Making Camp

[Malum]

Reykur came out of the bushes, walking up to the ferret, Malum. He looked up at her, and gave a toothy grin. ;D Malum satred at him, as he crawled up onto her and said in a squeaky voice,
"Ee a ferret? H'i neva seen any ferrets before! Awe ee wike a REAL vurmin? Killing all , an' living on the road?" Malum stared awestruck at the little cub, then she answered.
"Yeah, I'm a ferret. But, I don't kill people for the fun of it like most people do." The otter-cub looked sad, and he looked at his mother.
"So , ee aren't going to kill her an' everything ? But H'i wanted to see ee an' daddy fight someone ..." Skipper smiled and ruffled the fur on Reykur's head. Reykur growled and tried to bite Skipper. He moved away and jumped on the unlucky stoat. He bounced up and down on his stomach, until he moved up to his face. He looked at his marking, and opened his mouth, to look at his teeth. The stoat shut his mouth, and glared at the baby otter.
"What are you doing to me?" He asked, rubbing his jaw.
"I wanted to see you teeth, and study you!" Reykur said, smiling. "Daddy, can you hold him still, so I can study him without him biting me?" Skipper walked over to the stoat, who was slowly moving away from him. Skipper grabbed the stoat, and brought him over to Reykur.
"There, now..." Skipper trailed off, grabbing his dagger, and giving it to Reykur. "You can use that on him if he hurts you." He walked off, leaving the stoat there, his hands tied behind his back, and being controled by a baby otter with a dagger. Lenis looked over, and yelled at Skipper.
"WHY DOES HE HAVE A DAGGER?!?!?!? HE COULD HURT HIMSELF OR THE STOAT!!!" Skipper answered.
"Oh, come on! The stoat is fine! Reykur just wants to see his teeth!"

[Lisolette]

Lisolette bopped her younger brother on the head with her stick. "Hey! Don't do that to him unless he wants you two! Stoats have feelings just like you and I do, Reykur!" Letting her parents fight out whether or not Reykur could have a dagger, the young otter-maid ran over to Malum. "Sorry 'bout Reykur, I'm still having trouble teaching him that Vermin have personalities just like Woodlanders do..." She sighed, "Papa doesn't help...him and his ways..."

Slynch watched the otter family, and he couldn't help but reminisce of the happy times he shared with his deceased adoptive father, Vanpor, until he married Gila and Slynch had to send Gila, Vanpor, his old tribe, and his own army of mixed Vermin and Woodlanders, and then ended up to kill his adopted parents and becoming the only survivor out of both armies.

Slynch smiled devilishly. He loved killing Vanpor and Gila the best...

[Malum]

Reykur looked at Lisolette.
"H'i know! H'i just wanted to see his teeth an' H'i neva asked f'r a dagger, H'i just didn't wanna be bitten by him!" He pouted. The stoat patted him on the head, and smiled.
"It's okay...I'd be curious too, if I was a dibbun and I had just seen my first otter, I'd want to see them close up too!" Reykur looked up and smiled. Then, he looked confused.
"I've seen stoats before! On'y , norra live ones... Once , daddy found a stoat , kidnapping baybee woodlanders, an' he killed him right derr! H'i tried to gerra closer look but mommy wouldn't let me..." Silex stared at him...scared. Skipper looked up, and blushed...
"Hey, he tried to kidnapp my little Rey!" Malum rolled her eyes.

OOC: I edited Sir Chewy's Biograhy thingy...

[Lisolette]

(ooc: Okay. I'll look at it in a minute. )

BIC: Lisolette frowned when Malum rolled her eyes. Feeling both intimadated and crest-fallen, Lisolette went over to the mouse. "...Hi."

[Malum]

The mouse looked down at her and spoke curtly.
"Hi." Malum smirked. Reykur looked at her and asked.
"What's so sunny?"
"Don't worry about him...He's nuts." Reykur looked up at the weasel, walking over to him. He smiled, and climbed up on his lap.
"You a weasel?" He asked. "Are ee nice?" Reykur suddenly saw the gleam of the many daggers on his belt, he leaned in for a closer look, and was amazed at how many he had. Reykur jumped off, and jumped back onto the stoat. He climbed up, until he was face-to-face with him.
"Hi...Sorry about earlier..." Reykur said, climbing up his face, until he sat atop his head. He bounced up, and then hung his head down to see the stoat. "You're very quiet for someone who's alive."
"I...don't...really...talk...alot.." Silex said ackwardly fidgeting with his raggedy coat. Malum spoke without looking up.
"Really? I haven't noticed..." Malum walked over to the stoat... "I'm just kidding! There's no one to be afraid of here! We're all friends here!" Silex looked at the mouse and sighed.
"Yeah, we're all friends here! I guess that's what it's called when you're grabbed from your horde, and had a dagger pressed against your throat, told to listen to some stranger, or you'll die!" Silex said, all of his feeling pouring out. Reykur jumped down from the stoat, and walked over to Slynch. The only seemly stable one right now.
"HEY! Would you rather have let me KILL you when I first saw you? Or would you rather let me give you to the crazy mouse, so he can torture you?!?!?!" Skipper yelled at the stoat.
"Yeah, well at least I'M NOT STUPID!" The stoat yelled. Skipper grabbed his dagger, and tackled the stoat. Malum sighed and yelled.
"STOP FIGHTING YOU IDIOTS!" Suddenly, they stopped, and the stoat was sitting there, tied up. Skipper stood up, and brushed his hands off, acting as if nothing happened.
"HEY! UN-TIE ME! DON'T LEAVE ME LIKE THIS! THE HORDE OF RATS AND WOLVES COULD COME BACK! AND THEN I'D BE DEAD! HELP ME!!!!" The stoat screamed. Skipper walked up, and tied a hankercheif around his mouth. Skipper looked up at the sky.
"Well, it's night-time, guess we better go to sleep..." He walked over to his wife, and layed out her sleeping bag right next to his. He then grabbed Reykur, and brought him inside, to get warm. Malum also grabbed a sleeping bag, and layed down bside the stoat. She zipped up her bag, from the frigid night air. Silex was outside, in the open, and almost wearing nothing. He shivered, as a blast of wind buffeted him.
"MPPPHHHH! HHHMMMPPPHH!" He yelled. Malum looke out at him, feeling sorry for him, yet knowing that he had it coming, with talking to Skippe like that. She got out of the sleeping bag, and grabbed an extra one from her bag. She unrolled it, and rolled Silex inside. Deep down inside, she knew that he was going to be killed tommorow by either Skipper or the Mouse, but she pushed that thought aside, as she drifted into sleep.

[Lisolette]

Slynch blinked at the otterbabe. "Sure...I'm a good weasel." He said with a shrug before staring at Silex and the beasts crowding around him. When Reykurs mother grabbed him, Slynch couldn't help but walk over to the stoat. Even he, a weasel who practically never felt a concious, felt bad for Silex, but he went inside without a thought of helping him. After curling up next to Malum (the only beast he actually trusted at the moment) he closed his eyes.

In the end, only Lisolette, who was in-between her mother and younger brother, stayed awake...She silently got up and skulked over to Slynch. Papa's probably going to kill me after this... The otter-maid thought with a frown as she reached for the weasels daggers.

[Malum]

OOC: OMG BAD LISOLETTE! BAD!

Silex woke up, at the sound of metal being un-sheathed, he wimpered silently, thinking that it was Skipper, coming to finish him off. He gulped, and tried to see who it was, but failed. Malum was sleeping in her sleeping bag, and she was dreaming.
She was walking through the forest, when she came upon St. Ninians..Suddenly, she heard a scream, and she ran towards it....There, was Lisolette, on the ground, with Slynch's dagger stuck in her. Slynch was there too, he was tied up. Skipper stood before him, and said.
"You killed my daughter! Now, I must kill you..." Skipper raised his sword, and was about to strike. When suddenly, a yell came. Malum walked in... She walked up to skipper and yelled at him.
"YOU HAVE NO PROOF THAT SLYNCH KILLED HER!" Skipper hit Malum, and she fell to the ground, holding her nose. Skipper held his sword to her throat.
"HIS DAGGER IS IN HER HEART!" Skipper raised his eyebrows. "Unless YOU framed Slynch! Or, the stoat framed both of you! Fine, I'll just kill all of you!" Skipper said, dropping his sword, and grabbing some rope, to start tieing Malum up. Then, Skipper walked off, and brought the stoat in, also tied up. Skipper raised his sword, and brought it down at Malum. She screamed, and suddenly woke up, gasping for breath, and sweating.

OOC: Do ferrets sweat?

[Lisolette]

(ooc: Personified ferrets can. )

BIC: Lisolette, unnoticing the awakened Malum, unsheathed Slynchs dagger before coming over Silex. "Hi..." She whispered, "My name is Lisolette, if you weren't listening when I came in with Mama. I...I want to help you..." The young otter-maid said with a gulp as she grabbed a strand of rope and put the dagger next to it. Silently, she sliced through the strand...

[Malum]

Silex, looked at the little otter maid, gratefull, yet scared she was going to miss the rope, and cut him. He stretched, breaking the ropes. He tore the gag off, and moved his mouth around, wincing, as he worked the cramps off. Silex looked at the little otter-maid, and smiled.
"Thanks...But, what next?" He asked, looking at the sleeping forms surrounding him. Malum was watching through her sleeping bag, and smiled. At least my dream most likely won't come true... Yet, she still felt uncomfortable watching this. She spoke up.
"Maybe you should leave, either that, or wait for Skipper to wake up." She stepped out of the sleeping bag, smiling. Silex practically jumped out of his skin, at the sudden appearence of the ferret.
"Wha'...You..Com'...Fr'm?" He studdered.
"I had a bad dream.. And I woke up to hear a dagger being un-sheathed."

~***~

Reykur was in the sleeping bag, asleep. When, he suddenly heard his father's name. He woke up, and stumbled out of the sleeping bag, seeing Malum, Silex, and his sister awake, and talking. He blinked as he noticed the stoat was un-tied. He ran over there, to see what they were doing.
"What'cha Dowin?"

[Lisolette]

Lisolette blinked at Reykur. "We're doing nothing, Reykur, go back to bed." She said before turning to the stoat. "I'd suggest running, Mr. Silex. Knowing my father and that awful mouse they'll concoct some reason to execute you." The otter-maid said with a deep frown.
