Is Lacota In...Love?

From Redwall MUCK Wiki


Players involved: Krystal, a squirrel, Lacota, also a squirrel.

RW Abbey: Cavern Hole

Krystal has been walking around the abbey more and more, not feeling as jumpy or scared as she was before.

Lacota is in the kitchen, directing lunchtime activities, when he decides to step out for a few moments. Spotting Krystal, he smiles. "Good day, Miss Krystal! How are you today?"

Krystal smiles and walks over "Hello Lacota, I am doing well and getting to know my way around the abbey"

Lacota pats Krystal's shoulder, nodding in approval. "I am glad to hear that, Miss. You look lovely, as always."

Krystal smiles "Thank you, I am..I feel safe now and trying to get to know others in the abbey now, even if its ...slowly"

Lacota nods his head. "I understand how that is. It took me awhile to feel like I truly fit in, but look at me now: Friar of Redwall Abbey, a very important job. Why, without me, this whole abbey would starve."

Krystal says, "That wouldnt be good if the abbey went hungry and you do a very good job as Friar, your food is very tasty"

Lacota beams. "Thank you, Krystal. Your praise means a lot to me!"

Krystal smiles "Your welcome, your my friend and I hope for a very long time."
Lacota hugs Krystal gently. "Aye, me too, Miss. Me too."
Krystal seems to enjoy the hug and returns it being very relaxed in his arms."I love the abbey and am glad I was brought here."
Lacota smiles, rubbing her shoulder with his paw. "I am so very glad, too. I have a confession to make, Miss Krystal, though I admit to being... Almost afraid to tell you."

Krystal tilts her head, "What is it? Is everything ok?"

Lacota smiles, shaking his head. "Nothing to worry yourself with, everything is fine... It's just, that... Perhaps I should start at the beginning..." He pats Krystal's shoulder reassuringly. "I'm a cynical old squirrel, who's not really that old, but that's beside the point... I have a... prickly personality, and I don't easily make friends... But ever since I first met you... I've felt... different. You're... special... I... I can't really describe it."

Krystal listens and smiles as she does so, "I think your personity is very nice and...I feel safe and relaxed near you, I..like you Lacota. When you enter the room you cheer me up and I miss when your not in the room."
Lacota perks a bit, then smiles. "I... Well..." He blushes slightly, then whispers, "I do like you, too, Miss Krystal, and you always fill my cynical heart with cheer." He glances around, then says, "I should like to invite you to a private picnic, in the Garden of the Late Rose, this spring."
Krystal smiles "I would like that very much."
