Donavin didn't turn round, he simply shrugged, and took another pull at his bottle. "You could say that."

[Faiyloe]

"Ya know that yer problems will just get worse if ya keep drinking that stuff," He said 

[rachel25]

Donavin sighed, and eyed the bottle. "And what if they do? What does it matter? Orvil has always hated me. I am a useless leader. I'm falling apart completely. So, what does it matter?" 

[Cornflower MM]

Caldroc was banging on the gates of Castle Sydd, blissfuly unawarer that he'd only just missed his wife.

[rachel25]

Adlais, who was hovering around, hear the noise. He went to go see who it was.
He looked over the wall, and huffed. Honestly, these Lonels! They seemed to think that they could just come, and go as they pleased. Thank goodness Donavin had just sent out an order for the boarder to be reinforced, and more heavily guarded. "What do you want Lonel?" Adlais' voice was full of contempt.

[Cornflower MM]

"It me, Lord Caldroc!" Caldroc called up, confused. "I've come to chat with Lord Donavin. Is something whereon? I haven't been around for quite some time." He said, clearly confuzzled.

[rachel25]

Adlais glared down at him, "Lord Donavin isn't available. He's just spoken to Lady Bryony, and isn't about to talk to more Lonels. Anyway, you might want to get back to you wife. Lady Garvina was killed last night, she'll be taking it hard."

[Cornflower MM]

"WHAT THE ***?!?!?!?" Caldroc shouted. "THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I STAY OUT OF THE STUPID FEUD!" He screamed over his shoulder as he took off down the road.

[rachel25]

Adlais smirked, and walked off. It made him feel better to see the Lonels upset. But why? Maybe it was because his Father had pounded into him as a child that the Lonels were bad.

[Cornflower MM]

Caldroc was now tree-jumping, and soon saw the a small dust cloud where Bryony must be. He sped up, hoping to get to her soon.

[Faiyloe]

"He doesn't hate you. He hates the way you drink and curs all the time and constantly get into trouble but not you. Donavin, He loves you, He's just to proud to show it. Why do you think he always comes and helps clean up your messes?" David said.

[rachel25]

Donavin laughed humourlessly. "Loves me? That's a good one! The best day of his life was when I moved out here." 

[Faiyloe]

David shook his head realizing that the otter was just to drunk to hear anything that he was trying to say. "Your drunk, you need to put that away," He said pointing to the bottle.

[rachel25]

"Forget it!" Donavin growled, taking yet another pull at the bottle.

[Faiyloe]

"Fine have it your way. I'll just go tell Orvil where you have been stashing it all," He said lightly turning back to the window preparing to leave the way he came.
