Chapter One
The Feast
"Rimrose,
Are you planning on eating flavorless flan tonight or are you going to help
me?"
"I'm
coming, I'm coming, I can only go so fast these days Y'know"
"Huh,
look at me I've seen just as many seasons as you have and you don't hear me
complaining now do you? I didn't think so!"
Rimrose
silently chuckled about the thought of Sister Sloey not complaining about
anything before saying "Yes, well, I was thinking that we could maybe use some
blackberries mixed with meadow cream and"
Rimrose
got no farther before Sister Sloey screeched, "I'll have no such thing!
Blackberries and meadow cream, how ridiculous!
"Personally
I'm partial to anything with meadow cream or blackberries, ladies"
"Oh
Florian, as if it were possible for you to dislike any kind of food, now shoo
you glutton!
Florian
reluctantly walked off carrying a plateful of silverware to the tables outside
"Well excuse a chap for jolly well staying healthy, what do they expect me to
do starve myself? I flipp'n well hope not!"
Sister Sloey
quickly whispered in Rimrose's ear "Actually I've taken quite a liking to that
gluttonous hare, but don't tell him that, he tries to flatter me enough as it
is!"
Outside
Dannflor was instructing the Guosim shrews as to the placement of the tables,
he probably could have let them do it themselves but they argued enough as it
was.
"No this
one's right and the rest are crooked"
"No they're
not how many times do I have to tell you they're supposed to be parallel to the
outer wall there!"
"All right,
enough argument!" Dann had to shout over all the arguing shrews "The tables are
all perfectly fine the way they are now lets get out the chairs"
Log a Log
Burble rushed over to apologize for his tribe "I'm sorry Dann but you know
shrews, were not happy unless were arguing!"
Dann wiped
the sweat from his brow "Yes, I've become quite familiar with that fact!"
