Donica-Recruit and Healer in LP

Gregorian- Lt., Fighter and Blacksmith in LP

Keldorn-GUOSIM warrior

LOG:

Donica had finally gotten use to all the swaying and moving of the boat. She had been sea sick for the past few hours as she now just sat on a bench below deck trying to eat something simple and sip some water. She sighed quietly as she glanced around, she was sure the trip would get better soon.   

Gregorian must be one of the few hares to apparently not be affected by seasickness, he was a little more clumsy in his footing due to the pegleg than he was normally on land but he got around fine and didn't spend half the journey so far trying to keep his lunch. He appeared down below deck with a mug of tea in one paw, ducking beams as he headed towards the back of the ship. He spots Donica on the way and offers a nod "All quiet below deck?"   

Donica looks up and nods "Yes sur just....motion sickness, then guessing I am not the only one"
   
Keldorn makes his way down below as well and nods, "Your get use ta it lass"He says, it seems the shrew has been out at sea before"The sea is...odd at times"   

Gregorian stops to lean against the mast where it comes down inside the ship from above and sips from his drink before nodding to the shrew "Aye, yah and half the ship seem tah be sufferin' it. I might have tah suggest sailin' becomes a standard lesson in the patrol but fact is somebeasts don't keep their sealegs for life anyway. It'll settle down and yah'll feel bettah for the rest of the trip soon enough"   

Donica nods "Though maybe one doesn't forget..."She sees the shrew and nods"Hello Keldorn."   

Keldorn nods,"Hey lass.."He nods to the hare as well as he sits down"Sir..." He smiles "Some dislike the ship it seems, as for keeping sea legs..some do and some don't"   

Gregorian nods once more to the shrew "Greg" He corrects the sir, the shrew's not in the patrol, he doesn't have to call him sir. He shrugs a shoulder to he idea of some not liking sailing "Eh, land beasts tend tah get a bit uncomfortable when the ground starts movin' undah them"   
Donica asks, "Does the boat move all the time?" She asks quietly, she frowns "You two been on a ship before huh?"   

Keldorn smiles "I have been at sea...though not the best time in my life.."He frowns some as he glaces around "This ship ...I gave it to your Badger Lord, to your Patrol...I never used it and decided didn't need it"He smiles "You guys did need it."   

Gregorian nods once "Aye, the boat keeps movin' but eventually yah'll stop noticin' it" he chuckles "Askin' a shrew if he's been sailin' is like askin' a hare if he's had lunch. I grew up on rivahs though. It's not the same as goin' tah sea but yah get a good storm on a rivah and yah'll feel some waves"   

Donica chuckles lightly "I...suppose.."She hmms "So thats where he got the ship, but how did"She looks at the shrew "You have it..don't your clan have like log boats?"   

Keldorn answers" I wasn't always in the GUOSIM...long story, lived in Halyard..was..well rich, but things change"He shakes his head "A thought friend..stole things,inclueding that small fishing boat..."Yes the boat the slavers used to go up river"But thats the past...I joined the GUOSIM and they are family to me now, there is me and Oswald that came looking for the dibbuns, the other 3 shrews on board are friends of mine ...though"He smiles "I taked them into joining GUOSIM...a little surprise for old Loggy...when get back"Least he hopes they all get back safe and sound.   

Gregorian listens and sips his drink scratching his nose lightly afterwards "Well, it's a fine ship and yah help means we're on our way fastah than tryin' tah obtain a ship at Halyard. The extra time may make the difference"   

Donica says, "Hopefully we can catch up to those slavers...figure out where they are at least and..plan, then I am unsure how much fighting I will do, more...guess tending to injuried"   

Keldorn nods, he hmmms "I am sure we will figure it out, they sailed off like , what was it...week and a half before us?" He frowns,"Only so many places to go, wouldnt think be too far, then suppose one never knows"   

Gregorian shakes his head "Healahs keep us fightin', yah'll do yah bit" he's been through wars and lost a foot, he has a certain respect for healers. He takes a deep breath as he considers how to track a ship "The bird might help...If not, well, we'll just have tah search every island we can. They can't stay at sea forevah"
   
Donica nods "Oh the...sea gull,I seen it...birds are a little scary but if its a friend then thats good and I can learn some self defense if needed"   

Keldorn nods"True, birds can also see fairy high up..maybe see if anyone is on an island or things seem...well out of place, then again smart vermin tend to hide and these seem to have some brains, though they lost a fairly good fighter beast, that ferret the vixen had...now he was dangerous...I have no clue if she has any other dangerous beasts or not"   

Gregorian seems a little sceptical of the bird being a friend "Well, I've nevah met a gull I liked...but his Lordship seems tah trust the bird" so Greg will go along with it "If it can just see the ship we just have tah catch it up. Good fightahs or not fightin' vermin is wot the patrol was made for"
   
Donica shivers a little "The ferret that hurt...."She gulps,"Least the ferret is dead" She listens now "I just hope no one is too badly hurt and if they are, they can be helped."   

Keldorn nods "Yes its dead...beheaded" He hmmms "Finding the slaver ship be good too, even if its a distance away we can make sure we go in the right direction, but also try and stay out of sight ourselfs. If they know we are close...it could ruin a chance to save anyone"
   
Gregorian jaw tightens at the idea of the dibbuns getting hurt if they get too close "Hm, too close and they'll see us comin' miles off on the sea. There isn't much hope of sneakin' up when there's just watah but there's nothin' tah say catchin' them when they get tah wherevah they're goin' will be any bettah"   

Donica frowns "Well..guess we will see maybe they will just try and get away from us"   

Keldorn shrugs "I have never had to deal with fighting...least on the sea and the brief fight I had with a vermin on the log boat was...well that was on a river so its different. We be prepared, they could harm the dibbuns but I am also thinking they want to get them somewhere right? Likely some...other slaver or some slave place so they wouldn't want to harm them, tehy would lose possible coin right?" He hopes he is correct in this "If anything we find them and get...close enough, they shoot arrows at us to harm..well us, we can fire arrows right back or they just try to as Donica says move faster, I don't know."   

Gregorian sips his tea thoughtfully again, starting to frown a little "They're already tryin' tah get away, the problem comes when they don't think they can anymore. They'll not be keepin' the dibbuns for themselves, they'll be lookin' tah sell them so they're safe as they can get with vermin but if they think they're trapped they'll use hostages every time...Hmm. Could be if we find them or the island far enough away that they don't spot us though we could get close at night. Sail in without light and surprise them in the dark"   

Donica says, "Like...fight them right away?"She sounds a little worried" don't we have to be prepared?"   

Keldorn frowns "Can't always prepared fer a fight lass..unless the island the yare going to has some side they don't use to hide on, then...I have no clue..the ship is large though"   

Gregorian chuckles faintly "I'd love tah fight them right away but we can't go that until we find them. I'm sensin' yah don't feel ready though. Yah fought before? Got a weapon?" he finishes off his drink at last "We can't prepare for everythin' but we've got some time tah kill while we're chasin' them down. Time enough tah get in some practice"   

Donica says, "I...don't know much fighter myself, no...healing yeah but not too much fighting. I only got a couple lessons on way to the shore""   

Keldorn nods "I have fought before, lots of times sadly...as said never at sea, on the river once when a vermin on the bank tried to get into the log boat."   

Gregorian glances around the hold before he wanders off and grabs a mop from the corner. He twirls it in one paw on his way back "Unless we all end up ovah board I don't imagine fightin' on a ship will be much different tah fightin' indoors. We have the time for practice though" he says as he stops spinning the mop and offers it to Donica "Easiest thing tah learn fast I'd say is a spear. Keeps the vermin at a distance so yah don't have tah mastah dodgin' and all yah need tah know is how tah poke them or hit them"

Donica takes the mop and nods , examining it "I would say even healers should have a weapon, just in case."   

Keldorn says, "Everyone in your patrol should know how ta use a weapon, the GUOSIM teach healers to use slings I know."He frowns " Our healer is achally a captive as well...or hope she still is..meaning she be alive as she was grabed...I was knocked out and thought dead I think"
   
Gregorian doesn't draw his own weapons but takes a step back to put a suitable distance between himself and Donica "Yah'll have tah imagine the pointy end" he gestures for her to go ahead and try to attack with it as he keeps talking to Keldorn "Slavahs tend tah keep beasts alive so there's hope...We'll get back everyone we can" he's making no promises.   

Donica nods as she grips the broom handle and then tries to poke it at Greg as if attacking, she stays alert as she can and tries to stay focus.   

Keldorn nods "I..hope so.I also hope my friend Oswald is carefull , that shrew maid is special to him I think....the GUOSIM didn't have any dibbuns to grab, just one and that was LoG-A-Log's son but he was safe at camp, no idea if any otter cubs were taken from Camp Willow...I dont think so though..I know a vole family lost little ones and a squirrel family was looking for a missing dibbun as well so it was not just abbey young ones those slaves took and likely they have taken other young ones from other places too"   

Gregorian is still fast despite being one of the oldest hares on the trip and he catches the mop handle a moment before it hits, going to lightly push it back towards Donica "Good! Again, hardah. Spread yah paws out a little more and hold it furthah down" he tap his check "Aim here. Closah tah the middle yah aim the less likely yah are tah miss" his ears twitch and he frowns at the mention of Camp Willow but he doesn't take his eyes off of Donica "Hrm. Well, whoevah they've got and wherevah they've come from we'll find them and we'll see they get home again"   

Donica nods and takeing a deep breath she does spread out her paws and goes to take aim again, still paying attention and focusing best she can.   

Keldorn nods "Yes....I am gonna go see how me friends are doing...maybe see you later"He then heads onto the main area of the ship, he might even help captain it some, he has sailed a ship after all.
   
Gregorian catches the mop before it hits again though he has to put a little more force in to it this time "Good. Yah do that thousand times and yah'll be an expert" he nods to Keldorn "Later" before he pulls the metal walking stick he normally keeps in his belt out and gestures it at Donica "Now, I'm a nasty rat with a sword" he waves the stick at her "But yah spear is longah than my sword, so I can't reach yah without getting in yah range" he takes a step towards her "I try tah get closah, yah swing it at me"   

Donica nods as she stays focused and keeps an eye on where he is, she steps back and then goes to block any attack he would make.
   
Gregorian chuckles lightly as he clacks the stick against the mop handle "Good! Keepin' the distance between yah and them is good. Watch yah back, make sure yah don't back in tah anythin' dangerous. Yah job is tah keep back and keep beasts alive but then keep yahself alive too. Seem easy enough so far?"   

Donica nods "So far long as only one is attacking me and I will..try as being backed into anything likely be very bad"
   
Gregorian hehs "If more than one are comin' at yah and we're not there somethin' has gone wrong. If it happens though" he slashes at the air with his stick back and forth a couple of times "Whack as many of them as yah can tah keep them back"   

Donica nods as she watches "Hopefully it won't happen when I am trying to help someone"   

Gregorian nods at the mop "Well yah practice with it" he twirls his stick with one paw to demonstrate "Get used tah movin' it around until it's comfortable and smooth. When we get back tah the mountain yah can learn othah weapons if yah like. A lot of the healahs prefah somethin' smallah but it's a lot hardah tah learn a sword than a big pointy stick. Yah know healin' already at least"   

Donica nods again and smiles "I will practice as..this is likely a long trip to find the vermin even..I have faith we will find them and..win agaist them"   

Gregorian returns his stick to his belt "Find yahself a spot tah practice on. A knot in the wood tah aim for or practice with one of the othahs. It gets easiah as yah get used tah it. We've got plenty of capable hares tah help anyway and his Lordship of course. Yah friends from Redwall are presumably all fightahs too"
   
Donica nods, she chuckles a little at the idea of Ciocan helping "Maybe just a fellow hare...his lordship is..so tall and one of the strongest ones on this ship..and yes there id Dora..Caleb, Oswald and Keldorn fights well and of course Matilda does"   

Gregorian chuckles faintly too "Well if yah can fight him, yah can fight anyone" he grabs his empty cup "I'm goin' tah do the rounds on deck. Keep practicing!"

****So it wasn't on logger but I managed to cope and paste it! *****

WHO:

Mistclaw-Leader of the slavers

Ciana- Hare Dibbun (Jet's daughter)

Leigh-GUOSIM healer

Assorted dibbuns from Redwall, Mossflwoer woods, and 5 from an otter holt.

LOG:

Mistclaw soon learned she did not like sea travel too well, the whole tossing and turning, all the swaying caused  sea sickness! It didn't help that the monitors and rats on the ship laughed at her over.She  growled low at them and stormed off to where she slept

Leigh below was fairly use to water travel, but still had not been at sea but she diddibbuns as  handle it fairly well. She sighed as she sat by the wall where she was chained quietly.

Ciana sniffed and rubbed her eyes "I no like this no more...wanna out"

A dibbun otter frowns"We nevers gonna go home and Gran Gran dead..."

Another otter started wailing now, followed by a 3nd otter.

A weasel came below "Shut up ya brats or your get no food or water later on" He scaned the dibbuns as some whimpers or tried to hide behid older  dibbuns, he finally went up stairs.

A lot of the Redwall dibbuns was asleep except for a squirrel maid and a couple mice "We wants mother Krisha...why  de bad beasts taken' us aways....."

Leigh looks over and frowns, she then speaks "Our friends will find us, I know they will"

All the dibbuns that were awake looked over at the shrew and one sniffed, "Promises?"

In the back a vole that was on the ship a while snorted "Ya know where we goin' right...I heard em before they killed my pop...ta someone called Gorax, he sounds bad and mean"He was an older dibbun, almost an age he could be a novice at the abbey.

Ciana cried softly "What's a Gor..Gi.....waaaaaaa" She sniffed and shaked with fear.

A couple otter dibbuns frowned " Ther issa beast that fur fell offs, theys got us and killa all our moms and dads" It was true, the old sea otter the 5 called Grangran died and was throw over board a few hours ago.

Leigh frowns again, she had to keep thier sprites up, and her own "Who wants to hear a GUOSIM  song to help you sleep,  you all need your sleep." She offered a smile.

The dibbuns looked over at her and a couple had started to drift off, some  just looked over at her curious of the song.

Ciana got as close as she could, "Sing song....pleaze...sing song"

Leigh smiled as she sang, soft...her voice was sweat sounding and a calming tone in all the chaos of the past few weeks...

“When the warm sun sinks gently from out of the sky,
hear the tired old breeze sigh a yawn,
and the bees cease a-humming, now dark night is
coming,to blanket the earth until dawn.

“Then the logboat of dreams drifts away o’er the
streams,as we sail on it, baby and me,
past meadow and vale, without paddle or sail,
we both slumber on down to the sea.
“Where birds circle silently, winging on high,
deep waters run silent and calm,
’neath the soft gentle bloom of a honeydew moon,
with no wind or wave to cause harm.

“Then the logboat of dreams will grant wishes it
seems,all a little one’s heart could require
’til rainbow-hued dawn turns to fresh summer morn,
and a world full of hope and desire.”

This seemed to work and the dibbuns were soon falling asleep around her, it would be another 4-5 hours till light and likely a couple more before they got some sort of meal.

Ciana yawned and snuggled beside the shrew maid and was soon asleep.

The otters aslo went to sleep, even the vole that earlier complained.

Leigh was last to sleep, she had made it her mission to keep thier hopes alive, and her own hope alive. She let her eyes close, she needed rest as well.

Who:

Donica-Healer in the LP

Ciocan-Badger Lord

Caleb-Warrior Mouse

Xander- Warrior Badger

Koda- Private,Fighter, Asst. to Quinten

LOG:
   
It is warm up on the crater but there is a fresh breeze coming in off the mountain. Ciocan is currently up atop the wall looking out toward the sea, a scroll held in one hand against his side as he contemplates the sea.
   
He glances over at the hare in attendance then hands them the scroll, "This chart is no use, I need something further north.... as far north as we can get." The hare salutes and darts off down the stairs and the badger lord turns back to the ocean.   

Caleb was a bit hesitant to be up here but he remembered that Ciocan did say he wanted to talk personally. After asking some of the hares around, including a very helpful Quinten, the mouse would come up to the crater and look out towards the badger lord. The mouse carried with him his sword, missing his bag of tools and armor. He was clad with a shirt, shorts and his gladiator sandals he hand crafted. Caleb only approached after the hare had left and clears his throat so that Ciocan knows he's there.   

   
"Ah and there you are," Ciocan says without turning around, his large body silhoutted against the skyline, "I was wondering when you would come to say hello Caleb," he finally turned and looked down with a smile on his large features, "I was hoping we would have the chance to speak before we set sail."   

The badger moved to a stone bench and sat down on it, "I was expecting another mouse in the party with the Champion. But not one as young as you, you are a formidable warrior at such a young age Caleb.... but I also sense your life has not been easy."   

   
He had to admit... standing in front of the Badger Lord, the one he originally sought was a pretty scary thing. Ciocan was large, about as big as he imagined and his whole body practically shadowed the skyline. However he had to be strong and not show his fear so he swallowed it back and nodded to Ciocan. Coming to sit down next to him, Caleb would pull out his pad and write down for the moment. "I've had a very rough upbringing. At ten years old my father and mother were killed in an attack. I've been... travelling ever since, having learned how to fight from my father."   

   
Ciocan nods and reads Caleb's words as he sits next to him, "I am sorry we cannot hear your voice Caleb... but you have been strong but your wandering I sense is over."   

He held out his hand, "May I see your sword?" he tilted his head and smiled, then turned to look toward the stairs up, "And my newest hare will be joining us shortly. I am glad she has finally arrived... both of you have suffered much but I promise there are bright days ahead for you both."   
   
Donica came up to the crater for some fresh air and looks around.She frowns that it seems no one can go to the infirm, well fine she will try later..why she had asked, her friend had a slight mental break down...well wonderful she could of helped, she is now here and looks up in time to see Caleb and Ciocan and decides to stay where she is about half way over to them.   

Caleb seemed to be nervous but nodded towards the badger as he takes off his sword and hands it off to Ciocan. The Badger Lord would see that his sword was handcraft with a curved steel blade, the wrapped handle showing the age of the leather. While he looked, Caleb would give a wave to Donica and then write some more down. "I was born mute, unfortunately."   

   
Ciocan turns to Donica and holds out a large paw toward her, "Hello, it is Donica isn't it?" he smiles, "I have been expecting you to join us, I believe you wish to join the patrol and learn how to be a healer no?"
   
He smiles at her, he knows he shouldn't know any of this, but the runes in the secret chamber of the badger lord has been quite clear about who he was to expect, "Will you be joining us at sea or staying here?"   

He then looks over Caleb's sword, turning it this way and that, "This is a nice blade Caleb, I would offer to forge you something Salamandastron made out of this steel. But I do not think you would welcome me undoing your father's work."
       
Donica walks over slowly "I...will come with you if I am allowed sur.It is always good to have a healer around and I have learned healing skills from my mom and grandfather. I have good skills, I did manage to keep a friend alive for 4 days till we got here for help."
   
"I... wouldn't mind it but you are right about undoing this. My grandfather made this blade and my father's name was etched in... however, I would not mind owning a shield from here to learn the ways of it." He also nodded towards Donica with a bit smile.   

Ciocan smiles at Donica, "I heard of your heroism in keeping Xander alive, he is a good friend of mine. So thank you..." he tilts his head, "We will be taking at least one Patrol trained healer with us. But your skills would be welcome too, a ship however is no place for people outside the chain of the Captain's command."
   
He glances at Caleb then back to Donica, "If you wish to join the patrol, I would accept your oath as a recruit and assign you to the healer corps to accompany us on our journey."
   
He then hands Caleb the sword back, "Now a shield I can do you, I can't use the finnicky things myself but Matilda uses one. I shall forge one for you myself tonight."   
   
Donica nods "I will to join as a healer and I will let you decide if I should come along or not, if I am needed here I shall stay here." She looks back to the doorway,back to the badger"I am glad I was able to help Xander, he is likely gonna have a long road of recovery ahead of him.I was going to check on him a little while ago but was told be better to stop by later today in the infirm."   

Caleb would seem to smile at that, glad to know that he could get something from Salamandstron. "I've... always wanted to come here. Before I found the Abbey, my dream was to come here and learn the ways of a warrior. But now... I wish to stay with Redwall."   

Cicoan smiles and pats Caleb's shoulder, "You know the ways of a warrior already, there is little Salamandastron can teach you. What you need to learn, what Redwall can teach you is the way of living your life."
   
He then holds out a hand to Donica, "Do you, Donica, hereby swear to join the ranks of my Long Patrol? To serve the peace that Salamdastron protects as guardian, march warden and patroller? To march alongside your fellow Hares beneath the command of the Badger Lord and see to it that the tenents and faith, strictures and rules of the Long Patrol are followed?"   

Donica nods "Yes...I do...sur"She salutes, she has learned teh salute watching some of the other hares.
   

Ciocan smiles, "Then Recruit Donica, you are to report to the quartermaster for uniform, General Quinten will see to your handbook and the Infirmary staff will add you to the rosta."   

He stands up, "And you will be joining us, the runes where quiet clear I was not to break up the Redwall group except for the two badgers."   

Ciocan stands up, "I will see you shortly with a new shield Caleb as well, I am going to go down to the forget and get started." he nods to the two youngsters, "I'll see you both soon."
   
Donica nods, a glace over at Caleb and she goes to see the view from up here "Whoa....you really can see a lot from here"
   
Koda steps into view, his job mainly to check on the guests at least once a day, and he had to make sure some books was returned to the library.He smiles as he sees the two, "Oh..good your not lost,then again why would you be lost, then again its possible its a maze in there at times"   

Caleb would nod towards Ciocan and then looks towards Donica to clap somewhat before writing down some stuff. "Congrats, Donica. I'm so happy for you."   

Donica smiles "Thanks..I am sure I will do well"She looks to Koda and waves "Yeah but we are fine, not lost" She seems to think quietly before looking back to Caleb "I am sure Xander will be ok, oz as well while we are away and we will be back and they both will be happy to see us"   

Caleb would nod and get up only to give her a small hug. "Yeah... when I see them again I'll be really happy cause then I can relax.   
Koda nods "Good not lost and...I dont know, and Hallo to you both, Koda...I help Quinten out with stuff"   

Donica smiles "Yeah...maybe you could just have a peaceful life once back at Redwall Caleb"   

An HOUR Later......

Donica had finally had the chance to go to the infirm , she had her new uniform on as she peeked into the room, better safe than sorry after alll..."Hallo?"   

Xander is still on the cot, not like he can leave the cot, the only movement he has managed is to move his arms, and one hurts and just the whole paw...shakeing thing, still getting to him.
   
Donica slips the rest of the way in "Hey...I am...of the Patrol now, a healer in fact..just a recruit but I am going, will have to listen to some healer in charge but I can..learn and help out the others...feeling better?"

Xander snorts and would roll over, he just closes his good eye and lets some tears fall..."Wot ya want?"   

Donica ears flatten as she frowns "To check on you, I know...whats his name helped ealier but....."
   
Xander sighs, "Go away Donica...."He sounds depressed, tried and he has his eyes shut. A tear goes down his cheek.
   
Caleb would head in, having followed Donica. He would give a nod and wave to his father, then see the tear.   

Donica backs out a little and almost into Caleb, she frowns "Sorry..."She sighs and manages a smile at the mouse "You..try and talk to him."She  frowns then "Oh...sorry ....but still he's less likely to tell you to go away"She slips over to look at an herbal book, she is supposed to be learning,she knows some things   

Xander looks over finally at the talking but doesn't say anything yet. He is silent for now.
   
Caleb blinks and whimpers as he looks to her before heading over to his father. The mouse blinks and holds up a pad to Xander. It's shakily written but it reads, "What's wrong dad? Why are you crying?"   

Donica lets them talk she will look over a lesson given to her, then she knows some stuff already so the first few healer lessons should be easy enough.   

Xander reads over the pad and frowns, "I....."He shakes his head " I can't...move my right leg....and I won't be able to make sure your...ok on the ship"He does trust the hares and Ciocan though, he knows deep down they will keep Caleb and the others safe and get back safe,"I also...been thinking, a..lot"   

Caleb whimpers and writes a bit more. "So... it's true then. You can't move your leg anymore? And... I'll be fine. I can take care of myself, Xander... you will not lose me."
   
Xander reads the writting, he reaches out still, even with a shaky paw , to hug him "I...just worry son, I..I do trust your be ok and your...help to get the dibbuns back."He looks to his bandaged leg and frowns, but then after a bit speaks again"I will...walk even if its with a cane....there is something else too, that I...want to do once we are home son"   

Caleb would be feeling tears come to his eyes now, not wanting to see his father so weakened by fear and regret. However he does manage to answer him. "What is it dad? Is it to learn how to make tea cause I really wanna do that."   

Donica looks up from her work, then back to the lessons.

Xander smiles a little, a good smile "Tea.....I can find a way to before you leave..."He keeps the smile, he remembered the promise to teach him, he then replies "I am...gonn lay aside my blade, lay aside my warrior life and just...maybe pottery and tea making at the abbey, but...my warrior life is done."He adds "The blade will likely go to Oz whne he's old enough....unless of course he wants to jion the order." Yes he is worried about his leg but that's not the only reason he is laying the warrior life aside, he came so SO close to death, it, basically scared him.

Caleb just suddenly giggles and writes something as he mentions that last part. "Heh... too bad I can't wield it, being too big for me. But... don't worry about that. I would rather just see you healthy than anything."   

Xander smiles, he is feeling a bit less depressed now,"I will...see if one of the hares can get some things....maybe a simple tea lesson"Its possible to make tea in here, right? Well he wil find out,he frowns when a healer decides he needs rest,he sighs"I will see you tomorrow son..." He will then get some much needed sleep

Donica makes sure all is well in the infirm, some dusting, cleaning and makes sure Xander is ok, and then gets to bed herself, well after she turns in some lessons she completed.

It's Mistclaw the vixen
