"otay!" Taggle said excitedly, clinging onto Blade. " whaddya think we's makin?" He asked, the wind ruffling his fur. As he looked at Blade, he smiled, and his eyes twinkled remind Blade...exactly of Taggles father. It was as if Blade was looking back in time. He (Blade) began to rember Taggles father, and a certain event in particular....

Blade looked at the dibbun...it brought back a memory that happened about three and half seasons ago. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the far north Irvine's holt had made a stop for regathering supplies for his ship. They had traveled far on foot and were not getting anywhere. They decided to split up and they would meet back there in 4 days days. Blade traveled a day journey until he came to meet a holt. stepped foreward twoards the holt and was greeted by a spearhead at his neck. He gulped loudly. " This is a...*gulp* cold welcome...hehe?" The otter put away the spearhead and offered a paw which Blade accepted. " My names Ursan. You must forgive the tight security." said the otter. Blade laughed " It's alright! I probrobly would had killed you in you had you stepped onboard our ship! So its really no problem at all! My name is Blade Iv come looking for supplies for our ship." he said. sitting on a nearby log around the fire. Ursan sat down as well placeing the spear on the ground. His wife Bell came and sat beside him with an otter infant. " This is my wife bell." he said he looked down at the infant and smiled. " And our newest son Taggle." Blade looked at the dibbun noticing the furry star birthmark on his paw. " We'll be happy to offer what supplies we can spare." said ursan. " That would be great...im not really due back at the spot for another few days...Would be okay if i stayed?" asked blade. " Of course matey! Although ya arnt gonna just lounge around while we'll workin' " Blade laughed aloud, "I wouldnt have it anyother way!".
Bell shoved Ursan. " Mind yer manners Ursan! He can sit around all day if he wishes...you are our guest and you may do what you like." Blade smiled, "Its quite alright Id be happy to do some work." During the next few days The holt way busy with fishing and mending to the weapons shining and sharpening them During the sharpening Blade cut his paw and a sharp blade and curssed aloud. He began to suck the blood of his pawand spat it out. He looked around and stopped smiling awkwardly. " You arnt from around here are ya?" said Ursan with a newfound curiosity. " Eh..." started Blade " Yer from the sea right? " asked Ursan. Blade smiled "Eh..yeah! Sorry about that matey." Ursan shook his head with a smile and continued sharpening the blades.
A few days later Blade knew it was time for him to take his leave. it was morning and the otters had packed him a cart full of supplies. " You all have been very kind to me..i thank you for takin' me in and makin;' sure i didnt cuase any trouble around the holt. Hehe! Oh er...sorry about the bump on the head..." said balde with a smile ." ursan held up a paw and rubbed his head. " Im sure it will heal in time...." he said " I doubt it..." Muttered Blade restraightening his face. He held the little otter dibbun taking' a long note of him. "Grow to be a warrior matey!" he said. He handed him back to Bell and pushed the cart into the woods waving a paw back to them.
Blade met back at the spot Irvine had told the 2 days later than he was supposed to only to find them waiting there. Irvine had his arms crossed and a frustrated look on his face. " I wont even ask! Just start walking!" shouted Irvine as he stared walking back to the ship. He stubbled of through the woods walking faster than the rest and talking loudly to himself. " Four day! Thats all a Give ya! Four days!"

"otay!" Taggle said happily, running off to the kitchens to help one-eye. He had no idea that Blade had met his parents. He was the picture of innocence.

Taggle looked over at Blade with a puzzled look. " what'cha mean? what were dey like?" he asked. Mistreatment by vermin had affected some of Taggles memory. (( if ur interested more in this, check out taggles history thread in lora))

" was i dere?" He asked, again. Mistreatment on a vemrin ship, and getting hit on the head by a mast-spar had affected his memory. He rembered very little of his mother, father or holt.
