That night Abbess Sonsa, Skipper, Gother, sisters Iris and Neera,
Foremole Hurrer Haskel the Recorder, and Peasea the cellerhog had a meeting
about the mysterious badger called Inka.
"She has siblings?" inquired Neera.
"Yes, three, two brothers and one sister. From what those two dubbins said, one brother and the sister are about the same age as Tilly and Weaket. The other is almost as old as her. I don't know how old she is though" said Gother.
"What about her parents?" asked Peasea.
"I don't know" said Gother.
"Are you sure you heard her?" asked Iris.
"Yes I'm sure. Ask Tilly and Weaket if you don't believe me"
Abbess Sonsa rapped a spoon on the table. Silence fell over the Great Hall. "It is obvious that this Inka doesn't want to harm us and just wants food and shelter. Redwall's gates are open to all creatures and Inka doesn't know this so next time she is spotted we will offer to take her and her family in"
"But how will we do that? She runs away if we open the gate" noted Gother.
"Well, we'll have to talk to her from the wall tops, and I think some one she knows should ask" said Neera.
"Oo meybe trice dat many" hinted Hurrer.
Gother noticed every one was staring at him. "Oh no, no, no, not me. Why not Skipper? I didn't even see her. I don't know what she looks like. Oh no, I'm not taking those two rascals up there with me. No! Who would be in charge of the kitchens. I got meals to cook and some one has to keep those scones from burning. No! I am not going on those walls. No, and that's final!"
"She has siblings?" inquired Neera.
"Yes, three, two brothers and one sister. From what those two dubbins said, one brother and the sister are about the same age as Tilly and Weaket. The other is almost as old as her. I don't know how old she is though" said Gother.
