I just want to let everyone know Velm is still around ICLY.
He is still Master Healer and can be spoofed and mentioned as so
He is a bit of a loner, he will attend important missions but rarely leaves the infirm or his room which is by the infirm. He says few words to others and is just kind of ....well there. He does his job and takes it seriously. He just dislikes leaving the mountain ever since his former mate left him and took his son with them
So he can be moody at times but otherwise a loyal hare.

* It seems the Badger Lord room doesn't radio...its ok still got the short log abd posted *

Who:
Velm- Chief Healer
Ciocan-Badger Lord
Oz-Badger
Terrence-Master Sargent

Salamandastron: Badger Lord's Room
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Salamandastron *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
The chamber you step into looks as if it was clawed into the very rock of the mountain. A high, craggy celing and bare walls give the room a decidely spartan look, fitting of a warrior. The bed is actually a large stone slab, heavily strew with large pillows, big enough to accommodate the Badger Lord Ciocan. A table sits on one side of the room, a circular oak affair surrounded by four large chairs. On the same side is a large fireplace, over which are two sets of wall hanging hooks, most likely for the rulers weapontry. On the remaing side is a large window hacked from the stone, facing out over the endless expanses of sand and sea, a portal for the Lord to watch over his domain.

Velm makes his way to the doorway and sighs as he tries to think what the Badger Lord could want from him. The hare has spent a lot of time in the infirmary, he is the Chief Healer after all and he has his office right by the infirm as well, where he slso spends time, a lot of time. He moves a paw to the door and knocks

Ciocan looks up "Do please enter Velm,I need to ask a favor of you." Also in the office is Oz, taller now and,well..he has grown up clearly.He sits off to the side and waves when the hare enters the room.

Velm blinks"Oz?" He chuckles some and smiles faintly"Been a while your..so much taller now but wot are ya doin' here?" He then salutes to Ciocan"Your Lordship, what did ya need sur. If its the updated supply list for the infirm I can have a chat with the Private that was supposed to  deliver that,but all is well in the infirm and well stocked. All hares have completed thier recent check ups,even got yours sur, and all hares are in good  health,and yes you too sur."

Ciocan  nods,he smiles as he folds his paws onto his desk"Yes, I got that. No thats not it. I need you to escort Oz to Redwall,and when you get to the abbey there is a Privarte Alice jo anna Milsap,a fighter, who needs escorted back to here, She completed her training at the 67 but will meet you at the abbey." He then waits on a reply.

Velm listens as the Badger Lord speaks and replys "Me sur/ I am sure you could have someone else do it. I..I rather not go on a long trip,besides I am needed here."

Ciocan shakes his head as he speaks "Velm, I have healers still that can help while your away, and I think you need to get out of the mountain for a few weeks. Be honest with me, when was the last time you been away,even to Halyard, or even outside the mountain at all?And the crater doesn't count."

Velm ears droop "I..I mean..sur..please"He  is silent and finally speaks,knowing its best to reply rather than try to argue with the Badger Lord "Tis been a while..ever since.."He frowns" Ever since my wife left,she took our son with her.I did try to follow but when I found her she didn't want me in her life anymore,she said she didnt want the patrol life and that our son didnt need it either. I choose the Long Patrol and,,and maybe that was wrong,I don't know. She loved the patrol,I don't know why she decided to just leave."He holds back a tear "I miss her,I miss my son..a son I barely even got to know."He shrugs"I suppose I just had no reason to leave the mountain aftter that,and rather still not leave."

Ciocan stands and goes over to Velm" Velm, it wiould do you some good. I want all my hares at the best they can be, mentally as well. Staying inside all the time,isnt good. You rarely leave your office .And yes hares have mentioned it yo me,how you take meals toyour office and sleep there."He pauses before he goes on" I would like you to get Oz to the abbey safly and stay a little while, and then escort Private Millsap back here."

Velm nods"Fine sur, I will do as you say"He stands up better " Maybe some travel and fresh air would do me some good, and I suppose time away.I do have a hare that can be left in cgharge of the infirm if anything is needed before I go."He then asks"When do I head out?"

Ciocan smiles and gets a folder off his desk and hands it to the Chief Healer"Tomorrow morning, you and Oz can head off then.I will make sure you both have supplies for the trip."

Velm salutes "Yes sur"He then heads out of the office and decides, today he will have lunch in the dinning hall, its been a while after all since he has stayed in the dinning hall for a meal.

==Dinning Hall====(Couple Hours Later)

Velm sits at one of the smaller round tables of the infirm with his lunch. A couple hares watch him and mutter to theselfs, another hare seems surprised to see him and salutes,the Chief Healer raises a paw "At ease Private.."The Private hurries to a table across the room. Velm slowly chews and swallows a bite of food and glaces around.He is out of his office and acahally sitting down in the dinning Hall in stead of rushing off as he usally does. He sits quietly at his table,for now just him.

"I see you escaped the infirm, captain," Terrence says with a friendly salute, though he doesn't sit. "Is it a special occasion, sir?"
   
Velm glaces up and sips his tea before speak" Hallo Terrence, and prehaps. I am not sure, I would be in my office but it seems I been asked to venture out and that I spend too much time thar."A soft sigh escapes"I also will be away a few weeks,need to escort someone to de abbey and escort someone from the abbey back to here"   

Terrence blinks, the pleasantries forgotten. "The abbey? Who?" He wipes the initial surprise form his face. "Sir. Don't tell me another hare went rogue."
   
Velm shakes his head "No, thank goodness."He clears his throat'A ew Private from the 67th is being sent here. A private Milsap"He points to the folder beside him."His Lordship wants me to escort her here, and also use the trip as..time away"He sounds a little annoyed but one doesn't disagree with the Badger Lord." I guess fresh air,sunshine..wot ever may do me some good."   

Nodding, Terrence relaxes somewhat. He doesn't recognise the name. "I see, captain. Very good." He adds, almost too casually, "I suppose a squad ought to go with you, then? I'm not too sure how safe the passage from here to Mossflower is."   

Velm shrugs "I am not sure either. I know tis been mostly peacefull, which is good but peace doesn't last forever."He finsihs his drink " Maybe a couple hares could tag along with me and Oz, just in case. How many hares are active now on the western shore?"
   
"Around two companies worth," Terrence replies, "About sixty fit for fighting duty if you include the Homeguard. Thirty-eight if you don't. But I have some hares I'd like transferred to the 67th, and vice-versa."   

Velm nods" Maybe you could see if his Lordship will help you with that, or if you already know whom..maybe I can see on waiting a few days and they go along with me, and then jion me on the way back to the Mountain. I haven't really kept up with whos here and who is not, I mean I did have a list since everyone had thier checkups for the season." He the ads "Sorry o of..keep ta meself for so long, losing Donica I gues was harder fer me than I thought"   

Terrence nods, slowly. "Thankfully no issues beyond a stray toad here and there have been pressing as of late." He offers a kind, if awkward smile. "Hardly the thing you're needed for, so don't trouble yourself overly. Now, er, As for who to go with you, I can put that together in a few hours even. A day would be more pleasant though, just to give some warning of course."   

Velm nods"Of course, I will let his Lordship know I can head off in a couple days instead, it was to be in the morning,but I do also need a bit of time to get ready myself for a trip like that. I am glad tis peaceful. as for travel it will likely be the trail that follows the river moss, I think anyways.Any news on how things are at the abbey? Or Mossflower even"   

Terrence finally sits down, leaning back with a shrug. "Not much. The 67th reports things are stable, and no vermin horde has appeared for seasons. Which is good. But rumours say smaller bands are roaming, going about their wicked business. Rumours, mind. Not scout report has found anything," he adds, with a second thought, "Though they are delayed somewhat."   

Velm nods"I see, well hopefully all stays well. It is spring now as well, winter could of slowed news, one never knows. It will be good to visit the abbey."He grins slightly"Maybe stay for a feast, Redwall feasts are always the best."
   
"So I've heard." Terrence says, "It'll be good for you I bet. If you wish to linger out there too with spring time, I'm sure the lord Ciocan would understand, and the brass."   

Velm replys"Right, I may I dont know yet.As I said tis been a while since really been outside. I kept up with training some when needed in the training room." He likely shouldf of done more but he has kept in shape with situps and pushups in his office.   

"Ha, well, sir," Terrence says with a grin, "Perhaps you can tag along for one of the dreadful outings to the marshlands one of these days, after you get back of course."   

Velm frowns"Maybe, I will have to see I suppose"   

"Anyway, captain," Terrence rises. It's unclear if he ever ate. "I suppose I ought to go figure out who you'll bring out to Mossflower. Shouldn't be too long a delay, sir, so don't you worry."   

Velm nods"We can talk later on details Sargent."
   
With a salute, Terrence says, "Aye, sir." With that the master sergeant departs.

He got pwiped...so did the my master healer at Redwall

Both  ICLY alive in case needed to know.

Likely he just spends a lot of time in his office  or in infirm cause...well he is chief healer of LP.

WHO:

Velm -Chief Healer of LP/Captain

Ciocan-Badger Lord

LOG:

Velm was outside, taking deep breaths and trying his best to regain focus on what just happen but a few morments ago.He looked downshore as if trying to catch sight of something,or someone.A frown on his face but also confusion and a slight bit o anger,though the anger was worse ealier.So bad in fact a couple Privates who started to go out decided it was best to just stay inside for now.

Ciocan liked to go outside and be near the sea shore.He had briefly spoke to the two Privates and nodded as he dismissed them and went on outside to where his chief healer stood.

Velm starts muttering and rubs his temples"Wot to do...go after her,...no no can't..should tell...someone.I..I don't know..."He shakes his head and looks ready to try and bolt after her,maybe he could get her back weather she wanted back or not.

Ciocan wentto lay a gentle paw on the hare's shoulder"Velm..." He had  heard most of what happen thanks to a Private Milo,who seemed to of spied on the two hares Velm and Donica.After hearing the report he told Private Milo to next time just get an officer if he was concern,  not just stay and watch a argument.

Velm jumped and spung around going on auto pilot to knock out who ever sneaked up on him ,his eyes widen and he managed to stop himself just in time.."S..S..Sir!"He quickly saluted and stood at attention.

Ciocan rasied his paw"No need for that Captain Velm.Now let's go my office, shall we? I like to know your side of story as I have heard bits and pices of what the Private said they  heard or maybe thought they  did."

Velm sighs and nods as he goes to  follow the badger to his office, the walk there is quiet,then again most are still in taining drills or maybe eatting dinner.Velm was not intrested in dinner at all.He still was a bit confused and some shaken up over Donica just, just leaveing.

Ciocan has a runner get him and Velm a plate each,and also to bring up one of the apple pies, and some drinks."Now Velm...what happen?"

Velm took a deep breath to calm himself,it worked mostly but still he was still a bit tense."Corpal Donica sur...she...she .."He frowns and tried to form the words"She left sur, she just..left, left me..left the patrol and I don't know why.She said she was done with the patrol and ..I told her she couldnt just walk off and lave, it was a form of abandonment and she just  yelled at me...and yes I yelled back,I was..upset.She then just walked off,and...and worse she..she had..had our...me and her..son with her. She just suddenly said she was leaveing and for me to go with her, I told her..I couldnt..couldnt leave..and so ..."He fights some tears "She's gone..sur.Somewhere headed downshore...should I go after her?Bring her back? Not go after her?"

Ciocan frowned as he listened to what was said and sighs deeply.This was a serious maatter tio leave to desert the patrol like that."No stay here Velm. Your my chief healer...I need you, the patrol needs you."He shaked his head"As for Corpal Donica....this matter will be dealed with"He stands up"Captain, inform any leaders with the rank Sargeant and up,there is to be a meeting in the meeting room."

Velm stands"Yes sur...ummm when sur?"

Ciocan looks up as food arrives,he then speaks"In an hour,gives time  for them to have dinner first,you go deliver the message of the meeting.No need to tell them what it's about they can find out when they arrive..and then come back here to eat  dinner with me"He wants to make sure Velm eats."Then when it's time me and you can walk in together."

Velm nods and goes to tell those who need to be at the meeting Hall to go, and when to go and then heads back to the Badger Lord's office to eat dinner and he does eat so thats good.

The meeting is had in the meeting room and all called in is informed what happen and a discussion of what to do about it is had. Also for the officers to remind all hares of how serious it is when anyone does an action such as desserting.
