Moonlight stared at the strange tableu. One wolf knew where the other was, and everybody knew where the fox was. Moonlight could stand it no longer, so he ripped off the vine and howled long and loud at the moon. He quickly moved from the spot that he had howled from to avoid more detection.

Tairan decided to head back to the clearing. When he got back, he stepped out into the moonlight so that he was clearly visible and held his paws up to show that he meant no harm.

Allarin was still standing unmoving just as his sister clamped a paw on his shoulder. With a silent yelp he turned his head to the almost invisible body of his night oclored sister. She was smiling! It was odd to see her smile when they were alone, just the two of them. Tension rippled off the male wolf's body as he moved aside and allowed his older sister to step in front.
"Hello there, may I ask what all ye beasts are doing out on such a fine night?That includes the fourth howler as well." They were rather close to Redwall and she didn't like danger near her home. Of course none of them had the unwashed scent accredited to vermin. SO they should have been alright..but then shwe had thought the same of her Uncle. Who happened to be one of the worst pirates on the seas.

Atu knew that all the wolves could see him, and he also knew he couldn't see all of them. This meant that if one or all of them wanted to attack him, they would have already. He put his paws up too. "I am Atu Brightpaw. I am a mercenary who was staying with Tarian here for the night.

Tarian shook his head and clapped a paw to his brow at his companion's words. I don't think telling them you're a mercinary is going to help much, Atu. He then turned to the two wolves. My name is Tarian. I'm out here because I'm searching for friends of mine. I don't suppose you've seen them, though. Four otters. We were all out foraging when we all got seperated. He set his weapons on the ground in front of the two wolves in a gesture of reassurance and motioned for Atu to do the same. I assure you both, we come in peace and mean no harm to anybeast.

At that, Atu dropped his weapons at his feet as well. "Tarian speaks for me as well. I also mean you no trouble. I'm just staying with Tarian and helping him find his friends."

"Mercenary isn't necessarily a bad profession." Selesa mumbled, under her thick fur the red of a blush was evident. She had been a mercenary for a whie there, and still didn't know if she had quit or taken a really long break. Of course almost everyone knew it to be the first. "Putting down your weapons in front of two amed beasts is a stupid practice is ti not?"
Allarin sucked in a large strand of air, trying to discern any unsavory semlls from these two, besides the smell of wood and pine needles. Nothing.

Tarian shrugged nonchalantly. 'Tis just to show ye that we mean no 'arm. 'Tis also a gesture of trust seeing as we're obviously trusting you not to attack us.

Talking to the other wolf Atu said "Normally I would agree with you, but since I'm outnumbered, I think it would be better to try to not give you a reason not to attack rather than hope I come out on top in a fight. So in this case, as dumb as it is, it's the smartest thing I can do right now."

"SMart words there both of ye." Selesa said, staring oddly at the tensioned Allarin. What was his problem today? He had been fine earlier, second he heard the howls he had insstantly been on edge. What was he expected a creature they couldn't handle?Please, they were two good warriors that together could pobaly match a male badger in strength,no need for him to be worried. "Well tis Selesa. I hope you boys don't plan on jabbing me with a dagger the scond I turn around."
Nearby Allarin nodded his approval silently. So just because htere were a few males about she didn't lose it like some females, his mother especially.

"I heard two howls besides Tarian's, and I noticed your friend hasn't said anything. Why is that? And just as importantly, where is that other wolf?" (OOC: Seriously, where is Scorch?"

((Right here man)) Moonlight moved into the light. He left his blades sheathed and stared at the others. "Now what are the odds of running into three other wolves in the same night?" he said to the others. Moonlight smiled kindly. "Sorry, but I never drop my weapons, even around friendly beasts. Which brings me to my next question, are you good, evil, or something else?"

"We're both good," Atu said. "I can speak for Tarian on that one, too. Though I'm a mercenary, I almost exclusively take on jobs that involve guarding travelers and such from bandits."

"Oh, I swear you'll never hear him utter a sound, much to his own despair of course." This was a gentle way of saying her brother hadn't the ability to speak. Nodding her shaggy black head as Monnlight emerged she clenched the pommel of her sword tighter, obviously agreeing about the keeping of weapons on one's person.
"We're Redwall beasts ourselves." Selesa piped up, hoping to inform the all male party of herself a bit more, while making her allegiance obvious.

"I see. I've worked for them before. I like Redwall." Since it seemed no one cared whether he did or didn't drop carry his weapons on him, Atu decided to pick his sword and bow up from off the ground.
