The martin however couldn't help but to notice the strange red mark upon the squirrel's paw. "Hmm....what is that....if you don't mind my asking?" Philip pointed at the squirrel's paw now with a degree of interest, having never seen something like that before in all his time writing stories.
Otto noticed it too, trying to think if he'd seen it before or not.

"Oh, the spiral?," Sciurus replied in an offpaw manner. He had become used to being asked this question, as the birthmark was unusual, and often caught the attention of other creatures.
"It's a birthmark, and it has in fact given rise to my surname, Whirlpaw, which was what my friends called me when I was younger. Carry on, friend."
The squirrel spoke the last sentence in an expectant tone of voice, as he waited for the induction to continue, trembling slightly under the glare of the eyes of so many creatures.

"Hm....interesting....but yes." Philip shifted his attention back to where it needed to be, namely on the job at paw. "Very well then. Do you, Sciurus Whirlpaw, pledge your alliance to the Cordeliers Club, and to honor its rules statements and seek to carry out its directives to the best of your abilities? If so, please answer I do."
Otto waited by Sciurus's side, eager for his friend's induction to be completed. It wasn't a very long induction, just an acceptance in to the brother hood. It was good that the squirrel was going through this, as Otto had long hoped for this moment to be honest, ever since meeting Sciurus in fact.

A new resolve flooded through Sciurus Whirlpaw. As he had said, he would do what ever he could to aid the club. He had met such friendly creatures, and was immensely taken with them. He swore silently to himself that he would do anything to protect those he had, and was yet to, meet. He had always been loyal to causes he had supported in the past, and this was no exception. His eyes sparkled with the light of determination, as he spoke the words, "I do."

"Good! Then your initiation is now complete! I hereby induct you as Brother Whirlpaw, and sincerely welcome you in to our ranks! Please be aware that this means that you may not associate with any other club now aside from the Cordeliers, and that you now have access to this place on a regular basis. Here's your badge....."
Eglantine reached in to a pouch of his that he always carried with him whenever he was inside the club building, and took out the same sort of pin that Otto was wearing. The vigilant eye was upon it, and he handed it over to Sciurus. "Wear that freely wherever you go. Our fellow members will recognize you with it on. Make no mistake....you're one of us now, and have sworn on oath."
Otto grinned, showing his teeth and pumping Sciurus's arm heartily. "Aye mate, welcome to the Brotherhood! Very happy you've come to this decision! It means the world to me.....it really does. I really hope to get you involved in some way or another once we become more active about overthrowing the monarchy." It was clear the blue otter was happy, and one could easily tell by his natural accent that had slid back in almost casually.

Sciurus threaded the badge through the coat that he was wearing, replying to the otter.
"You've really opened my eyes up to what's going on here, Otto, and I thank you for that. This revolution is bigger than any one of us, and it seems that things will really begin to escalate over the next while. I'm glad that I'm prepared, and I'll do my bit willingly."

"Oh you'll be prepared alright. I'd like you to attend our club meetings when we hold them, and try to get actively involved in any major activities we have going on. I'm very glad you decided to join us in the end. I can officially accept you as a brother now I think." the otter clapped the squirrel heartily on the back.
"Ahem...." a noise came from behind the two of them, and one could see that Camille had wandered on over, his tail flicking from one side of his body to the next. "C-c-c-congratulations Sciurus! W-w-w-welcome to our ranks!" he exclaimed happily, nodding in satisfaction.

"Why, thank you, Camille," Sciurus replied with a twinkle in his eye.
"I'd like to ask a favour of the three of you, as a matter of fact. Otto has already begun telling me of what exactly is going on, and I'm beginning to understand how and why a revolution was started, but there are still some things I am uncertain about, so if you lot wouldn't mind, could you explain it to me? I hadn't heard of this revolution before I bumped into my otter friend just a few short hours ago, so it comes as a great surprise and shock to me," the squirrel said, taking a seat in the nearest chair. The tired hypnotist was glad of the opportunity to put his paws up for a while, as he had been on the go all day.

"Oh?" Otto pulled over a chair himself from one of the tables, turned it around and sat backwards in a jaunty manner on it, showing much disdain for "proper custom" in which nobles would commonly sit in chairs. He didn't care, he was a revolutionist after all, and would sit however he pleased.
Eglantine shook his head, but stayed close by to address questions, as did Camille. "Well then, why not tell us what these 'things' are that you're still having trouble wrapping your tail around, and we'll do the absolute best we can to answer your questions." he grinned, rubbing his paws eagerly as they hung over the back end of the chair in a lazy manner. He was planning on giving Sciurus quite the education if he could.

"Well," Sciurus hesitated a moment before beginning to interrogate the trio.
"First of all, I need to know why exactly this revolution broke out. Apologies, Otto, but I'm not sure you were clear enough in regards to this earlier on.
Also, am I to understand that there is a possibility of war? With Kostritz, if I'm not mistaken. What is this treaty that they signed?"
