"Redwall, y'say." She often felt that she was the only (semi) civilized individual who'd never once set paw inside its fabled walls. It was legend, of course, but Camp Willow was the closest she'd ever gotten. Rook's voice betrayed some emotion for the Abbey, and Ariel smiled. She felt immensely relieved that his travels had brought him somewhere warm and peaceful. It wasn't surprising, either - he had much more of a 'homebody' streak than she, no doubt the source of his extremely loyal nature. She felt a pang of guilt for indirectly causing his departure from his former home, but she stomped that thought out quickly before it could overwhelm her and ruin the mood. "Sounds like th'seasons've been good t'you, mister Scarbin. I'm half surprised you don't 'ave a score of dibbuns trailin' round in your wake! Redwall must've been kind t'you, I'm 'alf surprised you left!. Don't know if I'd ever fit in there, but it does sound beautiful." Despite the fact that he was several years her senior, she'd watched Rook develop from an inexperienced and introverted deckhand to a confident leader, captaining one of her fleet's ships. Whether or not Rook held the early seasons against her was something yet to be seen. Rook squinted at the distant table. "I'm not sure. It could be..." Ariel interrupted. "Roe. Roe Sungold. She was on your 'Flyer. A Commodore." It was almost disturbing how accurate certain details were to her, even years after they'd ceased to matter. Well, technically, anyway. Ariel felt an immense surge of pride. Clearly the otter had done well, judging by her apparel and the way she carried herself. She watched Roe for a minute or two, lost in thought. This was even better than she could've hoped for; certainly Roe would be able to let her know if this fort she'd arrived at had a place for her to stay a while. Particularly if they had any need of watercraft..... "Think we'd best wait 'till their party's over afore we go interrupt?" |
 Any ship in a harbor is safe, but that’s not what ships are built for. | |
