"Aye watch out there lad, she'll teach ya.... But what you want to learn is how to sing in a bass voice." He laughed again, perhaps the young lad wasn't sure he was joking. The laugh would hopefully be reassuring to him.
Walking towards Abbess Saol, William whispered to her. "Ma'am, praps I can speak to ye in private about somethin' important?"

Osiah grinned shyly and blushed lightly under his fur which he hoped she didn't see. I wouldn't mind joining your troop. I usually wander anyways so it wouldn't be too different.

"Burr, aye, Maister Brock," the little molemaid nodded up at the badger. "Ee go oop to ee loibary."
Gemma smiled, pretending not to notice the young one's embarrassment. He was a big beast but couldn't possibly be out of his teen seasons, probably around the same age she was when she had fallen in love with William all those seasons ago. Then she looked at him as if sizing him up. "Well I don't know. You'll have to prove yourself. I don't let just anybeast into my troupe."

Osiah's ears perked happily as he nodded understandingly. What do ye want me to do to prove myself? I'll do anything you ask, or at least I'll do my best.

Gemma turned a bit more serious when Osiah said he would do anything she asked. She believed that he truly would. "Now there's no need for all that." The look in the young beasts eye reminded her of something. More than one male badger had given her that look. William used to look at her like that. Of course she'd loved it then, enjoyed the power she had over him. She'd realized that it was a power she could always control. Bloodwrath beasts were known for being passionate in other areas than battle and Gemma had very nearly figured this out the hard way. "I'll have to think about it." She took a step back away from the young beast. For all his few seasons he was still head and shoulders taller than she and if his passions were aroused she knew she couldn't match him for strength.

Osiah's head tilted to the side in curiosity, but he nodded anyways. Alright. Take all the time you need. I don't have plans to leave the Abbey for at least a month or so at the moment.

Listening to the Abbess, a slight nod came from William. He made his way to the stairway, and proceeded to go up them. The realising he'd never been in Redwall before, he laughed and said to Saol. "Oh dear, I don't think I know how to get to the library. I think praps you better lead the way."
Laughing to himself, and then shaking his head for being so silly. It was a while since he actually had contact with any beasts. No wonder he wasn't acting normal, he was making up for lost time.

"Roight this way, zurr." A smile crinkled the tiny black eyes of the little molemaid. She lifted the hem of her habit an inch or two off the ground so she would trip over it going up the stairs and led him up, past the dormitories and into the area that had once been just attic space and was now a fine library. There were only a couple beasts here, a middle-aged mousemum dusting the shelves and an old hedgehog, glasses perched on his nose perusing a book of recipes for strong drinks. It was quiet here and Saol knew that the badger would be able to tell her what ever he needed to without the inconvenience of being bothered by other creatures. "So, zurr, wot bees ee reason you'm wonted to talk to Oi?"
----------------------------------------
Gemma watched William leave up the stairs and realized she was being to serious. She rolled her eyes and her humor returned. "Don't you worry, love. I'll try not to be to hard on you."

Following Abbess Saol, William made his way up the stairs and watched as she walked past some rooms. And then finally into the library. Upon entering the room, he noticed some other beasts were in the room, but they were old enough to not be fearful of hearing about an attack like the dibbuns would be. And they might even know about it already. So he hoped...
"Well, I wanted to know how the defences of the abby are. Since you need my help, I assume that we are going to be under attack." He simply got to the point, though he did not want to be rude. Then speaking up again he said, "If there is a chance that some vermin are going to attack this beautiful place, then the guards need to be trained. I ask if I may train them in tactics to fight off the horde that may be comming."

Osiah nodded and bowed politely. Sounds fair enough. Might I ask what brought you and your troup to Redwall? I'm here to visit my sister, but I don't think you said why you were here.

((I'm cheating because I'm too tired to figure out how to say all this in mole speech right now LOL))
Soal explained to the big badger how a Marlfox had somehow made his way into the abbey several days previously. He had held a young squirrelmaid at knife point and stolen several precious objects before getting away. Another squirrel was out in the wood at the time and had come across this same marlfox and faught with him. The squirrel, Silas had also encountered a band of vermin in his travels and came strait away to the abbey to warn it's residents of the eminent danger. Being a warrior himself, Silas had taken most of the training responsibility upon himself. But the Abbey had also been blessed with a small patrol of hares and a few other warriors who seemed to have come just in the nick of time. She concluded, "Hurr hurr, Et allas bees a gurt thing tur 'ave ee badger around en toimes lioke these tho, burr aye."
---------------------------------------
"Oh, we travel around all over the countryside," Gemma explained to the young badger. "And Redwall has always been one of our favorite stops. We try to come 'round about once in every 4 seasons or so. Winters a good time for the troupe to have a warm place to stay and for the Abbey dwellers to have some entertainment."

(No worries, I find it difficult to understand sometimes.)
"Well ma'am, I'm glad I can be of service to ye. I'll make my way to where this fellow Silas might be. It always helps to have a few more hands."
Giving a nod of his head, William smiled and made his way to the door of the library. Then turning back he said. "I'll come and let ye know when everything is done."
Opening the door, he made his way back to where the Abbess first led him up the stairway towards the library. Bounding down the stairs, he saw Gemma speaking with Osiah still. He gave a slight nod and a smile to her. And then proceeded to make his way out of the great hall and into the abbey courtyard to meet with Silas the warrior squirrel.
