Caught with Muffins

From Redwall MUCK Wiki


This is from a few days ago. It is of no real importance, and rather short, but it was fun, so I figured I would log it! :)

Flicktail is sitting rocking quietly gently cradling his arm.. a soft whimper from him

Shandar drags herself into Cavern Hole from the Kitchen, a warm muffin held in her paw and a bag of crackers in her other paw. As she walks in, the muffin rapidly disappears, all her attention focused on her chow. She has spent all day outside practicing and exercising, and all she had was water and some porridge when she got up, before dawn. So she is tired and very, very hungry. She hears the whimper and her head shoots up. "Aw, Flicktail! Whats wrong?" She comes over, dumping the remaining crumbs from her paw into her mouth.

Flicktail smiles to her gently "Arm hurts and I am lonley.....

Shandar makes a sad face, then sweeps her arms out, encompassing in the motion the room. "You cant possibly be lonely! You are in an abbeyful of beasts! Are you looking for someone specific?" She digs a cracker from her little bag, then holds it out to the fox. "Have one! Ahndi made them. She is becoming a really good cook."

Flicktail nod nods and gives her big sad eyes "I'm lonely...fer you...." he smiles

Shandar giggles, pulling out another cracker and holding it up. "Take it! It will help make the lonely go away." She comes all the way around to the front of the chair and sits on the ground in front of Flicktail. "And dont be lonely anymore! Im right here!" She grins.

Flicktail smiles and takes teh craker "how are your lessons...You know I love you Shandar

Flicktail asks, "do you knwo hpow to play jacks?"

Shandar nods. "Good! I spent all day outside practicing. Ahndi came out at one point, too. And Feather helped." She lies on the floor, spread-eagled, and groans dramatically. "I'm soooo sore. What? Jacks? No."

Flicktail bingsout a wooden ball and some blunt metal caltrops "it helps with yer practicing and won't make ya sor..wanna learn?

Shandar sits up, looking at the pieces with interest. "It'll help? Reallly? How? Teach me." Anything that wont make her sore is welcome, at this point. Tomorrow, Ahndia is going to have to dump ice water over her head to make her get up.

Flicktail says, "well first you drop these Jacks" he drosp them "and then you bounce teh ball and pick up one" he shows her 'thats called "oncies" after you pick up all ten, you go to twosies" picking up 2 at a time before the ball bounces again...then Thresies, and foursies... see how far you can get"

Shandar screws up her face, wrinkling her wet nose and drawing her eyebrows together above her narrowed eyes. "How does this help me train?" An epiphany moment! She jumps up, grinning again. "Ohohohoh! Reflexes?"

Flicktail says, "aye and fun too..i can fo fivesies"

"Really?! How do you fit them all in your paw?" She looks at Flicktails paw, incredulous, almost as if for the first time. "Aw. Cause you have a big paw. Mine are tiny!" She holds them up for him to see. Then her determination kicks in. "Im gonna get sixies someday! Then Ill beat you!"

Flicktail chuckles "I bet you will" he sits on teh floor with her "I am so proud o you

This gets another really?! from Shandar as she eats a cracker. "Thanks Flick. I-" She gets cut off as Ahndia storms in. She stands in the doorway between the kitchen and Cavern Hole, apron flour-y, spoon pointed accusingly at Shandar. She shouts. "Shandar! You took an entire tray of muffins! I know it was you!" Shandar jumps at the shout and stands, a robber caught in the crime. "Yeah, yeah. Ok. I know- you want me to come in and make more with you. Coming. Sorry, Flicky. Another time!"
