There was a little quest... freeing slaves on an island, subterfuge, political intrigue, battle... *Ayeny's eyes go distant for a few moments before returning to the present.* That was... a little rough. *And not without losses, she adds silently, but can't bring herself to bring it up.* And another battle, by the lake... and a couple of parties, *she adds, more cheerily.* Your usual varied myriad of events.
OOC: It was originally "rollercoaster of events"... then I decided I probably couldn't use that.

Of course... *Aven agrees lightly.* Everything happens right here in Terralux. Adventuring, questing - *He turns and looks up at Ashnel, still at the top of the ladder, behind Robin, as a thought occurs to him.* Hey, Ashnel, did you and Jupiter ever manage to map to far end of the shores...? Around Kynance? *Ashnel grins.* No. But it was worth exploring. The waves were huge a few hours after noon. Jupiter saw a seal in the water, and went out to try and talk to it - but the waves were so big, it knock him flat on his back!
OOC: Kynance is a place in Cornwall, where me and Robin ("Robin and I") plus some friends went last year. The waves are gigantic and we did see a seal there.

*Ayeny grins at the thought of Jupiter being overwhelmed by the wave- though that must have been a mighty big wave. I suppose that's why the sea's so attractive... it's so untamable. Now that she really thinks about it, there isn't much awkwardness between Arven Aven or anyone else here... it's almost like he had never left.*

OOC: Yeah it was really fun!
BIC: *Robin looks down and ssees Arven or Aven down there. She grins and quickly scampers down the ladder as quickly as she can without falling off. She sidles up next closer to the main group and looks over to Aven and thinks back to the last time she saw him.* Hi Ar..Aven, long time no see huh? *Robin grins glad that he's back, sort of. She can see he's changed.*

*Ashnel clambers down the ladder and joins the others. He nods slightly to Aven and smiles. The latter returns the nod and glances at Robin.* Oh, evening, Robin. It's... it's good to see you. All of you. Happy new year. *And in an undertone, he adds to the other four squirrels:* You can still call me Arven... when Hyadillo's not around.

*Robin grins when he says that they can still call him Arven but she can't help but wander what Hydillo's like if she doesn't like him to be called Arven. She shakes her head slightly and nods at Ashnel as he comes down. In the distance she can see a familiar figure though.* Elm! *Without excusing herself she dashes over to the familiar squirrel with a shrew trailing after him.*
*Elm smiles and wraps Robin in a friendly hug as she dashes up. He is glad to see her when ever. He is wearing his normal blue tunic with a faded brown belt and ragged brown trousers. Thrukka is wearing a slightly faded purple dress, just for the party this is obviously only replacing her brown tunic for one night. Yet she manages to pull it off and actuallly looks quite good. Elm grins at Robin.* Hey there. *He lets her go and peers over to the other group.*
*Robin grins.* Hi there yourself, you're late again. *Then she winks and leads him over to the rest of the group, and to Arven.* Arven you know Elm right....or did you never meet. *She hopes they have already met then this may be slightly less awkard.*

In a former life. *Arven assures her. Ashnel shakes his head slightly, as though trying to dislodge a thought, or shake water off himself like a dog. Then the dark squirrel catches sight of the shrew, which Terragon has already noticed. The latter's jaw clenches, and Ashnel, standing close by her, can see a vein below her eye twitching oddly.*
OOC: Wasn't sure about Ash' shaking water like a dog - dogs not being mentioned in Redwall apart from in "Redwall" itself. Plus the vein-twitching thing. Cut a long story short - get me extremely angry - vein twitches just below my left eye.

OOC: It's true Ayney, it's very scary. BIC: *Robin looks at him sidelong, he never usedc to talk like this when she knew him. This is really quite odd, even for him. Even so she pushes Elm forwards nudging him in the back. With her usual grin on her face only slightly sideways.* *Elm gets the message and takes a few shuffles forwards.* Course we did. *He winks at this and extends his paw hoping that he isn't left just standing there like an utter idiot. He smiles slightly nervously.* *Thrukka looks at Elm with almost contempt, letting himself go around liek that. She thinks he's a good creature but a bit of an idiot. The shrew smiles ruefully and looks over to Terragon and notices her face and vein. Thrukka merely nods in return, if she is at all intimidated by this then she isn't going to show it.*

*Arven catches Robin's expression and grins, before turning to Elm and shaking his offered paw.* Nice to see you again, in that case. *Terragon meanwhile looks down at Thrukka, without really meeting the shrew's eyes. Then, finally, the squirrel breathes out, almost sighing as she swallows her pride and breaks the silence between the two.* We need to talk. *Terragon tells Thrukka simply. This can't go on... Ashnel needs to trust Elm. I need to trust Thrukka.*

*Robin grins back at Arven, for a moment she sees the silly little squirrel she once knew who couldn't dance to save his life. She chuckles quietly and as Elm shakes Arven's paw and then withdraws his, she slips hers in place of Arven's. *
*Smiling that casual smile of his Elm looks down as Robin takes his paw, then back to her face. The squirrelmaid winks at him feeling very content with all that has happened.*
*Thrukka looks over to Terragon and notices her swallow.* Yes we do, now. Right now, you start. *The shrew replies almost coldly but this is just her way. She doesn't feel nervous or anxious, she just feels ready.*

*Terragon nods, swallows, and begins.* That weasel... just as the battle started, he pretended to stab at you with a pocket knife. *The squirrel swallows again, then continues, her voice strained.* And you killed him. He went by the name Scruffear, though that wasn't his real name. He lived on his own - but visited Terralux every now and again. *Terragon pauses again, and without knowing for certain why, asks:* If you'd known his name... would you have - have killed him?

*Thrukka looks at sidelong wondering why she should ask such a strange question. Knowing a creature's name doesn't change whether you like or dislike that creature or if they're an enemy or a friend.* I think I still would've, but only because I thought he was attacking me, he startled me in a battleground, yes even if I had known his name. However I'm intrigued what was his real name then? *She truns to face Terragon and waits calmly.*
*Robin and Elm look on, Robin slightly more anxiously than Elm. She hopes that they can sort it all out because not trusting each other in such close quarters would mean an unpleasant time for everyone. She looks over to Ashnel and wonders if he'll ever come to trust Elm. Maybe miracles do happen. She hopes so.*

I - I have to go. *Terragon tells the shrew abruptly, and, swallowing her pride completely in a last attempt to befriend the other adds:* Thrukka. *At this point, Birchy comes charging towards the group and rushes to Ashnel.* You promised a treasure hunt! *He grins, then notices the newcomers, Arven, Hyadillo and the others.* Birchy, this is Arven and Hyadillo. *Ashnel tells the pale-furred squirrel.*

*Thrukka stares after the squirrel in surprise. She was actually interested, then she thinks about what it would be like if this kept happening between them. Sighing she followed Terragon and went up to her slowly. Emotion finally shows up on the surface; awkardness.* Look Terragon, I'm sure we could get along if we tried. No it wouldn't have affected it if I'd known his name, but that is the wrong question to ask. If I'd known he wasn't a foebeast I would never have killed him like that. I hope that this gives you something like peace or such, also I'm......sorry alright. *Then it's her turn to dash off back to the treehouse as fast as she can. She's frowning and fuming she hates having to swallow her pride.*
*Robin watches the other approach and grins at her, she doesn't know but she can guess at what the other did, after all she had asked Elm to have a talk with Thrukka. They seemed to get on well enough both having been slaves and both being creatures of the seas, although she did sometimes feel Thrukka push him away. Robin just assumed that this was because of a small detail that Thrukka would soon come to terms with.*

*Terragon follows Thrukka at a slower pace. She clambers up the ladder into the treehouse and looks the shrew up and down.* It was good of you to say you were sorry. *She tells Thrukka, calmly. Terragon pauses, and, out of the blue, asks:* You ever been a mercenary or a warrior, Thrukka? *No. Walk away. Leave now. Don't even - The squirrel ignores all instincts warning her to back away.*
