::Fenya nodded sagely, her eye cast upward in thought...:: Righteo...
Now then... as was I sayin' when I was RUDELY int'rupted... ::She cast a glare down at the corpse as if that would reprimand it from ever interrupting her again, or even daring it to crawl back to life and do so once more::
If ye can all toddle off elsewheres an' all... leave this place alone an' whatnot, company feels like bein' stuck on a rock in the middle offa flamin' ocean next to two singin' newts, but the grub's good... HONESTLY, ye 'aveta try the dumplin's...
Oi like dumplin's!!! : biggrin reg enthusiastically cried upward::
Aye... that's why ye are one, Dreg... ::She grinned as she leaned on one elbow on the ramparts now, many other vermin laughing too, while Dreg just smiled up at her::
So... if yer wantin' a liddle fun... why doncha check out yon river to the Nor'east 'a 'ere... plunderin's a good goin' there brethren... but afore ye go... what's my name!?
::And up from all vermin came cries of variations of name, depending on their species; the stoats cried 'HALFERSTOAT', weasels cried 'HALFEREASAL' and so on so forth... but then they took off in full tilt run as if receiving word from a general... Fenya held such clammour among them... if she'd gave word it seemed they would have took over the abbey and made her queen if she wanted to... but in the end... well... Fenya grinned quite proud of herself as she sat back:: There ye go...
I don't think we'll NEED to contact the long patrol, Turan... ::Jasmine stared with such a curious look, between suspicion and anger::
Why'sat?
You just sent them to a riverbank FILLED with pike and winged predators...
::Fenya sat still for a moment while she had many faces upon her; and then finally let out a snicker; speaking as innocent as possible:: Honestly? I thought yon deathstream was Sou'east... but... well... ::She tried to fight off laughter:: Live and learn, doncha?

((Number one: Heehee. "Deathstream."))
((Number two: Man, I miss so much when I'm at work. Alas.))
Donato had made no promise not to laugh, but he needn't have feared being unable to keep it. No sooner was he tempted to so much as smile at the antics of the henpecked husband below him than the creature had killed his wife with no more than a foolish grin. The back of his paw instantly went to his mouth as he looked down in shock for a few moments. A deep breath or two as he closed his eyes, then he turned away and went silently down the stairs. He was gone before Fenya had even sent the hoarde of vermin to their collective demise at 'yon deathstream.'

There was followed a few moments of silence. Tannia didn't really find any of this terribly amusing. Eventually she pulled away from Turan's hold to look over and watch the retreating vermin. She sighed and rested her arms on the ramparts, watching in silence. She didn't seem to relieved. After all this, all she could think about was Now what? Things just kept happening and there seemed to be no real end to any of it.
Turan released her and let her walk back to the wall-edge. He looked over at Jasmine and nodded a little. "Well, that seems in order. However, I'll rest a litlte easier if we send someone to make sure of ther vermins' whereabouts before we completely brush it off."
Eula managed to tear her gaze away from the stoats below and she watched Donato walk away in silence. She shot one final glance at the vemrin who were leaving, then quickly followed Donato down the stairs. She caught him up and walked alongside him in silence. She'd opened her mouth a couple times to speak, but could think of nothing really to say, so she remained quiet.

::It was Kusaa who immediately came forward, bowing somewhat:: I will pursue them with all due stealth to make sure of their fate for you, if you wished...
::Whisper in turn came forward:: I'll head with... ::She rolled on quickly:: ...place swarms of carnivorous birds... best to stick in pairs when in those unfriendly skies...
::Jasmine in turn after Eula, made her own way wordlessly down the ramparts...::
::Fenya... she was left with them, sighing as her laughter died away, taking a more sombre look,s he did little to mention the fact they still had one leftover stoat corpse, but she thought better of speaking up at the moment as she pulled out a flask from within her silk robes, and took a quick, measurable draught from within, before she silently handed it towards Tannia:: Aye... be good of ye both, long as ye take care...

Turan nodded at Kusaa and Whisper. "I would appreciate it. However, they've a long walk ahead of them, so don't worry about it tonight. I think everyone could use a decent rest."
Tannia looked over at Fenya, looked down at the flask in the fox's paw, then looked away with a shake of her head. The last time she'd been offered alcohol she'd practically passed out and woken the next day with a screaming headache. "Thanks, but no. I think I'll be able to sleep well enough without help from whatever that is."

Aye. ::Agreed Kusaa firmly, perching herself on the rampart wall now, looking quite ready to wait as long as needed before being told to go::
::Fenya shrugged one armed and quickly took a good down of her own brew, gasping afterward and laughing with a shake of her head as she looked back to both bats:: You better disregard that 'un...
::She nodded:: Those lot? The way they're running... they'd travel to the ends 'er the world on the wind the way they left 'ere... I'm like a queen to the beasts...
::She thought over that last statement, and decidedly took a good long swill of her flask, pocketing it again, looking somewhat brighter now:: I'd say yon abbey's safe now, buckoes...

Tannia watched Fenya drink heartily from the flask with a slight shake of her head, then she glanced away again wordlessly.
"Sure, I assumed Redwall was safe, I only suggested checking on the lot to make sure they haven't gone off and put any Woodlanders in danger. I'd be happier knowing they were leaving well enough alone and not harming others outside of Redwall."

::Fenya's eye suddenly lit up as she quickly replaced her flask, grabbing her sword:: Never thought o' that 'un!!!! ::As quick as she could manage, she was hobbling down the stairs and trying not to fall over herself:: I'LL handle 'issun!!!!!
::Meanwhile Kusaa sat still upon her perch, looking back to Turan as if awaiting any explanation::
::Then Whisper sighed, shrugging:: Should we stop her?

Turan whipped around as Fenya hobbled off as quickly as her wounded self would allow. "Wait wait wait wait," he said hurriedly, beckoning the fox back. He turned back to Whisper and Kusaa and shrugged, giving a little wry smile. Then he went after her. "Fenya, come on, stop. Don't be ridi-"
"Woah Fenya, watch where you're stumbling!" Eula sidestepped to allow Fenya passage, then saw Turan coming up trying to stop her. "Oops. What's she up to NOW? Fenya... stop wobbling around and come back..."

MY mess, I'll be the beast ta 'andle it!! ::She didn't give much room for response or apology to Eula as she went by, making a bee line for whichever gate she could get to first, slightly hopping for a moment as she held the blade under arm to point AND keep moving, looking near ready to fall over once or twice as she kept going:: Open the gates!!! I'm 'eading after the beasts meself!!! ::She didn't give room for comment, and as comical the sight may have been; the look in her single eye was enough to make up for the absence of the other, it was commanding enough to have many a beast respond without question... of course the fact she had the abbey warrior chasing after her may have had something else to say about that...::

((If I had ANY idea what you meant by bilocating... XD. She was walking with Donato, but this could've only been a minute or two after she and Donato left, so Fenya and Turan just went past them.... yeah.))
"No, no, kindly DON'T open the gates," Turan called out hastily, wondering who the guards would choose to listen to. "Fenya, stop. You aren't fit to go limping out after them, just stay. We have others that are perfectly capable of checking on the horde..."
Eula hung back, watching the event with her long ears perked and listening. "She always has to be doing something."

::Fenya only flung back a glance to see that Turan was gaining on her; and looking back at the decidedly undecided guards; suddenly held her blade aloft as she went from a hopping to a half-hopping, half-grimace enducing run on the splinted leg as well; looking for many a second to be ready to overbalance with her blade; but then yelling maniacally::
Open them afore I cut meself a NEW door!!!!!
::That settled it for the guards, anyone who cried out that kind of threat was needed to be held back... after all...what kind of maniac said they would get rid of THOSE gates with one blade?::
::They stopped; looking to one another simultaneously in memory of Fenya; and quickly opened the gates just a fraction; enough for Fenya to skim through, now laughing; and letting her past to the outside, where she tumbled aside a certain dead stoat and picked herself up with amazingly speedy recovery considering her current health:: 'Scuse me, dear, but you're not the only one who thinks yer 'usbands too thick to follow even 'is own funeral rightly!!!!
::And up she struggled, quickly going for a run once more, crying back a chorus of laughter into the air::

"Well you might as well leave them open for me now," Turan said furiously at the guards as he paused to grab his sword and scabbard, attaching them quickly to his side. "When I return, we're having a little talk about who is in charge, is that understood?"
Without waiting for a reply, he slipped through the gate and went running after Fenya, catching up to the limping, wounded vixen. "You really are the limit, did you know?"
Tannia had watched Turan going running after Fenya. She waited a few minutes and when she couldn't hear them anymore, she turned and looked out over the ramparts. Seeing Fenya and Turan out on the path, she gave a groan of dismay. "Does it never just STOP?"
