“Indeed she is,” Callisto chuckled to Zara’s observation. For now, with his offer accepted, he elected to shelve too many of the machinations which would come with it. Tonight was a night for forging those connections and getting to know the beasts of the Imperium: though nigh impossible to turn...

Hello and welcome, Isbrand! Lovely to have you :) And lovely to have yet another on the European side: we're slowly growing bahaha. Pearls of Lutra is one of my favourites, too! I remember the hunt for the pearls being so exciting when I read it as a kid, and Romsca being a favourite. As above...

Hello, Herman! Glad to have you with us, and see that you look to be settling in well with the BlackShip :) Familiarity with the Redwall novels isn't truly necessary to enjoy the forum, and the more you dive in the more you'll come to know how the Imperium works by osmosis. Agreed with Jesh that...

The todd’s emphatic apologies were well received by Callisto. He was never immune to flattery, and in such circumstances saw little reason to think it insincere. The Frost Fair had been so long imagined that appreciation for its execution was unexpectedly warming. Perhaps the citizens of Bully...

The set of Callisto’s ears likely offered more indication of his internal thoughts than his placid face would have liked. It was his own fault for asking for candour, of course, but he had not expected the outlook to sound quite so dire to his own assessments. The comfort of Maquistry Cape and...

Lovely. Social manoeuvrings had felt clumsy in his early years, but time and practice seemed to have paid off: Irene had read the situation perfectly and known there was little easy means to rebuff his offer. So she would try and follow social conventions at least – that was information worth...

As Orina introduced her eclectic entourage, Callisto allowed himself the opportunity to make assessments which he could mull over later. There were a number of beasts in attendance from several influential corners of the Imperium and he was keen not to play his paw too hastily around such...

The wolverine’s easy smile did not shift and neither did the inscrutable intentions which sat behind it. Marianna’s hesitation spoke volumes; the surname she had kept, the simple moniker of employer. Another beast with complex familial ties. At least he was not alone as such in a city like this...

Another toothy grin was offered to the pretty vixen, evidently pleased that she had accepted the bauble without complaint. It was the spirit of the season, one supposed, though his mind continued to turn over the prospects this generous time of year might have for his work. Callisto could not...

There was nothing further Callisto needed to do save let the silver fox undo himself and everything he had worked for. Through the entirety of his tirades and the Empress’ cool handling of the matter he had remained immobile, expression crafted into one of detached serenity as he waited...

Callisto made early assessment that he rather liked Ruffano’s energy: his turns pf phrase felt pleasing to the ear for the theatrically inclined wolverine, and he made note for a later date to have some Kreehold keep an eye out for the fox. He may well prove useful down the line. For now he...

Closing the door as softly as one of his size could manage, the wolverine lingered for only a moment with his paw upon the handle. He was not here to intimidate, not by intention at least, but there was a power in the implicit; a currency he would soon need to spend but wanted to hold onto for a...

Making his way onto the ice, Callisto allowed the sights, sounds and scents to wash over him like the wreathing smoke of the stalls busily frying and warming their various delicacies. There was something bittersweet aching in his guarded heart, memories of early seasons in Caer Eira Haf spent...

Fearne was well used to dealing with clerical matters, it being the bread and butter of her training since joining Commerce, but when she had followed her employer from personal tasks to those at the Ministry, even so far as to assessing the right location for the Kreehold Barracks, she hadn’t...

This was the moment. Years in the waiting, months in the planning and weeks in the preparing had all led to this audience. Callisto felt no fear, no anxiety for the performance: ambition needed boldness and he was ready to make his play. The wolverine waited until the summons to make his...
