Drask narrowed his eyes at the grinning stoat, and whispered back to him. "You think you deserve a reward after supporting that Vincent character? The whole purpose of giving you anything was a reward for supporting me and behaving." The general gained control of himself before he raised his voice anymore, Krauser had the special talent of getting under everybeasts' skin, including Drask. "You managed to behave yourself though, so I might allow you that reward." Drask turned his eyes away from the stoat after those words in finality, and looked at the Pure Ferret sitting in the chair next to him. "Enjoy the feast, Callista?" Unlike Krauser, his voice wasn't slurred by the effects of the wine, for the general drank only over a half of what the stoat drank.
Zahn watched the whispered conversation between Drask and Krauser with interest, and the fox guessed it was about rewards now that the feast was coming to a close. He never really thought about the reward much in itself, and truthfully, he doubted that he would take a slave against her will to his chambers. Even if it wasn't against her will, it didn't seem quite right. Zahn would have preferred a promotion to such a reward any day, but it looked like that was all the short fox would get, and he would except it, whether it was wrong or not.

The stoat knew he got under other beast's skin and fur, he enjoyed it too. "Would not matter if i helped him or not. That my dear friend was not even part of the deal if i remember. At lest in my case. Your two friends on the other paw..." He than proceeded to clear his throat a little and repeat what the ferret had said on the subject about rewards in a low tone..... In a very good copy voice of Drask. "You can have whatever you want, once I see you behave in front of Moll. So can you two, If you stay completely obedient and loyal to me above all else. Understood?" When he had finished Krauser smiled widely. "You only gave the objective of loyalty to your two friends there. You didn't even bother with me before paw because you knew i was to much of a wild card to control. Besides, you also did not expect Vincent to come crashing in anyway. So what was to use for me before than?" For a drunk stoat. He sure had a very good memory. Now the stoat spoke in a more public tone. "Oh! and Drask. I had already made my decision on my reward. You DID promise anyone i want to choose can become my slave so..." He smiled cruelly as he pointed right at Larka with a claw. " I want that one Drask! The one with the big ass! Bahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!"
What better way to get back at somebeast who pointed a sword him and an another who was a cook/queen who cannot see where she goes? By taking one's freedom and the other's bodyguard in one nice swoop! That's how!
Mako was in the process of getting up with his good night star and emptying the stoat's head when Callista paw stopped him, feeling the paw pull downward. He was left with little choice but to obey and sit back down, though he glared at the lower rank stoat. What a idiot. Now we just MAY have to fight our way out of this mess! He thought....
Callista was about to pull 'operation shutdown' again and ignore the stoat's announcement until she notice Mako getting up, grabbing one of his arms with a paw, she gave a gentle jerk downward to give the body language command to just sit back down and forget it. She would have to deal with the stoat's outraging behavior sooner or later. She'll have to deal with it soon...

Larka stiffened and her paws went to the hilts of her twin swords reflexively but she stopped herself before she actually drew the weapons.
Moll also flew to attention. She looked at Krauser and then she looked back at Larka and then she turned her gaze on Drask. "You promised them they could have members of my staff as slaves?"
In the shadow of her hood Larka smiled, If he wants me he's going to have his paws full.

The general coldly responded to Queen Moll, "Indeed I did. But seeing that now Krauser made me regret it, I'm ready to go back on that promise." Drask was inwardly fuming at the crazed stoat's disrespectful outburst, as well as being able remember exactly what he promised to him, despite being intoxicated. He nearly leaped up to tear Krauser apart once he stood up and pointed to Larka, but he kept his cool, and after replying to Moll he stood, his icy eyes on the stoat. "You'll do no such thing now, Krauser! You lost your chance, fool, and you aren't getting a reward. The only reward you get is a death at the sword of a Darkfang!"
Drask nearly managed to draw his blade, but before he did, Alexander stood as well, pointing at Drask with one claw. "Don't do it, General! You're in the Queen's presence. Just forget that idiot, and sit back down. We'll deal with him when the time comes." Drask listened to the major's voice of reason, and returned to his seat. That wine apparently made him more than a little intoxicated.

Krauser, knowing now that his wishes will not be granted fairly and with honor. Simply smiled at the ferret and mocked him " A general who is told what to do and ordered by his lackey. Makes me wonder why the queen has not demoted you yet, breaking a promise and allowing himself to be bossed around by those he is supossed to command over gives hint of a cowardly, dishonest, dishonorable and worse. A WEAK beast. In the kingdom Callista came from, you'd lose your head for that...... and he would have taken your position." Nodding towards Alexander. "Though of course, any army with a decent amount of intelligence knows that. Though of course as you say...... We'll deal with this problem when the time comes. Though you had already made your last mistake.... " He was confident in himself, Drask would lose. He had the experience, speed and power to make sure of that.
Mako was only slightly happier at the result, maybe if Drask was lucky he COULD kill Krauser and than he himself would not have to deal with him anymore..... But he doubted that.

The Admiral rose from his own chair, in complete control over his body despite the several goblets of wine he'd drunk. He'd always been able to hold his liquor well. Grasping the hilt of his flasher with one paw, he simply interposed himself between Krauser and Drask. "Now, I suggest you shut up and leave before the General calls you out for a duel and he will kill you if that happens. And I'm in absolutely no mood to stop him, you sorry excuse for a soldier."

Larka not only took Krauser's words as a personal insult but also as an insult to her queen and an insult to the General who had once had a paw in keeping her own head off the chopping block. She ignored the Admiral completely and pointed her right paw sword directly at the intoxicated stoat's throat. "You come in here demanding rewards; rewards the General is not at liberty to give. I am a free creature. It is my choice whom I will serve."
Moll looked back and forth between the two stoats. She was as shocked and curious of the outcome as any of the other beasts present.

The general was surprised by the support given by his rival, Walon Vau. The other ferret apparently had his back in this conflict, with no small part for that support being the respect each beast had for the other; after their near fight to the death sword duel.
Drask managed to control the fury coursing through his veins, if Moll wasn't here, he would have already leaped to attack Krauser. Only his duty to respect the feast laid out by the Queen and his respect for her kept his anger in check. The general knew that Moll's guards would deal with the crazed stoat, he would have preferred to do so himself, but the lack of armor prohibited him from him doing so. He addressed Moll while keeping his eyes locked on Krauser, "Your highness, I request you allow me to remove this scum from your presence. I'm sure Admiral Vau has the same wish."
Alexander had that wish as well. No beast could call him a lackey and get away with it. He was a respected Major in the army of Drask Darkfang and not a beast to provoke. The Pine Marten added his opinion along with the general's. "I would be honored to assist General Darkfang, if you wish, your highness." Alexander was ready to remove the crazed stoat away from the dining room, but only with the permission of Queen Moll.

Callista had finally had enough, at first she had saw it as only a minor skirmish that would sooner or later die down, but Drask and the other soldiers here was going out of line and had overruled Moll once and she felt it was fair to warn Moll not to ever allow him or his friends here to do so a second time. She had stood up, discarding her sabre by giving it to Mako and taking a step towards Moll while making a nonthreatening gesture with a paw. "Queen Moll. May i talk to you in private about something? Do not worry about this. You DO have the power to make this stop til we are done. My soldiers won't do anything. Now, could we please have a chat in another room or something?"
(This was the only thing i could think off that would make any sense later on in the thread. Though she CAN bring in one of her fancy servants who try teaching her how to be queenly and high class and the such. xD )
