OOC: What last time? **looks confuzzled.** Sorry for the crappy posts.
BIC: **Song noticed a hesitancy to speak, and fell silent, waiting to hear what the odd creature had to say. **

OOC: XD . Its okay. Umm, use this link, and if it doesn't work, look in fort for New Guy, Relaxing. It was awhile ago, that's why you probably forgot. guardianofmoss2.proboards82.com/index.cgi?board=parapet2&action=display&thread=1165100297BIC: Kaden sighed, looking around himself. He bit his lip nervously then shook his head. "We were drafted into the navy....long story short, my brother was slain, when I could've saved him, and I fell in love with a lass, but she just used me the whole time to get to my brother. Obviously she left me. There's the story in a nutshell, without the just as bad detail" He growled, suddenly standing up and turning to walk out, tears forming in his eyes.

**Songwind was tempted to follow him, out into the silent night, but held back. She knew this, this feeling that came after speaking about the pain. It goes away, and happieness replaces it. She smiled sadly as Kaden left.**

Kaden, wait! Pain and woe is no stranger to me. I've saved beasts from such things before. Back in my clan's lands, I was the scapegoat for my family's murder. I led my little brother and sister to their deaths. I killed my father, and older brother and sister. I could've chosen death, but I chose exile. I wandered aimlessly trying to find my death, for three years. I met Zahi at twenty, three years after my exile. I live for her, not because I have someone to care for, but because she's given me the one thing I lost five years ago; Hope. I may still seek my death, but I fully intend to father a family. Maybe hang up my blades and return to my first hobby; Music. Untill then, I shall drink to forget my pain and woe. Before you leave Kaden, answer me this; Do you really think running in fear from your problems will make them go away?

Kaden paused at the door. He sighed in despair, before turning his head slightly. His lostness plus anger had shown in his eyes. He bared his teeth. " That's just it! ANYTHING or ANYONE I get close to, dies! Besides, no woman in her right mind, would ever put up with a mess like me!" He scowled remembering how not just Mara, the woman of his past, but almost any woman, used him to get to his brother. He reached for his blade, tears of his horrid past leaping down his face. Though, he controlled himself, sheathed his blade and stammered off, leaving everyone behind.

Grah! That never answered my question, and he ruined the mood for drinking to me.
**Standing up, Raiden gripped the longsword that was sitting on the bar next to his tankard. Leaving a few gold coins on the table, he left while buckling on his blade.**
Kaden, I know how you feel. I don't talk about my past because like you, those that know much about me die. Whatever happened, get over it. I led my little brother and sister to their deaths. They died before I could say goodbye. I still look for my mother, yet something inside me tells my heart that she's dead. I don't get on with many girls, but I try. I opened my heart to one; Zahi. I opened my heart because she saved me, and made me feel hope again. Most who see me think I'm either to be pitied, or I'm worthless. Those who see me ready for war either fight alongside me out of fear, or flee. Like every one of my ancestors, I am known as the White Knight. Do not think you are alone in the world. Open your heart and listen to others. You might have been burned before by love, but deal with it. There are those with less charm than me, and worse features than a rat who has been hit in the face by Horus's hammer who have got a stunning girl and a family. There is always someone out there for every one. I found Zahi, she's the one for me. There will be someone out there for you. All you need to do is be nicer to others. Flowers never hurt anybeast. Just remember that.
**Raiden called after Kaden as he followed him outside.**
Don't take offence by anybeast's words here, or back inside. I'll buy you a drink if you want another.

*Getting his water in a goblet, Scratchfur slowly sipped the water as he listened to Kaden talk to Song about his troubled past that seemed to be haunting his present foot-steps. Nodding silently as he listened, Scratchfur's no-expression face betrayed the feeling of sadness for the Weasel. Turning around to watch as Kaden walked out of the tavern, Scratchfur's mono-tone eyes followed the creature until he was lost to sight. Turning back, he put a paw on Song's shoulder.* Ye did the bes' ye coul', matey. 'Tis up te 'im te sor' thin's ou' fer 'imsel'.

Kaden had whirled around as Raiden called after him. As Raiden told his story, Kadens tomped towards him. He growled and stood close to Raiden, hate burning in his eyes. " Don't say that ever again," he snapped, " I've been scarred by more than just love, if you even listened to my story. I've went from riches to rubble. High rank, to just wandering like I do now...'n unlike anyone else, I ain't 'fraid of yew! I've seen more imposing enemies. Ones that help to haunt my mind." He snarled. He then stomped off.
((Alright, let him leave the thread then. You guys can keep talking, I'll read it though. I'll start a new thread when I have the chance.))

Fine Kaden. Be that way. I was only trying to help.
**Raiden's angry shout called after the retreating beast.**
He just doesn't get it... My father was the ruler of my clan. I was a prince in the clan, reduced to this... I've seen far wose than what people think. My paws are stained with blood. Mine, my family's, other beast's... My foes have not just been physical, like foxes, werrets, and other beasts... I've had to face my own demons before. I was saved by Martin the Warrior, but still my demons haunt me.
**Disgusted, he turned and re-entered the tavern.**

**Song sighed unhappily, and smiled at Scratchfur. The young squirrel shed a tear as she looked through dark eyes.** I know Scratch. If he won't let me in, then why you? RAiden, don't judge Kaden yet. You knew me at the abbey as we grew up. Things are hard for him, let him be...

I didn't judge him, I was trying to help him. I don't judge anyone till I know them. Unless they try to kill me. I went from riches to rags when I was very young; A band of slavers. I escaped and travelled south to Redwall. Do you remember that day Song? Do you remember the day I entered the abbey gate looking like a ragged lump of brown fur, red linen, and mud?

Raiden, you're confused. I wasn't at the abbey yet. I wasn't even born. You're ten years older than me. **She sighed.**

That would make you twelve if that was true, as I'm only twenty-two. I came to Redwall fourteen years ago. I was there for nine years, then I left with Zidane, and Sunfire at seventeen. Remember that?

You look older. Yet, being three years older than me, I still wasn't at the abbey yet. But yes,, I remember you leaving.
