A Winter to Freeze Your Heart part 2

[Cornflower MM]

Bryant's jaw just dropped. She honestly expected him to leave her if neccessary? Didn't she know he'd be killed multiple times? First Ervoyce, fo5r obvious reasons. Then Arya, as the two were pretty good friends. Then probably Russina, for......Who knows what. Then maybe Ushen, for also who knows what. And she seriously expected him...? Good grief.

Ushen had woken at the crack of dawn, and was already getting started in Arya's room. He played out what he was going to do. Each wall he'd do a different scene, in a different season. At the moment he was still drawing with his charcoal stick on the first wall. But it was coming along nicely. But Bryant hadn't turned up, oh well, he couldn't really help much with this bit anyway.
--------------------------
Raphael was snoring gently, laying in bed. He'd stayed up late last night, helping Jantar with this, and that. But then he woke with a start when he heard a loud knocking on his door. He jumped out of bed, and quickly grabbed a dagger that was on the bedside table. Wearing nothing but his trousers, he approached the door, and opened it a crack. A grumpy looking fox stood outside his door with a face like thunder, "Lady Jantar wants to see you immediately."
"Ok, I'll be there in a minute."
--------------------------
The guards on the wall were to put it lightly, surprised when some squirrel ran up, wanting to talk to the dead leader about winning the fight against the woodlanders. "Well you can't see him. Unless you can talk to the dead's spirit." One guard called down.

[Faiyloe]

Wait he is dead. She thought quickly and replied "Then I'll speak with whoever is in charge!" She said.

[Cornflower MM]

Bryant listened to the exchange, and start lightly thumping his head against a tree. It was official - Vatra. Was. Nuts.

[Dannflower Reguba]

       Stormfront was listening intently. His hatchet was already drawn and ready to throw should somebeast on the wall top make even the slightest hostile movement. The experienced Torrent motioned for the other to ready his bow and be prepared to do the same. This was one risky ruse, and he didn't like it!

OOC: I'm not kidding, you even look at Vatra the wrong way, and you'll be dead before you can think twice.

[Cornflower MM]

OOC: What about Bryant?

[rachel25]

The guard then held a whispered conference with the other guard. Then the first guard called down, "Wait a sec! Budle just going to ask if she will see you."
----------------------
Raphael dressed quickly, then headed for Jantar's room. He knocked, then entered without waiting to be told to.
Jantar was sat, cross legged, on the floor. The curtains were drawn, and scented candles illuminated the room. Her eyes were half open, half shut, she was chanted softly, and quickly.
"You wished to see me." Raphael said quietly, closing the door behind him.
"Yes, sit down." Jantar said, not moving.
Raphael sat down on a nearby chair.
"Not on the chair." Jantar said in a matter of fact tone.
Raphael sighed, and then sat on the floor.
"That's better." Jantar breathed deeply, "Now, hand me that dagger."
Raphael looked around for dagger, then spotted it, and handed it over. Jantar took it, said something, then stabbed it into the floor. Then she scattered some feathers around it.
"What are you doing?" Raphael asked, puzzled.
"I have to uphold a reputation, Raphael. The men think I am a true Seer, I must make them to continue to think so."
Raphael shrugged, "So, why did you want to see me?"
"I have some orders that I want to tell the men, first..."
She was cut of by someone knocking on the door.

[Faiyloe]

Vatra nodded and waited patiently. She could wait. For this plan to work she would have to be patient. This was not like her normal endeavors. Fighting was one thing. This was another.

'He had said she, The new leader was a she,' Frankly she did not care weather Grund was dead or not or that there was a new leader but she did wonder how it had happened. Then a thought hit her Zanga they had never found out why he had been at the abbey that night.

[rachel25]

"Come in!" Jantar called.
The door opened, and the second guard crept in, "Um, your ladyship. There's a woodlander here, who wants to see you."
"A what?" Jantar turned around quickly.
"A woodlander."
"Bring it in immediately, I'll will see it in the smaller Hall."
"Yes your Ladyship."

[Faiyloe]

OOC: Oops I forgot to say I left Martins sword with Bryant... 

BIC: After a short wait she was admitted in and she passed in threw the front gate. Vatra knew that they would probably ask to confiscate her weapons but she had anticipated this.

[rachel25]

"Hand over all weapons." A guard snapped.
-----------------
Ushen was rather pleased with his drawing. Yes, very nice, now to start on the next wall.......

[Cornflower MM]

Bryant picked up the sword Vatra had left, his eyes running up and down the blade. Ten he set it aside, its point digging deep into the loam.

[Faiyloe]

Vatra promptly handed over her javelin and dirk. She avoided looking around at the abbey. She knew that if she did she would probably loos her cool and that would ruin everything.

[rachel25]

The guard took the weapons, then ordered two other guards to search Vatra.

OOC: Is that ok?

[Faiyloe]

Vatra put up a paw "No need," She said removing a hidden blade from under the edge of her tunic and one from her boot and threw them on to the pile.
