Taggle sat at the window of the mostly deserted dibbun dormitory, watching then sun rise over freshly fallen snow. Like a pure white blanket it covered the land, coming to rest on leafless trees and freezing ponds and puddles. The otter dibbun watched in wonder as the tiny flakes drifted slowly down and past the window, making the snow on the ground ever deeper. Taggle didn't know why he had woken up so early. He was having a wonderful dream, then poof! Just like that it was gone, the softness and warmth of the bed taking its place. The sun was a dull orange ball, the top part of it just visible over the foliage of old Mossflower. Beneath him, the otter dibbun noticed something. Tracks. Some beast had already been through the snow! Knowing that, the otterbabe pouted to himself. He wanted to be the first beast on the snow. Taggle had his back turned to the door and hall outside, to intent on the sparkling snow to notice anything else..

Another, larger otter saw the small otter staring out the window. He smiled warmly and walked over to him, taking care to make plenty of noise so as to not startle the young creature. He sat in the window across from the otterbabe and smiled. What're you still doing up here? I thought you were going to be the first out in the snow.

The otterbabe stared at the larger otter for a moment, examining him. Then he pointed out into the snow below, into the abbey grounds. " Someone beated me to its!" Taggle exclaimed, absentmindedly drawing pictures in the window in the foggy patches his breath left from hitting it.

Harry looked down at the spot that was pointed out and saw that there were indeed footprints out in the snow. He patted the little otter's shoulder gently. Those are just my footprints left from when I came in here this morning. I went out into the forest last night, remember?

The otterbabe shook his head. As a dibbun he was put into bed fairly early. "hey..." he said. " Da snow out inna forest...no one's been there.." Taggle grinned then looked at Harry. " And you went out inna forest last night...les go dere!" he exclaimed excitedly.

Harry smiled and ruffled the otterbabe's ears fondly. Alright. I'll take you out there. We have to let Abbess Saol and Badgermum Lois know first, though so that they don't worry.

" Well cummon den, les go!" the excitable otterbabe practically shouted, taking Harry's paw and trying to pull him out of the dormitory. He ran down the stairs to the rest of the Abbey, unaware it wasn't safe. ( sorry took so long...was getting piano music off itunes)

Harry laughed and allowed the otterbabe to pull him out of the dormitory. He ran with him though the halls and looked around for the Abbess and the Badgermum. He knew they'd worry if he didn't tell at least one of them so he dcided to tell them both before he took the little otter out to the forest to play in the snow.

(OOC: I'll use an npc to make it less confusing...jest..the badgermum of Redall will for the moment be a badgerdad xD)
Taggle turned the corner around the stairs, and bumped slap into Rawnblade, The local badger of Redwall. " Woah, now, where are off in such a rush to little one?" The Striped badger asked, staring down at the tiny otterbabe.

Harry leaned down and picked the otterbabe off the ground carefully. Hey. I was just lookin' for you. I wanted to let you and the Abbess know that I was takin' him out to the forest for a bit to play in the snow. Could you tell her for me?

The badger smiled mischievously. " Yes, I'll do that..." He ruffled the otterbabe's headfur fondly. " Try not to get into to much mischief, eh?" he said, then padded off, to find the abbess and inform her. " I can see everyfin from up here!" the otterbabe exclaimed and giggled, leaning on Harry's head. (OOC: gotta go for tonight...I'll be on more a bit tommorow though. Night^^)

Harry smiled fondly up at the tiny otter and headed outside and towards the gate. He loved Dibbuns and always enjoyed spending time with them. He held onto the otterbabe as he opened the gate carefully. Hold on tight up there now. I don't want you fallin' off. [OOC: Alrighty then. Nighty night.]

The otter dibbun squirmed excitedly as Harry opened the gate. " How big is da forest mista Harry?" he asked as he held on tighter to the larger otter's head and shoulders. Occasionally Taggle would reach out and try to catch a snowflake in his paw, only to have it melt by the time he opened his paw to look at it.
