The morning sun was starting to rise as She passed Salamandastron. Whitewood was waiting for her. "Why did you do that?" "Do what?" "Let me go." "Oh, that! Well under normal circumstance. I'd have loved to see them tare you apart. But for some reason Dodder likes you. I can't see why but she dose, your a bit of a twit. Dodder would have my head if I let them kill you, and I likes my head where it is." "Oh, righto." Whitewood paused for a moment watching the ferret leave. Running to catch up with her he said. " I just wanted to....ummmmmm." "Thank me?" "Well ummmmmm This is jolly odd." " Don't worry Whitewood, I won't tell any of your chums about you getting caught and crying like a mousemaid." "Thank you, Hey wait a tick I didn't cry like a bally mouesmaid. Why you.." Killicia went off chuckling to herself.







The next afternoon Dodder, Killicia Whitewood and old Colonel Flintrun sat in the officers mess. Killicia told how she had helped Whitewood escape and get the information from the captain. Leaving out most of the battle details and crying bits. "So this Stonetooth Chap has sailed off." Flintrun said. "Aye he has. Not that he really matters, he was only a leach of Firetail. That fox is gone for a while, but he'll pops up again. he always dose, you'll get him Dod." "Well very good, but Next time Miss Killicia please leave patrol matters to the patrol. Now if you'll excuse me I must tell his lordship, about all this, wot wot." The old hare left shaking his head. Who had ever heard of a ferret saving a hare. "Killicia, "Whitewood began." Did you know them ? They talked to you like you did." " The corsairs? I did once, But I don't anymore." Dodder noticed the cut across her friends shoulder. "Did Stonetooth do that ? You really should put something on it, wot." "It's fine, he may have cut me. But he got his. ever since he left me behind, I half hoped I'd see him again . To repay him for all he done for me." "He's dead isn't he?" "Perhaps, but he thought I was dead. So you can never really tell." The ferret turned very solemn." Always know who your friends are mates. Never let anyone hurt you, or pretend they are your friends. Only bad things happen then. Trust me on this one. Well I best go. Don't you two have work or something to do? Go protect the western coast or what ever you hares do." With that Killicia went home.
