Is the kitten truly sorry, or is she just faking?
Ferravale Chieftain's home
Blisa the cat and Ferdinand the ferret. Scioto the cat.
Blisa is sitting in a chair by the window, sulking and glaring at an innocent tree outside like everything was its fault. Ferdinand looks stressed, but he has just made a good point by telling her everything that Benar instructed him to in the hopes that the kitten will stop wanting revenge on Ragg. The kitten is just mad 'cause she's knows that the ferret is right. He sighs and leans on the fireplace mantel.
Scioto steps into the main room of the house, he looks tired as he has just made sure last minute details are done to the tavern, he made sure the blacksmith knows of other repairs and he has even done a little woodwork repair himself as seen by a couple small bandages on his fingers, he sits down and glances over at the two after he puts away a saw and hammer he had.
Blisa doesn't notice her father; she's too busy stewing and glaring at the tree for it to register in her mind that he's here now. Ferdinand turns away from the fireplace and nods to his boss. "Good day, Thir."
Scioto nods "Good day Ferdinand, glad to see you got Blisa home safe and sound" He frowns at his one paw and shakes his head, well could of been worse.
Blisa glances over at the mention of her name, then goes back to fuming at the tree outside the window. Ferdinand comes over and sits down beside the Chieftain, sighing. "Yeah, the'th thafe, alright. The'th jutht angry 'cauthe I'm trying to make her thtop theeking revenge. I think the knowth I'm right, the jutht refutheth to admit it." He sighs again and leans back, covering his eyes with his arm.
Scioto glances over at Blisa and back to the ferret, "I am sure she will be ok now that she is home, and the tavern will be open tomorrow, may have some singing and fun, something for the village to celebrate"
Ferdinand nods. "I hope you're right. But it might get worthe thince Ragg ith here. I don't know. I hope the'll be okay."
Scioto nods "After long talks, yes she should be and maybe they can be friends, Blisa will one day be leader here, not sure when but some day and she has to be wise, understanding, and a good leader."
Ferdinand wrinkles his nose and looks at his boss a little apprehensively. "I try to not talk about her being leader here...she gets depressed and starts crying. She does a little better if I say that you'll retire, instead of dieing."
Scioto frowns "I didnt say because of death, it could be retire, but lets not focus on that now. I may take a little walk to the abbey later, to check on Nightbreath he is in the infirm at the abbey right now"
Ferdinand sighs and rolls his eyes. "The alwayth athumeth that we all mean when you die." Blisa turns around, having caught the last bit of what her father said. "Can we come with you?" she asks, giving him the cutesy eyes, hopeing he'll say 'yes'.
Scioto folds his arms over his chest as he looks at her "I don't know young lady, you have not been acting very nice lately,why should you go?"
Ferdinand stays silent as he listens, amused, to the kitten's answer. "'Cause I'm really, really sorry, and I wont try to kill Ragg, and I probably won't hire Darkwatcher or Gildor to kill 'im, and I haven't seen you for a while 'cause you've been busy here, and I really, really, really miss you." she looks like she's trying really hard to not cry.
Scioto arches an eyebrow at all this info, "Well, I am unsure and yes I have been busy and sorry for that, I plan to not be as busy here soon"
Blisa starts to cry a little. "Pleeeaaaassse!! Daddy, I'm sorry, please let me come with you! Please?" Ferdinand sighs and closes his eyes. Let him know when the dramatics are over.
Scioto listens to this for a short while, "I am still unsure, would you behave, are you truely sorry for acting the way you have and you promise it will not happen again?"
Blisa nods, sniffleing. Ferdinand really doesn't care what her answer is right now, as long as somebeast tells him what the end descision is.
Scioto sighs, "I will think on it, I do need to be back here tomorrow"
Blisa nods and scoots down off her chair, coming over and holding up her arms, crying too much to say anything. She is getting so big....she's about 5 seasons old now. Ferdinand sighs and scoots down in his chair a little more. It's surprisingly comfortable.
Scioto smiles and gives Blisa a hug, he doesn't say anything now just hugs her.
Blisa leans her head against her father's shoulder, smiling slightly and sniffing very much so. Ferdinand has started to doze slightly. If he's not careful, he's going to get a kink in his neck and tight muscles in his lower back.
Scioto looks at Ferdinand and shakes his head, "Bad sleeping position, will hurt later on"
When Ferdinand proves how asleep he is by not responding, Blisa reaches over and roughly shakes his arm. "Wake up before you get hurt, silly!" The ferret groans and limply flops his arm onto her head. "Thtoppit." The kitten yells, 'hey!' and shoves his paw off grumpily.
Scioto sighs, "Well at least there is no danger, looks like we may not go anywhere right now then"
