Mari nodded and smiled kindly. She knew what he was referring to. Even after that. I know you were only defending yourself. 'Sides, personally, I think that ferret deserved what he got.

Ghost would've smiled in return despite the topic being discussed, and instead grasped her paw in return. He grew silent for a bit again before responding, "I suppose you're right."

Mari nodded and squeezed his paw lightly. It's the only explanation I can think of. It looked like self defence to me. Even if it was something else, it doesn't make you a bad creature. Just remember that.

"I will." Ghost replied, still looking back at Mari with a shadow of doubt. But even then, that doubt slowly faded away as the otter reassured him. He sighed, feeling his paw being squeezed a bit more, and tried to relax. Hopefully Rio would show up unharmed...

Rio can take care of himself. He'll be just fine. I'm sure he'll be back soon. As soon as she finished speaking, Rio strode back into their makeshift "camp" carrying an armfull of plants and herbs, some firewood, and a few canteens full of fresh water.

Ghost nodded at the approaching otter. "Hey Rio." He greeted him, relief somewhat evident on his features. If Rio was caught by that horde, Ghost could never forgive himself. He had to help these beasts, if only to feebly attempt to repay them. At this point, he eyed the supplies the otter brought back. "Seems like you got a good haul there." He remarked.

Rio looked down at his armfull of stuff and nodded with a smile. We're gunna need it. I have a feeling we're gunna be here awhile. You took some pretty heavy damage, mate.

Ghost blinked again. "Well, give me a day or two, and I could start travelling again... I just need a little rest." He said. Most of the fox's injuries, while drawing blood, weren't all that deep, save for the dagger wound on his right side. Again, the fox silently cursed the thief for attacking him at all.
What cornered beasts'll do...

Try not to move around too much. I don't want those wounds to reopen themselves. Especially the one on your right side. I actually had to stitch that shut before it would stop bleeding.

Ghost sighed again, in resentful agreement, shifting about a little to obtain a more comfortable position. "Guess I'll get some rest, then." He told the ottermaid, putting his paws back at his sides and letting sleep overtake him once more, slowly but surely as the clouds rolled by overhead.
OOC: I was planning for another time-warp, when Ghost's napping you could have Rio and Mari talking about him or something. Just a suggestion.

OOC: IDK, just to spice it up a bit. Prolonged conversation without any interesting topics being discussed can really be a drag in an RP. If the characters are asking each other their history and such, its good, but if they're just sitting there talking and doing things repetitively, it gets... yeah... I don't mean to be rude or hold your roleplay skills in doubt, it's just that these things happen to everyone, and I'm just trying to avoid the molassas-like state threads seem to drop into sometimes.

So what do we do now? We can't travel with Ghost in this state. We'll have to wait until he's well enough to travel and either hope we can find the others afterwords or hope that they find us while we're still here. Then we can set out toward the coast once we find 'em.

OOC: A few hours later...
Meanwhile Ghost slept on, dreaming about some event or other. As were the nature of dreams, it was thrown off the path of reality. Ghost found himself running down a long dark corridor lined by cells, a prison guard shouting and running after him. He felt small, helpless, though he was nearing the stairway to the exit. But his paws slowed of their own accord, everything moved in slow motion as he looked up the flight of stairs at a fox not unlike himself. In fact, he appeared so similar...
Before Ghost could think upon this more, he looked behind himself, the guard changing into a dark, shadowy figure. Vulpuz, the lord of Vulpinic Hell, was coming to take his life as the other fox watched at the top of the stairs.
"Hey!" He shouted in desperation as the other fox closed the door at the top of the stairway, which seemed to grow longer as each second passed. Vulpuz crept nearer, his face shrouded in shadow, cloak flapping behind him, a bony paw reaching for his throat. He cried out as the paw was about to wrap around his neck and break it like a twig,
"NOOOO!"
Then, all went black, then light as he opened his eyes and sat bolt upright, ignoring his injuries. He realized he was in a cold sweat, and that he was still with the otters in Mossflower. His breathing subsided and his paws stopped shaking.

A large black wolf was sitting next to the fox, watching him curiously and fell backwards in surprise when he bolted upright suddenly. The other three otters were laughing. Among them was the newcomer, a large pure white otter.
