Sennveil grinned from ear to ear, and with a slight bounce in his step, walked inside. His keen eyes darted across everything as he took in his surrounding. It wasn't really a mean old hovel, more like a nice woodland cottage gone slightly to disrepair. His twitching nose told him his quarry was close. His icy eyes landed on the woodpigeon. "Ah-ha! Woodpigeon, can't go wrong with that!", he exclaimed, coming right up to the table and watching the bird greedily.

"Ha I can go wrong with anything," Kolia admitted her cooking ability or rather lack there of. "What do you want a rare leg or a burnt wing?"
Thunder smiled at the newcomer feeling that if Mumma let him in he must be alright.
Lightning however kept one paw on his sling while he gripped his own pigeon leg with the other.

"I beleive I'll have whatever's rarest," The weasel smirked slightly and peeked over curiously at the little weaselbabe that was smiling at him, "I can't abide with burned meat." Sennveil was struck dumb momentarily;the two babes looked exactly alike, save a light patch of fur that appeared on each, but on the opposite ear. His eyes went unfocused slightly, then he shook his head vigorously and choked a little. "Miss, you had twins?", he gaped somewhat foolishly. Something about the sight of twin weasels had momentarily contained his ego and shut up the part of him that loved to annoy.

Kolia was focused on cutting the meat but she looked up at his change in tone and warily watched him survey her sons. "Yeah, I dreamed about them before they were born." Then she smiled at the twins. "They came in a storm. The quiet one is Lightning and that one grinnin' at ya is Thunder."
He turned his grin to Mumma.
She made a face back at him and then smiled. "Eat your supper now."

"Well, I'll be blown,"Senn chuckled, getting his attitude back, "I was always told that twins were rare, and being one myself I didn't think I'd ever come across another pair." The black weasel turned to the two little ones, "They're a cute bunch. You two're lucky little fellows, y'know that?"

"You Tommy?" Thunder asked their guest curiously.
Kolia laughed passing the weasel his plate and explained, "An old fox told them that the name Thomas meant twin so now they refer to each other as Tommy. I'm Kolia by the way, and you are . . ."

The black weasel bent a leg and did a hugely exaggerated formal bow. "Sennveil Reavear, the Fastest Beast Alive, if I do say so myself," He chuckled, "Which I do! But I'm not one for long names and fancy titles, so you can call me Senn." Senn probed the slightly bloody bird meat with one claw and licked the juices off. Ah, yes--blood was better than moldy bread and rotten vegetables any day! He tore into the meat with a will.

((I am so sorry I totally thought that it was still your turn. I didn't see that you had posted until just now *kicks self* So we've each been waiting all day for the other one to post. Well wait no longer here I go . . .))
Kolia smiled as she watched the beast before her attack his food. Maybe he did have a little class. She sat down with her own plate and began to suck the meat off of a slightly charred wing. (The sacrifices one makes as a mother. She would have rather taken the bloody piece as well.) She had the sneaking suspicion that she was now taking care of three whelps instead of two, but she dearly hoped that wasn't the case. It had been so long since she had had any adult companionship of her own species. "So - er - Senn, what brings you to this part of the wood?"

Senn took a slight pause from wolfing down the bird meat to answer Kolia. "Funny thing you asked; it's quite a long story how I got to be here." The weasel smiled grimly and narrowed his eeriely bright eyes. "I suppose you only want to hear the most recent episode, no?" Senn licked some blood off his whiskers. Waste not, afterall...

Kolia shrugged, "Whatever you feel like telling?" She wondered if it was totally obvious how hungry she was to hear any other voice besides Thunder's.
"Where's you Tommy?" Thunder asked just then.
His mother snapped at him, "Don't be impertinent. Eat your supper."
Lightning narrowed his eyes at his mother. She didn't need to talk to his brother like that.

The ice-colored eyes gave Kolia, Lightning and Thunder a long look where the emotion was not clear. Then he chuckled, closing his eyes. "I guess the abridged version will be enough," he said as he propped his elbows on the table. "I come out of the Northlands, escaped from some years of torment and torture as a battleslave. That bit was the Red Horde's doing," the black weasel clenched his teeth slightly as his hackles rose at the cursed name, "I wandered south, basically to see what I could see. That's about the jist of it..." He gave the little weasels one of his more benevolent glances, "Would that be a sufficient explanation?"

Thunder really had very little idea of what the stranger had just said but he nodded happily at the question all the same.
Lightning was still watching his mother however and he noticed that she gave a shudder when Senn mentioned the name of his captors.
Kolia wanted to ask if her guest knew if the Red Horde was still in the Northlands where he had left them or if they had decided to move further south. Yes, she knew who they were but she didn't want to talk about her own association with them. Instead she just made the vague comment, "Sounds like an unhappy past, though not many of us have the luxury of a happy one."

The black weasel had caught on to Kolia's reaction, but had no real idea what she was shuddering about. He assumed she had heard of all the bad they did, and somewhat arrogantly he dismissed it as something unimportant.
Senn then appeared amused by the mother weasel's statement. His eyes narrowed but he remained smiling. "Hmmm... True, it's a bad place to be coming from. I got though it in one piece though, as far as any can see. The future is what concerned me now," his smirk deepened, "You know the saying 'It gets worse before it gets better'? Well, I've seen the worst. How can the future get any more painful? At least, that's how I see it." Senn appeared to be finished eating, but one set of claws still dug tightly into the edge of his plate, leaving slight gouges. The young vagabond had forgot his own strength...

Kolia was watching her sons. She may have thought like Senn did once: that things could never get any worse, but now that she was a parent she knew things could very well get much worse. The idea of having to watch her children go through some of the things that this weasel was hinting at would be very much worse in deed. "It's a good place to be when the only way to go is up." She agreed with him. Then she stood and began clearing the table. She was too distracted in her own thoughts to notice the claw marks in the plate she only picked it up and put it in a tub that served as a wash basin and then came back to the table with a rough towel to wipe the twins' faces clean. "Go and get ready for bed," She told them quietly.
Thunder went obediently into the cabin's one other room but Lightning stayed where he was making furious tail signs.
"No complaining." Kolia told him making a no nonsense tail sign of her own before swatting the little whelp lightly with the towel and pushing him in the direction of the bedroom. "I'll be in in a minute to tuck you in."
Lightning gave Senn one more venomous glance and then went to do his mother's bidding.

The icy eyes of the black weasel caught Lightning's glare, and Senn cocked his head slightly to one side, puzzled. What did he do? Oh well, he thought, babes are untouchable anyway. No need to chastise the little mite...
Senn leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms behind his head, his fierce eyes closely watching Kolia. "So I suppose I have to leave now? What a shame--and I was just getting to know you!", he chuckled, closing his eyes. He didn't want to leave, but at the same time he yearned to rush out recklessly and continue his search for his sister. The weasel sensed that his twin was upset, but right now he could do nothing to help her. That really burned a hole in his twisted heart. He looked down out of shame, forgetting where he was.
