The otter peered at the Molemaid. Confusion stamped on his face. Yet with a inclination of his head he backed off, a sneer stamped on his features. That ferret should be frightened. Thinking his royal ass owned this Abbey. If he had wanted to that javelin would have taken him through the eye, it had merely been a warning. "No' yet ye haven't." The Otter hissed under his breath. This beast hadn't tried anything, maybe he asn't a bad fellow. Although since he was a vermin he doubted it, as much as he doubted his wife was alive, and he had seen her thrown overboard with a spear through her gullet.
"Something worng with your hands mate?" The warrior mouse questioned. Only to pipe down , upo realizing the Abbess was here. Hoepfully to save the day, Ringu needed his medicine soon, so they neeeded to make that visit to the infirmary. Didn't this beast mention he was hungry as well? The mouse nodded a greeting to the badgermum. Ringu's outbursts didn't bother him anymore, he had seen worse then most ,and needed someone to help. Most females were run of f by the angry look on his face.

The ferret's pink eyes. Surprisingly. Had shown a slight sign of surprise and fear. But now it seemed to be replaced by something that burned in his eyes. He had fought hard wars and battles along with his mother and father and siblings. That warrior's flame seemed to burn in his eyes. Than the ferret turned his head from the otter and started to remove the bandages from his paws. Although his whole body was fine and showed no visible scars. His paws were covered with bruises and cuts and small visible scars. Showing signs of constant exercise and training with his fists. He bunched up the bandages and held it in one paw and his gloves in the other. He spoke to the mouse. "Nay. Nothing is too wrong with my paws. Just a few scratches. A new wrap of bandages and they'll be better mouse. Though i thank ye for your concern"

Saol gave the otter a disappointed look, like a parent to a naughty dibbun. "Oop ee stairs wiv ee, Ring Zurr. Et's toime for ee medcin." She nodded to the mouse to escort him. "Go on. Lois an' Oi kin take et from 'ere, burr aye."
The badger nodded in agreement that she and the abbess could indeed handle the situation.

The mouse removed his hand from the ferret's arm. Nodding to the Abbess he walked to his friend and began walking upstairs. The otter followed dutifully, rubbing his hands up and down his forearms. Not in apology to the ferret, but for not having his sedative on time. Of course for all the ferret knew he could have been a alchoholic. Which in all truth he was. (OMG--sorry no muse..EXITS THREAD)

Upon the exit of the guard beasts Lois took up a protective stance next to the little mole abbess. She didn't like to use force but she wanted this 'guest' to know that bringing harm to their Abbey leader was out of the question.
"Thank-ee." Saol nodded to the mouse and then turned her attention on the ferret she took a deep breath and tried to remember to adjust her accent to one who was probably not familiar with her mode of speech. "Welcome to ee h'abbey, zurr. Wot brings you'm 'ere to our gates?" She smiled and hoped that that was clear enough she glanced up at Lois with a look that said, help me out if he can't understand me.

The ferret waited till they both disappear up the stairs before he faced the Abbess. "So you, Saol. Are the Abbess of the well known Redwall Abbey? I had heard tales of this place from my far away home. How against even the most horrible odds. This Abbey had managed to stand against all it's foes, outlast them and even defeat them. Tis a honor to witness it and even the inside and of course meet it's current Abbess." The ferret gave a bow. Than continued. "I had came here for help. My soldiers have traveled far to make it here. Fighting against both cruel elements of nature and countless beasts with evil in their hearts. We do not know how to hunt or farm. I was only a prince and they are no more than soldiers and knights. My mother and father's kingdom destroyed by a evil horde lead by a horrible giant beast i had never seen before. Leaving me and eighty others as only survivors. I ask for you help. "

Saol shuffled her footpaws nervously. She didn't want the visitor to see her, the leader of the abbey as weak. But the idea of 80 beasts, traditionally vermin beasts, armed and waiting in the woods nearby, was frankly terrifying, even if they were half starved and exhausted from their flight. Her kind heart was touched however by their plight. But it could also be a trap. She deliberated for another few seconds and then came to a decision. "You'm cum an' eat, zurr. An' we kin discuss wot's tur be dun 'bout yur soldiers."
The badger, who now had her arms folded over her chest nodded in agreement at the wisdom in the plan.

The ferret smiled. Food. When you are as hungry as he and his army was. You'd think it was the most wonderful word you ever heard. Though the ferret was also very thirsty. His whole mouth and throat were dry. "That sounds very good Madam. Please lead the way. Will there be drinks? Also, later on i might need a bath. That crazy otter's rum had wet the fur on my back and legs and got it all over my tunic."

Saol smiled but quickly after wiped the grin from her face she didn't want the ferret to think she was laughing at him. "Burr hurr. Ee get you'm wot ever you'm bee needin', zurr. You'm loike ee drinks 'ere. An' you'm get ee baff after yur gurt fed." She was dropping back into the heaver mole dialect. And the badger looked back and forth between the guest and the Abbess to try to gauge if he was able to understand her.

The ferret had noticed the badger. He had remembered fighting beside one. Powerful fighters they were. Could defeat even the most toughest beasts. Well.... All but the beast he and his family encountered and went to war with. Who had snapped that same badger's neck... "Thank you mole. You are very kind. Unlike the beasts me and my troops had encountered in our travels to these woods." He looked at the badger. "Hello there badger. What is your name? The mouse had never told me your name."

The badgermaid did not aprove of this visitor calling her abbess, 'mole' and she told him so. "I am Lois and this is Abbess Saol. You will please refer to her as such. What may we call you, Sir?"
Saol waved away her friend's comment with a digging claw and gestured toward the stairs down to cavern hole where the noon meal was just being laid out. "Burr, no need tur bee so formal, Lo. Le's go'an eat, hurr aye."

The Ferret's tone was apologetic. "My apologies Lois. I did not mean any harm to the feelings of the Abbess. My name Was Prince Heinrich. But after the horrible gruesome death of my parents and the destruction of their kingdom. I guess i am really no more a prince. Though Heinrich or even just Pure Ferret if you like." The Pure Ferret followed the Mole's claw to the stairs leading to the Cavern Hole. "I thank you Abbess Soal and all your friends for your kindness.... Well...... Except that otter. I had never seen a creature show so much hate at a Pure Ferret. He near killed me....." The ferret stopped talking right there. Not wanting to raise another problem.

Lois raised an eyebrow at the ferret but didn't say anymore.
Saol fell into step next to him in the direction of the meal. "Seems to Oi, if'n yur Da was King an' 'e passed on. . ." she said in a conversational tone, "that makes you'm king, 'Einrik zurr. You'm bees tellin' Oi more 'bout 'em, burr aye?" She glanced back at Lois giving her a look, letting her know that they were going to make this guest feel welcome even if he wasn't the traditional abbey visitor.

The ferret looked at the Abbess. "Well........ Not really. Ye see? Me and eighty beast were not the only beasts that managed to escape alive.... I think. You see? My mother had me, 2 other brothers and two sisters. In the war. My Mother and father, A sister and a brother were killed. But i remember my Older Brother and younger sister escape.... Though I'm not sure if they managed to not be hunted down... So really. I'm not the next King. If my Older Brother indeed survive. He would be next in line."
The ferret looked down sadly. "My poor younger sister. She was born on the second birth. She was a little shorter than us but she could fight just as hard as any of us. Few things broke her will. Let alone her morel. I hope she and my Brother still live..." The ferret put his gloves on the other paw with the bandages and than with the paw that had held the glove. Put it on his face. Looking like he was about to break down and cry.

"Oi'm zorry, zurr. Oi gurtly 'ope you'm foind them sum day." She was terribly sorry that she had spoken so flippantly and wished she could take it back. The she glanced over and noticed for the first time the bandages on his paw. "After ee eat, you'm go oop to ee 'firmary an get those paws looked at."
