Aislin smiled slightly as she rubbed her head once more. She was still feeling a little under the weather, but she was glad that Tess had so much concern for her. Aislin walked so that she was alongside Tess. "Yes Tessy, I'm fine. Jus' got a bump on me noggin. I should be more careful I should." Aislin said, her accent slurring her words slightly.
The mousemaid remained silent as they made their way down the stairs towards the tapestry room, to get to the kitchen. Aislin knew that Beleos was the one that caught her when she fell. She felt terrible that she probably worried him sick. When Aislin entered the the room, a chill ran down her spine as she saw only Matthias and Mattimeo standing before the tapestry of Martin. Mattimeo turned and quickly walked towards Tess and Aislin.
"Hey! Aislin! Are you ok? I heard you really hurt yourself." Mattimeo asked quickly. Matthias chuckled slightly.
"Easy Matti. She might still be a little off balance. What happened Aislin? All we found was broken fragments on the ground." Matthias explained. Aislin adjusted her apron and twirled her fingers around the strings of it uncomfortably.
"I accidentally slipped and grabbed onto the table for support. The table couldn't support my weight so the vase fell on my head. It hurt much, yes it did!" Aislin murmured, a little embarrassed. "Then that long tail fellow came in, and kept me from falling to the ground he did. Where is the lad so I can thank him?" Aislin asked looking around the tapestry room.
"Went to his room I think. He's really odd." Mattimeo said quietly. Matthias looked at Mattimeo sternly.
"It's not nice to judge Matti. If you've lived his life, you wouldn't be so perfect yourself. You are protected by the walls of the abbey, and the spirit of Martin. He doesn't have those blessings." Matthias said as he gazed at the tapestry of Martin once more.
//At Grimclaw's Camp//
The rat general let out a loud burp and pat his stomach with his left hand. The rats had really produced a fine meal, and he made note not to kill any of them today. He stood up in his war tent and walked out of it, gazing at the sky. He smirked as he looked at the orange and purple coloring of the clouds, indicating the setting of the sun. "Okay Boys! Now that you've finished your meals, it's time to explain the complete plan in detail once more! I will be taking some of you with me in disguise into Redwall, I earn their trust, and wait till they go to sleep. After that, I'll just open the gates at night when the fools are asleep, and signal the other group to coming in! By morning, Redwall will be ours!" Grimclaw said with a smirk, picking his teeth with his iron claw.
The old mouse just happened to be behind a tree, listening in on the plan and she frowned slightly. This was not good, not good at all! It was good that she went undetected, so she made her way away from that encampment. [OOC: This next part is a continuation of what LA posted]
The old mouse maiden made her way slowly towards the gates of Redwall, noting the badger's aggressiveness. She chuckled slightly, as she remembered another badger she knew with the same if not much worse temper. The old mouse maiden looked up at Constance as she yelled orders at her. "It is not nice to bark orders dear badger mother! I merely ask for entry! Would you question such a feeble old mouse maiden like me?" She then chuckled slightly. "I am Sardy Longtail!" The old mouse said, answering the question regardless.
