"Days n' Days?" Cody said with a mock horrored look on his face. "Well we can't have breave yun' Otters like ye starvin'. Well that is blinkin' un'eard of I say. Wot wot!" He said said as he looked around. He noticed an apple tree & started picking apples. He walked over to the group with an arm full. He put them on the ground. He tossed one to Taggle. "It's not much but it will keep yer stomach from growling for a while." He said with a smile. "If on'y I 'ad a pot." He said to himself as he looked at one the apple in his hand.

Redstripe stood far enough away that he couldn't be seen, Hitchaw was beside him,"Hitchaw, git ova dere an keep dat wee otter babe safe got it?" Redstripe turned to Hitchaw and smiled warmly,"I ave ta be elseweres an can nay sta ere. Soo git ova dere now." Redstripe turned and started to walk away but stopped,"Oh, an ya can take ma vittles, I ain't be needen em." He pointed to a large sack by a tree, he noticed Hitchaw had no food in his pack. Redstripe walked away disappearing into the tree line heading away from the group.
"Will do mate." Hitchaw said watching Redstripe saunter on his way. He grabbed up the sack and took a look inside."Hmmm, lets see. Theres some vials of cordial, looks like some the island shrews made him, proably the pineapple bannana. An some dried fish, couple of apples, a loaf of bread, oooo some chesse, an a flask of otroot soup! The gert beast he knew me favorite." He smiled as he flung the sack over his shoulder and headed for the clearing where Loyal, Brave, Taggle, Arlan, and Cody were."Ello mates!"

"Ya poor beast. Never 'avin' an apple afor?" Cody said in a sad solemn voice. As he helds his ears getting ready to wipe away tears. Just the Hitchaw came walking into view. "Well ello there Hitch-er-thing-gummy. "

"Do you eats...oh you poor young otter." Cody said as he look at him. "Yeah ya eat it. Tis a very juicy an' sweet fruit. A shame we didn't 'ave any cookin' equipment 'ete. I make a top hole apple puddin'. Though I don' like ta brag or nothin'."

"fwuit.. hmm.." Taggle said, biting into the apple. He chewed on it reflectively, testing it. " 's juicy. crunchy too. So sweet! Taggle likes it. Apple puddin.. nevew had it eder." He said, shivering from the sweetness of the apple. He had never tasted anything that sweet before. " is it anyfink like seabewwy bwead?" He asked. He was referin to the seaberry, a small tart berry that grew far up in the northlands by the sea. It was The ONLY fruit like substance where Taggle's holy had been. Then there was rockbread part. The famous otter saying was if'n ye can't eat with it, fight with it! Combined, the two made something that could be..called..sweet. Though anyone who had had any normal fruit would know that seaberry bread was indeed very bitter.

" s ferry ferry hard bread, big as dis!" The otterbabe said, holding out his paws a fair length apart. " Taggle no likes it though. To hard ta chew!" he explained, a grain of truth in it. Eating seaberry bread was like trying to eat a soft rock.

When we get ta wherever we are goin'. I will be sure ta make some Apple puddin'. Tis my ma's recipe. Absolute flippen' lutely tha best ye ever 'ad. Best cook I ever knew. His eyes shone brightly as he thought back at the great food his mom would serve. That was before he left to become a member of the long patrol. Just then he came back to the real world. He stood up straight & saluted the group. If'n you will excuse me mates. I must take a short leave. I will be back in a lickety-bally ol' split. He bowed before taking off in a flash.

" w'eres he goink?" Taggle asked, watching him go. He looked up at Mossflower wood, the birds singing out songs, blending together to create a beautiful harmony. His green stone slipped out of his hand, falling upon the ground. He reached down, trying to get it, but couldn't from Loyal's claws. The sun hit it, but showed nothing this time since it was on the ground.

Cody was gone for some time. Then a faint voice echoes through the forest. "One Two! One Two! One Two! C'mon chaps. But yer balley legs in'ta it." As the voice drew closer the voice could be heard in details as a masculan, deep voice. One of a beast in his middle years. "Reginal keep up would ye? For Flippin' fiddle sakes why did I get stuck with ye bounder o' scoundrels? Rackle stomp chewin' on tha stalk o' celery. Present yerself in a manner fittin' tha long patrol. "
"Chomp! Chomp! Yessir. Chomp! Chomp! Righ' away sa. Chomp! Chomp! 'Ill oo ach oo crachay" " The hare pauses for a moment. "Rackle jus' swallow the blinkin' thing & spit it out!" Another hares voice rings out. "Why would he swallow it if'n he is jus' gonna spit it out?" There is a loud groan as the deep voice. A few seconds later a group of Hares with Cody Swift walking beside the lead hare walks into the clearing.
