Otter and Stoat
Characters: Kentar, Tagger
Location: Moledeep
Moledeep: Gardens
Stoat, stoat stoat stoat! Here's a stoat right now! And he seems to be working on a boat! A tiny one. He's sitting in the gardens by himself with a little wooden boat that he's painting blue and red. He's sitting on the grass on a blanket with a paintbrush, holding the little boat in one paw as he works carefully.
You know what this scene needs? More otter? Dang straight! And look! Here's one now! Tagger just got finished with making him a sandwich (the only thing he really knows how to make) And he decides to have said snacky outdoors. An low and behold, there is also a stoat out here. How convenient! The otter gingerly walks up behind the stoat, looking over his shoulder, and then decides to eat loudly. Watching him make the little boat.
Kentar was so focused on his work that he didn't hear the otter approach at first, making sure every little detail was correct with the paint job, carefully brushing the paint along the hull, not letting it mix with the other color present. He blinks a bit though when Tagg starts to eat behind him, making him look up. "What are you doing?" he asks.
Tagger munches, "Eating a sammich" He somewhat says though a semi full mouth. He wipes a paw across his mouth before pointing at the boat, "What are YOU doing?" he asks in return.
The stoat ahs a bit. "I can see that but why are you doing it while hovering over me?" Kentar asks with a chuckle before blinking and glancing down towards the boat. "OH! I'm making a present for Robin's son...or daughter!" he nods. "I thought a boat would be a nice thought! And I think I have just enough time to work on it before the baby comes."
Tagger nods as he scarfs a another bite, "Cause its fun to hover." he grins before plopping down across the stoat, eyeing the boat with admiration, "Very nice. Im sure she... or he, well love it." he chuckles, "Maybe i should make something too... Hrm?" he grins. Om nom nom sandwich.
Kentar chuckles a little bit and then nods his head. "I'm sure it is." he smirks, putting down the paintbrush and nodding his head slowly. "Yeah...maybe you should." he says with a little smile. "I'm sure they'd love it! And since I haven't seen either my son or his wife in so long, I'm sure they'd be happy to know we still love them!"
Tagger smiles and claps his paws, "Good! But what could i make. Im not sure what im even good at making. I could make them a sandwich" he says eating the last of his, "Maybe a hug? Nah, thats over done..." he hrms and rubs the side of his muzzle, "What do you thing uncle?" he asks.
The old stoat chuckles a bit and then shakes his head slowly. "I don't think that's any good." he smirks at the sandwich idea. "Hm...I don't know. Maybe you could make a doll or something." he suggests.
Tagger hurms and scratches his nose, "A doll?... Hmmm. I could. I guess making a doll wouldn't be that hard. Wouldnt look very good. But i guess its mostly the thought that counts." he chuckles holding the end of his footclaws, "Maybe make him a little otter doll! Mahaha!" he grins.
Kentar laughs and nods his head. "Yup! Only the thought that counts." he smiles, shaking his head slowly before putting his boat down carefully on the cloth he's sitting on, watching it for a little bit. "Mmhm." he nods. "I think a doll would be great."
Tagger rubs his paws together evilly, "Good good! Then thats exactly what ill do!" he jumps up quickly, rubbing the crumbs off his front, "Need to find me some stuff!" he laughs, "Some... Ottery stuff! How much of the boat you got left?" he asks.
Kentar nods a bit and smiles. "Excellent!" he thinks for shuddering. "Very little. Just need to put in the mast, and then a bit of cloth to make a sail." he smiles. "Other than that...just the paint."
Tagger nods, "Nice. Well. Im sure you will be able to finish it soon enough." he grins before stretching a little bit, popping some of his bones, "I think ill work on the otter thing while we are on our way. They wont figure it out, im sure of it." he grins, "Anyway. I need to finish getting things ready. I think Amy is ready to go, me thinks."
Kentar nods his head and then slowly stands up, packing his things away in a special box as he nods, picking it up and standing, having left his cane inside today. "Yeah...we'll go after dinner! That way we'll be there about the time tomorrow." he grins.
Tagger nods, "Sounds like a plan." as he starts to make his way toward the tunnel, "Just have to make sure i have everything..." and he starts to trail off, getting himself all overly prepared again it seems, "Lets see, i have three bags... Well need to get the armor on now... Should be simple enough"
Kentar nods his head as he tucks the box under his arm, groaning a bit as he cracks his back, bending backwards a little bit before leaning forward again and starting to follow the otter towards the tunnel. "Heh...yeah...well, you'll be carrying the three bags, silly otterbeast." he grins, clapping him on the shoulder before heading inside.
Tagger couldn't hear him for the last bit, but looks over when he is clasp on the shoulder, "Ill look really silly with all three bags on. But im gonna carry them all!" he grins, "Its okay. I got it... Come on. I hope we have more sandwich's for dinner!" he chuckles as he follows the stoat inside.
