*Oakvine nods at Ashnel, shanking his head.* Er yes, erm, sir. *The squirrel puts his paw to his sheathe, making sure his rapier and sling are safely tucked away. He stands up, and walks through the large door. Oakvine hurriedly shuffles along side Terragon, trying to keep her pace.* Tis an ancient, wonderful place, Terragon. Almost as old as the hare that opened the doors. Heheheh-* He is cut off by a stern look from the older hare, and Whispfur shakes his head disapprovingly.* I say, nasty visiotors, eh, wot wot! We let the flippin' group in, and they bally insult me!
*The young teenage squirrel stifles a giggle and continues up the stairway. He looks down at the stairs he had walked up, and a lump in his throat dropps.* Don't wanna fall. *He tells himself as he continues upwards.*
OOC: We'll call the old hare Whispfur.
EDIT: Is that better, Geordie?

OOC: Sure.
BIC: *Terragon stifles a smirk as she soon has to jog to keep up with Ashnel. The dark squirrel manages to stride, seemingly unehaustably (sp?) up the stairs. Behind him, the red squirrel shakes her head. One minute, refusing to breath properly - Next, charging through the mountain! A sudden thought crosses her mind.* Where's tha' little squirrel?! *Terragon calls. Ashnel wheels around, to reveal the dibbun, hiding in the larger creature's shadow. As the latter turns, he walks straight into a solid wall of silver-black fur. Lord Jupiter barely has to look down at the tall squirrel as he laughs.* Starse- I'm mean High Lord Jupiter of the Shores-
*Ashnel is cut off from further speech as Jupiter holds up a paw.* Starsett Jupiter. You know my full title, squirrel. *The other snickers.* And you mine, badger. *Terragon rolls her eyes.*

*Ayeny grins as she watches the exchange, though her eyes fall to the little dibbun, whom she watches musingly.*

*Jupiter notices Ayeny's glance at the little squirrel, and claps his paws togethr with a grin.* A newcomer to these shores, Miss Windwhiffler? Certainly not one of Ashnel's clan. *Ashnel gives a short, false laugh. Mirth doesn't even attempt to touch his features. Starsett Jupiter pretends not to notice.* What's your name, liddle mate? *Asks the badger, crouching down to gain eye contact with the dibbun.*

Ah- yes, and no, *says Ayeny, a bit confused, though her response is more a polite answer, as everyone's attention is on the dibbun anyway. What is his name? Or her, I suppose... strange little dibbun that came from nowhere.*

Ah. *The badger looks up at the red squirrel.* A foundling? *Terragon nods.* Not five hundred pawsteps from the mountain's door, Lord Starsett. *With a smile, Jupiter waves away the formal titles and addresses Ayeny again.* Still, stranger things have happened on these shores. *His eyes linger on Ashnel for a moment. The dark squirrel seems to have already forgotten his grudge, and returns the look before grinning at the other two red squirrels.*

*Ayeny nods faintly, and looks from Jupiter to Ashnel, returning Ashnel's grin but still a bit bemused as to the relationship between the two... and what is Lord Starsett trying to say? she thinks, a slight frown appearing as she thinks.*

*The badger explains as though reading Ayeny's thought.* One does not usually expect to find a badger and a Shadow Clan squirrel stealing Salamandastron's best and largest fishing coracle! *At this, Ashnel snickers guiltily.* It was Jupiter's idea. *He assures Ayeny. Starsett roars with laughter.* My idea?! Hah! And who said we should take the whole fleet?! None other than you, Mister Alashia! *The squirrel dibbun looks up at the two chuckling creatures and shakes his head solemnly, speaking fluently for the first time.* They's a silly beas'... Mes woulda stole' the 'tire mountai'!
O' course y'would! *Terragon agrees.* So would I!
OOC: Starsett Jupiter and Ashnel remind me of "Sirius Black" and "James Potter" from Harry Potter, for some reason!

OOC: I noticed the same resemblance... Two irrepressably likeable pranksters.
*Ayeny looks a bit shocked at Lord Jupiter's comment, for, rather clearly, she hadn't expected it. The look melts into a large grin as the details of their little escapade come out, and she can't help but chuckle as the little dibbun voices some more ambitious ideas.* So... you two were a bit... troublesome growing up?

*Jupiter and Ashnel exchange a signifigant look and snicker, repeating the word in silent incredulance (sp?).* Troublesome?! *The badger finally manages to splutter.* You bet! *He gives the squirrel a playful shove which nearly sends him flying into the wall. Despite Ashnel's height, Starsett Jupiter makes up for it in sheer might, mass and at least seven feet of unyielding bottled-up ferocity. Watching Ashnel recompose himself reminds Terragon of this with a slight shiver.* Anyway - *Continues the other squirrel, with an attempt at dignity.* Any idea where it could have come from, Jupiter? *The badger shruggs.* No idea. You can search the old records, but I warn you: the hares that work in those archives are pretty batty! *He pauses, before adding.* Oh, and please don't tell them I said that!

*Ayeny eyes the two amusedly, making a note to watch out for unsuspecting 'troublesome-ness' - just in case.*
I'm sure all the hares in this mountain would love to know exactly what their lord thinks of them, *Ayeny teases, before blushing and adding seriously,* Thank you, Lord Starsett, *with a little, jerky bow.*

You got a name? *Asks Ashnel, pretending to not care about the dibbun's answer. It shruggs.* Me's Pepinote Birchgrub Rolywave Mercury Silveruss. Ye gods! *The larger squirrel gasps.* What genius named y'tha'?! Me's Birchy Rolywave too. *Admits the little squirrel.* That I can cope with. *Ashnel murmurs, as Jupiter attempts to squeeze past the small crowd on the stairs.*
What's your name? *Birchy inquires, blatantly. Ashnel frowns, not having expected the question to be turned back to himself.* Ashnel. *He says, very simply.* Yay! Ashy! Can I call y'Ashy?! *The dibbun roars, squeakily, swinging on Ashnel's paw.*
Absolutely not. *Ashnel retorts, as Terragon moves to let the others past and the descent to the archives begins.* "Ashy?!"

Birchy Rolywave, *Ayeny murmurs to no-beast, barely audible and ignoring the Pepinote what?! resounding in her head. This gives way to a sudden wave of absolute hilarity at Birchy's (Pepinote's) excited new nickname for the large, dark squirrel.*
Ashy? Please do, *Ayeny says quietly, just managing to contain her laughter. Just. She has a feeling that if anyone can get away with calling Ashnel 'Ashy', it would be the squirrel hanging from his paw.*

*Terragon gives Ayeny a look that suggests that she doubts if Ashnel would mind being called "Ashy" by Ayeny. She voices this, to a torrent of dulled-down abuse.* Toad-paws. *He annouces, sullenly, with the regret of not being able to say more in Birchy's presence.*

Aw, I can call you 'Ashy' if you want, *Ayeny says, half-serious, laughing at Ashnel's watered-down insults as she carefully continues down the stairs.* Unless Birchy claims it as his and his alone. D'you mind, Birchy?
