Was Taking this Job A Good Idea?

Safana walks quietly along the road, being back in Mossflower area and so close to her bothers village seems only slightly interesting, she keeps her eyes and ears open to sounds on the road.

Aster walks from the north and about walks right into the other cat and snorts "Watch where ya going, other beasts cross this bridge ya know!"

Safana glares and backs up, "Maybe you should watch it, and yes others do walk on the bridge so why does that matter" She leans on the railing and looks at the water below, some places along the shore has some thin layers of ice." Seems Mossflower is the same old same old, wonder if Redwall is too"

Aster smirks, "I dislike Redwall, I am guessing you do not and if that’s the case we have a problem here"

Safana narrows her eyes, "I did not say I liked the place, I was there once cause someone I knew was helping them, but they died and it sort of changed me, see he was pushing me towards befriending the abbey, at the time I wasn’t sure but I loved him and so I helped, but now...after his death and much thinking, I have decided could care less about that place, didn’t really like it then and have no clue how my brother even likes the place."

Aster tilts her head as she listens, "Your brother likes the place, well then he is a lost case I say. I hate it but may be willing to slip inside it and do some harm, not the type to really fake goodness, that would make me ill"

Safana shrugs as she looks at the water again, "Then don’t fake anything, I was in there and they know me, course at the time I was an ally, but not anymore and I don’t care what they say either, the cat they know isn’t around no more" She looks at Aster "So why so interested in the place for?"

Aster chuckles, "A job, sort of, see my new boss wants slaves and one he wants is in that abbey and I am sure there are some in there he like to see dead, they banished him from this area and he wants revenge and I am helping" A slow cold smile forms "Willing to help, can’t do it alone..well?" She offers a paw to shake and waits.

Safana looks at the offered paw, "I.." She seems unsure and then narrows her eyes at a thought and takes the paw and shakes it, "Sure...I am Safana, who you may be as if we are working together I will need to know your name and your bosses name as well please."

Aster grins "Aster, I work for a Nightfur. I gather slaves and you can as well, I am sure he would like the extra help and we can split the gold 50/50. You may be able to get inside a lot easier than me and look for an otter dibbun, Nightfur wants her as she was taken from him and seems only right to take back what is his correct?"

Safana listens as her ears stay perked, she frowns a little at the word slaves but shakes her head as if to clear it, "Alright I will help you, but you best be careful there is a village nearby, the leader hates slavers...like a lot. trust me, so watch your step.”

Aster asks, "Good, so we start soon but I have not seen any woodlanders just yet, and not been close to the abbey since a few days ago, were you heading anywhere today or just wandering?"

Safana says, "I may have a quick stop in Ferravale, I have some matters to tend to there, but it shouldn’t take long, I can meet you back here later or the Black Gull...or elsewhere"

Aster makes a face "Ferravale? Yes I been there the chieftain dislikes me, see he is friends with a hare and I don’t like the hare, I would like to stop him from breathing" She smiles coldly, "Or have someone else do it for me.."

Safana blinks slowly, "Who is this someone else you speak of?" She has an idea but hopes she is not correct on whom she thinks the other cat means.

Coming down the road, but not all too discernible, is an arctic fox. He's clothed with leather body armor that covers all but his extremities. For now, he is simply walking, but as he notices the two vermin, he speeds up slightly, eager to be away from beasts he doesn't know.

Aster smirks "I mean you, you can go there and kill him, I don’t know stab him...throw a dagger at him, poison his dinner or drink, your choice"

Safana listens and sighs, "So why do you want it dead for? What did he do to you?" She glances over at the fox when she sees the white fur, she watches him and then turns back to Aster once she sees she doesn’t know the fox.

As the fox gets closer, his ear twitches slightly as he picks up their conversation. He frowns, but is intrigued. As much as he hated social contact, it would do him some good to get a job. He changes his course and heads towards the two, nervously speaking up as he gets closer. "Uh..Sorry, did I hear something about killing a beast?" He asks, obviously looking slightly uncomfortable.

Aster nods "That you did , a hare..wouldn’t mind someone else dyeing either, but he may be harder to kill"

Safana nods a hello to the fox when he is nearer and looks unsure," Didn’t answer why you want him dead, just that you did, maybe just avoid him for a while"

Toran raises an eyebrow, looking between the two. "Well I don't mean to intrude, but I happen to specialize in such activities. Mayhaps you can inform me of both targets?"

Aster snorts" He is a woodlander, plain and simple, hate woodlanders..you know what, forget that idea, maybe make him a slave..kill the cat though" She stops and chuckles "Leader of the foul Ferravale, he and his dumb peace treaty with the abbey, how about that idea, I love it, do you?"

Safana eyes go wide at the mention of the cat and leader, "I..you would just bring yourself trouble if you had him killed, besides he hates slavers, just..maybe I can keep an eye on him so he doesn’t get too curious of what you and this Nightfur is doing"

Aster walks closer "You have a problem with the idea? Why is that, why the reaction?"

Toran narrows his eyes at the idea. "Leader of an entire village? I could take the rabbit, but the cat...that would be difficult." His earlier shy manner has all but disappeared with the talk of killing.

Safana speaks quietly, "I will get slaves for you, but trust me the leader of Ferravale should be left alone..need anyone else killed, sure..and here is another idea, your have a village after your hide and the abbey, who knows who else"

Aster shrugs "Fine, yeah more fun not to kill him and don’t want plans to come forward too soon...fine fine..just slaves, no killing of least the cat, there is others to maybe kill, give it time"

Safana frowns, she seems to be hiding something but doesn’t say anything.

Toran shrugs. "Fine with me. So all you want is the rabbit as a slave?"

Aster says, "Yes, I am gathering slaves for my boss, he pays well. It will require a little walking but that’s fine"

Safana sighs, she then turns and starts to head a little west once off the bridge, "Yeah, I will look for....umm slaves, need to get some things out of the way do excuse me"

Toran frowns at the departing cat, confused. "Is something wrong with her?" He asks Aster.

Aster raises an eyebrow at Safana, "Fine, don’t disappoint as I promise gold and maybe we can each keep a slave of our own." She shrugs at the fox "No clue, maybe she has no taste for blood" She chuckles coldly.

Safana nods at the idea of a slave and gold and walks off down a path, something on her mind.
