The Quest For The Black Treasure; RP thread Part Two

[Faiyloe]

The gate slammed open and Toka jumped to the side. Arnath stood still and listened. To any other creature it would seem as if the forest was silent but to the blind mouse it was alive with sound. A slight wind blew and the trees creaked and the few dead leaves that still clung to the trees rattled on the branches. sound ringing in winters still. bushes and stone all playing a part in the music, yet there was another sound she header that most would not have noticed. Soft faint breathing and slight movement not of one beast but of three. two where louder and bigger but one was soft and hard to hear even for her.

Toka was furious, why wasn't Arnath moving? Oh yeah, she was blind, darn!
"Arnath." Toka half mouth, half whispered, "Get out of here."

[Faiyloe]

Arnath heard him and realized that he could see them and moved to the other side.

Raxanna stood still dagger drawn and held close to her chest ready if they came to close.

[rachel25]

OOC: I think you mean dagger.

BIC: Toka breathed deeply, and decided to go outside the gate.
Slowly, very slowly, he looked round the corner, he could see pawprints in the snow. At least three of them. He could take that many. But then he banged his side on the wall, and he fell back swearing at the pain. He could do this, he could do this, he could do this.

[Faiyloe]

Raxanna Waited and smiled it was only one and he was hurt, this would be easy. However her plotting mind would prefer that her presence stay secret.

Arnath heard Toka stumble and she rushed forwarded. This was a bad idea. "Please, just leave it," She said puling at his tunic.   

[Cornflower MM]

Perry shrugged, "I guess not."
---------------
Toka unsheathed his sword, and walked silently towards the gate, death on his mind now.

"Well, then again, you're not a woodlander." She sighed, watching the Abbeydwellers puzzling over her riddle.

[rachel25]

Toka pushed Arnath roughly away, (that ok?), and hissed between gritted teeth, "Get out of the mouse. I can handle myself."
------------------
"What's that meant to mean?" Perry inquired, a smile hovering around his lips.

[Faiyloe]

Arnath fell back into the snow. She had realized that they where hiding. They hadn't moved and they where trying to conceal their breathing. Toka probably couldn't see them. 

[Cornflower MM]

"Woodlanders are sharp, alert, and notice things others may not." Arya explained, hoping it didn't sound rude.

[rachel25]

Toka was preparing to go out of the gate, when suddenly he heard someone calling to him.
Yeah, you! What are you doing over by that gate!?!"
Toka turned, and saw a young otter, probably still in his teens. "Get the **** lost, waterdog!" Toka hissed. But the otter wouldn't back down, "Who are you calling waterdog, bushtail!" He yelled.
Toka gritted his teeth, why couldn't the stupid beast shut up?
--------------
Magnus had been ice skating on the pond that morning, and decided to go for a walk afterwards. It had been then he had seen Toka, and Arnath. That was when he had began shouting at the squirrel. He'd never seen him, or the mouse before.
------------------
Perry snorted, "Try going to sea for a month, then you'll se how sharp, alert, and how good you are at noticing things then."

[Cornflower MM]

"Um, no thanks. I couldn't live without my trees." Arya said smiling.

[rachel25]

Perry nodded, "I guess. I do miss the sea, but I can live without it......for a while."

[Cornflower MM]

"For a while?" Arya asked, slightly saddened that he'd be going back to the sea, then wondering why.

[rachel25]

"Well, a while can mean maybe a season, or more. Depending on how I feel." Perry explained. "Also, I don't have a boat of my own. I just help out on other beasts ships."

[Cornflower MM]

"Oh, okay." Arya said, cheered up again.
