A rather unusual pair of traveling mates wandered through the supposedly haunted ruins of the old Abbey, Loamhedge. A young rat and a rather scrawny looking cat wandered around, searching for ghosts in the old ruins.

Matteo was searching around the area of Loamhedge, the reason being that it was the closest place to where he started on his journey after leaving his tribe. He walked around sliently in the area, since the place had long been abandoned and it was usually home to brigands and other unruly beasts. So upon stealthly creeping about, he was surprised to notice a rat and a cat walking around the ruins. He wasn't one to discriminate, being that his adopted brother was a rat, but knowing the behaviour of both beasts he determined they would probably not do him any harm. And if they did... well they would both have to answer to his sword, "the bane of evil".

The cat's ears perked as he tilted his nose into the wind. The rat's fur on the back of his neck prickled as he was overcome with the sensation of being watched. The cat turned toward where he guessed the mouse to be and stared hard, trying to find him.

Matteo laughed under his breath. The two beasts seemed as though to tense up, so he knew they weren't going to cause him harm. Jumping up from the brush, he said to them. "Hey you two over there! Are you in need of some help?"
It wasn't really a funny joke, but Matteo thought it was. Perhaps they would be afraid of this mouse armed with a sword and shield jumping out of the grass... maybe not.

The cat was so startled the he fell backwards and tumbled head over tail when he tripped on a rock. The rat merely turned and stared at the newcomer with his two different colored eyes, his left being purple with a scar over it and his right being green.

(Sorry for not posting yesterday, I wasn't feeling very well.)
Laughing aloud at the cat, Matteo made his way towards the two beasts and spoke up saying. "Look at that, a cat startled by a mouse. Now I've seen everything. The name's Matteo, and I noticed the way you two were looking at the ruins of Loamhedge. Do you know the legend behind this place?"
Perhaps they did, and perhaps they didn't. Matteo knew one of the legends, but he simply thought it was a tall tale made up by his grandmother to frighten the dibbuns. Suddenly, the sky began to darken slightly, and the wind picked up more. Maybe it was more than a story afterall...

The cat laughed nervously and scratched the back of his neck. I'm scared of just about everything ter be honest. My friend Wolfie brought me here to help me get over that a bit. The rat nodded his agreement. As it suddenly darkened and the wind started picking up, both looked around warily. [OOC: It's fine. I hope you're feeling better.]

(Thanks, and yes I'm feeling much better.)
Soon the sky began to get very dark, however the wind stayed the same for the moment. Chuckling again, Matteo spoke out and said, "Well don't worry about all this, it just looks like a storm is brewing. We should head into the ruins to take shelter."
Motioning for the two of them to follow him, Matteo made his way into the ruined abbey to find a place to take refuge from the storm. He still didn't believe in the stories his grandmother told him however, perhaps something in the ruins would change his mind.

Both creatures shrugged at each other and followed the mouse curiously. They'd never met a mouse before and were both very curious about him. They couldn't help but wonder if he believed the legends surrounding the old ruins. They certainly did.

"Come now, nothing to be afraid of." Then finding a suitable place to make an encampment, having not only a form of a roof, but three walls making part of the wall resemble a cave. "Aha, this looks like a good spot to wait out the storm." At that moment, the rains began to fall in torrents. They made it not a moment too soon, now they would be able to dry off.
"So what brings you two to this area? They say there are ghosts around here. Not that I believe it though, but surely you're not hear searching for them?" Settling himself down against the wall, he put his rucksack on the ground and took out some berries he had collected earlier. Handing them to the two beasts he said "It's not much, but we may as well have something to eat while we're here. Oh, I almost forgot. I never asked what your names were."

The both looked at each other and then looked back at the mouse. The cat spoke first. We are here looking for them. Wolfie here thought it would toughen me up so I agreed. My name's Toboe. What's your name?

"The name's Matteo. I've just left my tribe, in search of adventure. It seems as though it's found me." Taking a bite from the berry, he looked out at the wilderness before him. The rain was still falling hard, and now the wind began to make even the trees move. "Oh dear, it's getting rough out there. We may have to spend the night here. Don't worry Toboe, even if there are ghosts here, I'll handle them for you."
It was mighty odd though, a cat frightened of things. Matteo had knew of some cats, fearsome beasts they were. At least in a mouse's perspective they were. But Matteo had not really the need to fear cats. He simply stayed out of their way, and they didn't bother him. Though to say Matteo was never afraid would be an overstatement. Fear was something that drove him however, to become stronger. Rather than something which hindered him.

Toboe's ears lowered at the comment, and he stared at the ground sadly. There's actually a good reason for it.... Wolfie nodded in agreement and stroked Toboe's headfur soothingly.

"It'll be okay. Nothing is going to harm you or us. And even if they try, I'll make sure everything goes all well." The wind whipped at the entrance to the cavern. Wraping his robe about him tighter, Matteo responded. "It's getting chilly, let's move further back into the cave. We won't be so cold that way. When the rain eases up I'll gather see about fetching some wood from the forest to make a fire."

Both creatures nodded and moved further into their little shelter. Toboe eventually slunk toward the front of the shelter and peeked around outside to see if he could see anything interesting.
