LOG:

RW Abbey: Great Hall
================
The Great Hall of Redwall Abbey. Countless paw falls have echoed from these stones, and untold numbers of feasts and merry gatherings have been held here.  A table, not nearly so grand or large as its predecessors, but quite functional for mealtimes, rests near the center of the hall. Chairs exist here aplenty, and they are all of a matching set. High above, the stain glass windows give the Great Hall a beautiful appearance.  The glasswork is exceptionally done, crafted by a skilled artist.  The floor is clean and swept. A fire is kept burning in the fireplace at almost all times of the day and night, and there are several more comfortable chairs and cushions set up here, of varying sizes. One looks large enough to easily accommodate a badger.
 
The Tapestry hangs proud and tall, and while the rest of Redwall may still bear the scars of natural disaster, this most famous of Redwall's relics remains unharmed by beast, time, or the elements. The figure of Martin the Warrior seems to be watching over his own with an unchanging, kindly gaze.
======================

Oz slowly comes down the stairs and leans on his staff, least he had half a day off and some of today off too, he heads to his chair to sit down.

Krisha looks over as she walks over "You doing ok Oz?Someone said you seemed really tried yesterday or didn't feel well maybe"

Oz sighs "I am fine Krisha, it's called old age and I am feeling better, could be cause its getting warmer now and I believe the snow is melting as mud is a sure clue of that in places."

Krisha frowns but speaks quietly still "Yes there is some mud around now and as for you being fine , not sure how true that is"She looked around and gets more serious "Last week you had troubling breathing for a few moments,I should of just got a healer but I promised not to unless it happen again, which I don't think it has, has it?"

Oz says, "I didn't have any other breathing issues no, some pain but otherwise I was fine no need for concern or worrying of beasts""

Krisha sits down beside him"Well sorry its too late to not worry beasts"She frowns in concern"Xander should know, though he is checking on Zolomon, something about...Tarsha dying and being like really depressed"

Oz frowns "He..."He sighs "Your right he ..should know but not right away and not in letter form unless"He goes quiet now.

Krisha listens and frowns "Unless...unless what oz?"

Oz frowns still as he is quiet and finally speaks "No...letter be bad for that...for certain."He clears his throat "If I..die Krisha. I..I don't know wot is..going on, but it may well be more than old age. Some of the injuries I got from...that marten..maybe..I don't know. I do know your need to be ready in case, the dibbuns will need..will need you"

Krisha frowns "Your not gonna.....die, don't say those words. You got seasons and seasons left in you, you do"

Oz reaches out and pats her paw"All beasts die one day and we all have what ever seasons we are given...I have cheated death a couple times in...my very long life, I was ready to die after protecting Benar and the dibbuns that one day, but...I was still...needed, you still needed me for a little while yet"

Krisha feels tears"I still need you around, your not allowed to die till.....till ever...."

Oz reaches out to wipe away a tear "Not to..worry Krisha, not dying..that soon"He smiles a little"But when I do...I know the dibbuns will be in good paws with you as Badger Mother."

Krisha sniffs and hugs him, if he allows, gently of course,"I would protect them with my life if need be, I would be there day and night and teach them. comfort them, care for them...of course I would....but"She frowns "I am not...not ready"

Oz hugs back"I trust you..."He coughs a little and clears his throat "I..trust you and who is ever truly ready for things in life...hmmm?"He smiles "I was not ready when I became Badger Mother either but things turned out well it seemed "He nods in through "Remember our talk in the bell tower, during the thunderstorm when I told you what Martin said to me?"

Krisha nods slowly "That...I was to be Badger Mother when your time came to..."She sniffs.."When..."She can't say it.

Oz nods "He choose you, he trusts you and knows your the best fit for the job"He smiles "Your do well, I know you will. You did well when I was in my deep faint, your do well...when the time comes to take the job fully"

Krisha nods slowly, she just stays quiet and sighs, then wipes away tears"Just promise me your take it easy and if you need help or..a healer, you say something." She adds "Please Oz"

Oz nods "I promise Krisha. Now please help me to my room. I am fine just tried and need the help out of the chair."

Krisha helps him up and will get him to his room and even make his pillow fluffy and make sure he has a blanket..."Your ok right now right, just tried is all.."

Oz allows the help and nods "I am just tried, I will be at breakfast not to worry..I am not dying, not yet. I will still be around though....how long I know not but the dark forest doesn't seem to be calling me, not yet."He will fall asleep soon after speaking.

Krisha stays close and just out of concern will take his pulse, likely a couple times, watch him to see if he is breathing, stand there a little while before going to bed herself once she feels..yes he is ok, he is fine for now.

Oz has a pulse and yes he is breathing. What ever is wrong is slowly getting worse, but for now he is alive and doing fairly well, for now. He may not have seasons left...well maybe....1 season left, its unclear....time will tell.
