Subject: Sees Talem and his magnificent stature. Finally a beast that he could look down upon. Of course, not in an honorable sense, only physicall. The short squirrel laughed to himself. He liked Talem and figured that anybody going against a badger might need a lil assistance. So, Zukki silently leaped tree to tree until he was directly above Talem, fully covered in his camo-gear. He squeaked down to his fellow mercenary. "Hallow down there! Your oppenent has fled I see!" He floats swiftly down the tree and holds out a paw. "Oi! I reckon two lil slay beasts be better than one big dumb un anyday. Me names Zukki EmeraldEyes, darter and camoflauger extroadinaire. Need me, just call. I'm probably the bush standed right next to yeh anyway! Haha! I bes a helpin you if yeh wishes? When that blaggard gets back my special brew o Adder and nightshade dart aught to turn his silly stripe green as my eyes! Bye-the-way, what is yer name mate?"

In reply to: Sirenia Steelgrippe 's message, "**A blood-red feathered arrow hisses through the air, its shaft on fire, and thuds into the tree nearest the leaders, barely missing the nose of Kinnan**" on 19:48:09 03/18/02 Mon

Talem grinned as he shook Zukki's paw heartily, the badger he had challenged making no reply. While the bankvole kept wary eye out for the badger, he introduced himself to the short squirrel who had immediately struck him as a friend. "Name's Talem Baner, although I prefer Tal most o' the time, mate! Aye, two liddle, only in height mind ye, fellows like ourselves should stick together; stand on each other's heads an' we'd be jest as tall as any great hulkin' badger in all o' Mossflower!"
