Well....Tonight has been an odd night

• • Zinnia has not spoke much at all and now only a word or tow maybe in a week, she stays in the library or her room most of the time and when she is outside those rooms she dos her best to avoid beasts when she can..this night she can't seem to avoid a robin, least till the robin gets what it wants first...***

• • • Abbey Great Hall*****

Zinnia looks down from the doorway pf the library and looks to see whom is around.

Flicktail looks a little whiter then normal trembling a bit

Zinnia walks slowly from the library and slows as she studies Flicktail, she then goes to sit down in the large chair and arrange some pages she has and gets them in a certain order it would seem.

Flicktail gives a wan smile to Zinnia

Twiddle is outside but can be heard singing; those familiar with bird song will probably recognize it as a mix of insult and slight panic.

Zinnia nods a hello to Flicktail and finishes with her papers and puts them away into her knapsack.

Flicktail says, "Ello to Sister Zinnia"

Zinnia doesn't answer as she did nod a hello to the fox and that’s all it seems he will be getting from her as she folds her paws in her lap and sits back in the chair.

Flicktail sits by Zinnia and folds his paws in his lap too

Zinnia stands and goes elsewhere, in a corner of the room and sits there instead.

Flicktail says, "I am sorry you must suffer m company Sister"

Zinnia just stays silent, something she has been the past few weeks. She has maybe said one or two words..maybe, otherwise when she is out of the library she is silent and quiet.

Flicktail signs and goes about his business ignoring her.

Zinnia stands and goes to silently get a glass of water and a small bowl of soup and sits at a table close to where she was to eat the soup and drink the water.

Flicktail doesn't seem to even acknowledge Zinnia's in the room any more going about his business

Zinnia eats her soup quietly, and sips her water. A couple other beasts up late walk down stairs and nod a hello to her, she does nod a hello back and the two beasts, two voles , go to get some water before sitting down to chat about the weather something about colorful leaves.

Flicktail interacts with other beasts as they come and go, being pleasant and walking around Zinnia paying her no mind

Twiddle pecks on a window from outside and seems to be trying to peer in or trying to work out what the window is. Of course, she can't see much with the stained glass. After a couple of pecks she gives up and decides to sing a song about how the masonry she's perched on outside is her perch and other birds should stay away right now.

Zinnia frowns, but says nothing as she finishes her meal, she then scoots the bowl and cup away from her and gets something out of her pocket, a small bag of hot root and looks at it quietly.

Flicktail sticks his head out the door "The Door is ere twiddle bird"

Twiddle chirps in question and hops around until she sees the fox sticking his head out of the door. "Wossa door Flashytailfox? Twiddle norra no this word, ahem, no! Door issa abbeyfood?! Twiddle likes abbeyfoods!"

Zinnia looks over at the robin as she fiddles with the hot root bag in her paws, she stays quiet.

Flicktail says, "Come in this way silly bird..."

Twiddle hops around to the door and cautiously inside. "Wheresa door? Twiddle much interested in trying 'door', ahem, yes!" She eyes Zinnia, and Zinnia's bowl, with interest. "Bigstripey have door?"

Zinnia frowns, her bowl is empty right now, as is her glass. She keeps a hold of the hot root pouch a little tighter as she watches the bird.

Flicktail points to the wood "THAT, is a door, a way in." He looks up at Zinnia and then the robin to speak again to her "I afraid 'Big Stripey' no longer cares to allow us to enjoy her company Twiddle…sorry”

The robin turns a bemused expression on the two mammals. "Groundbeasts have name for closable walls. Ahem, yes. Groundbeasts much odd..."

Zinnia shakes her head at Flicktail and at first looks like she is about to say something and then she just remains silent instead and goes back to fiddleing with the small hot root pouch.

Flicktail shows twiddle in and intro's the bird to several novices. Then heads for his cottage "I am going to turn in and Sister Zinnia, we all do miss you" Without waiting for any reply he exits

Twiddle hops toward Zinnia after Flicktail heads off, interested in whatever it is she has because bowls have meant food so far.

Zinnia watches the bird closely, she seems not interested in her empty bowl, just the hot root pouch she keeps in her paws.

Twiddle hops forward some more. "Bigstripey feed Twiddle?" She asks cautiously.

Zinnia frowns and seems very VERY protective of the hot root pouch and carefully places it in her pocket, she looks around and frowns as no other beast is around and looks back at the robin.

Twiddle stares back at Zinnia and hops from one leg to the other impatiently.

Zinnia slowly stands, it seems she will have to get something. Getting food is fine, one doesn’t need to talk or do much for that and so she gets some rolls and walnuts and then places the plate of rolls and the bowl of walnuts on a table, and since she wasn’t sure on water, a small bowl of water, birds don’t use glasses right?

Twiddle perks up. "Bigstripey feed Twiddle! Much thanks Bigstripey, ahem yes, much thanks! Twiddle much like abbeybeasts! You norra talkytalk like the othergroundbeasts," Says the chatty bird "Twiddle is liking this, yes!"

Zinnia tilts her head, well if the bird dislikes talking then Zinnia is for sure the beast to be around these days, she nods and sits back down at the table like before. She sips her own water glass slowly and looks around. Its basically quiet in the room, almost anyways.

The bird gobbles down the food set out and then decides to sit and have a bath in the small bowl of water. She gets water all over the floor, but seems satisfied with the quick bath. "Bigstripey is thoughtful beast! Twiddle have food and washbath! Keep feathers nice and norra stickyfeather, ahem, yes!"

Zinnia blinks..well a bath on a table is something different, she simplely nods and does make a mental note to write this interesting event down. She finishes her own water and slowly stands.
