Scarlet walks into her old room. Faded green curtains hang in the East window. In the South window a violet window seat makes a comfy alcove, perfect for thinking about life or reading. Next to the southern window is an open wardrobe, in which are 2 dresses and 2 pairs of tunics and trousers. In the north-west corner sits a twin sized bed made of cherry tree wood with a worn violet colored blanket spread across it and a flattened pillow at the head. Next to the east facing window is a small cherry tree wood desk. Sitting on it is some parchment, quills, various colors of ink in clay bottles, some shiny river stones, an assortment of shells and beads, and a red silken diary with the initials S.R.S. embroidered on the cover in black. Above the desk is a small shelf of books including an herbal and an empty book for sketching. against the west wall by the door is a wrack of gull feather tipped arrows, a long bow and a simple half basket rapier.
"Ah, its good to be back in this ould room."
Scarlet plops herself down on the bed with a sigh.

Sunflower like a proper dibben was up to absolutely no good and had been at it for the whole of the morning. As it was though she had not been very successful at not getting caught and had a rather irate mouse after her wielding a bar of soap in a most threatening manner yelling about how she was going to scrub Sunflower until she shone like crystal in the sun. Not desiring to suffer such a foul fate she scampered away and hid in the most convenient room that she thought unused. Her second mistake of the day if you didn't count her causing trouble which she herself certainly did not.
"Eeep!" She squeaked then grinned as winningly as possible at the squirrel laying on the rooms only bed, hiding her jam covered paws behind her.

Surprised at the unexpected visit from the little dibbun, Scarlet instinctively stood at once.
"Hello, whats your name? I'm Scarlet."
She smiles at the dibbun, noticing a bit of jam on her chin. Dibbuns were nearly all the same. caring only for two things: Food and fun. Back in her village she had been the worst dibbun of the lot, grabbing pies and trifles whenever she could, eating it all herself and never sharing with the other dibbuns, guarding her prizes with a stick. Of course she always got in trouble though. Scarlet snaps out of her memories and back to the present, smiling at the dibbun and waiting for a answer.

"Sunflower, pleased to meet ya' miss!" Sunflower said brightly, makeing the best curtsy that she could without an actual skirt on. "Sorry if I'm intrudin!" She added, trying to look a bit shy in hopes of not being thrown out before her persuer was safely gone elsewhere in search of her.

" No not at all, Sunflower. You can stay, if you want. I was hoping for some beast to come along for me to talk to." She beckons Sunflower to have a seat by her. " So, how old are you Sunflower?"

Lois the badgermum of Redwall Abbey came trundleing up the dormitory stairs paw in paw with a little hogmaid named Damson. "So you think you saw Sunflower come up this way?"
"Yes, Mama Lo. Her had mucky paws an' was bein' chased by Sister Denise," Damson answered.
Just then they saw the good sister checking the doors to the dormitories one by one. "Are you by chance looking for, Sunflower, Sister?" Lois asked her.
The sister jumped at the sound of the badger's voice but answered her quickly, "That I am, Marm. She was down in the kitchens pilferin' jam and had made herself quite a mess. I had a mind to give her a good scrub and send her to bed without supper."
Lois nodded, "It's probably as much as she deserves. But I'll take it from here." Her words and her smile dismissed the fussy old mouse, who walked back down the stairs mumbling to herself. "So where do you think she's gone?" the badger whispered to Damson when the mouse was out of hearing range.
Damson giggled and pointed to a door at the end of the hall that was slightly ajar and had the traces of jam on the nob.

"I'm...uhm...." Sunflower did a fast invantory of her siblings in her mind and added the nessicary amount of season to the eldest then subtraced until she had her own age.
"8 winters Miss." She sad with a grin.
"How old are you?" She added with a naieve smile, the idea that it was impolite to ask anyone more then 48 seasons how old they were not occuring to her.

"Well go on then," Lois whispered sending the little hedgehog maid ahead of her into the dormitory room. "Don't be too hard on her."
Damson tip-pawed up to the door and pushed it open, "Sunny, are you in here?"

"Eeep! Erh, I mean yes!" Knowing that the jig was more or less up Sunflower gave her paws a quick licking to try and dispense with as much of the evidence of her misdeed as possible before turning to face Damson.
"How might I be of service?" Sunflower did her second skirt less curtsy and turned her smile up to full power. She did not think she would be completely spared but a little charm could keep you out of the tube on occasion so she tended to lay it on thick.

Damson wagged a paw mock threateningly at the mousemaid who was at least 5 seasons her elder. "Sister Deneese is out t' skelp yur tail. You best'n be curful." All the other dibbuns seemed to think that Damson was a goody-goody because she liked to keep her paws clean but she could cause every bit as much mischief as the rest of them. She smiled at Sunflower and whispered conspiratorially , "Don' worry Mama Lo sen' the ol' sister away. She's says you won' be in trouble at all."

Sunflower blushed at having acted like a simp infront of one of the other dibbuns but smiled at what Damson had to relate.
"Really? She's so nice...oh, Damson this is Miss Scarlet, Miss Scarlet this is Damson." Sunflower said, turning to introduce the two properly.

Damson looked up at the squirrel for the first time and did a little curtsy of her own. "Nice to meet ye Miss Scarlet." Then she added the extra respectful gesture of touching her headspikes. She was practicing to be a lady.
Lois peeked in through the open door behind her. Proud of the little maid she claimed as her own.

Scarlet curtsied back to the young hedgehog. "Nice to meet you to, Damson!" Seeing the badgermum in the doorway she beckoned her to come in. " Please, come on in Miss! Your welcome to join our little party. Me name's Scarlet Rose Songtree, Scarlet for short or even Scar as some of me ould freinds used to call me, though it does sound a wee bit odd."
