A Trip For Flour,And A Chat-LP LOG

WHO:

Zolomon- Archer,Runner, Corporal in Long Patrol

Felicity- Runner, Sergeant in the Long Patrol

LOG:

Zolomon decided he volunteer to help get supplies at Halyard, besides he needed some fresh air to think, the last couple weeks had been..interesting. And A walk always was good to clear the mind.With him was his longbow and his saber and he was alert for any troubles, but the sky was clear and so far it was a good day.He slowly grinned and kicked a little sand as he walked.   

Ever since the DAB escapade in the kitchens (with Dominik helping, of course), Felicity has been in a foul mood. She's driven her Recruits and Privates and Corporals extra hard, jogging on the beach in full gear, extra reps in their strength building exercises. Going to help buy more flour was exactly what she needed to clear her mind and calm down, and forgive everyone involved in messing up the kitchen. They are on their way back home now, but the Sargent can't enjoy the sea like she usually does. She carries one of the bags of flour herself. Her sword is at her hip, as usual. She almost never is seen without it, even in the Mountain.   

Zolomon had noticed her grumpiness and kid of avoided her,well best he could, yes he avoided Felicity as she seemed a bit..scary even.He had free time, course it was tending to the every need it seemed of Zeldove, he even had archery lessons with the hare maid and started talking to her, was he starting to..enjoy this servant for a week? He smiled some and then looked over at Felicity ans watched her for a while , then cleared his throat "It wasn't..too bad right Sarg?...I mean..think they learnt not ta ..well...change color"He chuckles a little "And hey Dom was out, that was..good?"   

Felicity  hadn't really noticed him avoiding her. She actually had sort of been avoiding him, but she also had her duties. She glances at him, then smiles slightly. "Yeah, they did...and it was good t'see Dom out an' 'bout. I almost didn't go int'th'kitchen 'cause I didn't want t'ruin Dom's day. 'E sounded so /'appy/ when 'e was laughin'." She finally looks out at the sea, which softens her face and makes her smile a little more. The ocean made her happy.   

Zolomon nods as he listens to Felicity "Well..de dibbuns are de future of de patrol."He looks around, still clear"Clear nigh, no troubles..always good.The privates and Recruits are doing well with lessons and exercises lately"   

Snorting, Felicity shifts the flour sack she's carrying. "Oh, yeah...'M so lookin' forwahd t'it," she grumbles, then looks up at the sky. "Aye, I'm good wi' no storms. I'd also be good not 'avin' th'rank I do. 'Ad less beasts mad at me when I did rigerous excahsises when I was a Corporal."   

Zolomon shrugs "Excises be good..I think" He looks ahead a little as he smiles some, then shakes his head"Tis also good to just walk on de beach not like exercises or the contest..ha that contest was ..like amazing, Zeldove is gonna be one great hare for the long Patrol...her form when she fires off an arrow is great, she is so calm and in control, me and her been practicing some archery. she is strong for a hare maid too, you should watch her at practice Sergeant "   

When he brings up Zeldove, Felicity tries to keep hold of her happiness, but when he calls her 'Sergeant' instead of her name, she looks sad. The trudge along, then she breaks the silence. "Zolomon? Can I....talk t'y' 'bout somethin'? 'Tis important." She sounds hesitant, almost afraid, like she's not sure how he's going to react.   

Zolomon slows down, ok he thinks what did he not do, think think....he frowns "I got my paperwork..done...did I miss a meeting, if I did..sorry" He knows she been grumpy and so is being careful how he asks,"And talk is good..always heard talk is good even Lord C says ta talk if tis important"
   
Rolling her eyes, the hare maid stops and sets the flour on the ground. "No, 'tisn't....'tisn't anythin' t'do wi' Patrol stuff. I..." Felicity stares out at the ocean as the sky continues to darken. "No, 'tisn't that at all." She looks at him. "Y'really like Zeldove, don't y'? Like, more th'n just friends."   

Zolomon blinks as Felicity asks him the question "I..."His one ear sort of droops as he thinks on this "She is..nice and she is..."He sighs but smiles a bit "She is an amazing archer, but ya saw that and I am not that far off from ya know ..gaining distance , but those arrows were close and did you know she was in Defenders...too"He slowly sits down and just sits in the sand all quiet like now, he has been wanting to spend more time with Zeldove and was starting to enjoy her company, he let sand shift threw his fingers and finally looks at Felicity with a frown.
   
Sighing, Felicity joins him seated on the sand and stares out at the distant horizon. "Y'know....I 'ad a crush on you," she says quietly after a few minutes. "Then y'came an' told me y'liked me, and then Terrence said 'e liked me, an'.....an' I didn't know whot t'think. Then I started 'angin' out wi'y'more, an' I stahted t'wondah if we may not be good t'gethah...but I didn't...I /don't/ want t' 'urt ya." She pulls her legs up to her chest and rests her chin on her knee. Wrapping her arms around her legs, she bites her lip. "Y'both good archahs, an' I'm 'appy t'know y', Zolomon. But I think Zeldove likes ya...an' I want y't'be 'appy." Felicity has no idea if she's doing this right. She can only hope.
   
Zolomon listens and tries to think on the words "Likes me?..I mean..maybe I don't...the lass is nice"He frowns and sighs as he sits there "Felicity...we shouldn't stay sitting too long, the others wil..worry and..I would hate ta ..have anyone else worry bout ya..your me friend.."   

The haremaid just sits staring at the horizon, then leans over to give him a hug. "Y'm'friend, too. I'm glad t'know ya, an' I 'ope t'always stay friends, n'mattah whot. But I think...I mean...I don't see y'as anythin' more th'n that." She smiles. "An' I always trust y't' 'ave m'back." She's seen how impulsive he is, and now that she knows him better, she sees that they may not be a good fit. But they can still be good friends.   

Zolomon nods as he listens, he allows the hug but is not sure on hugging back."Maybe ya can see if you and..Terrance..are..ya know.."He shrugs as he smiles and does hug her slightly as a friend, "But..if he hurts ya, makes ya cry..tell me and I can make his jaw for ya" He stands and goes to carry both sacks of flour, maybe he..is falling in love with Zeldove, he smiles a little and nods "Lets get you home safe Sarg"
   
Laughing lightly, Felicity stands back up. "Oh, 'eavens, I don't even know 'bout 'im. We'll just see, I guess. An' don't worry, I'll absoballylutely tell y'if anybeast 'urts me or makes me cry. Just don't break their jaws when y'both in uniform. That'd be a mess." She holds out her arms. "I c'n carry one o' those, y'know. An' why th'worry 'bout gettin' me 'ome safe, or beasts worryin' 'bout me at all?" As if her week-long imprisonment with the toads back in November wouldn't have anything to do with that.   

Zolomon lets her carry a flour sack and he carries his as he nods quietly.He is still ever alert for trouble of course but lucky there is none
   
Shrugging, Felicity takes the flour sack and continues on their way. Hopefully the DAB won't mess up this batch of flour....

Zolomon makes sure they get home safe and sound.
