Well, this bites the biscuit, apple, scone, trifle, bread and many other good things for many, many seasons past, present and in the future.  There is Jarril just barely awake, leaning against some rock not far from the mountain with Taye lying down beside him.  Muttering to himself.  "Bally rotter, could've at least untied us."  The major has already seen what has happened to his long ears and it's not lifted his spirit at all.  Frowning slightly.   "Oh this is gonna be embarassing..."

A cloud of dust starts to come into view a short way around the side of the mountain, slowly getting closer, a group of figures visible at the centre of the dust cloud as they run along the mountain

Jarril isn't sure to be happy about what is approaching or not from the position that he's in at the moment but since he can't exactly do anything about it, he just waits for the enevitable.

The hares get closer, there is four of them, recruits all the one in the lead is shorter then the others, its Quinten and he slides to a startled halt as he catches sight of the Major...dreading some kind of inspection or test, then he sees the ears...and the chains and hurries forwards

Sighing slightly, Jarril wishes that drug or whatever was still working as he looks at Quinten with a frown, speaking a bit groggily.  "Don't bally well ask.  Just get this stuff off me an Taye and get us bally well inside.  And ya not ta mention this ta anyone, I'll fail anyone that bally well does, wot.!

The recruits look at each other warily and move forwards, two of them kneel down near Taye working at the locks holding the chains, Quinten kneels down next to the Major and frowns "These are going to be hard to get off sir...you sure we shouldn't go get someone?"

Jarril frowns.  "Sure, find someone who can deal with metal but."  He leans forwards and nearly hisses.  "Absolutely not my cousin, ya understand.  She'll never let me hear the end of this."

Quinten blinks and nods, ears pinning back "yes Major sir...i'll try" he takes off for the mountain at a sprint, the recruits near taye have lifted him up, trying to get a reaction from the Private "He's out cold sah...what happened? yer ea..." he claps a paw to his mouth

Jarril mutters back. "I haven't a clue about my ears but I'll get that..."  Few chosen words is out from his mouth as he struggles about a bit but gives up.  "Could've left the key..."

Quinten is soon back with an older hare, its one of the weapons smiths, carrying a heavy hammer and a chisel, he kneels down and examines the lock "Nice work sir...though generally if your going to escape i'd suggest leaving the chains behind" he frowns at Taye and shakes his head "Recruit hold the chisel" he poisitions it on the lock and Quiniten takes hold of it, trying not to stare at the Major's ears, or Tayes "Sir...." is all he says trying to keep his eyes averted.

Jarril mutters something at the older hare.  "We didn't escape, we were left here but I'll be having a word with the hare on sentry duty and see if they saw anything.  Just as soon as I find out who was on duty that is..."

The hare brings the hammer down and with a clink of metal and chains part falling away, he then moves on to taye handing the chisel to another recruit. Quinten stands up and offers a paw to the Major "You look hurt sir...." he glances at Taye "I was going to get some healers and a stretcher but if i did that...the Colonel would find out"

Jarril nods his head.  "Just take us ta our rooms and nothing else."  He looks at Taye.  "He wake up soon enough but yes, nowhere near the infirmary."

Quinten shuffles and offers his shoulder to the Major, the other recruit moving to the other side "We can try sir..but those ears are going to...." he trails off and shuts up, there is only one logical way to hide those ears from the Colonel order the recruits to do it too, concoct some logical reason for it. best to keep quiet, not give him ideas and get them insides.

Jarril hops along slowly as he frowns slightly.  "Best not ta ask about this injury either, the less ya know, the less ya have ta say ta the colonel."

Jarril ponders.  "She find me and Taye eventually.  I'll just say someone found us and set us free and we made our way back here.  Trust me, ya really don't want ta get messed up in this."

Quinten nods "Yes sah...if you say so...wish i could help or something" eyes going to the ears again "What happened? Was it bloodthirsters? no it couldn't be...they'd not have let you go"

Jarril shakes his head.  "No, it wasn't a bloodthirster, but it's someone that is about and freely too as they knew a lot about me, Taye, and quite a lot of things actually.  Besides I have my reasons on thinking this."  He frowns.  "Ta be honest I haven't a clue what he really wanted.  All I know is that there are a few others about the place.  Well, I'll put a stop ta that one.."  He pauses.  "Aye, sneak a crotch out from the infirmary.  I'll be needing it."

Quinten nods as we make our way up to the niche and slip inside, Quinten dispatches one of the recruits elping to carry taye, and the smith takes over carrying him "Ok sir we'll get you one, never say your recruits don't help out" he peers down the corridor and nods "Ok i think we cna make it, colonel is in her office,"

Jarril grins.  "Ah, good job ya learnt ya training."  He slowly makes his way, twitching an furless ear in the direction of the big hall.  "Good, hares eating, that means no one will be about."

Quinten peers along towards the hall and nods his head "Yes sir...but the hares on duty will be taking food up to the infirmary....we should duck down into the caverns until its over we'd never make it back upstairs otherwise, without being seen" he frowns "How much...did they know? I mean how could they? don't you know who they are? Surely you recognised them"

Jarril frowns as he replies back.  "Put a sack on our heads, used darts ta knock us out.  We didn't see anyone at all."  Shaking his head.  "No, we have ta go up there now, there's a class for the cavern area right after the meal if it's the time I think it is.  Come on."

Quinten nods and still supporting the major sends the remaining two recruits ahead, the smith still carrying Taye, one of the recruits pops up and signals the all clear, and Quinten starts to move forwards thinking "Ok then sah we'll get you up there now come along we got a clear shot upstairs"

Jarril nods and slowly makes his way up the ramp as they come up to the part where the dormitories are.  Without saying anything else on the matter, Jarril is helped into his own and nods his head as he sits down on the bed and smiles. "Thanks, ya best get something ta eat."
