So much talk about Basilisk and Bramblefur and all that jazz
Ferravale tavern
Scioto the cat. Oakenpaw the hare. Blisa the cat and Ferdinand the ferret.
Oakenpaw walks in and begins doling out Ale
Scioto walks in speaking to one of the guards and sits down with them speaking quietly with them.
Blisa also comes in, takign off her cloak as she and Ferdinand have an animated conversation. The young cat has her dagger and dirk hanging from her belt, and the ferret's paw rests easily on his sabre hilt. The cat spots her father and heads over to him, standing at a polite distance and talking quietly with her bodyguard as she waits for the Cheiftain to finish his conversation.
Scioto finishes after a short while and nods as the guard exits and so he gets an ale.
Oakenpaw smiles "Goo day Chief chap..how is the town?
Blisa scoots in and sits by her father as Ferdinand takes a seat across from them. After ordering tea (with extra honey), she says, "More importantly, how are you, Dad?" she smiles at the hare, then turns back to the Cheiftain.
Scioto answers his daughter "I am well and little tried. We have some new, guess members of the village now, I had invited them to the tavern but seems they were busy"
Oakenpaw hurries to get Blisa's tea, with EXTRA honey, and smiled to Ferdinand "What can I get YOU Ferdy?
Blisa gives the Chieftain a hug. "Well, that's okay. They'll probably come later. Why are you not sure if they're members or not?" She smiles and thanks the hare, then turns back to listen to what her father has to say. Ferdinand smiles slightly and says, "Tea altho, pleathe. Thank you."
Scioto answers, "They are, it's a guild and no don't go over there it could be dangerous."
Oakenpaw nods to Ferdy and gets him a tea as well "on the house Chap for protectin' m' friend Blis...Blisa, how is that Snakey friend o' yours?"
Ferdinand smiles and accepts his tea gratefully. "My pleathure." Blisa scowls and slumps, a little miffed that her father had thought that she'd want to go over there right away. She glances at the hare and says, "He's grumpy because it's cold and he can't leave the house. He hides in the cellar most of the time."
Oakenpaw asks, "well maybe I could bring 'im a snack? Would e like that?' he smiles turning to Ferdinand "Have a seat Ferdy join us, I hear were going to have more beasts soon...."
Blisa smiles dryly. "Only if the snack is you or cheese buns. But please dont'. He's also upset because I had to put him on a diet and exercise regime because he was dangerously obese." Ferdinand is already sitting, so he just chuckles at the hare. "Ath long ath they're not a danger to Mith Blitha, I'll be fine with that."
Oakenpaw asks, "Well Ferdy I have a special favor to ask Blisa, you think she might be willing?"
Blisa jokingly punches the hare on the arm. "Oi, I'm right here. Just ask it and then you'll know." Ferdinand shrugs and gestures to the cat. "Athking her would be the best option."
Oakenpaw says, "well...It's been a long time since I have had a hug from her...ya know"
Bramblefur pushes open the door, with him is a rat and ferret, The rat rises an eyebrow "This place good boss?" The ferret looks around as the wildcat speaks, "We shall see boys, we shall see" He steps over to the main bar area and they sit down.
Blisa smiles and gives the hare a quick hug. She sips her tea, then straightens up and says, "Oh! I'm almost 7 seasons old!" Ferdinand watches the newcomers very carefully. They don't seem very trustworthy to him.
Oakenpaw comes overto the beasts with a tray of ale "First ale's onna house chaps
Bramblefur looks at the hare "Why is a longeared one serving drinks?" The rat smirks "Maybe he is slave..." A dagger is suddenly at his throat as he errrs, "Oh...umm sorry boss he is...ummm....bunny that likes drinks and sharing?" The ferret rolls his eyes, "Good grief Weedfur..." "What Blades...you annoying" The wildcat speaks up "Behave lads...we thank you for the drinks I am Bramblefur Sharpblade...you are?"
Blisa watches the newcomers, suppressing a giggle. Ferdinand just observes them, trying to see if they're dangerous or not.
Oakenpaw says, "I am the Town Healer Suh..but I like to double as bar tender, and I give vermin a good wollopin in the fightpit from time ta time...ya want the ale or not?"
Bramblefur nods for the ale, as does the other two as they decide to just be quiet and look around the tavern, "I see...healer be good, I meet a mouse healer he helped me on the road"
Oakenpaw says, "Aye us woodlanders be good for a few things" he smiles "You look like an ugly lot"
Bramblefur sips his ale "They are dangerous if get on wrong side...but you be safe, your not on death list so not worry" He grins.
Oakenpaw asks, "Well I am not worried o no death lists so wot do you lot wonts here?"
Blisa goes to get up to greet the newcomers, but Ferdinand blocks her way and shakes his head, which frustrates her, but she trusts him and so listens. He turns and nods politely, but stays quiet for now, waiting to see how the interaction between the vermin and the hare turns out.
Bramblefur doesnt answer the hare, the rat whispers something to the wildcat and gets a nod so the rat hurries off. The ferret stays there, "You is nosy hare..isnt it boss?" The wildcat shrugs, "It is fine..."
Oakenpaw says, "Purhaps I could introduce you to m friend...Ferdy the Wise"
Bramblefur takes a long drink of ale "Why he be needing some beast dead?"
Ferdinand nearly chokes as he slides down in his seat at the booth, trying to hide from the others while silently debating about challenging the hare to a duel. Blisa, however, just waves and smiles politely.
Oakenpaw says, "Ferdy is a brave beast, and quite good at protecting beasts." Oakenpaw waving back to Blisa
Bramblefur hmms and looks over at the beasts, seeing the young cat he is curious, "Who being the cat with the ferret?"
Oakenpaw says, "it's not so much the ferret ya 'ave to look out for as the viper snake..."
Blisa calls across the room, "Basilisk isn't a viper, he's a whiptail snake. There's a difference. My name's Blisa Wyrmtamer, and this is my bodyguard, Ferdinand." She points to the ferret, who reluctantly sits up and waves half-heartedly.
Oakenpaw says, "Well it's time I went to feed that Whiptail...you fellos TRY notto get in trouble"
Bramblefur stands and walks over "Ahh you are daughter of chieftain ya?" He crosses his arm over his chest and bows to her "It is nice to meet you, your father has allowed my guild to stay in Ferravale."
Blisa smiles and tilts her head to one side. "I am, yes. Nice to meet you too, I'm sure. May I ask your name?" Ferdinand fixes his golden-eyed stare upon the wildcat. "Guild?"
Bramblefur says, "I am Bramblefur Sharpknife..my skills are...unique is all I shall say"
Blisa blinks and says, completely deadpan, "Do you have a pet snake? 'Cause I do."
Bramblefur says, "No..why would one want snake?""
Blisa smiles. "Because he had broken into my house and I saw great opportunities for a bodyguard in him. So, he became my bodyguard...after I 'tamed' him, of course. So, I guess you could say that my talents are unique, aswell. What do you and your guild do that is unique?" She asks this last question in a sweet, innocent manner. Which is very contrary to her nature.
I had to leave here :( Thanks for reading! :)
