"I see no objections to letting you stay, Mister Darkpaw." Gemma nodded. "We are also travelers and lay no claim to this land. You are as free to stay in this place as we are. Although," she gave a little smile. "You may be forced to endure a rehearsal of our performance after we are finished eating. We don't come upon a live practice audience everyday."
((sorry Scorch we had to delete one of your posts. We decided it would be easer to just delete the posts with tibb in them rather than try to write him out. Could you please post again? thanks))

((No problem))
Moonlight grinned "Please, call me Moonlight. 'Mr. Darkpaw' makes me sound like I'm old or something. Have you heard that that tribe of runty weasels the Flitchaye have disbanded? I never thought that would happen any time soon." Moonlight looked down at the ground for a second and then back up. "I'll be glad to watch a rehersal. I don't get to see much of anything humerous these days. With so much trouble about, an honest wolf mercernary has trouble getting work anymore."

"Alright then Moonlight it is," Gemma smiled and clapped the wolf on the back. "You're in for a treat. This troupe is the toast of Southsward." She left him to eat his meal and turned to discuss the rehearsal plans with the other players. "Florian, when you're done stuffing your face could you give us a rendition of the avoiding bath number?"

Taure's tail wagged in contentment, and she giggled happily at the mention of Florian's infamous song. Personally, it was one of her favorites. It always made her laugh.

"Depends on the time--" The male hare said through a mouthful, spraying bread crumbs all over the ground in front of Gemma's feet. With a groan of delight he grabbed a second serving of the blind fox's cooking. Both of his brown ears standing stock straight he decided to give himself more time to eat. "Besides Gemma Best tis always saved for last and all tha' wot." Putting on his most pleading face, he completely forgot about how that sentence also carried a insult.
Grinning from ear to ear he laid his bowl down, and stared up at Gemma. The otter strong pair could go first, then the acrobats, and then maybe he would tink of helping Gemma with her act. Being co owner of the delightful troupe was hard after all, its not like all you did was sleep and eat!

Gemma rolled her eyes at the famine faced creature. Why she had ever allowed him to be co-owner of her troupe was beyond her. He seemed to think it meant he could get away with anything. "I suppose we could have the otters go first," she said through clinched teeth glaring at the hare. Then she turned away from him, "or Taure would you like to take a turn at telling this poor beast what his future holds?" She got her own share of the food and sat back to watch her creatures preform. "You're next though, Flor, you can't get out of it that easily." she whispered to him in a low growl.

At that point, a large Badger walked by the troupe. "Ooh, hey! A traveling troupe!" he said to himself. "This could be fun." Batou had been looking for a new job, since he left guarding Redwall Abbey. Both he and the members of Redwall agreed that he wasn't really needed there in this time of peace. "Excuse me. It looks like you're about to rehearse. You mind if I watch?"

Gemma looked up at the sound of the deep voice of the male badger. Her bowl of food was laid aside, forgotten, as she primped her fur. Then she stood, smoothed the wrinkles out of her dress, and walked over to the newcomer. "Yes, we were just about to begin, and you're more than welcome to watch," she smiled. "May I ask for whom we have the pleasure of preforming?"

"The name's Batou Thicktree. I used to be a guard for Redwall, but we both decided that a badger like myself was overkill at a time like this," Batou explained. "Who's food is this?" he asked, pointing to what he didn't realize was Gemma's bowl.

"Oh, well, er, yours, I guess, if you want it, Mister Thicktree," She smiled her most beguiling smile. "And just take a seat. The otters were just about to, er, do their thing." Gemma sat next to the spot she had indicated for him and looked up at him expectantly. It was as if she had forgotten that anyone else in the camp existed in the presence of a male of her own species.

Batou smiled as he sayed to the female Badger, "You can just call me Batou. Everyone at Redwall did. And what may I call you?" he asked as he sat down in the indicated seat. "And also, where can I set this thing?" he asked as he unstrapped his large Zweihander sword.

"Batou," she repeated the name. "I'm Gemma Stripesong. Everybeast just calls me Gemma." "Wow," her eyes grew large at the sight of the sword. "I guess you can set that thing just about anywhere you want. Nobeast is gonna flippin' argue with ya about that."

Taure walked over quietly with a large plate that was heaped with food for the badger. She stared at him with unseeing eys for a moment before smiling kindly and holding the plate out to him.

"This is Taure," Gemma told the other badger. "She's our fortune teller, not to mention healer and a fine cook t'boot. Taure this is Batou, formerly of Redwall. He's come to watch our rehearsal." Gemma had registered the blind fox's presence enough to make the introduction but she never took her eyes off the male badger for a moment.

Thanks, Gemma. I'll just put it right under our chairs. Batou slid the huge sword underneath his and Gemma's chair. "What kind'a show am I lookin' at here?" he asked. "hey, my compliments to the cook. Good stuff!" he said to Taure.
