Its Not Wise To Tell Bramblefur No

The Thief Guild’s New Campsite Deep In Mossflower Woods

Bramblefur looks in a foul mood today, he also seems to be waiting for someone as he sits in a chair he has had brought out into the clearing close to his new base.

Tazmarie keeps grips on a struggling rat, “Calm down already that’s no way to act in front of Bramblefur”

Thorn tries to stomp on her footpaw again, her paws are tied behind her back but her footpaws are free to move and she chooses to stomp on the weasel’s footpaw.

Coldclaw sits by a tree sharping a couple daggers as he just watches and listens.

Also in the camp are a couple rats, a ferret and a lizard. Bramblefur stands and places his paws behind his back “Nice to see you again Thorn, you been away a little too long to suit me, a simple visit seemed to turn into an extended stay.” He is calm, so calm he is frightening, “Care to explain?”

Tazmarie shoves Thorn towards Bramblefur roughly and mutters something about how the brat should just be killed and be done with it; she sits beside Coldclaw and waits to see what happens.

Thorn just glares at Bramblefur, “Let me go. You’re gonna be in so much trouble when I am found missing.”

Coldclaw rolls his eyes and nods to Tazmarie, he starts to say something but waits as its most likely safer to wait to say much in this camp.

Bramblefur stands motionless as he speaks, “Let you go? Now Thorn..Thorn, you seem to have forgotten something. Who, right before winter found you…a lost, alone, dibbun whom had run away and was hungry. You were lost on the woods for 2 days and also almost drowned, whom was it that got you out of that river, took you in, gave you a warm place to stay in the winter and oh yes food and water, helped you..after a couple weeks, regain your lock pick skills and pick pocketing..a skill you almost lost.”

Thorn frowns and answers, “You did Bramblefur” She says quietly sounding defeated.

Tazmarie chuckles coldly, but doesn’t add anything to this talking as this is between the rat and wildcat.

Coldclaw keeps sharping his daggers, when he is done he has four nice sharp daggers and balances one on a finger as he speaks “So when do we get to go kill something or rob someone? I’m bored and more and more beasts will be out now that it’s getting warmer weather.”

Bramblefur nods “Exactly..” He looks over at Coldclaw and just gives a look that says shut up now or die, before turning back to Thorn, “ It would be wise to not forget that, as also you choose to stay here, you’re not able to just change your mind suddenly.”

Thorn frowns, “But my adopted father is there and..he seen me and he missed me and I missed him also. I missed making pottery and I missed my friends. I was planning on just checking on them but..but.”

Coldclaw sees the look and gulps as he looks down, he says nothing for a long while.

Bramblefur hisses and holds back a growl, “Listen to me Thorn a thief doesn’t need friends and THIS is your family, I think you need to rethink yourself “ He goes to pick her up as she is tied up and she most likely wouldn’t dare try to attack him. He opens a chest that oddly has a good number of little holes in it and drops her inside, locks it and steps back, “You can think in there oh no worries you have breathing holes.”

Tazmarie blinks as she watches Bramblefur, “Umm..Bramblefur why did you put the kid in there for?”

Thorn is afraid of Bramblefur but something else she fears more, she gasps when the chest lid closes and starts to panic, when she hears it lock she panics more as she has , Claustrophobia “No NOOO..let me out! Let me Out!” To her it feels like the walls are closing in and she whimpers and starts crying and trying to get untied, being tied up only makes it worse. She bangs it with her shoulder and after a little while ends up crying herself to sleep.

Coldclaw stares as if he is unsure what to do, well he is smart and stays quiet.

Tazmarie speaks up “Was that needed sir? She is a dibbun…sort of”

Bramblefur stands and listens to Thorn, after she has cried herself to sleep he nods to a ferret to take her out and carry her back to her room, he watches them take the rat and turns to look at Tazmarie, “It’s called fear, fear is a good way to control a beast. She will listen or she will face her fear, or least one of them I know very well. Trust me she will come to respect me soon and be a part of our family.”

Coldclaw shrugs and stands “I’m gonna take a couple and go rob some beasts on the road..bye” Yeah he needs a walk now.

Tazmarie nods “Well you’re the boss..boss”

Bramblefur nods “Yes and do not forget that Tazmarie, trust me it’s an unwise move..now I think a nap is in order.” He turns and heads inside his tent.

Tazmarie shakes her head and mutters something about not getting on his bad side, like EVER!
