Forbidden Truce ~ Chapter Two, Trust to Ashes.

[Cornflower MM]

Caldroc watched the tavern owner's expressions change as he listened to the rules, and chuckled to himself. He noticed a pretty young squirrel watching the one who wanted to play cards.

Adlais looked up momentarily from his book, a card game had started, and it seemed Lord whatshisface was playing too.

[rachel25]

OOC: Um..................guys?

[Faiyloe]

"So what is a Lonel like your self doing in this part of the world," David asked laying down his bet.

[Cornflower MM]

"I was thi n king about visitin g Donavin. You know, friendly idle hit chat. As may may have guessed, I try to mysel v apart from the feud.' The squirrel said, studying h I s hand.

[Faiyloe]

"I would warn you, Donavin is in no condition nor mood to converse in idle chit chat after what just happened. In fact he would be more likely to throw you out on you back side than talk to you, I'm sure he would too if Orvil wasn't 'round to stop him. Though considering the circumstances I don't half blame 'im" David said discarding one of his cards.

[Cornflower MM]

Caldroc rolled his eyes. "Why does everyone seem to like keep having a fund with one another? I don't get it. It's stup I ." H said, discarding.

[Faiyloe]

"It's not for me to ask just for me to take advantage of," He said Taking up another card.

[Cornflower MM]

''Humph.'' Caldroc said, looking at his cards., planning.

[Faiyloe]

they went round the table twice more and then David laid down his cards. "and the hand is mine,"

OOC: I am going to do another time jump to after the game if you guys don't have anything else planed. David is going to win of course.

BIC: David stood and collected his winnings and then began to clean up the cards "Thank you lads,"

Grace still sat at the corner table. She had stat there watching him threw her entire meal plus three large mugs of cider. if he was the one then he would be able to tell her what had happened all those years ago.   

[Cornflower MM]

"You're welcome. It was nice to play people who actually know how." Caldroc
Said, standing up and shaking everyone's paws. As he we n t to shake David's, he whispered, "You've got a little admirer." Then he laughed quietly, and walked out of the tavern.

Adlais had quickly lost track of time, and had read about fifteen longs chapters of his book. But considering the book was at least one hundred, and six chapters long, it didn't bother him much. But, he did notice that the squirrelmaid at the corner table was still there, and staring at David.

[Faiyloe]

David was in fact a bit surprised and glanced around discreetly when he saw the squirrel maid his face did not change but his eyes turned a distinct shade of gray green blue like a stormy sea.  He turned and left the tavern and was soon fallowed by the young squirrel. He had gone two blocks and she still fallowed him before he turned a corner between two shops.

***

As soon as the other squirrel left Grace got up and fallowed him out. She had to talk to him. She had gone a good two blocks and he did not seem to have noticed her when he rounded a corner and diapered. She quickened her pace but when she rounded the corner he was nowhere to be seen. Suddenly she was flung into the wall face to face with him his eyes sparkling angry twin emerald stars searching her face for an answer to some unknown Question. "Why are you fallowing me? Who is paying you!" He asked angrily.

"What? No one!" She said startled and a good bit frightened yet she did not let it show. What had she gotten herself into.

His started and he seemed to have found what he was looking for because his face softened and his eyes to her surprise turned a light gray blue. Then he let go and turned away without saying anything.

"Wait I was told you could give me some answers,"  She said.

"Sorry you have the wrong person," David said.

"That is what they always say just hear me out please," She begged but he just kept walking. 

[rachel25]

Adlais watched as the two squirrels departed. He then got up himself, paid for the drinks he'd had, then left, and set off back for the castle.

OOC: Guys, I just had a idea that could maybe united the two families. What if a completely separate kingdom, or whatever comes, and tries to take over both the Lonel's, and Gretheg's lands. That would give them a common enemy, and they'd maybe after sorting their differences join together to defeat whoever the attacker was. 

[Cornflower MM]

OOC  That's a nice idea!
