*Stoakly is pushed roughly saide by Ashnel, but the ferret does not move. He stays where he is, pushing back with his weight. Stoakly sneers and calls to Terragon for help. But Ashnel would not give up. Eventually, the ferret is pushed aside. Stoakly gets jostled and he falls back into the wall. As Regen and Ashnel leave, he follows closely. Stoakly walks a bit far back from the group; his cutlass drawn. Adoni is in sight, but is walking quickly. The older ferret rolls his eyes at the antics of Ashnel. There is a lot to learn about Terralux, but I must protect Adoni. He's my cousin!*

*Regen sniffed the night air lightly, his knife at the ready. He glances over his shoulder at Stoakly, but ignores the drawn cutlass.*

*Ashnel nods in satisfaction. His quarry is not yet out of sight. There he is. For a moment, as he draws his dagger from the sheath on his belt, the squirrel wonders whether to call out to the ferret. But some kind of instinct takes over, and Ashnel plunges into the night. Yet this instinct makes him forget the one thing he'd never normally forget...*

*Regen glanced at Ashnel, then turned off the path and into the woods, taking a half-circle course that will cut the ferret off. *

*Ashnel jogs forward, slower than usual, as though weighed down by something. The dagger in his paw glints. If he'd had time, he'd have covered the blade in earth to stop it betraying him. The squirrel closes in on Adoni, then, suddenly, falls with a half-silenced cry. Ashnel is still holding the dagger in his paw, and the paw is wrenched back towards the squirrel's body, still clutching the blade...*

*Regen sits in a tree, waiting for Ashnel and the ferret. He glances up, hearing a quiet cry, then begins to leap through the branches of the tree.*
*He gets over the spot where Ashnel is, and is about to keep going, then sees the moon glint off the dagger. *
*He waits a moment for it to move. When it doesn't, he jumps out of the tree, landing lightly beside the squirrel - and curses softly.*
*The squirrel quickly turns Ashnel over, making sure to keep the knife still...
OOC: He doesn't move the dagger because if you move something that is stuck in you, you're likely to bleed to death.

OOC: Yup. In Art, we were using craft knives and one of the guys cut himself. The art teacher hates the sight of blood, so me and a friend had to sort it out.  BIC: *Ashnel looks up at Regen.* I'm fine. *Then, by way of explaination, he taps his side to a metallic noise. The squirrel had been wearing a breast plate beneath his tunic.* Don't ask. It was a precaution. Why d'you think I was running so slowly? When Terragon told me to come to the Tavern unarmed, I got a little paranoid. *Ashnel grins.* Oh, and Regen? Help me up, will you? OOC: What was kind of stu-ish, but it gives Adoni time to run off. |

OOC: Ah well.
BIC: *Regen sighs quietly. *Good. I was afraid I'd have to explain this to Mela'.
*He grabs Ashnel's paw, looking very relieved. *Come on.

*Ashnel, pulls himself up, trying not to lean too much weight on Regen.* Thanks. *He mutters, and sheathes the dagger. I might not be lucky next time.* Where's Adoni? *The squirrel glances back along the path.* And where's Stoakly?!

*Don't know. I was after Adoni when you tripped. Stoakly was behind us, but I don't think he is anymore - I kinda went off the path. *
*Regen glances around the dark woods pensively. *
*Stoakly had that cutlass out - I wouldn't want 'im to sneak up on us.

*Stoakly shivers as he sees the leaders. His cutlass in paw, he sneaks up. Adoni is in sight. Grabbing his cousin by the shoulder, the ferret yanks him back and yells at Adoni.* Adoni! If you hurt a single beast here I swear you will wish you never saw Terralux! *Adoni cringes at the sound of his cousin, swallowing a gulp of fear. He quietly grabs his knife, and turns around quickly. Escaping the clutch of Stoakly, the younger ferret glares at him. Holding the little knife in paw, he points it directly at his cousin.* Lissen up, yew! I will not, I repeat not, hurt another Terraluxian! I spoke of my past and now I am a fugitive! Why? Why is that? Tell Ashnel to put his sword down! *Stoakly is set back by the sharpness of Adoni's yelling voice, and he steps back. Clutching the cutlass firmly, he waves to Ashnel. *Its okay, Ash! *He says, half believing himself.*

*Regen wheels about, knife held out at an angle. The squirrel, angry at himself for not being alert, bares his teeth at the two ferrets. *
*Don't. Keep that dagger in your paw, Ashnel.
If that ferret catches me off guard again, who knows what'll happen....

*Ashnel almosts obeys, and then stops. Because in the Pine Groves he's been told and has told others never to do what the enemy wants or expects you to do. But Adoni is not the enemy, The squirrel reminds himself and tries to believe it.*
Adoni, it's alright. *He calls, edging forwards.* We've not come to hurt you, we've come to make sure you're alright... *He reaches the two ferrets and nods, his breathing heavy as he tries to concentrate on Adoni's every movement.*
So, you're going to come back to Terralux, *Ashnel says, not asks.*

*Regen follows Ashnel, rather unwillingly, almost appearing to drag his paws in the leaves as he comes. He holds the knife in the same position, slightly away from his body and pointed forwards. *
T'will be hard t' relax at Terralux wi' Adoni about, I think.
OOC: Before the whole world gets permanently mad at Regen, please remember that he is mostly drunk, not to mention being incredibly overprotective of people he likes. Plus, he's acting mainly on instinct here, not on any rational line of behavior.

*Ashnel is half-aware that Regen is behind him, but can't turn to see the other yet.* Adoni? *The dark squirrel says, trying to keep the uncertainity from his voice.*
