Yes I Do" Stripetail said, going to a cupboard and pulling out a large pot. He tapped om the side of the pot. And the pot began to fill with water, Now put the potatoes and spices into the ppot" He said to taggle.

[taggle]

he put the potatoes in the pot. "do you knows any good songs? taggle knows lotsa lotsa songs." he said

[LordStripetail]

I don't sing very much. Don't have time for it. Although my voice was considered very good in my youth..."

[taggle]

"ah singa song.pleeeease?" he said, almost begging. it was comical to say the least. he added pepper to the pot. ((ok.. to make it sound real.. i have found the official dibbun dictionary lol....... man some of the words confuse even me......))

[LordStripetail]

Stripetail finally gave in. "Alright.. but I need to get my voice warmed up first...I'll sing a song for you once the soup is done Ok?"

[taggle]

"yay!" he said excitedly. the soup started coming to a boil. he added the shrimp, and let it stew. after about 5 minutes it was done. "where's a bowls?" he asked. he looked around, and found them. he struggled to pull two out, then set them on the table. he wouldn't touch the soup pot because it was to hot.((hmm.. i been studying jacques books.... half his songs are either lullabies or marching songs. the rest are riddles.... i can play one marching song on my clarinet lol. i call it "by the stream" in the book pearls of lutra. woops now i've gone and gotten it stuck in my head.... it'll be there all day now.))

[LordStripetail]

(Well This song I'll just make up.. it's basically and old lulaby Stripetail remembers from his youth..)
Stripetail carefully carried the pot onto the table. "Now Excuse me I need to go warm up.. He walked into the next room, and taggle could hear him practicing his singing. At first it was a bit rough and rusty, but as Stripetail kept at it, the quality of his singing greatly improved. Stripetail had a baritone voice, and it was filled with the sense of experienxce and memory...

[taggle]

*taggle poured himself some soup as he listened to stripetail sing, it seemed to almost make him sleepy, but then he took a swig of the soup, and his face became extremeley red, which woke him up completley((that's some hot soup...but then again...the 'otter it is the more otters likes it!))

[LordStripetail]

Stripetail finshing warming up and came into the room. "having seconds are we?' he chuckled as he saw the yound otter pour himself some more soup. "Save some for me please.." He laughed as he sat down..

[taggle]

"s' really good!" he says. you notice his face is close to being beetred from the soup.((a hole lotta hotroot lol)) he finishes the bowl, and leans back.

[LordStripetail]

STripetail gave him some water to drink. "Here, you need to get your color back to normal. anyway, where are your parents? Do they know where you are?" He asked.

[taggle]

he drank it greedily."i no have parents. the vermin came, i ascaped...... they didn't..do you gots any parents?" he says, and he starts to look distant.

[LordStripetail]

No, they're long gone." stripetail replied. "I live by myself. Were you the only survivor of the vermin raid?'

[taggle]

"yes. pappa defended the holt, mamma and I ran through da forest, she pushed me into a hollow tree. they d'nt see me... but i fink dey caught her. after awhile i got out of the tree.. and started running.. and found here!...anyways.. i though u was gonna sing a song"

[LordStripetail]

Sorry..' Stripetalil smiled sheepishly , and began to sing softly
" I wander through this world alone,
beneath the glowing moon.
I've seen my family and friends
taken away far too soon.
But thier memories are strong
and hope never dies.
For wherever I go, they are with me inside.
He began to sing in another language, repeating the above lines as a refrain.
