*Ashnel waits at the arch of Terralux, armed with a small traveling bag and map... and several daggers. He has left Escaliber, his battle sword, back at Starsett Hollow in favour of lighter weapons.*

Batfowling, *Ashnel answers with a hint of sarcasm. He stands, and grins, showing his response was not meant in bad grace. Batfowling's a vermin sport anyways.* Nah, I'm off exploring. Was hoping Robin and Terri would come... and Thrukka would be welcome if she wanted to come too. *Ash' continues a little more gravely.* I heard Romula Heathrel was around, which I'd like to say is good news, but hate to lie to goodbeasts.
OOC: You might be able to tell I've been reading "The Tempest" again (show off, I know), because Ashnel's answer is pretty similar to replies given by Atonio and Sebastian. They reply when told they'll try and steal the moon that they'd use it to go batfowling (basically, catching wild birds).

*Before Ashnel can invite Geordie to come too, Terragon hurries up.* Morning, Geordie, Ash'. Is it just us today? *Ashnel nods, trying not to show his annoyance at the small talk.* So far. *This morning, the leaderess is wearing a black tunic, laced over a white shirt, and has chosen white trousers instead of the usual long, pale, skirt that usually accompanies her tunic. It never ceases to amaze Ashnel wear a former mercenary aquired such elaborate clothing, but, once again, he does not enquire further.*
OOC: FYI, basically, Terragon's going to have to admit loads of stuff. Like: she was never a mercenary. ;D

*Robin wanders over to where she saw Ashnel earlier. She spots Geordie and Terragon are already there. She sighs and siddles up to them. She is wearing her usual green tunic and trousers, with her headband, Sgin Dhu and rapiers. Her backpack is already packed and in a belt loop hangs a sling that Thrukka made for her.* Helo Ashnel, Terragon, Geordie. Any room for one more? *The squirrelmaid grins and passes a paw in front of her eyes and is actually quite shocked to see Geordie as she hasn't seen him for a while.* Geordie...haven't seen you in a while welcome back. *She waits with one paw in the strap of her pack and the other on her rapier hilt.*

*Terragon glances at Geordie with a slightly protective look, and smiles to Robin.* Y'managed to wake up in time? We were just about to leave without you. *Ashnel nods.* Hmm, p'rhaps we should be making tracks by now. Romula's not a vixen to stay in one place for long.

Of course I woke up in time, I could hardly sleep with all the noise you lot made making your way out here and packing and so forth. *Robin grins feeling slightly bolder for talking back.* So are we going to meet Romula then? *The squirrelmaid automatically grips her rapier hilt slightly tighter without realising what she is doing.*

I thought you two were still friends? *Terragon laughs.* Or has Romula been able to drive even you insane with omens? Mind you... *The squirrel stops herself from recalling any of the times when Romula has been right.* Ashnel's right, we should be going.

We are still friends I don't know why Ashnel has suddenly taken a disliking to her. *Robin looks over towards and thinks that it is probably the fact that he doesn't really like all those omens and fate supposedly controlling everything. She grins and wonders what will happen when they actually meet her.* You're right shall we get going then? *She shoulders her pack and makes as if to move off.*

*A tall otter strolls slowly towards the group of creatures by the arch. His clean dark green tunic flaps in the wind, as he adjusts his black leather belt around his waist. The otter's dark blue eyes gleams in the sunlight, and the smile on his face shows that he is a confident beast. A short sword was sheathed on his belt, a blue sapphire glinting on the hilt. Willowflame grins as he approaches the gathering. Having just got here from Redwall, Willow didn't know anybeast, bar those he had met at Redwall as a dibbun. Hoping to be accepted, the otter holds out his paw.* 'Ello everybeast. I'm new around here, and I just want to get a feel of the place. How do ye all do?

OOC: Careful, try not to switch tenses. Present-tense always.
BIC: *Ashnel raises a paw and nods to the otter, but impatience prevents him from saying anything kind to the newcomer. Terragon, on the other paw, grins at the otter.* Morning. Nice t' see you again, Willow'. How's your cousin - Dahlia - doing? *She doesn't wait for a reply, and ploughs onwards.* We're just setting off, I'm afraid. You can come if you hurry, *Ashnel snaps, getting to the point faster than anybeast can in a polite way. Terragon elbows him discreetly. Well done, Ash'.*

OOC: Thanks. I'll get there eventually. It's kinda' hard coming from DAB with past, to present tense here! BIC:*Willow smiles at Ashnel, though frowns slightly as the beast doesn't say anything. Turning to Terragon, the otter grins.* Hey Terri! *He shuts his mouth quick as the squirrel doesn't pause. Smiling he listens to Terragon. As soon as she finishes, he gives his answer rather quickly.*Nice to see ya' here. Uh, she's fine thanks. Well if you don't mind, I would like to come along. I'm ready now. *He pats his sheath, ignoring Ashnel's comment. Hmm I'll have to get to know him better. I don't think he trusts me, Willow scowls inside, though his face reveals nothing but thought.*

OOC: Willow, DAB's RPers always use present-tense.
BIC: *Terragon nods.* Glad t' hear it, but we'll have to leave now, because my dear cousin - *She nods at Ashnel.* - does not take kindly to small talk. *Ashnel gives a smile that is somehow friendly, but nearly sarcastic as he agrees.* Besides, as I've said, Romula doesn't tend to stay long in any given place, and I think it's about time me and her talked again.
*Terragon frowns, but does not enquire further as the darker squirrel has, entirely without warning, set off without her and the others. The leaderess indicates Robin, Geordie and Ashnel in turn, naming the each for Willow's benefit.* That's Miss Robin Canopy Redflash, Right Paw and, of course, my sister; and Geordie Brushtail, the marvelous Left Paw of Terralux - *She gives the grey squirrel a slight smile and looks away.* - And Ashnel Alashia. My adopted second cousin.

*Robin looks at the otter and grins at him she thinks he looks quite trustworthy and nearly laughs when Ashnel snaps at him. He always just has to act up when he meets someone new. She thinks he even did it when they first met but she can't remember all that well. The squirrel turns her attention back to Willow.* Hello Willow and welcome. *The squirrelmaid shoulders her pack and turns to Terragon waiting for the off to follow Ashnel.*
