OOC: And I mean the final road!!!
BIC: *Ashnel sits on the rooftop, his footpaws trailing off the edge of the hut as he waits in the dawning light. The squirrel has changed out of the formal clothes from the day before and has replaced it with his normal garments: a midnight-blue tunic and a black cloak. No greens and browns - because, as Ashnel reminds himself - It's not like we're hiding or spying. We just need to walk fast. Not that we're running from anybeast...* *Terragon is also awake. The red squirrel fastens a bronze brooch in the shape of a feather to her long, mid-brown tunic. She looks up, hearing somebeast on the roof above...*

*Ayeny puts on a dark grey summery dress, neither formal nor movement-restricting, and pauses for a moment before grabbing a cloak and pin. She isn't surprised to find Ashnel and Terragon up... Even if they weren't early risers, it's hard to sleep long when something big is about to begin, she thinks as she fastens the cloak and finds her purple tailribbon. As she ties that, she notices she hadn't taken off her pawring the night before... not that it bothers her.*

*Terragon, on the other paw, has removed her paw ring - a slim silver band, set with icey-coloured crystals. The squirrel places it in a draw set into the desk below the window. She locks it and hurries out into the main room.* *In the same moment, Ashnel slips down onto the balcony and clambers over the window seat. He looks up an finds Terragon waiting.* Morning. *The dark squirrel murmurs, his mind elsewhere.*

*Robin is also getting ready in her own way. She checks her quiver and makes sure she has some spare arrows. She belts on her rapiers and, with a gleam in her eye, takes her Sgin Dhu off the floor from where she was sharpening it and places it secretly in her headband. She takes her bow and unstrings it carefully storing the string on one of her belt loops. Then she uses the actual thing as a walking stick. She sighs and ties her cloak around her neck, fastening it with a simple brooch of a leaf. She walks into the main room with a small grin on her face.* Good morning. *She says in general to the room.*

OOC: Robin - I thought you said on the last post that Robin'd left the sgin dhu in her headband-??
BIC: *Ashnel raises a paw in greeting and Terragon attempts to punch her fellow red squirrel lightly on the shoulder; Terragon's formal greeting.* Ayeny - where's Mrs. Windwhiffler? *Ashnel asks after a moment.* Mrs. Windwhiffler doesn't seem t' have a name. *Terragon observes dryly.*

Mrs. Windwhiffler's first name is Florena, although I don't know if she thinks you ought to use it or not, *Ayeny murmurs sourly.* And she's probably somewhere where she can see the door, so she'll know when we're leaving without disturbing us. *She doesn't mention that she's rather disturbed anyway.*

Cheer up, 'Yeny. We can take a secret way out of Terralux, if you like. *Ashnel whispers - enjoying his usage of a dark, conspiring tone.* Which one? *Terragon asks suddenly.* Not the one where you found the treasure, Wood and my note-? No. *Ashnel replies, aware that Ayeny most likely hasn't got a clue about their conversation.* But it links onto it... I think. Seems ages ago, but, those two whole days ago, I checked in the village records after me and 'Yeny found your note. I found a map. It wasn't clear though. But I think we can get out without being seen from the Tavern... *Almost instantly, he realises his plan has already failed.* 'Cept Jesli and Arithil are in the tavern. *As though on cue, both squirrels sigh.*

*Ayeny looks at them with a bit of amusement, finding it very hard to stay sulky around Ash and Terri.* Oh, don't bother, I suppose it's about time I faced my problems anyway. *Their sighs are echoed with hers. After a moment, she looks back at Ashnel, eyelashes lowered.* I appreciate the offer, though.

*Another solution comes about as Jesli barges into the room. Arithil follows, and knocks quietly on the door.* Which idiot forgot to lock the door?! *Ashnel demands, ignoring Jesli.* You can come in, Arithil. *Terragon tells the other red squirrel, before turning indignantly to Ashnel. Paws on hips, she glares at him. Behind the furius gaze, the squirrel is actually trying to stop herself from laughing at her companion's expression (Like a little - big - dibbun being told off!).* The idiot who forgot to lock the door, Ashnel, was you. You were too busy yurbling around the place, embarrasing Elm and Robin. But - *Ashnel begins, only to receive another mock-torrent of angry words.* Back me up here, Ayeny. He was too busy talking to care less about locking the door and - *It's then that Terragon bursts out laughing, unable to contain herself.* 'S not funny. *Ashnel tells her, playing along now.*

Hm... well, you kind of did leave the door unlocked... *muses Ayeny, then adds, trying to be fair,* ...though I suppose anyone could have done it, later. ...Maybe.
*Moving on before Ashnel has a chance to respond, she looks at Jesli curiously (if perhaps a little coldly, as he did just barge in.)* Why're you here? *she asks, a trifle bluntly but with a neutral voice.*

I want t' come t' Noonvale with yer, rememb'r? *The squirrel reminds her. He keeps his tone solid and very nearly emotionless. Arithil lingers in the background, still afraid of Jesli and of intruding upon the others.*

Well, yes, but... *Why are you here, now? Ayeny wonders. And why did you just barge in? And what secrets are you hiding? She does not voice any of these questions, however, and her sentence trails off.*

We should be going. *Ashen tells the other squirrels decisively.* Unless you want to go and find Flor- Mrs. Windwhiffler. *Somehow, the dark squirrel hasn't the courage to use his mother-in-law's first name. Even Terragon doesn't smirk, as she doubts that she's able to address Mrs. Windwhiffler as Florena!*

OOC: Oooh, "mother-in-law" sounds so sinister in your last post.
BIC: Ah- didn't Terragon invite my mother to come with us? *Ayeny asks him.* Because if she did- and I think she did- she'll be coming anyway. Regardless of us finding her or not.

*Robin groans slightly at that.* Sorry not that I've got anything against Flore....Mrs Windwiffler, I just hate travelling with people I don't really know that well. *She looks down at her footpaws in the end hoping she hasn't upset Ayeny. She sighs and tries to brighten up at the thought of seeing Regale again possibly. She grins at this and looks over to Terragon hoping that her good mood lasts.*
