Bath Time

Flicktail enters into the great hall looking contented and quiet as he descends, carrying Luna, his young daughter in his arms.

Oz looks up as Flicktail enters and nods. "Greetings Flicktail,how are you doing today?"

Flicktail smiles "Hello Oz, wot be this all the Dibbuns be callin ya Pappa Badja"

Luna turns to look at the voice and smiles toothlessly and shouts "OZ!"

Oz chuckles "I know, I dont mind..probally because I been helping out with them so much lately, teaching them letters and numbers, even helped with bath time last night."

Flicktail exclaims, "ohh no omner ye be so clean and teh dibbus a bit dingy, they usually get more wather on the washer then em selves"

Luna struggles whimpering her arms out to Oz "Oz!""

Oz smiles at Luna, he answers Flicktail "Sometimes you can get them to take a bath easily and sometimes not, promise of a story afterwards worked last night"

Flicktail nods as Luna begins to cry, struggling to get out of her father's paws and get to Oz "Waaaaa Wan OZ!" as Flicktail says "Shhh Luna Oz can't always be catering to ya"

Asher enters the hall and scurries under one of the tables, ignoring the other beast.

Primrose isn't far behind at all, tracking her friend sneakily. She creeps toward the same table.

Oz smiles again,"So been doing ok lately Flicky"

Asher grins and looks out at the others in the hall, "So what's the plan, ya got a plan?"

Flicktail sets Luna down, she is much younger then Asher, and see's him...and begins to crawl toward him saying curiously "Oz?" as Flicky smiles and hands Oz a cool ale "Oi been doin ok.....just been worried about tha beast Flowerbud, oi loikes er but oi think she don't loikes us much"

Primrose nods quickly. "We gets bikkits. Growed ups put bikkits an' sconeses onna tables when 'ave yuck tea. You pushes chair anna I climbs it."

Oz nods,he shakes his head at the ale and hmmms "Maybe just talk to her some, Is she new to the abbey?"

Asher grunts in agreement, "Aye, " He eyes Luna, "Hmm, well then lets get to it!"

Flicktail nods "aye she be new...nice ol squirrel..oi loikes er" Luna eyes Asher...and crawls after him OZ!" she says following him giggling as she tries tokeep up with the badjer and the Vole.

Primrose peers at the younger fox and puts a finger to her lips. "We's go aftah bikkits." She points at a nearby chair for Asher's benefit. "Dat one.

Oz looks over at the dibbuns a moment and back to Flicktail, "May just need time to get use to the abbey prehaps..maybe after a few days she will feel more willing to talk to beasts"

Flicktail nods "oi hop so" Luna seems to understand...she smiles and follows Primerose quietly.

Asher grumbles and shakes his head, "I ain't Oz, Ash, " He tries to ignore the fox and moves to pull out a chair, "Dat fox be attracting too much attention."

Primrose watches the badger pull out the chair and nods slightly. "I shushes her." She replies, turning back to Luna and putting her finger to her lips again. "No geddin' us's in troubles."

Asher hmphs, eyes Luna again but gestures to Primrose, "Get up there then before she does."

Luna smiles and moves quiet now, her ears perked

Primrose starts to try and clamber up onto the chair... however, she's still a little too short to get up all the way. Her little legs pedal the air as she hops frustrated. "Needs pushes!" She whispers, a little loudly.

Luna doesn't understand and watched

Flicktail smiles to Oz "ya like teh dibbuns don't ya"

Oz nods and leaves for a couple moments leaveing the dibbuns with Flicktail.

Asher climbs the chair a bit and pushes at Primrose's rump with his strong if dibbunish arm.

Luna immitates Asher, looking at Asher.

Primrose squeaks as she nearly topples over the chair and off the other side, but luckily, if wobbly, she stays on. "She know you's called!" The vole whispers at the badger, perhaps worried about the fox tattling.

Asher almost falls off the chair, grunts at Luna but decides to be nice after getting off the chair, "Aye, I'm Ash and who might ya be?" He turns to watch Primrose's progress before turning back to Luna, "Ya wouldn't tattle would ya?"

Luna smiles, and hears Ash's question..but perhaps doesn't understand as she whispers back "Ash"

Primrose frowns. Whether the fox tattles or not, she's close to her goal. Letting Ash deal with Luna for the moment, the tiny food thief starts to clamber onto the table, reaching across for a plate of simple oat scones; complete with a little tiny pot of messy looking preserve. She starts to drag it toward her chair.

Asher sushes Luna, "Yes, I'm Ash, who you be?" He smiles, though continue to turn back to watch Primrose now and then.

Luna whispers back "ash"

Oz comes back into the room as he was getting something,he sees the dibbuns and sits down the paper and walks over to them, "Hello..whats going on here?"

Luna pushes against Oz's foot paw "no look..no look!"

Primrose squeaks as an adult badger approaches mid-heist! She gives a sharp tug on the plate which sends the scones and small pot of jam messily to the floor! "Gets bikkits!" She pipes to Ash, panicked.

Oz blinks,he looks to where ash is and sighs,he goes to make sure the vole doesnt fall, the mess can get cleaned up a little later.."If you want a snack all you need to do is ask young one,not climb up on things thats dangerous."

Jake starts to come down the stairs and then stops,he stays where he is and just watches from the steps.

Luna wiggles over and gets a scone, she has it but now shelooks to Primrose, what to DO with it?

Asher grabs the other "bikkits" and scurries under the table, eyeing Oz suspicously, "He's gots ya!" He blinks, turns back to Luna, "Eats it!"

Luna looks at the scone and begins gumming it.

Oz looks to Asher and Luna and back to Asher "Full of energy arnt you"

Asher points at Primrose, "She's the trouble maker!"

Luna points to oz as she gums the scone and says "Ash!

Jake shakes his head and goes to quickly pass threw the room, away from dibbuns, to get to the entry.

Primrose panics and squirms as Oz stops her from falling. She'd like to run away now, in case of trouble. On being told to ask for snacks though, she stops and tries weasling her way out of trouble. "I's sowwy, down p'ease?"

Luna swats at one of Oz's toes and shouts "Down! pimoze!

Oz frowns at Ash and Primerose "You both need to be carefull, and when want a snack, ask and maybe it it isnt too close to dinner your get one, hmmms I think right now you can clean up the mess you both made."

Luna is already cleaning up..licking at the sweet jam on the floor .

Oz stops luna "Not quite like that." He gets a couple wash cloths,soap and water and hands them to the other dibbuns "This works.."

Jake shakes his head "Dibbuns"

Jake heads outside and into the Abbey Entry

Asher has gathered up the other "bikkits" and stuffs as much in his mouth as possible with fear that Oz will stop him. Glaring at the "grownie".

Oz watches Jake as he leaves and raises an eyebrow at the hare.

"Luna is getting the hang of all this as she says "Ash..bikkits...pmoze...! "

Primrose shakes her head. She points at Luna. "She do'n clean!" She frowns as Oz tries to give her a cloth. The vole looks at it, gets it wet... and then throws it as Asher before diving on a 'bikkit' herself. "No!"

Flicktail chuckles his eyes alight with mirth watching the Badger getting pinned by 3 dibbuns.

Asher doesn't seem to mind the cloth as it lands on his head, still munching at the pastries and pushing a pile of what remanis towards Primrose as she dives towards it. He now has filling all over his cheeks, and burps after eating his fill while still wearing the wash cloth on his head.

Oz clears his thoat,he now takes the biscuts away,least ones not in mouths and comes back, "Cleaning can be fun..and after we clean up, bath time" He stays calm but is a little strean on the cleaning up the room part.

Flicktail asks, "Ya need some elp oz?"

Luna movesover to begin licking at the Jam on Asher's face,hertongue soft and slippery.

Primrose guards her pile, not being at all ladylike in her devouring of treats. Any she can save from the badger are gummed, chomped and munched as quickly as she can manage. She looks frightful at the threat of clean up and bath and stares toward the other dibbuns. "We hides!"

Oz chuckles "If you want to help,your welcome too.". He looks to the dibbuns.

Asher chuckles and laughs as Luna does, not seeming to pay Oz any mind until Primrose pipes up, "Hides! No baths, no clean!"

Flicktail moves to pick up Asher, a waiting tub of warm sudsy water already being brought in .

Oz smiles he goes to get Primerose and luna if able to.

Primrose has no intention of going near the water for a bath... She looks toward the chairs, nicely lined up with the tables! A perfect hiding tunnel! Tiny legs flail to carry her amid the chair legs, hiding under the seats. "No no no no!"

The "grownies are closing in," with threat of bathing, ick, and cleaning! Asher promply dives between Flicktail's legs and past him, and then underneath another table.

Luna likes baths as she just sits looking quite sticky.

Flicktail's tail wufts at Asher, the fox is quick spinning to try and catch a footpaw.

Oz holds luna and sighs as Primerose dives away,he does want to drop luna so he decides to go ahead and give her...her bath.

Asher is too quick, and underneath a table now with the chairs between him and Flicktail. He waits, hoping he got away.

Flicktail sneaks around keeping the table skirt from shoing his footpaws and darts in to gently grab asher from behind

Luna giggles and splashes in the water

Oz chuckles and carefully gives luna her bath,he looks towards the other dibbuns a moment and back to luna "Your having fun huh?"

Asher is looking the other way, doesn't expect it and barks as he struggles to get free. Trying to bite, claw and anything else he can do but in vain. So eventually he relaxes, grumbling and glaring at the fox, "Ain't want no bath, ain't need no bath!"

Primrose darts from under the chairs to under the table to meet up with Asher. She squeaks as she sees him dragged out. "Bye Ashes!" She then moves backward, back toward the chairs.

Flicktail says, "well then we won't give ya a bath we just gives ya a moppin" putting the dibbun in the warm watter and beginning to soap the fur, careful not to get it in teh eye

Luna giggles and laughs splashing water everywhere

Oz looks over at the vole,one of them will have to try and get her, he finishes up the bsth for luna and gets a towel to dry her,he chuckles "We will have to mop the floor soon looks like"

Asher grumbles, especially as Luna splashes water and splashes back, "Save ya'self!" He calls out to his friend.

Oz chuckles, he drys Luna off and looks over at the vole maid"You ready for your bath now?"

Flicktail rinses Asher, and begins ta dry him...having a nice clean tunic laid out for him "the more ye gets dirty th more ya gets baffs "

Asher hmphs, slipping on the tunic, "Ain't need no baths, ever, ya just evil grownies to give them to us!"

Flicktail finishes drying and dressing Asher, and then hands off the Dibbun to a mous as he collects teh squeeky clean Luna "come on little one..nape time"

Primrose hides under the table still. "Noo!" She calls back at Oz. "Ya wet?" She asks Asher, concerned.

Asher scurries under the table where Primrose is as soon as Flicktail removes his paws from him, shakes his head, "Nah, is dry now... was bathed, " He grumbles, making a face.

Oz smiles and goes to get Primerose.

Primrose pokes her head out and sees Oz coming. "Big you is comin'" She tells Asher, with a giggle.

Asher grins at Primrose, "I's take care of him, " He moves out from under the table and moves to cut him off.

Oz reaches for the volemaid, "Come on baths are fun"

Asher tries to grab for Oz's leg to pull him away from Primrose, "Leave her alones!"

Primrose squeaks, flails, and tries to bite at Oz's paw, even as she's grabbed.

Oz holds on to Primrose and heads over to a washtub with soap and water, "This will be...whoa there asher...eeep" He gets a good hold on Primerose as he finds a slippary wet spot on the floor and slides acrosss the floor,he keepos the dibbun safe as he slides and crashes into the tub himself,he coughs a little and is now soaked,he looks at the volemaid who should be safe but still probally dry too.

Unable to stop the larger badger, Asher watches as Oz slip and fall into the tub while carrying Primrose.

Silver laugh's."The dibbon's giveing you a bath oz?"

Primrose squeaks happily! She's riding a badger! And she's still, mostly, dry! "AGAIN! N' BAFF!" She sounds highly delighted with the outcome.

Asher laughs, watching Oz and Primrose, "Escape!"

Oz looks over at Silver and chuckles"I slipped" He looks at Primerose and chuckles.He slowly stands and goes to at least clean Primerose some, he is going to need dry clothing now and get an outfit for primerose, luckly a mousemaid comes in with one,being carefuill of all the water on the floor.

Primrose wriggles. And frowns at Asher as if to say 'you tried escaping from an adult badger's grip?' Still, she does try, repeating "Escapes!" At a bit of a yell.

Oz manages to get primrose nearly clean,dryed off and into a clean outfit,he sits her down now and looks athimself and chuckles.

Silver laugh's and nod's his head."Well look's like the dibbon's are trying to escape!"

Oz smiles"They got baths though" a mousemaid comes in to mop and another takes away the tubs with some help from an otter.

Primrose frowns. "Dun like clean." She mutters, and looks over at Asher. "We goes pway wid snow whens growed ups not lookin'..."

Asher smiles at Primrose, "Okay, " He eyes the grownies, not wanting to be grabbed again. They might bathe him again, just out of spite! Evil grownies and their baths.

Oz leaves to get a change of dry clothing and returns soon afterwards and sits in his fave chair "So how have you been Silver?"
