*Leatho allows a small smile as he sees Rowan and Raishel dash up to him. He claps Rowan on the back and bows politely back to Raishel.* How are ye mateys! *He pulls up another chair and sits beside Rowan. After a few minutes, Leatho leans over and whispers in Rowan's ear.* This is my first promotion and award ceremony I've ever attended. What's it about mate?

**Aster's jaw dropped as she fingered the medal, a look of wonder in her eyes. When she next attempted to speak, her throat constricted and no sound came out. Certainly, Aster had not been expecting this. Her smile broadened as she beamed her thanks and appreciation to the black otter, and quickly descended from the stage as a foolish grin began to infect her face completely. However, the short spell was broken as Finnerator's name was called. Reaching her seat, Aster spotted Marie and Raiden sitting close by, and smiled and waved to her friends. Her look changed to one of consternation as she noted the bandaging on Marie's back. Carrack got her that bad? I'd heard he was rather aggressive, but those reports must've been shorn down. That dingo is vicious! Aster decided to be prudent about the situation and ask Marie later. Turning back to face the stage, the young Major clapped loudly as she sat.**

* Mary clapped, then noticed that her sister wasn't. She nuged her with an elbow,saying sharply, getting her sister's nose out of her book.* Elena! Hmm? * Elena looked up, then put her book away hurridly.* Why didn't you tell me the ceremony had started before?* She began clapping for Aster. Mary laughed, then whispered to her.* Because you didn't ask silly.

Thanks...
**Raiden took the open seat with s light relief; he didn't plan on standing the whole time!**
Marie, I heard you fought Carrack, a Dingo, if I heard right...
**Frowning slightly, Raiden remembered the last time he had met a band of corsairs; it wasn't pretty.**
It's all the same, only the place will change. Corsairs, Pirates, Freebooters... All scum, time was they never raided, but now...
**Clenching his platemail armoured left paw tight, he slammed into the edge of the bench, leaveing the wood dented, and splintered, but his paw, numb.**

Raishel bows back, and pulls a seat up beside Rowan as he rolls a single blade of grass between his teeth, his mind deep in thought. He vaguely claps for Aster, and then finally breaking out of the trance, turns to face Leatho. Organizing his thoughts, he finally manages to speak. "Whoa, sorry for the wait Leatho. Well, you see, it's about these officers that have done a significant job in their field, or in general receiving promotions and awards. Then I figure it motivates the rest of us to do better and strive for excellence to receive the same gratification."
"Does that answer your answer Leatho? I mean if it doesn't, you can ask a commanding officer like Marie, Laylark, or even Darter."

*Leatho turns and watches Marie finger her medal and applauds with the rest. He continues to stare forward as Rowan gives his explanation, but he listens intently. Leatho considers the information before answering.* I don't think that'll be necessary mate. Thanks. *Leatho turns back to see who would be next. He mentally decided to try to some day be able to stand up and receive an award, just as Marie was.*

"Alright mate, just making sure." He smiles, and turns back tot he stage to watch for the next award. I wonder where Jamie is right now.
Jamie trudges through the underbrush, swatting irritably at flies that swarm to her like bees to a hive. Wiping some mud from her boots, she mutters something indecipherable under her breath. She spots a flicker of light farther ahead. Hurrying her pace, she lets the serene sounds wash over her body. The sound of a robin's cry reaches her ears, adding to the tranquility. Finally Jame breaks into a clearing after swatting some overhanging moss out of her way. She sees a stage set up ahead and many beasts dressed up for the special occasion. Knowing it was the award and promotion ceremony, she chose to wear a pale rose shirt with a white skirt, a silver sash, and a white ribbon, binding her long copper head fur.
She spots Rowan, Raishel and Leatho sitting on chairs to the side. Walking over, she sits in an empty chair by Rowan and puts her arm around him. He turns, shocked and elated at the same time. "I was wondering when you were going to show up. By teh way, this is Leatho Wavebattler." He puts his arm around her, as she turns and smiles. "It's a pleasure to meet you Leatho."

*Leatho looks up as a robin chirps, breaking the silence. As he looks up, out of the corner of his eye he spots Jamie as she comes trundling over to where Rowan, Raishel and he are sitting. He looks over and smiles at her as Jamie introduces herself. Leatho politely replies.* A pleasure to meet you Jamie. *He rises and gives a slight bow and takes his seat again.*

She smiles back, standing up. Bowing back, she takes her seat. "So, who's received awards/promotions so far?" Rowan ponders the question, reaching through his mind, urging his brain to recall the beasts. "Err, Aster, Finnerator Rudderbrow, and I forgot the rest." He smiles sheepishly. "Do you remember them Leatho?"

OOC: No time for a proper post. When I get my award (hint hint, even if it's too late), I'll do a proper RP.
BIC: *Sandegar crept up behind from within the woods, smiling, his black cloak fluttering silently in the wind. His boots pressed into the dark soil, and his dark brown eyes were riveted on Darter, the admirable commander. The hare's stomach was bubbling with excitement, ambitious thoughts flooding through his head. His ears were drooping and he subconsciously sniffled, but the excitement overrode the effects of his cold. He had returned for a break from the tournament taking place between five different organizations, and unfortunately, he had caught a cold. Wiping his nose on the white handkerchief in his paw, the hare sidled into a seat, clasping his paws in his lap and looking around. Almost all of the Guardians of Mossflower were present. Blinking away a watery tear, he fiddled with the tattered sleeve of his golden-orange tunic. He waited for the commander to speak.*

OOC: I told you calling her would work. CANdy!!!!*grabs candy.* Mmm... I think we have power...*lights go out.* Yeah, we do.*lights turn back on.* And I'm alive, that's good too. If you lay on the top bunk of a bunk bed on the second floor you can really feel earthquakes.
