Why Did Ya Come Then?-Dibbun Slavers TP LOG

Who:

Ciana-Dibbun Hare

Tenzin-Sea Otter Warrior

Gregorin- LP Hare,Master Blacksmith,Fighter,Lt.

LOG:

Tenzin is, again, at the railing looking out at the sea, a few clouds were in the skiy and beasts went about doing chores and such needed to run a ship

Gregorian true to his species is eating. He has a bowl of some porridge like stuff as he wanders up on deck, ducks past some beasts messing with rigging, side steps a hare with a mop and also ends up by the railing. He squints out at the sea with just a "Hmm"
   
Ciana is looking around, but at least staying away from the railing now. She keeps an eye on the grown ups and stays close to some hare keeping an eye on her.   

Tenzin looks slowly over to the hare, "Hello" He says , likely the first word he has really said to many on the ship since he been on it, well since they left the island anyways."Need sumthing?"
   
Gregorian's ear turns to Tenzin before the rest of his head follows "Hmm?" he looks slightly puzzled for a second before shaking his head and looking back at the ocean "No, no. The view just nevah changes every time I come tah look. It's hard tah tell if we're gettin' anywhere" he has yet to spot the dibbun either.   

Ciana stays close to some barrels and watches them. She then sneezes as something,pepper maybe, gets into her nose.
   
Tenzin nods "Yeah, ever closer ta some shore ..."He tries to remember "Western Shore think he said, headed thar probally get thar...when we get thar"He glaces towards the sound of the sneeze and snorts.   

Gregorian snorts with mild amusement "It bettah be the western shore, we've gallivanted off across the ocean one way, we're not goin' back the othah" he also glances back at the sound of the little sneeze but his default serious expression turns in to a smile for the dibbun instead "Hello there small pea. Yah wandahed up for a bit?"   

Ciana frowns, so many on the ship she doesn't know so she just backs up a little to the barrel again, even below deck she stayed a bit away from the other dibbuns even.   

Tenzin watches the dibbun and speaks "Don't slip off the side of the ship again..ok, rather not have ta jump in the water again" He would of course , he looked back at the sea and then the dibbun.   

Gregorian smiles a little more sadly when she backs away. He crouches down to be a little less towering and hopefully less scary but he doesn't get any closer "It's alright, yah all safe here and soon yah'll all be home" he frowns slightly at Tenzin "Don't go scarin' them. No one's goin' ovah board on purpose"   

Ciana frowns,"Home?" she asks, she seems unsure what home is to her,she had lived in the woods till her family was captured and had seen the abbey from a distance but was never in it, thorigh her father was.   

Tenzin snorts again "Not my fault I'm scary...or something" Then again the otter has been rude and grumpy since he been on board or just staying off to himself in some corner of the ship."Least most here have a home ta go back ta"   

Gregorian frowns a little more at Tenzin "That depends if yah tryin' tah act like it" crouching is hard with a pegleg so Greg ends up sat on the floor before he smiles back at Ciana "Aye, home. Where is it yah from? The abbey?" he glances back at Tenzin "Hmm, well, those that don't will get new ones. The shore's a whole lot biggah than that island and the abbey folk would happily look aftah anyone"   

Ciana speaks "Me,Mommy and daddy lived in woods....then the bad fox and ferret grabed us...they had daddy visit the abbey."   

Tenzin listens slightly but seems not too intrested really, "New home....hmmphs" Besides him there was probally maybe a couple others that didnt have homes, and some otter dibbuns he had no clue where they were from.   

Gregorian frowns slightly at the mention of the vermin "Well, maybe when yah get tah the abbey yah dad will be there. Maybe the beasts that came with us from the abbey will know" he looks back to Tenzin and raises an eyebrow "Wot's got yah in such a mood?"   

Ciana smiles at the idea that maybe her dad was at the abbey after all, she looked hopefull anyways.
   
Tenzin snorts a little "Just the past...that wolverin destoryed my home, my whole holt...me and , at de time, 5 other cubs taken everyone else died...only me and one other still surrived that whole...thing"He frowns and looks away.   

Gregorian is also hopeful the abbey folk will have some good news for the dibbun but he doesn't know himself what happened. He keeps that raised eyebrow at Tenzin "Aye, and I get that. Yah've had a bad time of it but why are yah bein' arsey tah us and the kid? Yah lived, yah chose tah be here. Yah got a chance here the othahs didn't. Yah live tah do all the things they should have got tah do and everythin' yah've wanted tah but haven't been able to do while survivin' in that place"   

Ciana whimpers and backs up a little as the grown ups seem to argue a little,she looks at the trap door and sits there looking between them.
   
Tenzin shrugs "I ..."He snorts, yeah try and make friends he had been told, he seemed to be thinking not likely. "I didnt want to stay at that island. Too many bad memories...even in the tunnels and caves, not many good memories thar really"
   
Gregorian is a straightforward sort of beast who just may not put up with much "Well yah got yah wish, yah here, yah free. Yah get tah do wot yah like and decide wot yah do with yah life...I just don't know why yah actin' like that's a bad thing" he spots Ciana has retreated again and he looks a little sad and sorry "It's alright, we're just talkin'. Yah don't have tah be afraid of that...Hey, my name's Greg. Wot's yah's?"   

Ciana ventures a little closer but again stops, "C..Ciana..."She says softly as she looks between them again.
   
Tenzin just goes silent and looks out at the sea as if he will see something of intrest,he just stares and maybe half listens to them chat.   

Gregorian gives Tanzin an extra little frown but leaves him be and focuses on Ciana instead "Well that's a very pretty name. Yah know I've got a daughtah too, she can't be much oldah than yah. She's likes tah play games and dance and draw. Wot about yah? Do yah like stuff like that?" he's keeping things simple for the dibbun and trying to be nice and friendly.

Ciana tilts her head, a small, very small, smile she speaks "Played...games. Played by creek."   

Gregorian smiles a little more at her tiny smile. He's always loved kids and is more than happy to sit on the floor and chat in that overly enthusiastic voice grownups can have when talking to small children "Ohh, yah had a creek. Did yah go swimmin' or catch fish?" it's a very different Greg to his life in the patrol.   

Ciana smiles a tiny bit more but still keeps a few feet frown him "Daddy...fished....I liked the creek" Its hard to tell where it was, likely sort of close to the abbey..   

Gregorian stays where he is, he's not going to get any closer for fear of scaring her off "Ahh and I bet he cooked those fish up in tah a tasty dinnah for yah all too, right?"   

Ciana nods, she seemed happy to remember happier times. She sits down now and yawns a little as if tried.   

Gregorian chuckles quietly as she yawns. At least it seems like she relaxed "Yah look like yah could do with a nap dear. Why don't yah find the othah dibbuns and lie down for a bit?"   

Ciana frowns a little, but then decides to just nod again as she finally stands and heads down below after another short while.
