"Maybe we could go out and join them," Tamar smiled, "I mean after we've eaten of course. And if you feel up to it." She began to babble self consciously, "I mean if you don't that's alright. I just thought maybe. . . If you want to . . . it might be fun." She blushed thinking her idea must sound stupid to the warrior squirrel.

Instead of raising an eyebrow in question, Silas chuckled. "Oh, I'd like to, that's for sure. But I'm sure I'll have to get to work soon..." He sighed at the thought, then, as he opened his mouth to change the subject to a lighter one, they arrived at the Great Hall.

Once again it felt like the eyes of everybeast were upon them. Tamar's tone became more businesslike, "Looks like they've set up the breakfast line over there." She led the injured squirrel over to the serving tables. She tried to remain composed outwardly while her insides leaped at the idea of going out to play in the snow with Silas.

Silas once again adopted his 'fearless leader' feeling, so as to carry it over from the meeting just a few minutes ago. Because of this, he stood a bit taller, though not leaving Tamar's height as he was still holding onto her. "Let's get a spot before we're last..." He said unnecessarily, if only to respond to the squirrelmaid. He himself did not know of the public opinion towards Tamar, so he didn't pay any mind to the glances they had been recieving all morning.

The job of standing in the buffet line and filling a plate was made difficult by trying to keep Silas up on his paws. She had the brief thought of asking him if he wanted to sit down and she would just bring him a plate but she didn't really want to be apart from him for that long. Selfishly she struggled to hold both of their plates and fill them with helpings of each of the types of food he liked. When she completely missed the bowl with the ladle of oatmeal she was trying to pour into it she couldn't help but laugh at herself and the whole situation. "I don't know how I'm ever going to get all of this back to the table for us to eat it."

"Well, I still have my left paw." Silas offered a solution, holding out the paw to hold a plate. He smiled as he did so, though not upon Tamar's inability to hold him up and serve food at the same time. It was, yet again, unexplainable. He looked past Tamar to the items on their plates and the buffet.

"Alright," she smiled handing him a very full plate. One mischievous scone kept trying to roll off the edge. She picked it up and put it into his mouth giggling. "That ought to do it." Then she picked up the other dishes and led him to a place to sit. She laid out the dishes on the table and helped him to take his place on the bench beside her. "There we did it. Great teamwork."

Silas, still smiling around the scone in his mouth, sat down. "Mmmm-hmmm!" He agreed, nodding emphatically. Taking a bite out of the scone in his mouth, the squirrel gulped it down in a flash. "We should really get bigger plates..." He commented, eyeing a Hunnymole as his next victim. The squirrel was very partal to them.

Tamar chose to start with a warm slice of nutbread spread with raspberry jam and meadow cream. She rather daintily took a bite and then dabbed at the corners of her mouth with a serviette. Then she looked at Silas and giggled again. He had honey on his nose. She wiped it off with the napkin, "You're worse than the dibbuns."

Silas sneezed after Tamar wiped his nose. He then adopted a mock serious tone. "I beg your pardon, miss. At least I don't crawl under the table like they do." He then grinned at the thought. A grown squirrel like him, trying to fit under the table in the Great Hall. He wiped his claws free of honey with his own napkin, looking upon the squirrelmaid once more.

"Why ever not?" Tamar joked, "It makes a wonderful fort." She grinned thinking of all the times she and Saol had played fort under these very tables when they were dibbuns. She took another bite of her nut bread unintentionally getting some of the meadowcream on her own nose.

Silas smirked, first at what Tamar had said, second at the spot on her nose from the meadowcream. He chuckled and reached over. "Heh... Here. Y'got somethin'..." He wiped the cream off rather gently, especially for a warrior. "Worse than dibbuns, aye?" He commented in the same joking manner, still looking at the squirrelmaid.

Tamar was really starting to enjoy this. She had nearly forgotten that there was any other beast in the room, when she heard a voice across the hall shout, "Why don' ye just kiss 'er?!" Tamar blushed scarlet beneath her fur. Several other beasts echoed the request or laughed, most notably the deep gruff voice that was unmistakably that of the Mother Abbess, "Hurr Hurr. Give 'ur a goodun'. She could stan' t' be gurtly kissed, burr aye."

Silas, who was near a dreamlike state as well, fell back to reality. He blushed an equal shade of red under his fur, despite the winter outside it made him feel warm. Identifying the first beast that spoke up as Tom, the best he could bring himself to say was, "Uh..." glancing back at Tamar after seeing the mouse. The thing was, he would most certainly do it... If he had the fortitude to in front of the entire abbey. And that's what failed him. So he sat and hoped that his insides would stop churning about like a fish in a bucket.

Tamar looked around to find the source of the voice. She threw Saol a dirty look when she found her. She turned back to Silas, "You don't have to. . ." she began but Saol interrupted her. "Et bees a direct order frum yur, Abbess, Boi okie, Hurr hurr."
