((It's okay.))
"Oh, fine. It's just that this cold's getting to me." He gestured with a paw out to the vast expanse of snow-covered woodlands. He then turned to Steelwing, who sighed at the sight of yet another letter to be delivered.
"More lettas?" "Sorry, Steelwing, but this one's fairly important. It goes to a beast named Rheiuven." The bird rolled his head to one side. "Thassa odd name..." "I know. Here..." He hands over the letter to the bird, who put it in its beak. "...Once you come back, I'll make sure you get a nice, long break. Deal?" The bird nodded once to the squirrel, then again to the Skipper, then took flight after a few moments, soaring above the walltops to do his job.

"Lots of letters today mate?" Rapid chuckled. It was getting pretty cold out on the wall, but what had to be done had to be done. He watched the little sparrow fly off into the distance and smiled. That sparrow be a good bird, always dilivering letters and what not, He thought.

The elder nodded. "The council has much to do these days. Why, sometimes I think we all run a mile or more, moving papers about and such before Steelwing or Nightclaw sends them off." He grinned. "I suppose it keeps everyone fit..."

"Yore right, 'specially with all this cold weather. Come now, my shifts done; lets get inside out of this cold weather," Rapid lead the squirrel down the ramparts. The chilly winter wind blew pretty hard on Castle Floret, considering it was on a hill. As they were going in a light snow began to fall, casting a blanket around Southsward.

As the wind blew snow in his face, Deimar shivered. "I'm all for that." He replied, folding his arms and turning about to walk from the walltops. It was nearly lunch anyhow... He sighed, looking forward to some hot vegetable soup and his comfortable reading chair.

The Skipper of the Southern Streams led the squirrel into Mess Hall. "Looks like were late for lunch," He commented. "Wait 'ere Deimar, I've got to go post another sentry," Rapid left the squirrel and went to a corner of the room where a burly otter was sitting. "Riverudder, it's yore turn for sentry duty," Riverudder stood up and saluted. "Yes, sir!" He marched out the door.
Castle Floret had a much stricter military code than Redwall. They were also armed at all times, and dealt with stuff in the surrounding area, unlike Redwall who mainly kept to itself in times of peace.
Rapid meandered his way back to Deimar. "Now where were we, what were ye plannin' to eat?"

"Well..." Deimar paused thoughtfully, "Probably some vegetable soup, with some bread and elderberry cordial too... That'd be nice." He adds wistfully, feeling his stomach growl softly. Sure, Deimar was old, but that didn't mean he lost his appetite.

Rapid showed Diemar to a seat at the long table in Mess Hall. Cooks were bustling about, bringing out the Southsward Cusine. Chatter was everywhere, talking about the days events and such. The creatures of Southsward were consuming food at a rapid rate. "Hoi, Chef! Bring me some of that 'otroot soup!" The Skipper called for his favorite and most spicy dish in the Castle.
