Vrelt Darkfang strode silently into the room, flanked by a weasel and two foxes. He glanced around the bar and noticed Kolia. A slow smile crept onto his face as he recognized the weaselmaid. But he simply walked up to the bartender, "I'll take a some ale." The bartender stared at Vrelt for a moment then poured him a glass of ale, "Here's yer ale sir." Vrelt took a sip of the ale and turned to his men, "Wait outside with the others." The soldiers carried out his orders without hesitation. Vrelt turned back to Kolia and smiled wickedly, "So Kolia, did you miss me?"

"You don't possibly think I'd stay in here." Kolia looked around again at the walls and ceiling of the place, feeling as if they were closing in on her. She wanted to be back outside no matter how cold it was. She could build a fire for warmth. She knew he was right it was getting close to time for the whelps to be born. They had been telling her that for a week now. She had wanted Roask to be there when they were born. She wanted to give them to their father. For him to be the first to see them and hold them. If only they could see him alive they would know that she hadn't killed him. But she hadn't been able to find him and she was going to have to allow them to come into the world without him. She would not however allow them to be born in any sort of building. They would be born free not walled in by any sort of creatures, good or vermin. She hoped the healer Ally spoke of had a tent where they could at least be out of the wind and weather. Then she heard the voice speak her name. She didn't have to look to know who had spoken but she spun around to address him, "Hello, ferret."

Everyone now focused their attention upon the newest arrival, eyeing him with curiosity. "I suppose you two know each other?" The weasel half-inquired, also looking back at Vrelt before returning his gaze to Kolia. So she wanted to go outside? Why? It was freezing. At the very least she could stay someplace warm...

Ally shuddered at the idea of going back out into the cold. She had grown up at Salamandastron where it was always warm as long as there was a fire going in the great forge. She had hoped that Kolia's aversion to the indoors was only limited to Redwall and that they might be able to stay here in this place for a while even if the company was less than desirable but it seemed that she would not get so lucky. She looked now at the ferret. She had never seen him before nor did she like the look at him. His presence seemed to aggravate Kolia and an vexed pregnant weasel was not somebeast she wanted to encounter.
"I had the unfortunate opportunity to travel with Mr. Darkfang, yes." Kolia answered the weasel while still staring venomously at Vrelt.

Vrelt sipped his ale and smiled, "What do you mean "Unfortunate opportunity"? You know if it wasn't for me you'd still be stuck in Redwall." There was a veiled threat behind these words. Vrelt looked at Ally for a moment, then turned his attention back to Kolia, "You still haven't answered my question, did you miss me?" He smiled wickedly.

Kolia gave the slightest flinch at the mention of the abbey. Her paw from the moment she had heard the ferret's voice had been hovering over her dagger hilt. Now her paw was shaking and she grasped the weapon if for no other reason but to still it. Despite all this her voice remained calm, "You must have a very high opinion of yourself to think that I would have even thought of you since we last met."

Vrelt laughed, "Yeah, I guess I do have a high opinion of myself." He sipped the ale, "You know if I was going to try to kill you I would have done it already. So you need to stop getting mad whenever I talk to you. And you can take your paw away from that dagger."

"Mad? I'm not mad. I just don't like you." Despite what she said that insane light was once again playing around her eyes. She was about to tell him something else, when she had another sharp false labor pain. Kolia cried out and grasped at her stomach. "No! Not here!"

Vrelt laughed, "I wonder why?" He was about to sip his ale when Kolia cried out; he dropped it on the ground and it shattered. "Great, you caused me to drop my ale." Then he looked up at Kolia who was holding her stomach. "That's just great, looks like those twins are coming an' we don't have a healer. Yeah this is great." He stepped toward Kolia and put his paw on her shoulders, steadying her.

"Get Yur paws off me!" Kolia pushed Vrelt away from herself. The pain had subsided again. "They won't come until I say so!" She informed him as if she had control of the matter. She turned back to Ally and the weasel. "Where do we find this healer?" She eyed the door ready to get out of this place and sorry she had come in, in the first place.

"The one in town's down the street." The weasel remarked, apparently a bit edgy around the slightly egotistical Vrelt. He'd better learn that he was in his territory, or the weasel would have to teach him the hard way. Picking up the dagger he left in the table, he looked back towards Kolia.

"Come on, marm." Ally looked back and forth between the weasels and the ferret. "Jus' down the bloomin' street 'e says." "Right," Kolia answered the captive hare. She turned and headed back towards the door. "You'll show the way?" she looked back over her shoulder at weasel. "What's your name anyway?"

The weasel nodded. "Sergei." The weasel said with just a hint of pride. "Sergei Ramikov." He moved through the crowd to follow them and show them the healer's residence. "Go ahead, I'll catch up." he said to Kolia and Ally as he reached them, wishing to talk to Derek and Antra about something.

Kolia raised a paw in understanding and headed for the door. Ally stood there for a moment longer and closed her eyes, dreading the thought of going back out into the cold. Then the lead rope pulled against her paws and she moved forward. "Come," Kolia called to her imperiously. She opened the door and a blast of icy wind blew in to the bar. "Sergei," she nodded at him. Kolia didn't generally say thank you, the nod would have to do for now.

Sergei returned the gesture, then as they left he tured about to find Derek and Antra.
"Yer growin' soft, Ramikov." A sinister voice spoke up, that of a grey fox, laying a paw on his shoulder to whirl the weasel around. It obviously wasn't Antra. By now some of the more disgruntled members of the bar were gathered around Sergei. The ferret and the fox were nowhere to be seen. Sergei spun about, shrugging off the paw with a touch of anger. "What's it to you, Nira?" He growled out the beast's last name.
"I think it might be time to change a bit o' leadership 'round here..." The fox put a paw to his cutlass, which was thrust into his belt. The others around the weasel were reaching to do the same. But before the fox's blade could completel clear the scabbard, Sergei had his dirks out in both paws, hitting the fox with the pommel of one and tackling him onto the floor, pressing the cold steel against the fox's neck. "Don't even try." He said, still growling, the rest of the beasts now heavily discouraged to draw their swords, least they recieve the same treatment. Rather than killing the over-confident fox, he merely slammed the other dirk into his forehead, knocking him unconscious. Getting up amidst stares of fear, the weasel calmed himself and went outside, sheathing his dirks.
