Oh-yeah! That bully just got busted !
Ferravale:Tavern
Scioto pushes open the door to the tavern and walks over to his normal spot in the tavern and the bar tender gets him an ale, he takes a couple sips before looking to see who is in the tavern today.
Ferdinand is sitting in a dark corner, a book in paw and an asleep Blisa's head in his lap. He is deep within his book, and so doesn't notice the activity going on around him.
Scioto does make out the corner but not fully who is in it, he rubs his forehead as he has had a long day so far to day, nothing major just alot of little things pileing together at once.
Ferdinand keeps on reading...until a sly-looking female rat leans over the back of the booth and whispers something. The ferrets' head snaps up and he glares into her eyes, which are about an inch away from his own. Sheer hatred is evident on his face, but the rat just laughs andmurmers something else. She looks to be one of the company that had stopped laughing when Scioto entered the tavern a few days ago. I have a feeling the rat hasn't seen her boss yet.
Scioto hears the chuckleing and looks over, he already has a headache and it dosnt look like the rat is making it any better. He slowlt stands to make his way over to them, his drink half drank but for now its forgotten.
Blisa shifts as the rat says something else and Ferdinands' jaw is clenched. He sees Scioto our of the corner of his eye, but refuses to break eye contact with the ratess, who is sitting in such a way that she couldn't see anyone coming up behind, even if she wanted to. "...and you know what else, Ferdinand? You're so dumb, that not /only/ can you not talk right, but you couldn't even do your /job/ if it came downn to the line. So what d'ya think of that, hmm?" the rat chuckles, then smiles mockingly into her victums' eyes.
Scioto is closer now and can make out some of what is said, he stops a short distance away and folds his arms over his chest,he has yet to say anything as he waits.
Ferdinand now glances at Scioto, and when he doesn't look back into the rat's eyes, she, too, turns to look....and gulps. "Sir...I was, uh, I, uh...hehehe..."
Scioto clears his throat, "Greetings and what seems to be the trouble with your fellow guard?" He waits for an answer and sounds a little annoyed right now.
The rat gulps again as Ferdinand crosses his arms. "The and her friendth harrath me." The rat begins to tremble and shake her head. "N...n...not me, Sir! Why would I do that?"
Scioto looks at the rat and looks serious, "I over heard a little bit of your, choice of words, and I believe he does a very good job of guarding or he would not be a guard, I do not like to hear that one of my guards is having trouble with others and other guards at that and I do not like liers"
Ferdinand smiles slightly as the rat begins to stutter. "I...I...I'm s.s..sorry, S..Sir. It won't h...h...happen ag...again, S...Sir..." she begins to back up farther towards the wall.
Scioto watches the rat as she backs up, he adds "Yes it will NOT happen again for if it does or I hear about this again you will be without a job, is that understood miss?"
The rat begins to nod vigorously, and doesn't stop until she's out the tavern door, where she breaks into a run. Ferdinand sighs wearily and strokes the still-sleeping Blisa's ears, avoiding Scioto's gaze.
Scioto watches the rat go and shakes his head, he sits down slowly and sighs, "I have a headache and that made it worse" he states quietly.
Ferdinand nods and continues to stroke his little charge's ears. "I'm thorry, Thir. I'll try not to add to your headache." Blisa stirs and mutters, "Leave 'im 'lone. He talks just fine...."
Scioto nods" You didn't cause it, the rat did..that and summer weather is always annoying"
Ferdinand soothingly strokes Blisa's head as she says a little louder in her sleep, "Leave Ferdy 'lone!" The ferret gently shifts her farther into his lap. "Right, Thir. I underthtand. Thummer ith a rather painful theathon."
Scioto nods "Yes, summer heat is not always fun, its why the guards have extra water while on duty and a way to wet thier face and neck of needed, then not much will happen if its real hot out, least wouldnt think so"
Ferdinand rolls his eyes. "Thome of them don't detherve that..." he mutters. Blisa turns over, muttering incoherantly. Her bodyguard strokes her ears, trying to soothe her.
Scioto nods slowly and holds his head some, yes he is listening.
Ferdinand sighs. "What thoud I do, Thir? A group of about thixth guardth have been harathing me thinthe I arrived here." Blisa settles down a little and sighs in her sleep.
Scioto looks up as he stands slowly and holds on to the chair, he looks at Ferdinand, "Talk to me in my office..t..tomorrow, need to talk to Oakenpaw try and have a good day and..don't know maybe just stay inside my home rest of the day...good day" He walks off a little slowly, an annoyingly drunk ferret gets in his way, they are quickly shoved out of the way and whimpers as the cat heads out of the door.
