Unexpected Surpise-LP LOG

Who:

Zolomon- Archer, Sergeant, Runner in LP

Xander- Badger and Former Warrior

Alif- Small little dibbun hare

LOG:

   
Zolomon was looking around the mountain, he sighed as he just sat down in a chair, for now, seemly giving up on whatever task he had.   

Xander was sitting in a chair looking at one of book"You...ok thar Zolomon?"He has finally gotten himself a room for him and his son, but wanted to go to the library so he kind of limped there with a staff.
   
Alif answered that question by peeking out from behind a book shelf, the young hare had stayed in the infirm and now had escaped into the main mountain itself.   

Zolomon sighs "De...Leveret...his name is Alif or least that's wot his..mom said"He frowns a bit now.   

Xander looks at Zolomon "And your....watching him or sumthing?" He glances at movement near the Records Room.
   
Alif comes out of hiding slowly and stares at them, he is curious of the badger and his eyes seem to enlarge "Youa badger lord?" The hare is likely around a couple of seasons old.   

Zolomon answers "No his mom....died, remember Kedlorns boat..."He then watches the small hare show up and chuckles a little but will let Xander reply to that question.   

Xander blinks, he smiles some "No, but he is a friend of mine"He studies Zolomon and frowns at the reply, "I..yeah the slavers stole Keldorns boat, didn't you and ...what was the Major's name....destroy it?"   

Alif seems disappointed that Xander is not the famous Badger Lord but he does sit beside him still,he looks at the floor as Zolomon talks,he is not totally sure what died or death is but he knows it means the beast will never be back and starts to cry some now.   

Zolomon replies to Xander, "Major Pete, he is...mainly de sentry hare round here..."He sighs to Alif "Hey...little buddy, it will be ok...mmm, I can keep an eye on ya, well maybe...dibbuns seem to dislike me"He shrugs at Xander"Hee...even little Ozzy doesn't like me much"
   
Xander speaks "Well...Oz is getting use to being here is all, give him some time"He smiles at Alif "Zolomon is a nice guy, don't worry."
   
Alif looks at Zolomon and back to Xander and scooted a little closer to Zolomon but not too close.He frowned again and hugged his knees to his chest as he sat there.   

Zolomon watches the little hare and speaks quietly "Tis ok...ya don't have ta like me, little buddy."He offers a smile"Your still welcome ta stay here though, in de mountain maybe one day even be a long patrol hare. U could show ya how to fire an arrow"He smirks at a memory "Me thought not Xandy here, he shoot ya foot paw, hee hee"   

Xander rolls his eyes but he does remember"Yeah never touched a longbow again I remember, then no one let me touch one again, sides blade and staff are far better"   

Alif looks between them again, he then goes over to Zolomon and reaches up to pull on his paw "Ya reallys mean it?"   

Zolomon chuckles at Xander and blinks as he kneels down to the younger hare "Mean wot little buddy?"He is wondering as a lot was said.
   
Xander just watches and stays quiet, he will let Zolomon handle this.   

Alif speaks "That....I cans stay 'ere...with you"He smiles now at the older hare"Yous is funny" He sounds a little happier now at least.   

Zolomon smiles, he looks at Xander as if he has some wonderous advice and back to the younger hare"Yes..you can stay Alif of course, I will personally make sure ya are ok, you can be my little buddy even , like...like a....."He thinks deeply on his next words, not to scare the kid but he is willing,"You could be like a son ta be even....and I make sure ya was never alone again"   

Xander slowly stands up, using the chair and the staff he has as help, a slow limp towards the door, he about falls once but keeps his balance, he makes it to the doorway, yeah he assumes Zolomon would be just fine, besides he was tried and needed some rest. And he wanted to check on Oz.   

Alif hugs Zolomon now and smiles, he seems to like the idea..."And you could be....daddy?" He yawns, it is getting a bit late.   

Zolomon carefully picks up Alif and slowly stands, making sure he won't drop the young one and smiles, should he though? Yeah...he should he decides."Yeah.....son"He looks to see Xander heading out, he starts to go help him and then decides his friend is ok"Ya know son, Xandy has the right plan...tis bedtime...right?"   

Alif snuggles close and allows himself to fall asleep in Zolomon's arms, he felt safe finally and finally was trusting someone.   

Zolomon just looks down at Alif and smiles,"Well guess that's a jolly yes huh little buddy?" He will carry Alif to bed and get to bed himself.He was happy himself as well.
