Will and Kentar Make Peace

Characters: Kentar, Amy, Will, Aikuen

Location: Moledeep

Moledeep: Mole Hall

Kentar is in the hall, alone today, the stoat is at the table with a big pack, packing it up for his trip. "Hmm...what else." He looks around for a few moments. He hrms and ahs before stuffing more into the pack.

Amethyst walking into the hall from one of the other rooms and sits down at the table. "Going somewhere?" she asks. She's facing him in such a way that it looks like she's watching him

Kentar's ear flicks. He looks up and smiles a little. "Yeah. Did Will tell you about the trip Garnet, Chris, Robin, Aik and Fira are taking? Or...and me..." he chuckles.

Amethyst says, "Yeah, he did. So all of you are going east. I don't see any problem with that. None at all. Just try to remember to bring the otters back if you can get them t leave th sea."

Kentar laughs and nods slowly. "I'll try." he smiles, chuckling quietly. "Your welcome to join us Amy, if you'd like to." he smiles, doing up his pack now so nothing can fall out of it.

Amethyst says, "Thanks but I think I'll stay here. I've done enough traveling for one lifetime, thank you."

Kentar nods then shrugs. "At least Will will have some company." he chuckles quietly, sitting down slowly.

Amethyst smiles, "Racky'll be here too. Unless one of you are going to carry him along on your trip and carry him back. You know he'll just sleep though it either way."

Kentar laughs and shakes his head. "No, we're not going to carry him." he smiles. "He sleeps just way too much." The stoat laughs then sighs a little. "Too bad. He seems nice. When he's awake."

Amethyst shrugs, "Haven't been around him much when he's awake. No idea why he sleeps so much."

Kentar nods a bit. "Maybe he just had a long night before he fell asleep for a while." he laughs, the stoat grinning a little.

Amethyst says, "More likely he has some strange condition that make him like that but whatever it is must not be harming him too much since everyone lets him sleep as much as he wants."

Kentar laughs. "Yeah. You know. I'd love to get as much sleep as he can." The stoat laughs. "Its hard for me to get to sleep sometimes. But if I give Garnet a nice big hug, I drift right off!" he laughs.

Amethyst smiles, "Good for you. When are you leaving. ... When are you leaving on your trip?"

Kentar laughs a little then thinks. "Two...or three days. Not sure yet." He says, shrugging slightly. "We'll tell you before we leave anyways." he smiles.

Amethyst nods, "So a little while away still. How long are you going to be gone?"

Kentar hrrms. "It will take a little while to get there. So I'd say. Two and...a half weeks maybe..." he shrugs. "Again, not sure." he says.

Amethyst mms and nods again, "I /think/ we can mange without you for that long."

Kentar laughs. "And if you can't...oh well." He grins and then chuckles. "So Amy. How are you today?"

Amethyst says, "I'm alright."

Kentar nods a little. "Good to hear Amy!" He smiles, scratching his head.

Will comes in from outside. He chews on his lip a little and asks, "Kentar, ... can I talk t you ... outside for a minute?"

Kentar huhs as Will comes in. He frowns ever so slightly and wordlessly stands up. "I'll be back in a moment Amy." he says, slowly going outside with Will. He's still not happy about what happened the other day.

Will takes it as a good sign that the stoat isn't ignoring him and leads the way out to the gardens.

Moledeep: Gardens

The stoat follows Will to the gardens before sitting down and crossing his arms. "What do you want, Will?" he asks.

Will chews on his lip a little before sitting down. "I'm sorry I yelled at you th other day, Kentar. I talked t Pa about it yesterday and I'm t work harder on keeping my temper and Pa's gonna help with that. I hadn't gotten much sleep th night before that and I didn't want t listen t you talking about your trip but I shouldn't have yelled at you or said th stuff I said ... I should have just kept quiet and gone some place else or like you said just said 'no' but in a nicer way. I'm sorry."

Kentar frowns for a few more moments then sighs as he listens. "Thank you Will. No. You shouldn't have yelled. I know you have bad memories of the eastern coast and I am sorry I had to bring it up." he says. "But next time. Please. Don't just. Yell like that." he then tilts his head a little. "If you need help with your temper, I'm willing to help you too." he smiles a little.

Will nods, "Thank you. I'll let you know if I need you t help."

Kentar nods a little and smiles softly. "Thank you. And Will. You never need to worry about if you yell at me or not. Okay?" he says. "I'll always forgive you."

"How very touching..." says a very growly voice coming from the direction of tunnel. A beast wearing a full black cloth cloak slowly walks toward the Rat and Stoat. His face is partially obscured by the hood, all you see is a toothy grin. He laughs evilly, "How are doing today... friends..." he growls and clenches his right knuckles, as its the only paw visible

Will nods and stands to head back but stops as a strange beast approaches. Kentar had set traps all around Moledeep so no beast should have been able to get this far in, but it was outside and it's unlikely Kentar blocked /every/ possible way in, since new ways could be made by cutting enough trees down or just plain climbing ... maybe. Will watches the new beasts closely with his paw near the hilt of his sword should he need it.

Kentar smiles and then stands when he sees the strange beast. He draws his sword quickly and steps in front of Will. "Who are you!? How the heck did you get by my traps!?" he growls. "Get away from Moledeep or I'll kill you!" he growls. He doesn't seem to remember the 'trespassers will be attacked on sight' rule. He eyes that beast VERY closely.

The beasts grins and laughs evilly again, drawing his short sword as well, going into a fighting stance. The same way, as an otter we all know and love "HAHAHA... I'd like to see you try!... Will... Kentar... You have both done well... BUT NOW! It's time to reveal myself..." Aikuen laughs normally, "Fooled yah eh?" he pulls down the hood, revealing the otter with a goofy grin on his face, "Hiya!" he chuckles.

Will relaxes when he sees it's Aikuen. "That explains how he got through th traps. He didn't. Didn't have to," he says to Kentar then looks over at the otter, "Were you spying on us or just bored?"

As soon as that sword was drawn, Kentar regripped his blade and then hurled it at Aikuen. It travels with the aim of an arrow. The stoat blinks and turns away quickly when he see's who it is. "Oh my seasons, I just killed my best friend!" obviously he thinks that Aik might not be able to dodge it. But he won't have to. The sword flies past Aik harmlessly.

Aikuen grins and then blinks as a sword goes flying at him, and he dodges easily... even more so since it was so off course "Whoh matey!" he eyes Kentar for minute before sheathing his blade to go pick up Kentar's, "I was expecting to be attacked... but not like that!" he chuckles and hands it back to him, "No harm, no foul i guess..." seems okay with it, it seems, "Look before you toss!" he laughs and looks back to Will and shrugs, "Bored... I found this in the storage chamber... a couple of them. Thought they will be good for me and Fira on our trip. To disguise us! And hey! it worked!" he chuckles, "Need to do something with our rudders though..." he turns slightly revealing that his rudder is jutting out through the cloak.

Will has a bit more faith in the otter's abilities though he wouldn't have been too surprised if the otter had gotten hit sees that he seems to attract injuries. He grins a little when Aik turns around, "Yeah that would be a problem."

Kentar looks around. "Oh...I..." he stands, nodding a little. "I knew it was you all along. I just did that to...scare you. Make you not do that again." he nods once, taking his sword back and sheathing it. "You really shouldn't do that though, Aik." he says. "We could have thought you were evil. We could have killed you..." he sits down, hiding his embarrassment

Aikuen chuckles at Will, "We will figure it out some how! Rudder paint maybe!" he grins and then tilts his head at the stoat, "Oh yes was very terrified of the flying sword of doom! I need to go change my pants!" he laughs and walks over to him, shoving the stoat lightly, "Come on Kentar, Cheer up! I would have revealed myself before you killed me... maybe so fast, as that you beat the snot out of me... but soon!" he laughs. Aik seems perfectly alright with it, "Listen Kentar, I'm glad you did that... Oh Defense minister stoaty! I wanted to see if it could disguise me... i need to be hidden from now on and such... and you just help me to prove it!" he grins.

Will laughs at the 'rudder paint' idea. "I don't think they got invisible paint anywheres. I'm guessing tying it t your leg didn't work, that's where it was when you came back."

Kentar frowns a little. "Yeah, it worked alright." he mutters. "I almost killed you!" he didn't. His aim was off by a mile. "Next time. Ask if you look different." he frowns. He's not very happy with Aikuen right now.

Aikuen shrugs at Will, "Well I can do that... That's why I tied it that time... it just might be a little uncomfortable for... two weeks, if my calculations are correct. But may have too, which is fine..." he thumps his rudder on the ground, like otters do. Then back to Kentar and he sighs, "Well I'm glad it worked... And you ALMOST killed me... but tossing big ole blades is not the brightest thing to do... especially when your throwing it at me... But next time, if there is a next time, I will tell you up front. Just wanted to see if it worked. Cant figure that out, if you know already!" he laughs.

Will chews on his lip a little, "You might want t paint your fur if you can. I don't think there are many otters with fur as light as yours. Don't know how well that'd work though."

Kentar frowns as the otter speaks. "Doesn't matter." he mutters. "Won't work if your dead." he stands and leaves, but on his way, he purposely bumps into Aik.

Aikuen ohs, and nods at Will, "That's right... i cant keep putting mud on me, may have to find something a little more permanent." he hmms and then he is bumped in his splint, and it explodes with pain. He grits and growls, grasping his arm, "Real mature Kentar... I should be the one that is mad. Not you. As i was the one that had the sword slung at... but i shrug it off. It was an accident, that was waiting to happen... because i was trying to see if it worked..." he sighs and shrugs to Will, "He will get over it..." and he rubs his arm. Don't know why Kentar is so mad.

Will says, "He forgot you're you and thought you could be killed like anyone else I guess. I don't know. Oh, I told him I was sorry about yelling at him and everything's ok with him an me now. ... At least you didn't try an sneak up on Mum in disguise, don't think she'd like it though it'd be real easy t do it."

Aikuen sighs, "Ill talk to him later i guess..." he then smiles and ruffles the rats head, "You did? Ah, good for you guys! Was that what you guys were talking about when i came in. If i had known, I'd probably gone an stayed inside, working on how to hide our rudders..." he hmms and chuckles at the next part, "I wouldn't dare too. She has been acting rather odd lately... and if i did sneak up on her... lets just say i wont like it..." he gulps and rubs his stomach. Fond, painful memories. He sighs and smiles at Will, "Speaking of Mum... i need to go tell Fira about the cloaks. See i can mend one for her size and shape." he chuckles, "See yah Will!"

Will smiles and shrugs a little, "It's fine. I might as well go in too since everyone else is."

Aikuen nods and pats him on the shoulder, "Alright... lets head off!" he chuckles and leads Will back inside Moledeep, where Aik takes a few tests cloak off the table, then heads off into the sleeping hall to go show his wife, his idea.

Moledeep: Mole Hall

The room has been cleared. The tables are moved and there's a little cloth target hanging on a wall. Kentar is standing across the room with a belt of throwing knives on his waist. Slowly, he picks one, throws it, and it lands dead in the middle of the target. He does it again. But instead of dead center, it hits next to the other knife. The stoat grumbles over and over before picking another one, and tossing it too, it landing next to the other knife.

Will had first looked around for Amy and not seeing her at the table which isn't where it usually is and she isn't were he'd last seen her he assumes she must have gone into one of the other rooms. He stands by a wall to watch Kentar a few moments before asking, "What are you doing?"

Kentar tosses another knife into the cloth target. Each knife lands next to the last and he only pauses to look at Will. "What does it look like I'm doing? I'm throwing knives." he says before throwing another.

Will says, "Ok. ... Why are you throwing knifes at that target? Are those from th kitchen or somewhere else and are you going to put th table and chairs back or leave them like this? I don't mind if you leave it like this there's just as much room t eat in th garden burrow and we don't always eat together anyway so I guess you wouldn't have to put them back, just looks better when they're not up against th wall ..."

Kentar shows Will one of the knives. "They're throwing knives. Not kitchen knives. See how the handle is shaped like a cross?" he asks before quickly hurling that one into one of the other knives, a loud rattle and then a clank as the two knives fall to the floor. "See how good my aim is?" he asks. "In fact...watch this." he takes an apple from a basket and then tries to set it on Will's head. "I'm great at throwing knives. But bad at everything else."

Will's head is very round and the apple won't stay at first it might have given time but the rat would rather not find out if Kentar's aim is as good as he says and quickly tosses the apple back at the stoat and heads for the nearest exit, which happens to be the study, for the time being.

Kentar smirks a bit. "Knew it would work." he mutters to himself, then hurls the knife into the target again. He did it on purpose. But he wont really tell Will that. He just resumes hurling his knives. When all have been thrown. He retrieves them. And starts over. He's there all night long. And then passes out on the floor eventually.
