LOG

RW Abbey: Pond
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The abbey pond is practically the place to go for relaxation.  The orchards that settle onto one side of the water hole provide decent shade for the more heated months to come.  Various types of wild flowers grow about the edge of the ground that lightly overhangs into the pond.  The pond seemingly invites one into its cool depths, which holds its fish life and multiple species of shrimp and other water dwellers.

Midway between firepit and pond, the stateliest of oaks is undergoing rennovations; there seems to be a small ship forming in its branches!  The skeleton of a hull and keel is starting to sprout, growing day by day, firmly anchored to a stable platform at a split in the oak's trunk.  Rope ladder on one side, sturdy rungs in the tree at the other, not to mention the tree itself to climb.
   
Spring has come.  Due to the rains, the abbey pond is just gently lapping at the edges of the ground.  Soon to overflow lightly if the spring rains don't let up soon.  Plant life seems to explode here in a variety of colors, sizes and aromas.   
-------------------------------------------------------------------
   
Benar is sitting in a tree, the squirrel perched quite high off the ground examing the blossoms on one of the pear trees and chatting with brother Elmef who is sat on the branch next to him, the two of them idly looking over the tree-blossom
   
Krisha walks along the path by the pond, she looks a little tired but still smiles and nods to Sister GInny whom is helping watch the dibbuns.

Benar peers down then plucks a series of blooms, winds his tail around a branch and hangs down from the tree and gently plops the flowers in a loop over Krisha's head, "Good day Krisha, how are you holding up?" He gives her his best smile then swings back up onto the branch safely
   
Krisha blinks and then smiles " A little tired today but ok, had a headache earlier but its gone now.Just letting dibbuns play a little while before class"   

Benar says, "Well I am glad your headache has gone Krisha," He smiles, "I am just helping Elmef inspect the trees here around the edge of the pond"

Krisha nods " So all is well in the orchands then?" SHe frowns when two of the dibbuns a out crash into each other running" NO running"..She gets a muttered sorry before they go back more towards the pond.   

Benar says, "Yes everything is fine, it is just the trees nearest the pond get the most passage and people moving around them so they need a bit of extra care"   

Krisha nods again as she speaks" I am sure when its time the pears will be good but its always nice to see the blooms also"   

Benar says, "The pears will be fine this year," The abbot smiles down at the badger, "And yes seeing all the trees in bloom is always wonderful"   

Krisha speaks " I heard the Spring feast is soon, are we ready for it?" She looks over at the playong dibbuns and back to the abbot before sitting down under the tree to rest a little.   

Benar says, "We should be more then ready for it, we have the post-poned story telling contest to enjoy and the usual games and activities planned during the run up to the feast itself. It should be a good day"
   
Krisha smiles "Almost forgot bout the story contest." SHe frowns slightly for a moment then seems ok after a brief few secounds." Stories and games should be fun"   

Benar says, "Indeed and there should be a flower arranging contest," He smiles, "That should be quite nice, we will have plenty of flowers in bloom then."
   
Krisha says, "true there is wildflowers by the abbey, some by the walls also and by the pond." She picks a violet and twirls in in her paw.

Benar says, "Well no need to leave the safety of the walls," He frowns down at Krisha, "I shouldn't have to remind you it is dangerous to wander around out in the woods too much, we have plenty of flowers over in the garden of the late rose as well."
   
Krisha says, "I have stayed inside. I Did think on going to the woodland market but Xander volenteered so I let him and true there is some wild flowers by the pond and along thewallas inside, even some fallen peddles from the blossoms of the trees."
   
Benar asks, "Well that sounds like more then enough, did you want to take charge of the flowers for the feast? Decorating the tables and such?"
   
Krisha smiles at the idea " I would love to, it would be fun "   

Benar says, "Well that is settled then, you can consider yourself in cahrge of the flowers, rope in as many people as you need to help"

Krisha nods "i have some ideas who to ask to help"   

Benar says, "Well thank you Krisha, that is one less thing for me to have to organise."
   
Krisha chuckles as she stands, seems a little too fast as she clearly gets a little dizzy and reaches a paw to the tree with a smalll frown.
   
Benar says, "Careful Krisha," he hops down out of the tree and places a steadying arm on hers, "Take it slow my dear"

Krisha nods " guess stood too fast is all and been a little tired today"   

Benar says, "Well make surte to take it easy, it can't be long now until the little one is due, you should hand over your duties with the dibbuns to someone else for awhile"
   
Krisha says, "Maybe but I am fine no need to worry Benar. JUst tired is all couldnt sleep well." SHe frowns, slight pain but not too much as she sighs a bit, her footpaws hurt too lately.
   
Benar asks, "Well Krisha make sure to take it easy, maybe we should head back inside so you can put your feet up?"
   
Krisha frowns, she glances at the dibbuns with SIster Ginny and looks another order beast" BUt the dibbuns need me out here"

Benar smiles "No they do no, they are with Sister Ginny, other members of the order are able to look after the dibbuns without you."   

Krisha frowns but follows him inside" Alright...time off my footpaws will be nice"   

Benar says, "Exactly, it is just what you need, Abbot's order"

Krisha nods and slowly follows him to the Great Hall and sits slowly in her chair.She ribs her feet as they are swollen a little and hurt.

Benar walks over with some tea and scones " Here Krisha,,also I am having Sister Gemima check you and wont take no for an answer,  am I clear?"

Krisha nods as she leans back in the chair, sips tea and eats the strawberry scones, she adds hot root to her,scones and smiles. She puts up with a check up and ends up taking a nap till dinnertime.
