((When I spoke about the Warlord I was meaning to say Rosetail saw them go into the farm...but apparently I miss-read and they had already done that. But yes you were right, Rosetail is going to talk to the shrews near the boats.))
Rosetail twitched her tail slightly as one of the voles spoke out. She stopped in her tracks and took advantage of this to investigate the voles. They were all strongly built and had an average height, a grim look of determination flashed in the speakers voice. !He might be the leader, but then again they all look the same.~ Rosetail thought. "Ahoy there, I be Rosetail from thee north." She called out to the vole, "I be just strolling through these woods."
With an inside grin to herself she went back to look around her and her eyes settled briefly on the boats. ~Hmm..These could be useful later.~ She thought already forming a plan but as soon as the idea came she pushed it away. ~Talking first, stealing second.~ She reminded herself before looking back at the vole.

((One more thing, There's only the leader talking with Taross. The rest are with the boats. And the stream is roughly thirty yards away from the farm. Just so you know. Now who is Rosetail talking to?))

((well, she only thought that he might be the leader. She's talking to one of the two voles down by the single boat))
The squirrel was certainly a strange creature. They weren't even in the woods. Rumbalo thought silently that he might have to investigate this character further in the future, but he still had business to take care of.
"The Rivermaster went inside," the vole warrior said to the weasel as he kept his eye on the mysterious squirrel. "Do you want me to go let him know you're here?"
Rumbalo nodded. "I've got news for him," he said quietly.
"Ok," the vole said and started towards the farm house with his eye still on the squirrel.
Rumbalo noted with interest the expressions of the squirrel. He was not the most adept at reading other beasts expressions, but this squirrel seemed to possess a mischievous manner about her that he knew all too well. Could this beast be another thief? Perhaps, but it mattered not. The only real danger was if the squirrel had an accomplice. Rumbalo began to inconspicuously scan the surrounding terrain.

((Okay...That should be cleared up.)
Rosetail hesitated a moment before calling out to the vole that had spoken to her, "Hold on...I'm coming to see your Rivermaster." She called out, ~Whoever that may be.~ She added to herself as she scanned the river once more before walking after the vole. Her paws fingered her necklace nervously as she followed from a short distance, it was a habit she had never gotten rid of and decided to just forget about it. Her eyes strayed to where the weasel had been, she could not help but wonder why nobody had slayed him yet. Her mother always use to tell her about how stoats and vermin alike were as bad as rotten apples.
((Well..Not much to write..))

"You wait by the boat," the vole said sternly as he turned around to face the squirrel. He stood firm and put his hands on his hips waiting for the squirrel to turn around and head back.
Rumbalo had taken a seat and watched with interest. This squirrel was certainly after something. What there was to be found here besides food he knew not. He continued to sit and observe.

Rosetail opened her mouth to argue and was about to say something, but she quickly swallowed her words and her pride. Back home she was a known arguer and it took all her strenght not to talk back to the vole. Grimly she turned back and sent a pebble flying with a kick. Out of the corner of her eye she watched the weasel, it seemed he was observing her. She gave a mental shrug and went to plunk herself down on the grass.
While her mind was whirling, her eyes peered from one vole to the other, she took mental notes of trinkets she might be interested in. A paw-ring there or a small ear-ring.

((Okay, last thing lol Taross and Baren are still outside the house. They're in the farm itself, not the farm house. OKay... here I go.))
Taross noticed that there was a small group of creatures gathering by the boat. He noticed with interest that there was a weasel with the voles by the boat. He decided that he would see what these creatures wanted. After all, they were basically on his land.
After hours of sitting on his chair, polishing his armor, he needed to stretch. He stood up and yawned, a great bellow coming from his throat accidentally.
"YEEeeeeooorrrrgh!" The groan would have scared an Eagle away.

Baren visibly flinched at the enormous sound. He knew he should have expected it from such a large beast, but it was still frightening. Looking at Taross, Baren was concerned at first that the wolverine might have seen something that had ignited his rage, but then the slightly embarrassed look on the former warlord's face told a different tale. Baren hid an inward smile.
Then he looked down towards boat and noticed the same as Taross. Rumbalo the thief was sitting there as well as an unknown squirrel which instantly sparked his interest. One of his vole warriors was approaching them, but the sound of Taross' stretching had caused his approach to falter. Nodding to Taross, the Rivermaster began walking towards the vole saying, "Fear not."
A moment later with his eyes still on the massive wolverine, the vole warrior answered, "Rumbalo has news for you. And that squirrel says she wants to talk to you."
"Hmmm," Baren mused aloud as his warrior stood to attention. "Taross, let me introduce you to my friend Rumbalo. He is that weasel you see down there."

"Ah, more creatures to make acquaintances with," Taross said as he strode over to the boat. He secretly hoped that the squirrel and weasel had something interesting to say. Taross was half-way to the boat when he called to the new creatures, "Hello! My name is Taross. I hope that you have time to converse!"

Rosetail flinched visibly as a booming voice called out, she quickly turned around her hand straying towards her foil. In front of her stood a giant creature she identified to be a wolverine. She quickly closed her mouth she noticed had hung open as she stared the wolverine up and down. After a moment of hesitation she glanced up, "Ahoy there, I be Rosetail Mintpetal from the far reaches of the north." she said, her voice baring the smallest hint of an accent.
"How do 'ye be?" Rosetail asked to the wolverine.

"I am feeling very fine," Taross answered. "I hear the northern regions are beautiful." He wanted to make friendly conversation with anybeast near his land. And there were now plenty of beats to do so with. He turned his attention to the weasel, who was sitting by seeming to have something on his mind. It was strange, the last time he saw a vermin, he had punched its lights out and thrown it into a tree when he found it attacking a young mouse maid. "Who might you be?" he asked the weasel.

As the weasel looked blankly up at the big creature before him, Baren stepped in to introduce him. "This is my friend Rumbalo," he said with a hopeful smile. The thief's expression was that of a criminal caught red-handed, just like the Rivermaster had met him the first time. When the weasel met an authoritative figure like Taross, he always seemed to get anxious or something similar. So like normal, Baren would have to loosen him up to be more open to conversation.
With Baren smiling, Rumbalo relaxed a little. "I act as a scout for Rivermaster Baren Krakel and his clan," he said as he stood up and gave a slight bow to the fearsome creature before him. "I have news for the Rivermaster."
The vole nodded and turned to Taross. "I hope you wouldn't mind if I conversed for a short time with Rumbalo over there in private," he said pointing to some open land about sixty feet away.

Rosetail kept shooting furtive glances at Taross, she couldn't help it...she had never seen any beast this big. She told herself to snap out of it and focus on the ongoing conversation again. After a moment's thought she looked up at Taross, "Why do 'ye came here Lord Taross?" She said, remembering the wolverine's rank at the last minute. ~Better fake being friendly and have a better chance of some booty later.~ She thought to herself.
((Hmm...Not much else to write about..-.-))

"I come from the far, far south. Those lands were harsh... but full of glory..." Taross said with a sense of nostalgia. He loved his farming life, but he longed for adventure and glory. His earlier days were filled with victory after victory in battle. He was known far and wide as a great Warlord. But now, no one even knew his name. At least near Southsward he made a little fame.
He decided that as soon as a chance of adventure came to him, he would seize it immediately. Taross was approaching middle age, and a very old creature can't go on adventures... This gave Taross some confusion about what to do. But he took heart in the fact that he wasn't old yet, and he wasn't going to get old for a long, long time! He promised himself that age would never get in his way. He would live the most full life he possibly could.
"So Miss Mintpetal," he said, "Have you heard any interesting news lately?"

Rosetail smiled to herself, "Nobody's been calling me Miss since me young age." She said to Taross. She flicked her tail as a small shudder ran across her back, a small sigh escaped her mouth. "And as for news...well, there's been a few vermin hordes in the east that I've run across." she said, not mentioning the fact she had stolen from them 3 nights in a row.
