You're not a murderer (IC RWA RP 6.6.2020 Dibbun Slavers TP)
SCENE: Redwall Abbey Fire Pit
LOG:
Log-A-Log is sitting by the firepit, maybe deep in thought.Beside him is his son,Xavier who is learning to pull himself up and try to walk, he again falls and the Log-A-Log helps him stand again and smiles "You will walk soon son, yes and...who knows maybe have playmates soon"He hopes anyways, no news is sometimes not always good.
LilyMoore has been visibly upset to some degree ever since the battle on Tuesday. She has been helpful, but her bright smile has been nowhere to be seen, and she has been almost silent whereas before she used to sing and talk and just.....be happy! But her joy is gone, and she won't tell anyone why. She comes to the firepit, walking slowly, arms crossed and gaze on the ground. She used to skip and dance everywhere, head held high. Now it's as if all the light has been taken from her. She doesn't even notice the shrews until she almost sits on the log the Chieftain is on. She then looks up and mumbles, "Oh, sorry," and turns to leave again.
Log-A-Log looks at the mousemaid "Oh..do stay Lily, I am getting name right correct?" He offers a smile"You seem down...talk?" The dibbun shrew looks at her and giggles before sitting at the foot of Log-a-Loh and yawning,nap time.
LilyMoore stops and turns back around, nodding. "Yeah, you got my name right." She smiles the tiniest bit as the Dibbun giggles at her. She waves at him. "Hi, there. Aren't you a cutie." She sits down on one of the other logs, her tiny smile fading away again. "Yeah....I guess I am kinda....down." She hugs herself and stares at the ground between her feet.
Log-A-Log asks, "Why down de day is nice and bright and your smile is kind"He says as he smiles again"You are alive and that is good yes?""
LilyMoore shrugs as tears start to form in her eyes. "But....but I killed somebeast. I killed /2/ beasts on Tuesday. I've never done that before, and I feel so /bad/ about it...." The tears start really leaking down her face. "I didn't mean to, but I just....just didn't want to die...why should I be happy and smile when.....when I'm a murderer?"
Log-A-Log thinks quietly then speaks "No your not...I mean I must be too then..hmmmms? And others...gee a lot here then what ever shall we do?" He is trying to show a point,well he hopes anyways
LilyMoore sniffles and wipes her nose on her sleeve (eew). "No....no you're not...." She scowls, not appreciating his sarcasm. "You were just....just trying t....to protect everybeast...."
Log-A-Log smiles "And you were protecting yourself and the abbey as well, if the rats had gotten in...well they could of harmed anyone lass"He stays where he is, he is trying "Its never easy to...kill anyone, and the first time I have seen beasts...well go insane.i first killed..."
He sighs at the memory.
LilyMoore sniffles again and wipes her tears away with her wrists. "I....I guess you're right. I just hate having to do it so much." She finally looks at him. "Did you cry your first time?"
Log-A-Log thinks "I..." He does remember,somewhat as he sits on a log again from kneeling, goof thing his son is napping " I sort of...may of went Bloodwrath...my sister was killed in a camp south of 'ere...near that old church, she was Log-a-log before me..the camp was ambushed, half the camp was killed by these bandits...I got her blade and attacked...but things went black and there was shouts and a...scream? and I woke in an infirm tent"
LilyMoore listens, wide-eyed. "That sounds scary," she whispers. "I'm sorry she died." She thinks back to her own 'first kill' and how scary it was. Maybe he really does understand. It's hard for her to keep in mind that none of these people were born Warriors, exactly. They all at some point needed to pick up a blade and fight for their lives for the first time, too.
Log-A-Log says, "It was...somewhat...wot saying is your not a murderer, your a very liked beast...loved by many and you helped save and protect the abbey"
LilyMoore listens and thinks about what he is saying. They head inside since it was getting late. But maybe the shrew Chieftain had helped her....
