Can We...chat?-Redwall Log

**Ewan asked me to get the Abbot on to chat with him and since I am one of them that can get Benar on..I did so...This happens in Benar's Quarters ***

==Benar's Room shortly after a Council Meeting but before dinner===

Ewan waited, he waited more and then he decided to go to the abbot and knocked on the door and waited quietly for a reply.

Benar looks up from his desk, "Enter" He says quietly as he places a stack of papers to the side and cleans off his glasses before placing them back on.

Ewan slips into the room and nods "Hallo..Benar..ummm, we can talk right? It is important and or least I believe it is important to mention"

Benar smiles and nods "Then have a seat and chat, I know you mentioned Zolomon and Reva have left for Salamandastron and I have been updated on things over at Salamandastron, what else did we need to discuss Ewan?" He smiles "There is the trip, did you want to maybe go?"

Ewan sits down "I..umm maybe on..on the trip, I will think on it. This is not about the trip or about any Long Patrol stuff, it's...about...ummm..."He takes a deep breath and exhales before he speaks "Oz wanted to talk so I said yes we can talk and then he wanted me to write a couple letters, in his words for a couple to read at a later date."

Benar listens "Letters to whom?" He is curious and listens "And why to be read later?"

Ewan speaks more "Cause...it was..."His ears droop as he hates this subject, maybe he will walk off but no, no he will stay as he just be asked to sit back down again "He wanted me to have a letter for Lord Ciocan and the same letter can be read to the rest of the Long Patrol, and he had a letter he wanted for you, Xander, and Krisha...and think he might have one for me to write for a couple others...I already said...yes and he wants me to keep them till...tilll umm.."He really hates death, "Till the time comes when he isn't here anymore, cause he knows he is......dying and wanted letters written, his like thoughts and stuff while he was able to say them and have them written down cause he knows he isn't getting b..b..better...but not worse and it's hard to s...say how long that will last"

Benar frowns as he listens. He sighs deeply and nods to Ewan "Thank you...Ewan. And..no need to tell Oz you spoke to me, and you likely are a good choice to keep ahold of those letters till..."He frowns but gets any other words out "Till they are..needed."

Ewan ears are still drooped "I..didn't mean to upset..you sur just thought was important. Oz..thought was important to..have me write them down, though think he tried himself out talking a..a lot and I helped him back to his room to sleep."

Benar nods "Good..."He frowns "Oz may well be feeling worse than he lets any of us know, at least he is taking his tonic and getting the checkups weekly. I may speak to him again but I know he is..trying to take it easy and that it's likely hard for him to do. "

Ewan nods "Yeah...he seems to still do well with the dibbuns, he sometimes looks tried but then smiles and seems to get some energy back again. I think the dibbuns help keep him...ummm happy and less stressed, and....well I don't think having him like..do less is good...he has said he only has one class now...maybe two though...the dibbuns still follow him around any chance they get and"He shrugs "He seems to do...ok...though maybe he should have his staff still or...well maybe something if not his staff, a cane maybe"

Benar nods "I would not take Oz away from the dibbuns, he is still the Badger Mother...that wont change, not till"He frowns as he sighs"Not till he is clearly unable to do it any longer. I am still hoping he gets a bit better from this..illness or what ever it is, but I also have a feeling he may not get any better...maybe even worse, but I hope not."

Ewan frowns "Krisha is gonna be...badger mother after him, he mentioned that..he trusts her with the dibbuns and says Martin trusts her too."He thinks "As for...saying how he is feeling...maybe that's just upsetting to share or he just dost want beasts to worry. My...grandfather was in the Long Patrol, it was before...that whole coming to help the abbey thing happen. He stayed in the patrol till the day he...died, he finally retired and just helped train some recruits. He told someone he was gonna take a nap and help with some recruit training later that day...but he was late, or so..so they thought...someone went to check on him and...he had died in a chair while doing some reading and he didn't do much like the last few weeks he was alive, nothing stressful or anything, he mainly watched recruits, told them to do laps and redo push ups, he didn't do laps with them just watched fro the sidelines to see if recruits like got to far behind"

Benar says, "I am sorry to hear about your grandfather, sounds like he was a good hare"

Ewan nods "He and...mother were the only ones who seemed truly proud of me....my mother is still alive in Halyard, she knows I am here and is still proud and she said she would write as I did visit with her...a couple days while me and Sinway was up thar"

Benar says, "Good..maybe she could come visit you one day if she is able"

Ewan nods "Maybe...but she likes it thar and its a long trip...she grew up thar...family did but I like it here more...."He frowns "W..Was it a bad idea to mention...the letters ?"

Benar shakes his head "I don't think so..it was a good idea and if Oz feels it best to have words written down now...let him do it, but if it sounds like he is tried have him stop a little while, no since in him wearing himself out"

Ewan nods as he stands "I should....go..told some order beasts I help with Spring planting"He goes to he door and looks back at Benar "I..am worried about Oz though, even though he says not to worry...I think he even worries a little about himself too, he just wont admit it"

Benar says, "I..I am worried about Oz as well Ewan and I am not the only one....Maybe I will try and get Oz to talk to me more, I am the abbot and I would not have to share anything he wouldn't want me too. And go on and help out with planting crops I would like that done before the trip into Mossflower...one less thing to worry on while I am away""

Ewan nods and slips off to help with gardening and crops

Benar sighs as he leans back in his chair. He is worried but he wont show it to others, he looks around his room and frowns, he then gets up and goes to check to see what is for dinner tonight, anything to get his mind off things.
