is doing. "What are you doing Will?" he asks, grinning ear to ear. He ignores the part about the fish for now.

Will puts a claw to his muzzle to shush the stoat before saying very quietly, "They fell asleep and I was bored. It's fun. Want t help? Come on big brother, you know you want too." the rat grins mischievously, "Sides watching them sleep is like watching paint dry. Only more dull."

Kentar huhs and then tilts his head, grinning ear to ear again before going over. The tired stoat nods slowly. "What are we doing?" he asks quietly, grinning still, thinking this will be the most brilliant thing he's done to them yet.

Will grins and shrugs a little, "I have no idea. Whatever you want so long as they don't wake up. They're lucky though. Flicktail at th Abbey used t always talk about how th Abbey dibbuns an I think maybe even his own would always tie him up and pour honey and stuff on him an sit him out for th ants an stuff."

The stoat nods slowly and then thinks for a few moments. The stoat then vanishes and comes back with some rocks. Just random ones he quickly gathered from outside. He starts to place them randomly on Aik's head, chuckling. Rocks are better then beans.

Will tilts his head at Kentar and whispers, "Careful. He may have a head ache if those hit him when he wakes up. If he asks about the rocks I will deny everything just so you know," Will adds quickly sticking his tongue out at the stoat. Silly rat no wonder Amy says he takes after his father.

Kentar nods slowly then grin. "I'll just say that Christopher did it." he chuckles. He maybe MUCH older then Will, but he's just the same age inside. He carefully stacks the rocks on Aik's head and even places two big ones in his ears.

Will bites down hard on his bottom lip to keep from laughing as Kentar puts rocks in Aik's ears. "P-pass me two, please. Think they should match." He can't keep a straight face now but at least he's kept from laughing and waking Aikuen.

Kentar laughs quietly, the stoat passing over two rocks before thinking. He places a big one in the otter's lap and then drops a few in Aik's tunic, chuckling quietly, having a hard time being quiet.

Will grins, bloody lip notwithstanding, as he gently puts the rocks in Fira's ears not that it would make much difference in her hearing like it will with Aik. He smiles over at his brother, "Now what?" he asks wondering what else they could do to the poor sleeping otters

Kentar grins. "You remember those claw paints Kluna liked? Well. I just happen to have some handy." he grins, pulling out two jars of paint. Two colors. Red, and green. He of course takes the green while handing the red one to Will. "I think some otter paintings are in order.

Will nods and takes the red paint and dabs a bit on Fira's nose and a little over her eyes and then he drizzles a bit on her head and down her back still trying not to laugh as he does so

Kentar grins and takes some green paint, starting to cover Aik's eye lids with, not a large amount of course. He then paints the ears green, looking as if he's about to burst.

Will passes the red paint back to Kentar, "O-ok. That's enough. She's gonna have a baby we shouldn't be too mean to her." He climb down off his chair and hunts around for a bit and pulls out a few carrots, "Here put some paint on him an stick these all down his back!" the rat is not as quiet as he should be but the otters have been sleeping so deeply it shouldn't matter that much and he can run fast.

Kentar grins and takes the carrots before putting them down the back of Aik's tunic. He finally paints a big smile face on Aik before putting the paint away. "Aha! We're brilliant painters, Will! See!? I made an otter smile!" he laughs.

Will is now by the door, he nods a little, "Yeah. Let's get out of here before they wake up." He knows their luck won't hold out much longer and his rarely holds out /this/ long anyway, better not push it anymore.

Kentar nods and then grins, putting the paints on the table before quietly, and quickly darting out the door so they can't catch him in the act.

Will follows, ducking into his room to wait for the sounds of waking otters.

Kentar dashed into the living room where the otter family was, quickly sitting down with them, telling them, that if Aik asks, Kentar was here all the time. The group giggle and then go back to their fire huddling.

Will settles down on the floor of his room and pulls out his marbles scattering a few about and putting the rest in a pile next to him as if he'd been playing against himself all this time should Aikuen look in on him. He's told Amy nothing since she's still with Garnet and Chris as far as he knows.

Aikuen gets up and goes over to the sink. He looks into the bucket of water, and he nearly flips out. Have to wash his face, ARGH! Grabbing the wash cloth, he wipes his face. As he does so, he realizes that are rocks lodged in his ears, and beans in his headfur. WHAT THE HELL!? After he got most of it, he goes over to Fira. He wakes her. She awakens and blinks. Then there is a loud squeak, as Aik shows her face in the bucket. She grabs the cloth and beings to wash off all the red. Both otters mouth many colorful things at each other. If they ever find whoever did this... Aik extracts carrots from his tunic and breaks them. He then extracts rocks from Fira. Those beasts who did this to them... So now the two otters, dripping with wet fur, mixed in with multi color paint, began there stomping of the house. They first go off into the living room. And both frown at the stoat. And what a frown it is...

Kentar's Cabin: Living Room

Kentar was just sitting there. It was the little otter who spotted Aik and Fi first. They point and everyone looks up, including the stoat. Everyone starts laughing nice and loud. But Kentar looks away first

Aikuen frowns at each beast in the room, slicking his wet headfur back, and then whipping the water in their generally direction. Fira is just about to become moody. Not only did her nap was disturbed. SHE WOKE TO BE A FREKING VAN GOGH! She continues to frown at Kentar. Aik blinks and says, "Laugh it up... go ahead... but if i find... whoever did this..." he reaches into his cloak, and pulls out a small metal tin. Where he keeps his black soot "Its time for makeup..." and yet he still frowns. Massive frowning going on here

Kentar snorts a little bit and then shakes his head. "It..." laugh laugh laugh, snort. "...wasn't us." he laughs. "How can it be? We were....ahaha....all....hahah....sitting here...hahaaaa!"

Aikuen has a sneaking suspicion Kentar had something to do with it. Though he is probably not the ring leader of this little shenanigan. He takes a step forward and eyes the stoat, "YOU... better stop laughing and tell me the truth boy... or else lets see how you like it if i draw a frowny face on you..." he smirks and looks to the tin. Yes... it might be a trick.

Kentar laughs a little and grins before standing up and bowing to the otter crowd. "Thank you, thank you. Its always good to know that an artist's work is loved!" he starts laughing so hard, he ends up crying.

That's all Aik really needed to know. He growls and pounces on the stoat. And forcing him down with his knees. He smiles evilly, "AHA! SO IT WAS YOU!!" He takes the tin, and takes a big hunk of the soot paste, and makes a frowny face on the stoat. Then gives him big ole sad eyebrows. He stands up, and laughs at the stoat, though he is still frowning, "Your such stupid stoat! Geeze..." he rolls his eyes. Fira seems to perk up a bit at the 'sad clown'. She just smirks faintly.

Kentar turns just in time to see Aik pounce on him. He screams out and struggles but ends up with a sad clown face. He frowns and then starts laughing, the stoat pretending to be a sad clown for a while, making the little otter dibbuns laugh. The three that are in the room anyways. The forth hasn't been born yet.

Aikuen is still trying to maintain his frown at him. Cant... resist... must... laugh... at him! And he does so, and has to hold his side as he does. Fira eventually does break out in silent laughter at the stoats little act, leaning on Aik for support. Aik wipes away a tear of merriment, and says with a smile now, "What the heck mate! Carrots? Really? Were not canvases for you!" he laughs.

"BUT I WAS BOOOOOORED!" Kentar says in a silly clown voice as he jumps about the otters. "No one finds me funny...boo hoo...why can't I be a great artist, boo hoo..." he acts about before laughing again.

Aikuen sighs and laughs, "If you're bored. GO JUMP IN THE OCEAN! Were not to be drawn on! Were not parchment you know!" he rolls his eyes at the stoat, and when he gets near, he shoves him, "Lay off mate..." he shakes his head and snorts.

Kentar grins then stops finally after he's shoved. "Haha. But it was Will who gave me the carrots and the beans to put on you guys." he nods. "Maybe we should all get him." he grins.

Aikuen chuckles and tilts his head, as the ring leader's name is told. Should have known. Just like his father. Putting things on beasts, while there sleeping. He looks to the stoat and raises a brow, "What was with the beans anyway! Were also not Stews!" he then rubs his chinfur, "Mmm... We should... but how..." must think... of EVIL PLANS!"

Kentar grins. "I can suggest a few ways. But first I think I need to wash off my black fur." he laughs. The stoat vanishes to the kitchens to wash up before returning. "We could do him up in paint and rocks and stuff while he's sleeping tonight." he grins.

Aikuen chuckles, "Ooo... That's dirty..." he grins, "I like it... very... bad..." he chuckles evilly, "Time for him to get his come uppence... We were having a nice nap, till you guys started drawing on us..." and the dream was about to get good. But that's another thing for later. He nods, "Lets do that... I'll pretend that I only think it was you who did it... until tonight... Then will get him!" Another evil laugh here.

Kentar grins and then nods very slowly. Although he shakes his head. "Can I help out?" he grins, tilting his head to the side slowly.

Aikuen takes a bit more soot paste, and dabs the stoats nose, "Of course you can mate... you're the one who will be doing all the drawing." he laughs, "I want a happy clown on one side, and a sad one... on the other" He grins and chuckles.

Kentar laughs and nods very slowly. "Good!" he grins, but brushes off that soot paste. "Stop that, its hard to get out of the fur." he chuckles.

Aikuen grins, "That's the point mate! Not supposed to come off easily!" he chuckles and puts the tin back in his cloak. Fira has gone back into the kitchen. Probably gone eating. Aik wipes a bit of his headfur back. Tried to get it back to its slicked form. So it doesn't get all poofy on him. He grins.

Kentar chuckles and then nods a little. "I know, but I don't like that stuff. It itches." he scratches his snout before looking around. "Yeah. Tonight, he's ours." he grins.

Aikuen nods, "Lets use some of the paint... That you so lovingly used on us... Lots of colors. I want to make him look SO silly!" he grins and stretches his back, with a loud pop. He yawns, "Must be soon... I is getting tired..." he chuckles.

Kentar nods and chuckles. "I will. Why don't you go tell Will its time for bed? Then we'll get him when he's asleep." The stoat grins

Kentar's Cabin: The Rats' Room

Aikuen nods slowly, "Aye... I will..." he grins and wipes off any of the water that might still be collecting on him. He nods and says, "Be back soon!" he chuckles and hops up the stairs. He knocks on the door to the rats room, and looks inside, "Heyo... Just wanted to say, that Kentar is in deep trouble... And its bed time..." he keeps from laughing. He looks a the marbles. So sad. The rat tries so hard!

Will looks up at the otter puzzled, "How late is it?" he asks knowing good and well that he's generally 'allowed' to go to bed whenever he chooses which is usually whenever he can't stay awake anymore. He also notices a lack of Amy who would be in the room if it were late. Something's going on here

Aikuen shrugs, "It's earlier than normal... almost bed time anyway. After what happened to me and Fi... Everyone needs to get to sleep. Or else. I tell you what'll happen tomorrow... But lets say Kentar, wont be seeing the light of day for a bit..." he points at the bed, "Now hunker down... and drift off... Ill tell Amy soon enough" Obviously, since she is not here. He is not moving tell the rat does.

Will isn't too convinced but isn't too worried about Amy since she can take care of herself and if not there are many other beasts that could help her if need be. "Ok," Will says putting his marbles away. "What did happen t you an Mum?" he asks as if this is really the first time he's heard anything about it. Or like a he would have once to a gentlebeast who'd mysteriously 'misplaced' his money pouch. The rat doesn't seem too bothered by anything really and crawls into bed thinking he's fooled the otter.

Aikuen nods and says, "Kentar... Apparently drew on our faces... We're not canvases... But now he knows better..." he nods again, "Night Will... See you in the morning. Tell Kentar night through the walls... Cause that's the only way he can hear it..." he chuckles evilly, and closes the door behind him. He walks back down the stairs and says quietly to Kentar, "Okay... just give a few minutes to drift off... Then draw on him!" he grins.

Kentar chuckles and then nods when the otter returns. "Right." he nods before yawning a little. He sits down to wait, of course

Aikuen nods and heads off toward the kitchen, to sit with Fira until it begins to become night. Light giggling can be heard from the otters, as Aik explains what is going on. Then its quiet. Either they went back to napping. Or they are just mouthing to each other. Either way, its quiet. It becomes night. And the moonlight is shining through the windows. The otter family has gone off to bed, wherever that may be. And Fira has also gone off to bed. Still grinning at what is about to happen, she gives a small wink to Kentar, before heading up stairs, then going into the otters bedroom. Aik then comes in and rubs his paws together, "Ready Kentar!?" he whispers.

Kentar was getting some more paint and stuff ready over the time that the otters were gone. He made sure he had more then what he needed. Finally, when Aik comes in, he grins and nods. "oh, I'm ready." He whispers back. "Are you?

Aikuen nods, and holds up a small pouch, and gives it a light jiggle, "Oh yeah... Got enough rocks here... to build a small pyramid on his face!" he laughs silently, "Come on mate..." and he silently heads towards the rats room.

Amy had woken up at some point much earlier and wheeled herself to the room she shared with Will. Finding the room dark and Will already asleep the maid put herself to bed with some difficulty before settling down to sleep with her arms around Will and her head on his chest since her splinted and bandaged legs prevented her from curling up with him like she used to do. Soon the maid is sound asleep, Chris really wore her out today now she knows why Garnet, and to a degree Fira, sleeps so much

Aikuen steps into the room, and he watches his step as he walks toward the rats. He kneels down and mouths, "You get started on the painting... I'll.. start the pyramid!" he laughs, and starts placing rocks very carefully, and very slowly on Will's chest, right above Amy's head.

Will is deep asleep and doesn't notice the added weight on his chest nor does Amy though she presses closer to Will trying to get more comfortable as she often does since her legs make it harder for her to to find a comfortable position to sleep in

Kentar pulls open the covers to the paints, slowly starting to paint the face of Will. He makes it good and sad clown like and tries so hard not to laugh.

Aikuen smiles at the stoat, and watches him start to paint. He continues placing rocks on the rat's chest, until he thinks it's gone on long enough. He grins and taps Will, hard, several times on the arm. He quickly runs out the door, and and closes it as softly as he can, while closing it as fast as possible. He then holds the knob, so Kentar can't escape. Make art of the otters will you! You played with the wrong otter! He grins and lodges the rest of the rocks under the door, to prevent it from opening for a bit. Lock the terrible two in together! He laughs and goes to his room. That'll teach them!

Kentar blinks quickly as Will wakes up. He'd run to the door but that would give him away. So he does the only thing he can do. He dashes under the bed quick and quiet, not hitting the bed on his way under.

Will looks around the room slowly. Nothing's there. Hmm. "That's really strange," the rat muses brushing any stray rocks out of the bed and onto the floor with the others before laying back down again.

Amethyst growls from under her pillow, "So is your yelling in the middle of the night for no reason."

Kentar stays quiet. He doesn't want to make any sound. But he starts getting that sneezing feeling...Oh no.

Will sighs, "Sorry. I thought Kentar was playing a trick on me with th rocks like that. There weren't rocks in th bed when I got in it. That's really strange." He shakes his head and curls up around Amy in an effort to calm her.

Amethyst pulls her head out from under the pillow and rolls her eyes, "Yes, yes magic rocks. That's fine just go to sleep. I've said it before 'Pillows don't talk' so stop and let me sleep."

"ACHOO!" Kentar really couldn't help it. And when he sneezes, his head hits the bed, making him ow. His ears lay back and his eye peers out from under the bed, expecting to see rat looking under.

Will chuckles and nuzzles her neck, "Ok. I'll be good." He smiles and closes his eye then the bed jumps. He sighs, "I don't think we're going to get much sleep tonight." He does indeed look under the bed and sees the stoat. He frowns, "Thought so. What's going on?" he asks the stoat still oblivious to the 'sad clown face' that's still painted on his own face. The fact that he isn't wearing his eye patch and his scared empty eye socket is quiet visible is lost on the rat as well since he is usually quick to put his eye patch on when around beasts, the only real exception is Amy since she can't see and is so stubborn about taking his eye patch from him. "Well, what do you have to t- Ahchoo! *sniff* to say for yourself, Kentar?" the rat asks still frowning.

Amethyst eeps and smiles at the nuzzle more than ready to drop off again and the bed moves and .... stoat? Why is there a stoat?! "What are you doing in here Kentar?" the maid growls testily at not only been kept awake but by the stoat under her bed. "Get out from under there and tell me what /you/ are doing in /my/ room under /my/ bed!" Amy is not happy nor does she care that the room and bed are also Will's and in a sense the cabin and all in it belong to Kentar and or the poor otter family, take your pick.

Kentar frowns and sighs, stepping out from under the bed. "Aik made me come in here and pile rocks on you." he says. He doesn't mention the sad clown. He brushes himself off.

Amethyst blinks. She hasn't been told what happened. "Why?" she asks stretching out the word as she looks annoyed and sleep deprived at where the stoat's voice is coming from.

Will raises a brow at the stoat's answer, "Just rocks? Hmmm. /Did you/ tell him?"

Kentar shakes his head slowly. "Because, Amy, Will and I painted faces on Aik and Fira. And no, he knew. He just knew. I think he knew because I don't usually do that sort of thing." The stoat is trying SO HARD not to laugh at the painted face of Will. And when it dries over night, it will be so HARD to get out. "And yes. Just rocks." he adds.

Amethyst blinks again and reaches her paw down to the floor feeling around for something, wouldn't be hard to guess what, "Uh huh. Painting on otters. From the same mind that came up with jumping off cliffs. Why am I not surprised."

Will knows very well what she's looking for and that it isn't in her reach, thankfully for him. "Loose something?" he asks moving to the far end of his side of the bed just in case he's wrong. "Ok. You an Pa had your fun already. You got me so get out of here so we can sleep." he waves his good paw at the stoat to shoo him away.

Kentar happens to see Amy move around. "Don't hit him with that staff of yours, if that's what your planning. It was my idea anyways." He nods. It's true. The painting part was his idea. "Right. Sorry." he says before turning to go to the door. When he tries to open it, he huhs. "It's stuck." he tries again. No luck. Then he bangs into the door and it opens unexpectedly, the stoat going through and falling flat on his face. "Ow."

Amethyst can't find her stick but it's just as well as the stoat seems to have punished himself for her, "You ok?" she asks not hearing him leave just yet.

Will is puzzled at why the door won't open. He didn't lock it did he? Probably didn't since the stoat got in. Maybe he should be sure to lock it more often from now on. "Yeah are you ok?" he asks grinning at the stoat's misfortune.

Kentar nods then finds Aik's rock. "Seems like our friendly neighborhood otter locked me in with you." he frowns before nodding. He looks up and stifles a few chuckles at the sight of Will. "See you in the morning." he stands and closes the door, going off up stairs...where he breaks into a fit of laughter.
