The Rescue?

[Nanalie]

*blindly wanders into the woods after leaving the abbey in shame of her furnature incident*The Abbey would be better without me.. but i still have nowhere to go! *she sits against an old tree and sighs* I don't know whats wrong with me. if only there was something i could do. OUCH! *an acorn hits her head and she looks up. She spots young squirrel about the same age as herself peering down at her* No!! no more!! please!! i'll leave!! i'm sorry! *she says with urgency as if she knew what would happen if she stayed* Nay mate. Ai sudjust ye stay an ear this awfull noos I'm not going to fall for one of your tricks again, Jimble! leave me alone! *fresh tears trace a new course down her face in confirmation of her eternal loneliness*Mate, ai no ai trickeded ye afore, buh mai loyaltee is wit de squirrelz, not da vermin. Lissen!vermin? *her ears perked, her tears ceased, and her deep brown eyes zeroed in on Jimble, as if to see past his figure into ominous knowledge he was about to share*Mate, amember de too liddle onez tha lived wit master tom an ma'am squeely? vaguely..weren't their names Eqlantine and Gavrilla?yuh. their parents most sadly ave passed on an they've been adopted long with anotha by a vermin horde an are being raised ta doo sum pretty naughty stuff.

Kindly shut up. *she get up to leave but trips over the tree root.* ARGH!!! *she runs away crying in self-pity. Jimble watches her sadly, sighs and shouts* Be Careful Mate!

[Nanalie]

Well, at least i should go tell the Abbess about this..It's the most i can do really *she thinks, still running from Jimble and his crazy ideas* Maybe I'll stick to the trees..*She turns around, hops up on a tree and begins at a nice, refreshing swift pace, with only a few stumbles along the way*

[Nanalie]

*Nanalie returns to the edge of Mossflower Wood, now equipped and armed. She quizzically examines her new crossbow*Well this is the first mistake of the day she thinks I should have bought a nice, trusty slingshot *She draws back the bow with difficulty and aims an imaginary bolt at a tree leaf above her* Ugh!*she cries out and drops the bow in exertion. The setting sun casts golden hues throughout mossflower as a blood red light weaves in and out of the comforting color. Nanalie sighs and falls next to her bow*I hope the Abbess comes soon.. I'd like to get this over with and be safe in a bed...somewhere..

[Adelicia]

The Abbess comes, moving slowy with 2 rucksacks on her back, about a dozen Acorn Plumberry Pies and she is carrying a big tall staff. She smiles at Nanalie "It's brave of you to show up dearie, shall we start?"

[Nanalie]

heh..i don't feel so brave. but those pies smell tasty!! Let's get on with it, i don't know how long i'll last around those pies. *Nanalie gets up and retrieves her crossbow* I'm not sure where the camp is though. Can you lead Miss Abbess?

[Nanalie]

Oh!! I'm so stupid!! let me take one of those rucksacks for you!!

[Adelicia]

Laughs giving her one of the rucksacks filled with necessary supplies to spend a night somewhere and. "Thank you. Come on, lets go" Starts to walk towards the vermin camp using shadows as a camoflauge, treading softly making sure she doesn't make any noise

[Nanalie]

*Nanalie attempts to mirror the Abbess, but seems to trip over every root they come across. She falls as quietly as she can and muffles her "ows"*
