Taggle's a nice name. *The red squirrel informs the mouse with a grin.* I'm Terragon Canopy. But ev'rybeast calls me Terri or Terra. Terragon. *Ashnel mutters distractedly.* Oh, right... *Terragon gets back to her original point.* It's late, and instead of you staying the night in the Tavern, how about you come back to Starsett Hollow House with me and Ash?

*Taggle thought about this for a moment.* "okay..." * he mumbled sleepily, yawning, his small mouth stretching as far as it would go. * " wot kinda house is it?" *he asked, always curious. There was never a moment he wasn't.*

*Terragon reaches out to take the mouse's paw, and nods at Ashnel to lead the way.* It's a big house, *The red squirrel is telling Taggle.* And it's built into an old oak tree, so it's a long way off the ground... you have to climb a rope ladder to reach it. *Ashnel passes the Tavern door to Terragon, who is still trying to lead Taggle along.*

" wow... who builded it?" * the mousebabe asked sleepily, allowing himself to be lead along. Once the tavern door opened, it woke him up a little, as the cold winds hit his face with a vengeance.*

OOC: Advancing quest to Starsett Hollow House.
BIC: *Ashnel unlocks the front door, and with his free paw, lifts the latch and pushes it open with his footpaw. Terragon follows, and the taller squirrel surveys the main room of the treehouse. Thank the Guiding Stars that Terragon tidied the place up. I wouldn't've remembered to... though I bet Ayeny would've, Ashnel's mind adds darkly.* What d'you think, then? *Terragon asks Taggle, barely suppressing a yawn.*

" 's nice...." *he said, half awed, and only half awake. His deep blue eyes took everyhitng in. Taggle had never seen an actual treehouse before. The wallks looked natural, made of the tree. Sturdy. Gebtly, the house swayed from the winds. Not dangerously, but just enough to lull one to sleep. The house was for the most point clean. He windered one thing though. Why was it called Starsett hollow?*

*Ashnel heads off in the direction of his room, calling back a muffled -* G'night. *- to Terragon and Taggle. The red squirrel glances down at the latter and points to a door along the hallway.* That's my room, alright? I'll sleep here t'night, and you can sleep there? I'll get Ashnel to organise something more permanent in the morning. *And with this, Terragon snatches a hammock from a high overhead cupboard that's filled with ropes, lanterns, maps and parchment. The leaderess stretches up to tie the hammock to the beams, and pulls herself up into the string nest.* Just shout if you need a paw, or anything. *Terragon mutters to Taggle, leaving the tiny dibbun to make his own way off to bed. I'm sure he can cope, if he's manage to survive the snow fall...*

Taggle walked slowly down to the door she had indicated. Inside was a small, homely room. The dibbun tried to close the door, but it was to heavy for him so he let it be. After a good five minutes, he finally managed to clamber up onto the bed, which was bigger than he was. He laid down, and fished around in his tunic for something. A small, red stone. He gazed at it, exploring its crevices and valleys until he finally fell asleep, still holding it in his small paws. In his sleep, he began to gently snore.

OOC: Advancing quest.
BIC: *Terragon wakes up slowly, and stretches, only to nearly fall out of the hammock. Cursing quietly, the squirrel yawns and jumps neatly to the floor, stubbing her toe in the same moment. Start the day how you wish t' continue, Terri, she tells herself. Why was I in the hammock anyway? Then she remembers finding the mouse dibbun, Taggle, the night before. Terragon bites her lip, worried that she may have woken him. It must be very early. Even Ashnel is not up yet. Terragon has nothing to do, and if she stays in Starsett Hollow House, she'll no doubt wake the others. So, the leaderess prepares to leave to go for a walk.*

" where you goink?" *Taggle asks sleepily, walking down the hallway while rubbing the sleep out of his eyes with a small paw. He was an extremly light sleeper. It was a wonder that he managed to get down from the bed, which was several times taller than he was. Despite the early morning, the house was somewhat warm.*

For a walk. *Terragon tells him, in a hushed voice. She glances at the door to Ashnel's room... the other was sleeping remarkably heavily.* D'you want to come?

"Okay!" * the mousebabe says excitedly, following her. He hadn't seen much of the village yet, or its inhabitants.*

OOC: Your message should've been like this -
Okay. *The mousebabe says excitedly, following her. He hadn't seen much of the village yet, or its inhabitants.*
BIC: *Terragon closes the front door of Starsett Hollow gently behind Taggle, and descends to the clearing below first - If Taggle falls, then I may be able to catch him, she reasons.* *Below in the clearing, the morning dew still dampens the ground. Terragon didn't change out of her dark blue tunic and black trousers last night, but she did remove her shoes before sleeping, so now her bare paws are soaked by the dew. This however, does not concern the squirrel, especially as from the moment she looks around the clearing, there is something else on her mind.* Joey! Talis! *The leaderess cries, forgetting to be silent for fear of waking the others. For her friends' little gypsy caravan is gone, and all that shows it was ever there, is the remains of a campfire from the night before.*

((oh.woops. i was trained to use question marks..0_o...))
*Taggle descends slowly, falling the last couple of feet. He gets up, unhurt.* Who's Joey? *The mousebabe asks, coming to stand beside her. He stares at the remnants of the campfire, and the deep wheel tracks.*

*Terragon pauses, and when she does reply, her voice is slow and almost strained.* A very... very, good friend... who appears to have... left the village. With Talis. *The squirrel sounds suddenly very surprise, and for a moment, finds the whole incident so impossible, that she laughs.* Come on, Taggle - I'll show you the rest of the village.
OOC: Basically, as Terragon will explain later, Joey is from the Jerbilrat Clan and Talis is a fox. Terri, Joey and Talis are great friends, but the other two have left the village to go South, because they always said they would (will leave the reason why as mysterious, slightly annoying, badly written, suspence).
