Return to Redwall (Finally for the love of God!)
It was almost six days since the group had left from Salamandastron for the trip back to Redwall. Fenya, Donato, Ather and Gem had taken a head start and gone ahead, Eula having promised she'd catch them up on their journey. It was now perhaps an hour or less before they would reach the abbey and Eula still hadn't appeared.
But Eula held to her promise, and it was at this time that she popped up from the side of the brush to join the group. "Hi!" she said cheerfully, falling in step with them. "Sorry, it took longer than I'd guessed to catch you all up. You could say we took the scenic route," she added with a grin as she turned and looked behind her.
Jamie had run up from behind and fell into step as well on the other side of the group. "I did not get lost." And at Eula's sympathetic nod, he added, "And don't go runnin' off like that, m'gel. I can't keep up."
"Well, good news is we'll be there soon, hm? Good to see you survived this far without me," Eula added, looking about at the others.

EUA!!!! ::A familiar face came in front of Eula almost out of nowhere, but not to hang upside down; instead she grabbed hold full face hugging onto Eula's features and hugged tight, as Gem giggled away, spreading kisses and licks equally:: Misst ya!!!!
You can thank me for that, y'know... ::Fenya chuckled as she sat somewhat in the lap of luxury, or rather, a very large snake; one of the last of Fenya's 'cousins' who had hung around it seemed to offer her a way back on that broken leg::
::She still resembled a one armed, one eyed mummified vixen, but now a slightly more unravelled, more drunk, more dirty looking variation of said mummified vixen, a last faithful bottle of wine looked more faithful than her snake to have lasted so long as she took another quick swig; sighing and laughing::
So... how was mother dearest after that little escapade...?

"Ack, no!" Eula gasped at Gem's sudden attack of affection, grabbing the little bat around the middle and trying to hold her off. "I - rrmf - I could tell ya if she stops!" Eula called out, still trying to fend off the Dibbun.
Jamie grinned at Eula's plight, shaking his head a little. However, he seemed rather wary, making sure to walk as far from Fenya and the snake as seemed plausible. He kept shooting unsure glances between the snake and Eula, as if wondering why Eula didn't have some odd reaction to the sight.
"Okay! Well," Eula said, after Gem finally appeared to calm down and give her a break. "My mum never once agreed to lettin' me go, but my father finally took my side. She finally.... what's the word... accepted it I guess. Never agreed to it though."

Ahhh... but I'll wager she had a stipulation to not stopping you leaving, eh...? ::She glanced Jamie over with her grin, but swung her glance just as quickly back to Eula; and the little Gem who now had found a nice perch place to curl up on top of Eula's head, raising a good snicker::
Momma's only evuh wanna keep us safe! ::She explained with all the knowledgable experience of her few seasons in the world:: Eua's momma just wansa be sure she gonna be 'kay!!
Ah... words of wisdom, to only come from a dibbun's mouth... she speak true there, love, or did I? Or what is truth if only a matter of perspective...
::She paused as she swigged that wine... seemed SHE was getting back into the swing of things at least...:: Ya know... like whatcha say to yerself when ye get caught paw in the strawberry barrel...

Eula listened to this complete nonsense with an almost straight face, but when she turned and saw the dumbfounded expression on Jamie's face, she burst out laughing. "Look out, she's getting philosophical." She nodded a little to Fenya. "The 'stipulation' you named was actually my father's idea. If you recall, I told you before Jamie was coming along - my dad had already put him up to it."
"A safety net," Jamie said with a small shrug. "He wanted t'make sure there was somebeast t'go back an' report that you're back safe. 'Sides, I want to see the place m'self. I thought the Lieutenant was comin' along, but apparently he still has some things to take care of."

::Fenya sat there dumbly and mumbled somewhat; whatever memory she'd have of that moment had promptly vanished by the amount of wines and ales that now were probably emersing her brain at that very moment; and in retort she pulled her head back and began to rapidly chug down what she could::
Misst ya... ::Gem repeated, peering over the top of Eula's head at her face now; and then tilting to Jamie, then looking back to Eula; and whispering close to one of those long ears:: ...Donut nuh gonna be jealuss?

((HAH! YES! THEY HAVE ORANGE!))
Donato barely had a chance to greet Eula before she was encased in a little bat-shaped mask. His expression of vague amusement at Jamie's reaction to Fenya's mode of transport quickly turned to an expressive grimace at Gem's "Mommas only want to keep us safe." Well, if they were going to be read the riot act by Jasmine when they got back, at least they would be spared a more emphatic expression of displeasure from Whisper.... Anyway, now Eula's face was dibbun-less. "Hey! Welcome back!" A nod to Jamie as well. "Hullo."
...Gem. "No I will not."

((Right. Am I just a loser for not color-coding? lol))
Eula just rolled her eyes a little, deciding not to try and converse with Fenya anymore. She nodded her head a bit in the fox's direction, looking over to Donato. "I bet she's been a grand companion on this trip," she replied with sarcastic amusement.
The grin on her face slipped as the bat Dibbun whispered in her ear. She opened her mouth to give a playful reply to lighten the awkwardness, but Donato beat her to the answer. She cleared her throat a bit. "Right."

::Her view upon this was set with Donato's short reply to Jamie's presence; so much so that she had to go for a second opinion; releasing her perch on Eula's head to move on to Jamie instead; it was probably quite a strange position to be in, first time or not when a new weight suddenly popped itself on his head; it was like those poise lessons where you had to balance a book, but Gem, who was already far too unbalanced for words, was just a little bit heavier...::
::Ignoring any discomfort he may have been feeling - he'd shake it off anyway, Eula was already used to it - she made to whisper into his ears now too::
::Ah, the innocence of a dibbun:: Are ya Eua's new boyfren'?

Eula watched Gem get up and flap off, noting her next target: Jamie. She shook her head a little, about to protest, but changed her mind. He could fend for himself.
Jamie blinked several times in surprise, not expecting to have a bat Dibbun suddenly alight on his head. He held his paws out a bit, as if he was afraid he'd lose his balance and make Gem fall. At Gem's question, he didn't seem the least bit surprised or bothered. "No. I've heard o' you. I bet you're Gem, wot?"
((There, color, neyh. lol))

Oh. ::She first answered, somewhat disappointed, but then perked up immediatelly, nodding brimly:: Uh-huh, uh-huh!!!
's a pi'y; cuz Eua needsa boyfren' awredee...
::She began giggling like a mad dibbun; particularly a winged mad dibbun:: Butcha know 'bout me... who toldja 'bout me? ::My; wasn't she turning out to be vain? She sat there legs together almost like an Buddha style pose, moving back and forth on Jamie's head with every step; with a smile filled face just as wide::

Jamie shot a sideways glance to Eula, who of course was hearing all of this. Her reaction to it all seemed indifferent. Obviously she was used to bat Dibbuns playing matchmaker with her. At Gem's reaction to him knowing of her he grinned, but only to suppress the bigger urge he had to laugh at the small creature's self-absorption.
"Oh, Eula's told me all about you. Cutest little thing you'll ever see - an' a jolly good conversationalist!" He met Eula's gaze again at this point with a wink.
"That's right, sweet little lies, Jamie."
((You can feel free to have them get to Redwall whenever.))

Donato smiled at Jamie and Gem's conversation. Gem was always good for a laugh. Well,... most of the time, Gem was good for a laugh. Soon, Donato began to grow impatient to get home. They had only been gone a few weeks, but it felt like more than a year. Wonder what Ather'll do when he finds his sister's there... Hm. He peered ahead anxiously, hoping to catch a glimpse of dull red through the seemingly unending sea of green surrounding the party.
