Trowie shrugs his shoulders and lowers his dagger a little. Well I dunno; some beasts LIKE scaring liddle-uns halfta death before catchin' them. He cocks his head at the strange ending word, and listens intently to the stranger, while Keesha, having succeeded in quietly turning her entire head ninety degrees, fixes the stranger with a wild green eye. We've been up a lot later than this before, mister. We were just trying to get to Redwall 'cause Keesha wanted to see a badger. I couldn' let her go by herself, so I came too. Keesha nodded her head quickly, nearly forgetting to whisper. Mm-hm-mm-hm! One-otha-cub-in-da-clan-say-badjas-be-big-as-mountinks-an-stwong-as-tree-foskes-an......an-dey-eats-da-tails-offa-likkle-foskes-like-us-for-brefust! Impressed by the stranger's ability to navigate by looking at the moon, Trowie nods and smiles. Thanks mister. Oh by the way... He points his small paw in the direction of the fire and the strange creature approaching it. Can you tell us what kinda creature that is? I've never seen one afore.

Sagruus leans against a tree, and gnaws at a hangclaw. "Well, badgers are, as you said, 'big as mountinks', and they are a lot stronger than a whole clan of foxes, but they do not eat the tails off of little foxes. Just, don't get them mad." He peers through the trees at the beaver, completely at a loss for what to tell the pair. "I honestly do not know what that is, but I would not want to be in a scrape against it, that much is certain."

Trowie looks back at the creature with his eyes wide and wondering. Yeah, me neither. That tail looks like it could squish you flat. Keehsa's eyes sparkle as a smile takes in her ears. Squish! Trowie looks back at Sagruus. I just dunno if we should leave though. Supposin' there's a fight? I don' think this is a good place for a fight; lots of bad creatures in these woods, an' those foxes don't look friendly.

((Sagruus is tall enough to wrestle a badger to a standstill, but he is not the type to challenge a badger.))
"Now, shall we go to Redwall, or stick around and see what is going on?"

((And I most certainly wouldn't blame him. sweatdrop ))
Keesha reaches out and tugs the sleeve of Trowie's tunic. I-tink-we-go-to-da-Red-walled-place-'cause-I-don'-like-da-foskes-dey-fwightens-me-an'-besides-you-pwomised. She looks at Trowie, and then at Sagruus. You-can-come-too-mishter-if'n-you-wanna. Come-on-Twowie-ya-likkle-slow-feets! Last-wun-to-Red-walled-isa-stinky-fish-head! Without another word, she backs away from the bush and speeds off in the direction Sagruus had pointed out. Trowie looks at him and shrugs almost apologetically. Well, better follow her so she doesn't get eated by summat. We should go, mister, before those foxes an' that other beast know we're around. He carefully backs away from the bush and starts to walk in the direction Keesha had rushed off in, pausing for a moment to sheath his dagger.

Sagruus loosens his sabre in its scabbard, muttering softly, "I suppose I'll be a stinky fish head?" before following close behind Trowie.

Trowie smiles widely in spite of himself at Sagruus's muttering. At least she didn' call you a toe-snortin' whale fart. He turns his head a bit so that one eye is on Sagruus while he walks. She likes to lissen in on the older clan members when they think we littler ones are all sleepin'. They have a game where all they do is insult each other all over the place. They like to call it 'vinegar talk'. She gets it from them. He smiles that apologetic smile again. Just then, Keesha appears, hanging upside down from a nearby tree, grinning from ear to ear. Big fat gooeysnout stinkybottom fishface! Before Trowie can reprimand her, she ducks her head back into the tree, and seconds later he could hear the thump of her hitting the ground and running on ahead of them. He flushes slightly; he did want to seem more grown-up to everybeast he met, and he did love Keesha like a true little sister, but sometimes being in her company didn't do anything for that.

He paused a moment, then resumed walking. "What's a whale? Never mind."

((Nothing wrong with short posts; that actually is something I should be practicing. sweatdrop And I know one of the Redwall books mentions whales, but I forget which one. xp ))
Trowie nearly answers, but checks himself after Sagruus's 'never mind'. He suddenly slows and turns to look at Sagruus, a worried look on his face. You know, I've never been to this Redwall place 'fore. You think we're goin' the right way? I'd hate to get lost....
((Short post! Fwee! xd ))

"Hold on just a sec..." He steps away from Trowie, and puts his paws down by his sides, pads outward. He thinks a moment, then his limbs tense, and twenty sharp claws pop out of his paws. He leaps at a tree, attaching himself to it at about twice Trowie's height, and begins climbing, to scout the area. He is a good climber, but he will never catch a squirrel, cheeky speed-demons. He has to move one paw at a time, sinking his claws deep into the bark. As he got to the upper reaches of the crack willow, he got up past the canopy of Mossflower, and what a view, especially at night! He looked around and saw the top of the belltower poking up past the treetops, and, making a mental note of the direction, began to make his tedious way down.

Trowie watches solemnly as Sagruus climbs up the tree, and slowly sits down, not knowing how long it will take before he returns. Suddenly, Keesha lands beside him with a thump. Heya-Twowie! Wherra-Mista-Stranga-go? Trowie points up into the tree. He's up there, prolly looking for Redwall. Boy, he'd be right at home in our grove; you shoulda seen the way he went up, Keesha. His claws were almost as long as Teeny's.... Then he hears the sounds of Sagruus coming down, and he jumps up and runs over to the base of the tree, looking up and calling as loud as he dared. What do you see, mister? Are we goin' the right way?

From about two badger-heights up, Sagruus calls down, "A little too much west, not enough south, but if we keep going, we should hit the path. Stand clear." He launches away from the tree, contorting in midair, to land on all four paws at the foot of the willow.

Aba yawned and stretched out in the tree luxuriously, letting the canopy of the tree shade her tired body. After hours of endless scavenging, Aba had managed to find plenty of food to last her for a while. Her ruby-red tail curled up and Aba caught it with a paw. Her eyes burned with hatred when she saw the scrawny tip with small hairs covering the raw skin. Tossing her curled tail to the side, Aba hopped to the ground neatly and scuttled up another tree. Rising to the top, she sniffed her nose at any unusual scents. Smelling none, she relaxed and licked try lips.

Hearing Sagruus' call, Trowie stands up and steps back quickly, while Keesha manages an undignified scramble. Even though she was expecting it, she let out a little squeak as Sagruus hit the ground. Trowie looks up, as though tryng to discern which way was which by just the bit of sky he saw. He pointed his paw in the southern direction. That way, right? Before anyone had a chance to say anything, Keesha was off like a shot in the direction Trowie had pointed. Yah-disa-wight-way-disa-wight! I-thinks-I-seesa-paff!

Setting off after Keesha, Sagruus comments to Trowie,, "She has sharp eyes. Now if she could only sit still for a time, she would be a good lookout for a place."
