Hidden Within The Walls: Part Two

[Gonff the Mousethief]

Marshall's stew was coming along nicely. He let it sit for a bit, and went to go see Mycroft. When he found the hare, he reported back
"Cap'n! Foods acookin'! Should be ready soon Cap'n!

[rachel25]

"Um, alright." Monka almost whispered.

[Cornflower MM]

"Um, Monka? Are you going to take the spoon?" Bryony half-whispered back, raising an eyebrow.

[rachel25]

"Yeah." Monka said in a tiny voice, taking the spoon.

[Cornflower MM]

"Is something wrong?" Bryony asked, picking up a knife to chop up the fruit.

[rachel25]

"Not really." Monka's voice was almost silent.

[Cornflower MM]

Bryony pointed the knife at Monka. "Monka, I know something's bugging you. Now, either spill the beans, or I jab you with this sticky knife."

[rachel25]

"I'd rather you didn't." Monka was now mouthing the words, but there was a cheeky grin spread across his face.

[Cornflower MM]

Bryony rolled her eyes and leveled the knife with Monka's nose. "Spill it." She mouthed, glaring at the other squirrel.

[rachel25]

"Don't turn my into bread." Monka mouthed, trying hard not to laugh.

[Cornflower MM]

Bryony inched the sharp knife forwards until there was only a hair of space between his nose and the knife, her eyes narrowed.

[rachel25]

Monka leaned backwards, his face almost turning purple as he tried to hold back the laughter.

[Cornflower MM]

Bryony's eyes narrowed. Skipper, how had been watching this display and almost bursting with laughter. He took his hotroot soup and went out to serve it, pausing on the way to stage whisper in Monka's ear, "You may want to tell her, mate. She will use that knife." With a big grin. Then something clicked in Bryony's mind. Not showing it outwardly, she silently started hurling curses at the otter.

Marshall saluted and dashed back to the kitchens to work on his dish. He was wondering what Bryony was doing with a knife. He went back to the pot and kept stirring, but yelled over to the squirrel,
"Hey squirrel, better put that knife down. Don't wanna scar up your boyfriend!"

[rachel25]

Monka held his paws up, and said out loud, "There's nothing to tell! I was just messing around! Don't spite roast me Bryony, that's all I ask."
