Eula listened to Whisper, then lifted a paw, trying to beckon her to come to the answer a little quicker right when Jasmine decided to come and interrupt. She frowned and watched Whisper fly off rather hastily.
Her gaze returned to Jasmine. "You seem FAR too cheery," she replied haughtily. She was really good at pressing her luck. "What on earth is going on? Who's the new Abbess? You?"
Jamie kind of stood off to the side, not drawing attention to himself as he listened to the conversation in silence.

::She froze; thought about it and then decided the best, calmest way to go about it...:: Well... now remember... when Ayla decided her successor she was... well...
We... were just as confused about it as you probably will be, but you see, it's not me... ::She laughed somewhat nervously:: ACTUALLY, the new Abbess is-
FAITH'S UH ABBESS!!!!! ::Gem came flapping back out of the abbey, guess that had been the good news... and Whisper had thought out of all of them only SHE could handle the truth... well... Jasmine smacked herself on the forehead, letting the dibbun flap rings around her, crying it out to the skies; and to prevent any confusion, looked back to the band there::
Yes... ::She smiled somewhat, nodding:: Faith is our new Abbess...
((I'm SO waiting for Eula to about turn and run back to Salamandastron here, lol...))

"Um. Hah, hah... funny." ... "Jasmine, you aren't serious, right?" Donato asked, a bit nervous himself.

((Ha. I KNEW that's what Whisper told Gem.))
There was a long pause, as Eula stared at Jasmine, as if waiting to see if this were true. She took into account Whisper and Jasmine's hesitant nature, and knew it must be. There was a few more moments of silence, then Eula burst out laughing.
"Oh my gosh, that's brilliant! What a call!" She crowed. Eula was laughing, apparently completely fine, even more so, with the new successor. Funny: That was almost exactly Tannia's reaction when everyone around her was so shocked and confused.
Jamie raised his eyebrows, confused. He had no idea who Faith was, of course.

::She smiled ever so slightly:: Obviously she hasn't got the job fully yet... she's to be taught everything an abbess should learn...
We think Ayla picked her knowing that was the best way to go about it... ::She leaned closer to Donato at that point...::
But I'll thank you for the kind words there, Eula... I know she'll be happy to see you all... new faces as well...
::She gave a quick bow:: You are all just as welcome here, it's been so long si-
Will someone grab Fenya? She's heading back the way you came...
TO SALAMANDERS'ROOM!!!!!!!

Jamie got out of the responsibility of having to grab Fenya by hurrying up to Jasmine to introduce himself. He bowed, then hold out a paw in greeting. "Hello, I'm Jameson Sersea - but they all call me Jamie." He inclined his head a bit with a smile. "I was jus' acompanying them on their trip back, and will have to return shortly. However, I shall stay with this new vermin threat."
Eula waved her paw a bit indifferently. "Oh, let her go. She'll figure it out soon enough. Especially when she's looking for more to drink, and realizes it's all h-" Eula stopped abruptly. She suddenly remembered the conversation they'd had. Fenya had wanted to leave without saying goodbye, to go on her way.
She turned back to Jasmine, saying quietly. "No, really... just let her go."

He stood with his mouth slightly open, a look of sheer confusion on his face. "But-but she's five..." He said to no-one in particular. Hearing Jasmine's words, he turned slowly to see Fenya. A small, small part of him nearly understood the urge.... "Fenya, come back. I know-"
Eula's tone, more than her words, made him turn back to her. "What?"

::She quickly curtsied back:: Jasmine Espeo, Infirmary Keeper... ::With formalities out of the way, she looked pointedly back at Eula:: As much as I'd love to; are you allowed to let a drunkard vixen like her swanter into a woods filled with vermin when she's in THAT state? ::She spied something; and suddenly moved forward beyond the gate; a bandage end, unravelled from Fenya's dressings; that she stood on deliberately and firmly, waiting for the result to come back soon::
We need to drag her back in here...

Eula lifted a paw and scratched the back on her neck awkwardly, looking away. "No... really. Listen... we've all seen her crazy drunk.... but never like THAT. Look... she's leaving, okay? Just leave her alone." She let out a breath.
"She really should''ve told someone other than me her plans," she said with a small laugh, rolling her yes. "You all must think I'm lying, but honestly, let her go."

"Plans?" Donato asked with raised eyebrows. Knowing Fenya, these probably weren't terribly sane or well-thought-out plans. Certainly not if she was upset enough to be even MORE drunk than usual; who knew it was possible? "What d'you mean?"

::Unfortunately Jasmine didn't catch the drift quick enough; and the bandage beneath her footpaw went taut before there was a sound of several bushes being landed in and a severe bout of angry remarks and swearings that has Jasmine grab Whisper out of the stationary air to cover her ears; finally rounded off by the vixens head poking back into view; no longer quite so drunk looking::
Y'know... if ye missed me that much, ye should've said...
::Jasmine just looked blankly to Eula::
Anybeast feel like helping a flamin' war'eroine out of 'er own grave 'ere? ::Her head vanished beneath a set of leaves again with more muttered cursings, yelps and audibly failing signs trying to get up::

((Must protect Whisper's virgin ears...))
Donato glanced at Fenya and took a step toward the gate to help her up. But he turned his eyes back to Eula. "What plans?" He was genuinely bewildered now.

Again, Jamie didn't seem anywhere near about to volunteer to help Fenya up - something he'd ordinarily help with straight off.
Eula sent Jasmine a meek smile, shrugging a little. "I tried t'tell ya. Apparently what I say means nothin'." She turned and followed the bandage to where Fenya was encased in the bushes.
"Sorry, since my word means nothing here, you'll have to say goodbye to everyone yourself."

::She turned and gave Donato a clueless look, shrugging:: How was I supposed to know? ::As if he were a substitute for Fenya::
Aye... aye... was worth a try...as long as they fill me up with all the stuffin'' in there, I''ll stomache it... think I''m gonna be needin'' it... ::OOOF!!::
::She was trying to get up unsuccessfully; and looked down at her leg and the bandage trailing off, mumbling something about saints above and sinners below before she tried yelling out:: WHICHBEAST BE STEPPING ON ME BLASTED BANDAGE, IF YE''D PLEASE DO ME THE COURTESY O'' REMOVIN'' YON FOOT?!?!?
::The bandage instantly fell limp on the ground and she sighed, levering up on her sword like a beast 20 seasons older with a groan:: Better...

Eula snorted with laughter, watching Fenya pull herself back up. "You know, you scared the wits out of Jamie. I don't think he can ever look you in the eye again."
"Oh, shut up," came the reply over near Jasmine.
She grinned. "Again: I tried, but you'll just have to suffer through some horrendous Redwall food while shamelessly describing every way you saved the world as we know it." Part of Eula was thankful, not so much for Fenya, but for what she'd provide the Redwallers.
Drunk and crazy she may be, but, she knew, the mourning abbeydwellers would need SOMEONE to laugh about... or at.
