Donato saw Eula emerge from the dancing and head to the table for something to eat - thinking it perhaps safe now, he started towards her to say hello. He hadn't even spoken to her yet this evening. He stopped when the lively piece came up, expecting her to resume her dancing. He saw her led away by Jamie and watched them begin to dance, before scooping up the tart Eula had come so close to claiming, and seating himself on the table's edge, watching the dancing. He quirked an eyebrow at Eula's pointed glance toward him. When she approached, he grinned a bit in response. "Yes." Another grin. "I must say, you're looking spiffy this evening."
((Oh, man, so many posts to catch up on! o.o; Heehee. 'Spiffy' is a swell word. As, in fact, is 'swell.'))

::Too sleepy to really catch anything Jasmine or Faith were saying, Terra merely blinked sleep from her eyes and sat up, feeling her back crack a bit after being in such a position for so long.
She rubbed her eyes with the backs of her paws, looking at Faith and Jasmine now as her vision cleared::
Oh...G'morning miss. ::she spoke in a yawn, not knowing it was more rather late afternoon, heading on into the night.
She turned to Ather, not quite sure how long she'd been asleep for. But Her brother was still slumbering away, oblivious, so it couldn't of been that long.::

Turan grabbed a piece of yellow hazelnut cheese, taking a bite and looking out over at the dancers, then shifting his gaze when he saw Constantine ambling over in his direction.
He smiled a bit at the badger's comment, even more so when he was referred to as "young'n." Constantine had always been old. Even when Turan was just a small leveret, Constantine had been old. The hare had difficulty imagining the badger as a younger creature.
"Hello, old friend," he said politely, after quickly finishing the bit of cheese. He smiled again, looking up at the badger with his bright blue eyes - the same look of joyous rapture that was caught in Tannia's. "T'tell you the truth, I didn't know when it was coming either. Waiting long enough, to be sure."
With that he turned and looked off again, vaguely watching the dancers - the playful Dibbuns and Tannia twirling about the grounds with Sasha - seeming a little distracted by other thoughts.
Jamie watched Kusaa flap off, a little frown playing across his features. Had he said something wrong? He turned to Gem, and reassured by her announcement that the other bat Dibbun was just shy, he plucked Gem up with a laugh.
"I'd jolly well love t'dance my pretty little winged lass."
Eula had noticed the missing tart, and turned a small smirk to Donato, knowing full well who the culprit was. "You ought to dance, it's fun. And none of that 'I can't dance nonsense.' Everyone can."
She paused, seeming a little surprised by Donato's unsolicited compliment. Hoping "spiffy" was his way of saying "pretty" she smiled a little. "Thanks."
((No one's allowed to make fun of my terrible harespeech. So there.))

::Jasmine smirked a little, nodding to the window at the night's darkness had overtaken them, letting that speak for everything; and the sounds of laughter and music outside::
I believe you and Ather are missing out on a little celebration here...
As a full medical nurse, I can certainly tell you in my opinion that there's nothing wrong with his legs if he'd want to go out and enjoy the celebrations with you...
~~~~~~
::Gem giggled and beat her wings enthusiastically, pulling Jamie just as strongly into a spin, trying to give something for the dance as well, even if her feet couldn't touch the ground; giggling away::
::A lone figure sidled up to Turan and Constantine, and it may have took them a moment to pass the thought ANOTHER bat had joined the abbey... for at first look, he certainly looked the dashing bat swordsbeast... and then after a moment; he was a she!!::
This a private conversation at all? ::Whisper slightly grinned::

Donato returned Eula's smirk with a look of complete innocence, as if wondering what she might be smiling at. The wide-eyed look turned to a grimace at her first words. "I don't think so. I can't."
He, too, quirked a brief grin. "You're welcome."

((Fine, apparently April doesn't want to post *grumblegrumble* lol))
Jamie had to laugh at the enthusiasm of the little bat Dibbun. He held her little paws in his own, going around with her in the spin as he moved back out to the dancing area.
Turan glanced over at the new arrival. He did a quick double-take before realizing it was Whisper. He gave the bat a once-over, then actually didn't seem overly surprised by her choice of apparel. "Not at all," he replied, giving a small bow of greeting. "How are you doing this evening?"
Eula rolled her eyes at Donato's reply. "Have you ever even TRIED? How would you know you don't like it? Come on," she held a paw out, an invitation for him to join her out with the other dancers. She was relatively sure he wouldn't, but that didn't stop her trying.

((sometimes i just don't feel like it. if you force me to, my posts will be s**t. just be patient, dammit.))
::Terra blinked, as if processing Jasmine's request. Then she began to shake her head::
Oh, no no...I don't think he's ready to leave just ye-
Terra, shurrup and help me up. ::his voice was tired, slurred, but he was very much awake. The commotion of a body moving off of his, and voices seemed to wake up the recovering raccoon, and Ather was rather tired of simply laying down.
Laying there allowed him free time to think up the worst outcomes possible of his surgery, and he really preferred not to think of such things::
Wanna go out. ::he murmured::
Ather...::she was not all convinced he was ready, but Ather sat up, rubbing the sleep from his eyes with a paw and swinging his legs over the edge of the bed::
Well...alright then. C'mon. ::it was obvious she was not going to win, so she simply began to help her brother stand, seeing as how it had been awhile since he'd done such a thing on his own::
::Constantine's eyes squinted behind his thick glasses, making out just who had ambled over to them. He knew almost every face inside the abbey walls, so it took him only a few moments to recognize Whisper::
Private? Of course not, dear, of course not! ::he was going to ask a polite question like 'How are you this evening?', but Turan seemed to beat him to the punch::

::Immediately, he had Jasmine's help as well:: Like I said... nothing wrong with those legs... just give it a minute... a quick walk round the room to get the life back into them and down we'll go...
::Whisper raised her hat's rim, obviously enjoying her ambiguous apparel and the reaction it had taken from Turan being indeed the most wanted on her list:: Ah, paws full even now, 's not just Gem - left her twirling about with that strapping mountain hare Eula brought back - it's Kusaa...
Don't know where she's flapped off to, but nice to see her prettied up for a change, thought all she would ever wear was black for her whole life! ::She tossed a shelled nut quite deftly into her mouth, chewing thoughtfully::
On the whole, have you EVER seen a beast in these celebrations with a sour face? ::She grinned, opting for a nice sized apple this time:: Lest be said, these little events are.... 'interesting'... ::She grinned again:: Never twice the same!
::She seemed ready to move off, remembering her manners:: Same for you two?
Especially the freshly married hare here?

The young hare stepped back, holding up his hands defensively. "Oh, no. Trust me, I can't dance."
((Sorry, I really was going to try for a long post. But I'm dead at the keyboard. Need sleep...))

((Nice. Lol xp )
"Yes, everyone looks very nice this evening," Turan replied in an agreeing tone to Whisper's comment about Kusaa dressing up. His eyes scanned the grounds - to the dancers, to the ones who were eating, to the gossiping Sisters who stood off in a huddle and eyed all the Redwallers and whispered enthusiastically. He noticed, as the evening grew darker and the sun's light was replaced by cheerfully flickering candles and lanterns, many creatures were pairing off and going off on quiet walks off to the orchard and around the pond or to the walltops. He'd probably be doing the same had he not been particularly expected to be in the midst of the celebration.
His attention returned to Whisper and he smiled, giving a nod. "I'm doing great. I couldn't ask for anything more."
Eula hesitated, shooting him an impatient look, even though she had expected that kind of reaction from him. She shrugged and didn't pursue it further. "Your loss." Her attention turned away from Donato and back out at the grounds, tilting her head a bit as she glanced around - she looked ready to flounce off and join the dancers again.
Winded from her lively and delightfully silly jig with Sasha, Tannia departed from the dancing circle and took a cup of water from nearby. Sipping from it, she turned to watch the goings-on. Having that one short second to herself, she gave a big sigh of happiness. After all the proceeding events, she'd been waiting awhile to feel this wonderful.

::She flashed a wide grin and nudged him playfully:: You could ask for a little time for yourself and MRS Turan now... you two beasts might have the rest of your lives together, but I'd good bet and wager she'd love to be with you more than anything right now... ::She drifted off for a second on nostalgia, and then shook herself free as she looked to him::
Am I right?

"Mmm," was Turan's noncommittal reply as he glanced across the grounds. Though he'd let his gaze wander often, he'd been keeping a rather watchful eye on Tannia throughout. He considered the option for the moment, then disregarded it with a small shrug. "It's growing late - the Redwallers will tire before much longer. I've waited this long, I can wait a little while more."
With that, he turned and pilfered another bit of cheese, chewing on it thoughtfully.

((Literacy extra dry.))
Relieved and surprised - perhaps a trifle disappointed, as he had rather expected her to make him dance anyway, Donato quirked half a smile and leaned against the table, pouring himself a flagon of cider as he watched Eula watch everyone else.
((I know, you're going to shoot me. Fortunately, bullets don't travel through cyberspace. sweatdrop Stupid college and thirty million pounds of homework....))

::Whisper chewed thoughtfully while he spoke, but then she shone an eye to Constantine behind Turan's back, raising her brow and nodding vindictively at Turan and then at Tannia... quickly waiting to see if the old badger got the message and the idea quick enough without Turan noticing...::

Turan laughed a little, not having to turn and see Whisper's discreet little expressions to get what she was trying to do. "Making a couple creatures move off won't change anything. Like I said, it's fine. We'll just wait until the celebration had broken up a bit and the others are tired."
Eula had disappeared. She wasn't much for passing up opportunities to do something more than just standing around doing nothing. Hanging around Donato didn't seem like it was going to be much fun - so she was gone pretty fast.
