Of Dibbun Patrols and Dishwashing
5-19-04 Characters involved: Darklett Snowflower Kail
The sound of water being splashed a bit comes from the kitchen, as the hare Darklett washes some dishes in the kitchen. Karma building? Maybe. Trying to build himself back up to a state of semi-respect? More than likely. Either way, he's working pretty darn diligently, not even taking the time to whistle or hum a tune as he works.
Kail enters! The still very thin but slightly heavier recently squirrel has a blanket tucked into his collar so it hangs behind him like a cloak, and he walks with his dewclaws looped in his belt. The leader of the Dibbun Patrol is out looking for members. >:D
Feeling just completely confused about everything, Snowflower makes her way into the kitchen holding an empty haversack. The squirrelmaid quietly makes her way over to a cabinet trying not to be seen by Dark since it would just mess up her whole plan.
The buck doesn't notice the others enter until he looks up to see that there are no more dishes left... He frowns a bit at the lack of dishes, but... Snow narrowly escapes his sight as he sees Kail first. "Oh, hey Kail... You're looking... awfully important this evening."
Kail nods to Dark, apparently not seeing Snow either yet. "I've started m'own Lon' Patchol!" he announces proudly.
Snowflower sighs as she hasn't seen. So far so good. She fills up sack with a few things and turns around. Hmm...how to get out without being seen. Well seeing no visible escape route, the squirrelmaid just sinks to the floor waiting for one to appear.
Darklett chuckles as he grabs a towel, drying off his hands. "Your own Long Patrol? Sounds interesting. And I guess you're the Major, right?"
Kail scratches his head. There's something he hasn't thought about. "Ana's t'Heala-Major-Privite. So I'ma...um..."
Darklett smiles. "That would make you the..." The buck raises his head, overexaggerating his expectations for an answer. "Obviously something much higher than the Healer-Major-Private..."
A faint smile appears on Snowflower's face as she watches the two quietly from her spot.
Kail asks, "How 'bouta Gen'ral-Curnal?"
Darklett nods vigorously, bringing a paw to his forehead. "How could I have forgotten? The General-Colonel is the superior ranking officer... Silly me, forgetting such an obvious fact. Well, General-Colonel Kail, sah..." The buck throws a mock salute to the squirrel. "Best regards to you and those under your command." Trying so hard to be serious.
Although Snowflower is trying to stifle her giggles one escapes from her lips.
Kail grins, apparently not hearing Snow 'cause he's marvelling in his own awesomeness. :p "F'ree of us now! Me, Ana an' Kylie. You can't be in it though." he adds as an afterthought. Not being mean though!
Darklett hears the giggle, and his ear perks... Probably Ana or Kylie hiding. But, the hare plays along, looking a bit crestfallen. "Can't be in your patrol?" A long frown forms on the hare's face. "I see." His face straightens, and he looks up, placing a paw on his hip, and one gallantly bent in front of him. "In that case, I shall work to improve myself to prove myself worthy of your command, General-Colonel Kail!"
The squirrelmaid is now in a giggle fit as she watches Dark. Yup...the whole staying hidden isn't really working anymore.
Kail is about to say that Dark has to be a dibbun...but hey, it could be a help to have a grownup on his patchol. :p "'Kay." he affirms, nodding his head. He turns, however, as he hears the giggling. A new member maybe?
Darklett perks his ears again... Those patchollers are gonna have to learn stealth... Darklett chuckles to himself at the thought. Back to Kail, he nods, a businesslike demanor appearing on his face. "I won't let you down, sah!"
Snowflower is now in tears as she holds her sides. This is just to funny. The giggles continue on...
Kail nods briefly to Dark, distracted by the giggles. He walks over, pouting a little. "Stop laffin'!" he demands. :p
Ooh, maybe the Healer-Major-Private's gonna get a scolding from the General-Colonel. Darklett begins to chuckle as he waits the ensuing ruckus.
Snowflower just continues in her laughing fit with tears streaming down her face. "Hehehe...I..heehee..trying...hehehe..."
Kail himself is rather surprised as he sees who it is. "You're norra dibbun!" he points out. :p
Wait, that's Snowflower. Darklett chuckles louder, only it's fake now... Best not to bring it up in front of Kail. "Snow!" He rushes over to see her, still laughing out loud. "Snow! Why are you hiding! Heehee!" Wink, brief fierce look, laughter.
Snowflower nods while wiping away her tears. Her laughing slowly stops as she Dark come over. Drat. "I..um...was..." Yup speechless squirrelmaid.
No, not in front of Kail. Darklett shakes his head, still bringing himself around to a light giggle. "Best get some rest, the General-Colonel's counting on me to better myself so I can join his honorable patrol." Another look... Then a movement towards the exit.
Snowflower ears flatten slightly but she doesn't want Kail to know about this either so she nods again. "Yes you better. Don't want to disappoint the General-Colonel. I'll see you later then."
Kail just kinda waves. :p "Bye."
