A story of Friendship
Dodder had the day off. It was rare that this ever happened so the young hare planned to make the most of her day. She left Salamandastron clad in a simple brown smock. Walking north for about an hour, Dodder found the small log cabin, she was looking for. The hare knocked on the door before letting herself in.
It was a tiny cabin with only two rooms. Dodder knew it well, for her grandfather had built it many seasons ago. Now it was the home of one of Dodder's best friends, Killicia Swiftfang. Killicia Was in the smaller room catching up on some spring cleaning. She greeted her friend before even coming out.
" Hey Dods 'bout time that Badger Lord of yours gave you time off. eh mate! " Dodder shook her head. "How'd you know it was me Killy?" The Ferret came out to the main room, with much squeaking of her wooden knee. "Well who else would be coming here? it either you or some gang of villains, and last time I checked robbers don't knock before entering somebeasts house."
"You have a point there." Dodder giggled.
Killy sat down in one of the two wooden chairs in her cabin. "So how are things in Sala what ever you call it."
Dodder sat in the remaining chair. "Well enough, I guess. I'm supposed to start tracking this corsair group plundering the northern coast soon. " "Sounds like fun" The ferret said sarcastically.
"Oh yes, the last chap that was tracking them think it might be more then one ship doing the attacking. Which makes it even more flippin fun for me."
"Any idea who it might be?"
"None, do you know any beast who could be hanging around the northern coast? So much of a vacation this turned out to be, wot. I can't get the blighter off my mind." Killy thought for a minute. Before she started living close to Salamandastron the ferret had been a corsair Captain. This had been almost four seasons ago, now Killy used her knowledge of vermin to help her friend Dodder (much to the Long Patrols disapproval.) " Well mate, I can't think of any beast off the top of my head. But I'll lend you a paw catching 'em."
"Oh I couldn't ask you to do that. it's dangerous. Besides what would the Colonel say."
Killicia raised an eyebrow." It's no more dangerous then things I've done before. Besides you've helped me out tons of time before. Who cares what old stuffy whiskers thinks. I'll come by early tomorrow. You just make sure that big lad at the front entrance doesn't make me into a pin cushion, like he tried to last time. Now it's your day off, stop talking about work, live a little. I know this really nice little Inn not too far from here. Make the best oysters and soups you've ever had."
It took some persuading but Dodder finally agreed that going to the inn would be much better then trying to save the world. The friends left the tiny cabin and headed off laughing and joking.
