The floor is wooden and a large fireplace keeps the room warm in those cold months.Above the fireplace is a large painting of the Chieftain and his mate.In the room also is a table and a few chairs to sit in.A large bookcase is by a far wall with many books of all kinds on it.

Scioto the cat. Blisa the cat and Ferdinand the ferret.

Scioto is resting on the large chair. Right now asleep but he is never too deeply alseep.

Blisa comes tip-toe-ing out of the kitchen, not wanting to wake her father. She is carrying a tray with tea things on it, and she sets it gently down on the table. Ferdinand is polishing his sabre by the fire, his face calm. Basilisk is nowhere to be seen, having secluded himself in the basement for the day.

Scioto opens his good eye and looks at Blisa and smiles, "Is it morning now or...afternoon?" He slowly sits up now.

Blisa smiles in return. "Afternoon. How do you feel?" She asks as she pours tea for the 3 of them.

Scioto answers after some silence "I am feeling ok. I need to discuss something with you that's important"

Ferdinand raises his eyebrows and looks up from his sabre. "Do you want me to let you thpeak privately?" Blisa sits down and holds her tea in her lap, her soft green eyes wide. "Ok..."

Scioto looks over at Ferdinard, "Umm...well it could involve you as well Ferdinard so you may stay and listen as you do live here also." He is quiet as if unsure how to go about it and takes a deep breath, "I am thinking of inviting someone to..to stay here. But I did not want to suddenly have a guest here and upset you."

Ferdinand nods and goes back to polishing his sword. He and Blisa listen politely, then he says, "Ath long ath it'th not another thnake or my father, I bathically don't care." The young cat sets her tea on the table, smiling slightly. "Thanks for thinking of me, Dad. Who are you thinking of inviting?"

Scioto looks at Blisa and then speaks, "Astra..." He says. "I..." He starts, oh how hard can it be, he got the words out once finally but still missed the reply Astra gave, he did pass out after all. "I have found out some things she has told me, why she was away and what happen. Even got proof in the tavern and later the path outside the village, or was it the woods?"

All the colour drains from Blisa's ears, and Ferdinand scoots a little bit away from her. "Astra?" She whispers, then stands in an agitated fashion and starts pacing. "But....how could you want her here? She left us and didn't say good-bye or anything! Why should we...why should I want her in my house?!" The ferret decides to sheath his sword and put it on his belt.

Scioto frowns at this reply, "She lost her clan. I saw her brother die in the tavern. The beast who did it also tried to kill me and leave me to..basically die in the woods. If not for Astra I.." He shakes his head "I would of died. Also I..I love her."

Ferdinand scoots forward in his chair a little as Blisa goes speechless for a couple of moments. The, after a few stuttered attempts, she manages to get out, "Who's this creep, and where is he?! And that doesn't excuse what Astra did! And what do you mean she lost her clan?"

Scioto answers, "This...Frostbite ferret, he killed them and was after her and her brother. They...all died." He sips his tea before answer again, "The guards found Frostbite dead with an arrow in his chest and signs of a 2nd arrow. I think Astra found him when she thought I was going to die too."

Blisa is refusing to admit that this argument is making her soften towards Astra a little. "Well, I'm glad he's dead. But you still haven't told me what you mean by Astra losing her clan."

Scioto repeats himself "Meaning her whole clan, which was told was small, was all killed by Frostbite...poisoned and a couple were killed with other weapons. Her brother Cliff died of a stab wound to the back from a dagger in the tavern. She is the only one left alive of her clan, its why she left in the first place she said to not cause harm to others...but when most died she and Cliff came back here and guess Frostbite followed." Scioto says, "Me and Astra talked by the pond last night, a...long talk of many things"

Ferdinand says, "He did thay that." Blisa scowls at her bodyguard, then scuffs at the floor with a foot as she stares at her tea. "But why didn't she explain all this before she left in the first place?"

Scioto shrugs "I...do not know, I do know I forgive her and I love her and.." He stops "I...want her to stay with us, maybe you and her can talk and you can forgive her as well."

Blisa starts to gently kick the table leg over and over again. "Have you told her about Basilisk?" Ferdinand gives the Chieftain a look. "Yeth, Mith Athtra might not be comfortable thleeping in a houthe with a thnake in the bathement."

Scioto says, "no ..I did not think to mention him"

Ferdinand covers his eyes with a paw. Blisa sniffs, then looks up at her father. "Well...if she's ok with sleeping in a house with a snake, then...I geuss she can stay here."

Scioto smiles and hugs Blisa."Thank you"

Blisa shrugs in an infuriating manner as she hugs her father back. "Just be sure to mention Basil. Astra ought to have all the facts before she makes a decision."
