Well, might be, maybe they thought she'd wreck the place. *Oakrose grins.*

OOC: Careful, Oakrose. Always aim for your post to be at least longer than 2/3 lines, (click, "Preview," if you're not sure).
BIC: *Terragon shruggs, walking in silence for a little longer, before asking,* Is it just me, or can you hear the river up ahead? *She stops and glances back along the path for Ashnel, who seems to be involved in conversation with Regen. War tactics or the like, she guesses, and wrongly.* Ash'? *She shouts back.* Ashnel! *Terragon sighs as he doesn't look up and settles herself down in the middle of the path to wait. We might be here a while.*

*After they had caughten (sp?) up with Baraka and Clearstream, Oakrose sat to wait.* Yes, I can hear it, very faintly. I'm guessing there'll be a lot of fish swimming today, I can hear splashing. Soilrose would know. Moles can feel water rushing and the like through their claws, did you know? Yesterday, I dropped a plate onto a bench accidentally, and it broke. She knew, she felt the vibrations through the floor, and came into the room with her basket and broom. I laughed and then helped her clean it up. *Oakrose replies, only paying attention somewhat. She's looking at Ashnel walking, talking so calmly.*

*Terragon nods slightly.* Uh-huh? *She murmurs, following Oakrose's stare. Hell Gates. At this moment, Ashnel becomes aware that he is being watched by the other two and smiles briefly out of nervousness.* Not a fan of your brother at the moment then, Reg'? *He says and after a little longer finds himself nearing the other four and raises a paw in a greeting and sort-of apology. Because, as he thinks; I just bet Terri's thinking I'm a hypocrite for walking slowly!*

*Oakrose nervously snaps out of her stare, then blushes. Stupid, stupid squirrel! He obviously isn't flirting back, he doesn't like you in that way. Stop it, you spoiled princess!* Er, so when are we going, and which way?

*Ashnel parts with this information gladly.* We're leaving the path and heading right up the river to near a waterfall, b'cause there'll be vermin on the road around this time of year. *His expression becomes a little grim and matter-of-fact.* Late summer and they're coming up from the coast to spend the winter inland. There'll be groups of them banding together to try and get the better of any travelers. Still, *He carries on nonchalantly.* Can't let that deter us. Shall we continue? Swords drawn? *Terragon suggests.* *Ashnel pauses before answering:* No. No, I don't think we'll need to. Just... just be careful, I think.

*The two maids nod. Clearstream readies a sling, as does Oakrose.* We'll be prepared, in advance. I don't like vermin, nasty liddle scum! *Clearstream replies, her face hardening. She had several issues with vermin, personal issues, and she could get revenge. Nothing was going to stop this ottermaid. Nothing.*

*Baraka shrugs.* I have some stuff with me if we get into any real trouble. I wouldn't get too nervous though. It's not like there's an army of vermin every 100 feet. *He smirks at Ashnel.*

*Regen glances over at Clearstream, opens his mouth, and shuts it again. Apparently, he's decided the best thing to do is say nothing.* *Why are we gettin' ready t' fight? There's no enemies in th' area...th' most we're likely t' run into is a patrol from Copperlin, an' only if we get lost.

*Clearstream grits her teeth, remembering a long-passed accident.* Ya never can tell mate, ya never can tell. *She replies throught clenched jaws.*

*Regen breathes out slowly and looks around, then shakes his head.* Ye'd think there was an enemy behind every tree here. *Mossflower Woods is safe enough t' walk around in when it's broad daylight, in a large group like ours, *he says aloud, wondering privately why somebeasts had to be so visibly on guard.* *Really, we're armed t' the teeth, there's seven of us, an' it's th' middle o' th' daytime. Nobeast's gonna go after us right now, unless they're very stupid.

*Clearstream stops suddenly, then turns to look at Regen.* Look 'ere mate, I'm aware o that! I'm just very protective! Clearbrook was poisoned by a vermin we never saw with darts! If there's some o them vermin in the woods, they're gonna go ta 'Ellgates they shoot at this party o woodlanders!

*Baraka snickers to himself as they argue. He then speaks up.* Why don't we wrap this one up and head over to the river and our almost certain doom?

We won't need to do anything! *Ashnel repeats over the voices of Clearstream, Regen and Baraka. Pushing past Terragon, he makes his way off the heavily trodden dust, stone and earth of the path and seems to intend to disappear from sight into the undergrowth to the side of it, but Terragon rolls her eyes at the other few - whether because of anger towards Ashnel or them is unclear - and calls to the dark-furred squirrel to wait. He stops noisily and looks back blankly.* Yeah? *Terragon gives no reply, but Ashnel doesn't attempt to move again.*

*"Calm down, Terragon mouths at him, her back turned to the others. Ashnel shruggs and wanders back to the group restlessly.* Can we go now? *He asks, his voice forced to be quiet and calm.*
