*Robin watches the door carefully waiting for Terragon and Mrs Windwiffler to arrive. She feels herself close up as she does normally around strangers, or people or when she's waiting for them to arrive she hardly knows. Carefully she reminds herself in her head. Now be nice, this Ayeny's mother she can't be bad. I hope. Stop it! And so the argument continues silently. She smiles slightly at herself and waits for Terragon to reappear.*

OOC: What annoyed me about your post, Robin, was that your character was in the treehouse and somehow ended up on the ground with Florena. Then you said your character was wondering where Terragon was. In a role-play exercise (yes, a new course is being planned for the Xmas holidays), you wouldn't pass with the score you deserve.
BIC: So - *Ashnel glances about, impatient to be on the road.* - I think we should be going now, if ev'rybeast is quite ready. Terragon, Mrs. Windwhiffler-? *The first of the pair nods very slightly.* I'm ready. *She tells the other, darker, squirrel quietly; then, as an afterthought, adds:* How long will it take us t' get to Noonvale, Ash? At the rate we're going, more than a week. But, *Ashnel continues bravely as Terragon raises her voice to protest.* If we're clever on how we trav'l, then we could be there in, say, two night and perhaps half a day more-?

OOC: Sorry I thought she'd just come into the treehouse and you were still on the ground. I just got confused as normal. Sorry I've modified it so I'm still in the treehouse waiting to be told or whatever you have planned next.
BIC *Robin gets up from where she was sitting and begins to pace around the room since she has nothing more to do. She hates this it get her all worked up she just wants to be off and on the road again. She doesn't like all this waiting around and just sitting here. She finally goes over to the door and leans against one side of the doorframe waiting for Terragon to get back or at least shout up to her what to do.*

OOC: No... I don't think she'd entered the the treehouse, I think she was just looking at it. D'you intend to edit your post, Robin? BIC: *Ashnel looks around, a little edgey in the silence following his comment on the journey. Finally, he glances up at the treehouse.* Rob'n, c'mon! We need to leave now! Leave her alone, *Terragon murmurs.* It was a late night yest'rday. You can't blame her. Can and will. *Ashnel answers, though not quite in an unjoking voice.*

*Ayeny scowls and then promptly swallows the remark she was going to make. I hate this, she thinks, not referring to waiting for Robin. It's like tip-pawing on hollow nutshells. If she had been looking at her mother, and if Florena had been looking at her, they would have noticed the awkward game of not-trying-to-look-at-the-other going on between them. As it is, they do not.*

OOC: I did!
BIC: *Robin nearly jumps out of her fur at Ashnel's shout. She glares down at him and now wishes she has invited Elm. For all the taunts she would've recieved at least he made her feel more relaxed. She swings herself onto the ladder and slides down it as fast as she dares. She slows herself though when she reaches the bottom and drops calmly onto the floor. Then she trips up and lands on her face. She gets up quickly feeling even more stupid and now blushing aswell.* Sorry I didn't know where you all went. *She mutters sullenly and wanders over to Terragon in the silent group.*

*Ashnel rolls his eyes and turns to Terragon.* Barn owls... *He mutters.* What?! *The other asks increduously.* Barn owls don't shut doors behind themselves either. *The male squirrel growls. The red shruggs.* Josephine and Mela'll be there while we're gone, I expect. It doesn't matter. Nobeast'll break in. Besides, we should've been on the road an age ago. C'mon. *With that, Terragon recovers her bag from inside the tent that used to belong to Arven and sets off without waiting to see if the others are coming.*

*Although their banter usually doesn't bother her, Ayeny feels peculiarly aggravated by Ashnel and Terragon for some reason. She dislikes this disliking immensely, but it's hard to tell from the outside, as she keeps it to herself and sulks (which she has probably been doing for the whole morning...)*

OOC: Advancing Quest.
BIC: *Two evenings later, and a forest looms up ahead.* This is it - *Ashnel tells the others, or perhaps just himself.* - Noonvale's in that forest. You're talking as though everything ends in Noonvale, Ash'. *Terragon says, laughing slightly and almost nervously waiting for an answer.* P'rhaps it does. *The darker squirrel replies gently; then, in an undertone, when he is certain that nobeast is listening, he adds.* Lucabell-?! What were you thinking?! I'm meant not to return! *Terragon snaps, perhaps a little too loudly, for Ashnel casts a nervous glance at the others and slows his pace so that they can overtake him and the red squirrel.* I know that. *Ashnel mutters impatiently.* But you don't seriously think that- I don't know what I think, Ash'. *Terragon interrupts.* Noonvale... I think you're right. Maybe ev'rything does end in Noonvale! *The other's response only aggravates the red squirrel further.* We'll see.

*Robin walks along still slightly sore about twon nights ago but it's not like her too hold a grudge and soon her curiousity gets the better of her makes her look around. She peers into the forest and becomes oblivious to all else. A small grin spreads across her face as her mind goes over all she has heard of Noonvale. It was supposedly a magical place where peace always reined but that was just a legend and an ancient one at that. Even so... and within dwealt her parent who she hadn't seen in so long. She couldn't wait to see them again as long as they weren't too judgemental. She really hoped.*

*Up ahead, Ashnel spots somebeast and is about to say something when Terragon lets out a whoop of excitement and charges off without him.* Regale! *The other looks up and allows Terragon to run forwards and half-hug, half-tackle him.* Nice t' see yer, Terri. *He murmurs, his voice so like Terragon's, but deeper and stronger. In fact, Regale looks almost identical to the twins - standing perhaps a few heads taller, with Robin's eyes and Terragon's faint grin.* Robin, *His sister calls.* C'mon!

*Robin has been standing in shock ever since she spotted him. She always got on well with Regale and hasn't seen him in ages. Her face was simply blank for about a minute, then her ususal grin spread across it. Robin ran forward at full speed with the intention of joining her sister in emabarresingly hugging Regale. Acting like a dibbun as always a little voice in her head says to her, but it's laughing along with her this time. When she has come up to her siblings and hopefully hugging him is when she finally speaks again.* Hi Regale. *She mutters but she hopes he knows just how happy she is to see them.*

*Regale raises a paw in greeting.* Ev'ning. *He murmurs. Then Terragon speaks.* Regale... what's that on your arm? *The other glances at the deep cut and shruggs as though it is nothing more than a scratch.* I was helping out in the forge. *He replies. Terragon swears her brother doesn't meet her eye as he answers.*

*Robin stares at her brother's arm and his cut. It looks too deep for an accidental cut. She hopes that it was but she doubts it. Her grin slowly fades as she thinks of the grimmer other options that could have caused that cut on his arm. She looks up to see his face and tries to meet his eyes half hoping he doesn't because then at leasts her doubts could grow.*

*Regale grins at Robin, trying to break her doubtful look. He notices Ashnel, now waiting awkwardly at a distance, and his grin broadens.* Come on, Robin, Terri - Ash' is waiting. They're going t' be so pleased t' see you lot! *For the moment, Regale does not enquire after Ayeny and her mother, or why they are there and what they intend to do there. Ashnel can explain that later, he decides and leads the way through the trees to the edge of the valley. Glancing back, the red squirrel pauses, waiting for the others. Terragon comes first and Regale puts his arm around her. To his surprise, the other nearly flinches away as she feels the wound close to her own skin.*
