Alana couldn't take it anymore. "William", she screamed in frustration. "Stop it... this isn't funny".

Alana felt that she was going out of her mind. But then again... Khalida was always speaking dragon-tongue. "Tall, long black hair, piercing green eyes, black clothing", she answered. "Black leather boots, hair in a pony-tail. And lots of weapons... and I mean lots".

The badger stared at her. "YOU know Karrelon?"

Alana went silent. Who or what was a Karrelon. "Beg your pardon?" she said with a frown. "Who?"

Alana didn't know if she should trust this..... badger. For two reasons. One: He could be lying to her. Two: He was a badger... they weren't supposed to walk and talk like a man.
Hesitantly so went with him... wondering if she would regret every step.

The badger led her through the front gate of the abbey, and into a large dining hall decorated with lots of flowers. Inside was a long table, where many different animals, from squirrels and mice to otters and porcupines all dined together on nuts, seeds and berries. they were all larger than they ought to be. at the head of the table sat william, who didnt see them as they walked in.

Alana folded her arms as she looked at William with an eyebrow raised. "Mind telling me why you're doing this?" she asked loudly. "This isn't funny William".

"Funny? who said it ought to be funny?" William said, standing and walking towards her. "These are my friends, the inhabitants of redwall." then he led her outside, around the building they were in. "They help tend my gardens, and I help them with whatever I can. I helped build this very abbey. But come, see what they and I together help grow." then he led her to a garden, in which grew everything one could think of, from vegetables to roses (lots of roses) to every kind of exotic flower imaginable. It was huge as well as wondrous.

Alana thought the garden was magnificent but she wasn't finished with him. "You brought me here and just disappeared on me", she snapped glaring at him. "Then what do I find... a badger. That walks and talks like a man..." She looked away from him, raising her hand to take hold of the gold locket that she wore around her neck. "You're not who I thought you were..."

William looked at her for a moment, then laughed, just flat out laughed, like he'd never laugh again, head thrown back, laughing to the sun in the sky, almost to the point of tears. "Not what you expected..." he slowly levelled off his laughing till it was but a chuckle now and again, then turned to her and said, "and who did you think I was?"

Alana turned around and slapped him. Hard... she even left a scratch behind. "Someone who cared about someones safety", she shouted at him. "Isn't that bloody obvious". She glared at him, before running off. Throwing the roses down... tears were streaming from her eyes. Khalida had warned her before... and she hadn't listened. Never fall for a guy that would leave you behind.

William slowly gathered the roses, before burning them to ash and letting them float among the flowers. then he did something he had promised he'd never do again. he teleported to where Alana had run off to with the intention of explaining himself. "Milady, will you hear me out?" he asked, his voice low.

Alana just stormed past him. "Why bother", she snapped. "You're probably only going to run off on me again".
