LOG:

   
Esen has woke early and wanted to get a closer look at the shore and the sea coast, being the first time she had been by the sea in her life, it was interesting and inviting.She was never one to wear boots much and her's...she did need new ones and this seemed a good time to slip them off and just relax her toes in the water that seems to come into the shore and then pull back, only to come back again as she giggled a little. She was not worried about swimming, she could...if she needed to anyways but she only planed to barely wade into the water..maybe just above her knees, as it did make her a little unsteady on her foot paws when she started to go a little further.She had not wanted to wake a friend and besides they were a short distance away anyways as they had rested by the dunes.   

Cera was on her way back from Halyard getting a few things she needed and while she was at it someone decided hey get this list of supplies for the infirm, like gee thanks she was wanting to carry more in her pack, not. She looks around, mainly for trouble not so much anyone just here as, ever so often beasts do sit on the beach, its one of those they don't brother her, she wont brother them.   

Zolomon had been out finishing running drills on the sand.He notices the badger and hmms, and Cera and decides to walk towards the hare maid"Tis called de buddy system lass..supposed ta always take along someone to and from Halyard."
   
Invar has not risen quite so early and is still among the dunes out of sight. He's awoken to find Esen gone but wasn't concerned, he just figured she was off getting water, seeing the sights or something. He wasn't hurrying about getting up and leaving their camp yet.   

Esen wades a little further, she glaces over at the hares and studies them but for now decides to not brother them as its not like she knows them that well and..well arn't they some trained army type group.She grows curious of some small waves and one about knocks her off her foot paws as she blinks "Whoa..." Ok that's new, but not too bad. not like there is a storm or anything, its sunny today. There is another couple large waves coming up to shore but none would do much harm,maybe knock one to the sand but that's about all.   

Cera shakes her head "I can take care of me self...have the last ..wot 4 seasons or so?"She walks along"Sides your here now so....yeah wot ever"She so rather just forget this dumb buddy system..they are freaking LP hares for goodness sakes and wait.."Your by yourself so..there"   

Zolomon smirks and points to a couple recruits a little ways off"Doing some running drills with a couple others who like got in trouble so they had to do a couple more laps, me...I just like running, good exercise and keeps one in shape and well...someone has ta keep an eye on recruits lass"   

Invar eventually gets up but it's only far enough to just grab his bag and settle down with his sketchpad. Draw a little, write a little, occasionally perk his ears and listen but everything sounds very peaceful.   

Everything is peaceful, for now but doesn't last too long as a fairly good waves does cause her to stumble and fall backwards a little, she is under the water briefly and manages to fight the pull of the water and goes sideways, she coughs a little and decides maybe its good to just get back to the beach. The waves has a couple fish, a hermit crab and some strange see through creature, that seems upset at bumping into Esen and latches onto her leg below her knee, she does the simple thing, pull it off and touching the top is fine, its the tentacles of whats called a jellyfish that is the problem, it is pulled off mostly but it shocks and it hurts and she yells out in pain, again pulling on it and a couple little tentacles stay on, most are off but its causing a burning like fire feeling as she stumbles and sort of rolls on the sand.Shivering a little she frowns, what the heck is this thing and why does it hurt, where its stuck starts to swell a little as she frowns, also why is she shivering a little and having what seems like a panic attack, she does calm a little but there is still..pain and she doesn't try to stand back up.   

Cera rolls her eyes and then looks at where the badger was and frowns, she looks at Zolomon and then goes to see if she can do anything to help and slows as she frowns, ok she has learned of those, she forgot the name but its not good to touch certain parts of that fish, she speaks "Hey.....can I help? Just don't try and..."She looks around, something to get it off and not touch the tentacles part, a stick can work"Don't touch the legs"They are legs or something..has this happen to any hares before, she isn't sure she just knows these things are supposed to not be good news sometimes.   

Zolomon rushes over, he isn't a healer but he has learned a little but , not this as he frowns and his one ear falls to the side "Errrrr....wot is that?" Ok he needs more lessons in sea creatures, and of course one recruit is a smarty pants, the other went off to maybe get some other help,"Its a jellyfish, they like...sting or bite, err..sumthing..the top is ok to touch, bottom isn't"He has seen some poke them with sticks and they seem to just be a blob to leave alone, well this one seems evil.   

Invar's ears perk at the yell of pain in the distance and he freezes, trying to pick out any more sounds as he tries to convince himself everything's fine, no need to get paranoid...No harm in checking though. He gets up and peers over the dunes and all he sees is Esen on the ground surrounded by hares "What's goin' on?!" he roars out the words as he lumbers down the dune fast. His broken arm is still in a sling but he looks fierce and he's looking around as he quickly hurries towards them, imagining it as some sort of attack.   

Esen grits her teeth, her thoughts right now just get it off her leg, she looks at the two hares and frowns"It...burns....."She is having a little trouble breathing and shivers as ok, trust them as she is just semi aware of what is going on around her right now, dizziness and she feels like she wants to throw up but she doesn't. There is still some stingers in her leg that need out.   

Cera frowns and then there were two badgers as she tenses up, oh fun...but she decides to just tend to Esen "Zolomon...you handle ...that"She points to Invar and frowns as she looks at Esen and uses the broken driftwood to get the rest of the jellyfish arms off her leg and sort of pushes it away into the sand and frowns at it, and looks at the badger maid leg"There is still small little stingers in the leg, that need out"She frowns as she notices breathing and takes a pulse,"Hey..stay awake and focus..on me..."   

Zolomon looks up at Invar and gulps, well first he isn't gonna draw a weapon and make himself look like a for sure threat, that would make it worse, he backs up a little and holds up his paw "We didn't do anything...she is hurt.."She points to the jellyfish in the sand and frowns at Cera "Umm..stings out....how?"   

Invar focuses his angry glare on Zolomon for a second when the hare speaks before there's a little flash of confusion and then he follows the point to the jellyfish "What?" he doesn't understand how what looks like a slimy blob did this but there's no attack so any trace of angry is gone. He focuses on Esen as she's looking worse. He looks worried and quickly hurries over to crouch by her "Esen? Come on, y'can't go sleepin' now" he tries to fake a light and reassuring tone.   

Esen isn't really focusing on who is here, where she is just on breathing better and not passing out.She shivers a little and her leg still hurts, still seriously swollen not that it will go down anytime soon.There is still the poison going threw her body right now.   

Cera frowns as she tries to carefully scrap any stings away and get a better look at the leg, maybe getting some of the herbs was a good idea as she knows one helps with breathing issues as she thinks on how to get the swelling down, least the stingers are out "Those..stings..they are poison...got to, be something to draw out the poison, least a little" Maybe she has something in her pouch, most supplies are..inside the mountain and that's surely closer right now, but least no more poison is going into the badger since, double checks,..yes the stingers are all out.   

Zolomon frowns "Its a jellyfish...blooming bad things if gets on ya, not so bad if left alone" He frowns, he likely isn't being too helpful right now "I can see if anyone else be around, most be in de training room or..resting"   

Invar tries not to let the bubbling feeling of panic take over when Esen doesn't respond and he barely hears the hares explanation. He hears poison, he understands that bit "Then do somethin'!" there's a slight growl to his words before he calms down slightly by trying to remember healing classes from childhood "Suck it out or somethin'!" he only vaguely remembers though.   

Esen breathing is not getting any better, not any worse either but its still not good as she shivers and sweats a little.She loses her fight to stay awake as her eyes start to drift shut a little.   

Cera shakes her head "You don't...do that.."She frowns and finds the herbs she was looking for, a little mix of water and goes to slowly give them to Esen, it will at least help her breathing issue a little "Need something that's, inside thar"She points to the mountain and frowns, well....company to report? She looks in the supplies and frowns, then thinking quickly and finds a couple things that work some, not as well but till they get inside..she makes a small paste and carefully applies it to where the stingers were and frowns a little."We haf to...she needs the infirm and ours is way closer"   

Zolomon frowns and looks over and back to them "But...."He sighs, whats the to do with this sort of thing? He is unsure but it isn't like they are taking like vermin inside...and it should be ok, right? Its temporary after all and help was needed."Ok...ok....we can and then report ta whom?"   

Invar doesn't wait to listen to more planning, they said she needed to go to their infirmary so she needs to go. He goes to pick her up but growls in pain as he puts weight on his broken arm. Another firmer growl and he grits his teeth and does it anyway, going to pick her up and head for the mountain "Just show me where t'go" he knows where the mountain is, it's pretty easy to see being the size of a mountain, but he doesn't know how to get in.   

Esen coughs a little but drinks the mixture and whimpers a little , shivering as her vision is so fuzzy, she still hurts and her breathing is stil rough, maybe...maybe slightly better as she tries to speak and then goes completely limp in Invar's arms...a quick check would show she breaths..not too well but she breaths and has a low pulse.
   
Cera nods, she frowns and checks a pulse, if she can and steps back.She looks at Zolomon and starts walking "Ok lets do this"And likely maybe get grumbled at, but she hopes not too much, they are saving a life after all and a badger's life so....   

Zolomon nods as he can rush ahead and give the news, make sure the infirm is ready for guests   

Invar goes as fast as he can, trying to ignore pain in his arms and ribs and just focus on following where Zolomon went. He doesn't even get to enjoy the fact he's at Salamandastron, a place he'd only read about, he's too worried to look at guards, marvel at the gates or think of all the stories, the only thing he's thinking of is getting to the infirmary.   

Esen stays unconscious and doesn't respond, to well...anything.Her breathing stays the same and the area on her leg, under her knee is covered in red horrible lines and its swollen badly, sort of like hives also. Her breathing isnt good, but its not getting worse at least and she is clearly unconscious.   

Cera is nervous about this but just goes with it, they are let in and some hares talk among themselves and whisper or point as they go to the infirm where other healers would be and they have more supplies as the hare maid drops off what she got for supplies and also aids a paw in helping.   

Zolomon had gotten them mostly ready as he sort of watches and shrugs at weather to let someone else know of the guests, a couple higher up offciers are fine for now..why brother anyone else just yet. He frowns as he stays out of the way of beasts but word would get around to certain beasts sooner rather than later. A couple of the watch guards will for sure make sure the guests stay in the infirm for now, not that they would leave very likely.   

Invar gets Esen to a cot but then has to back off as there's healers suddenly swarming to help. He backs up until he bumps in to a wall and just stops there, staring, worried and rubbing his sore arm as he tries to be calm and not panic "Is she goin' t'be alright?" he asks but probably too quietly to distract the healers.   

Esen is laid down as healers tend to her, check the leg..find any herbs needed and one healer even glaces at Invar to see if he needs any help. All the while Esen stays unconscious and seemly in some sort of faint, not a deep real deep one but still a faint and wont be waking anytime soon.   

Cera frowns "I..am unsure but she is better off here than at the beach, if she was still at the beach and had not had help when she did its possible...very much so, that she wouldn't be ok"   

Zolomon sits down and speaks "One can't say, but she is in good paws here sur and they will try their best to make sure your friend...is ok" He looks around "Your both gonna have to stay here though till the mountain is told of...guests"He frowns "Umm..it will be up to his Lordship if you..stay, I mean I am sure with her being...ill and hurt, you would be able to."   

Invar has his own injuries though they're all a couple of weeks old and tended to. The broken arm and a scarred over gash on his head are the visible ones. He'll probably get them checked at some point but he doesn't need help currently. He sinks down to sit on the floor by the wall and just watch, wait and worry. He nods slowly to Zolomon's words after a little delay "Of course...thank y'. Won't go anywhere, don't worry" he clearly has no thoughts of going anywhere while Esen's like this "Always wanted t'visit...not like this" he quietly mutters.   

Esen makes no movement, but breathing so the rising and falling of her chest. Healers tend to her, they know the right mixtures and how to slowly, carefully, get one to drink a mixture with very little coughing.Her leg has some special paste laid on it and bandaged up, the bed ajusted a little as she is made comfortable, a couple hares likely peek in curious of the visitors.   

Cera helps where she can and sighs as she sits down when done "Thar, isn't too much more we can do but, wait now and see how she is. No clue when she will wake up.Hopefully any of those jellyfish move further away, likely close to shore cause of some of the tides..waves...they will go where its warmer though now...it does get a little cold here in winter, not nearly as cold as places."
   

Invar sits there silently for a long time just watching them work until Cera speaks and he finally snaps back out of his own thoughts and he stands, venturing closer "Thank y'. If y'hadn't been on the shore..." he frowns and hesitates but ultimately doesn't finish the sentence as he goes to sit down next to Esen's bed and wait there instead "I thought all y'had t'worry about at sea was pirates, sharks an' storms"   

Cera shrugs "Well....other things can happen...robbers, ummm..sometimes maybe someone needs found, we help other places...at..times too"   

Zolomon says, "Had de kitchens locked for half a day once, that was a horrible horrible day indeed but it was solved..we watch de seas and shores and once in a while check on Halyard. stay in touch with Mossflower"
   
Invar keeps watching the other badger but his ears turn to the conversation and after a few seconds he at least finds it a welcome distraction from thinking too much "We came from Mossflower. We were goin' t'see Halyard" he frowns "The tavern there made the best fish cakes, I was goin' t'get some"   

Zolomon nods "Sounds like a plan chap, but for now suppose...its a wait and see wot happens"
