"The rabbits have organized this quickly?"
🕑 Added 2020-08-19 23:08:23 +0000 UTCI asked in alarm. "Aren't they still feuding with the shoe cult?"
"They were," Oak replied. "But that didn't last long since the shoe cultists are a bunch of incompetent weenies. Their numbers were decimated and they fell back to Percysthorpe, where Lady Hawke hired a group of mercenaries to protect what was left of them. The rabbits were not interested in pursuing, and they seem to be afraid of actually entering the forest now, so they've established tight patrols of the perimeter to deny the shoe cult entry. But since Jerry's people were never interested in this place to begin with, it has turned out to be a new problem for us instead."
"Blast!" I exclaimed. "I can't figure out these rabbits. I need somebody to tell me all about their belief system and how they are organized. I probably should have a talk with what's her name, that witch we recruited last time."
"Rebecca," Oak reminded me. "It will be difficult getting her here, because of the patrols .. not to mention Rebecca's utter dread of meeting anyone from her old home."
"Maybe we could hire an assassin," I mused, thinking out loud. "To take out their leader or prophet or whatever."
"All of the local talent is currently employed by Lady Hawke," Vernier pointed out.
"Well, let's wait on that then," I sighed. "The primary reason I needed you to come here is because I need to know more about your Uncle Ash. Tell me about him."
"Well, he's terribly mysterious."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute," Vernier interrupted. "I think I came out here with false expectations. I was told that this elf lord was looking for skunk femmes, but it turned out he only needed an administrative assistant. He's small and dainty, dressed in a decadent green satin suit, and is the leader of a cult of hairdressers. Now he's alone in the middle of the woods with two beautiful femmes, and all he wants to talk about is your mysterious uncle. What exactly is going on here?"
"Hmm," Oak pondered. "I see what you mean. Mind you, I'm not complaining - but it is a bit suspicious."

Explaining that he hopes to find his lost fiance is a reasonable response for the skunk question. He can even go so far as to say that is why he started a cult because its the best way he knows how to get people to work for him while giving something he can reasonably offer. Saying he suspects the uncle might be an elf should be fine too and he simply wishes to connect with a fellow elf who may help him is a perfectly innocent and not lying answer. Answering as for why he is not interested. Surly our dear Addler is showing restraint and doing his best to be a respectable elf gentleman. It is not that he lacks interest, quite the opposite. He just does not want to get carried away like before. Which he can explain away with something like, he does not wish to make their relationship overly complicated. Then again his mom had him taught wiles for a reason and he needs to learn to competently use it to manipulate femms eventually. Vernier seems interested and willing. A moderate display should end her suspicions and distract her from further questions. As much as I'm amused by the idea of him using whiles on Oak there does not really seem to be any reason. She seems the type to be satisfied with a simple answer.
Well, Oak did say she wasn't complaining.

About time to remember your wiles lessons!

I am pretty amused by this, though I don't think Oak has much room to talk all things considered either. Eitherway, It is strange what the rabbits are doing now.

Yes what red blooded heterosexual manly elf doesn't show interest when surrounded by a pair of lovely ladies unless...

I mean. He could use some practice i guess. But after the "party"... It should be back to business. Also: he has a ton of "totally" faithful ixies which could scout for him and lurk while listening.
