Log

Krisha has wandered out and moved slowly up the steps to the wall tops, frighteningly close to the edge and looks down into the woods with a frown and tears. A far off sort of look.

Caleb would soon walk out, letting a sigh come out as he wiped some sweat from his brow. He'd been working for a bit and wanted a break, looking towards his mother. He heads up to where she is, putting a hand on her side with a smile.   
Krisha sort of staring into space, she seems to react a little to him and frowns.It might be good to get her   
back to the steps.
   
Caleb looks out towards the forest and nods towards his mother before signing to her. "Mom... I know things have been hard... but Oz will be back home soon. And I believe he'd want to see his mother."   
Krisha looks at Caleb and sighs, she moves to sit lucky on the steps.Sheis still quiet though.
   
Caleb takes a moment to sit by her, taking one of her hands into his. He holds it there for a moment before letting go to sign. "Is there anything I can do for you? To make you happier?"   

Krisha feels the tears flow and lets out a couple choked sobs. " I..miss him, I want him back but he will never be back and there has been no signs of Oz yet even"   
Caleb gives his mother a hug and nods, feeling the sadness too. However, he takes a moment to dig through his pockets before pulling out something that was wrapped. "I know that I can't bring father back... but there's something I want you to have. Something that I feel like you deserve to have, and that would make you happier."
   
Krisha looks at the step and away,but finally to Caleb when he signs again. She wipes her eyes." What?"
   
Caleb takes a moment to unwrap the gift and hand it over towards her lap. It's a necklace, a rather beautiful one too. It looks like a flower made of metal with a ruby red gem in the middle. "This was my mother's. I went away to bury some things of my father's and move on... The night I got to my village, I had a vision from her. She told me that she would want you to have this... that it would make you beautiful and somewhat hopeful again. And she said to hold onto that hope. Oz will be back, and we can be a family again. So please... take it."

Krisha looks at the necklace and smiles a little bit now . She goes to give Caleb a hug.

Caleb smiles somewhat as he's hugged, giving her the same. He fanagles the necklace a bit before putting around her neck, just holding onto that hug.
   
Krisha allows the necklace to be on and wipes her eyes ." Have..hope, hope is good." She frowns. " Let's get off the wall, it's cold out here and I'm hungry"
   
Caleb giggles as that was really good to hear. He nods and heads back down towards the entrance and to the Great Hall, making sure to stop and watch his mother so that he knows she's coming.   
Krisha carefully gets to the main grounds and on into the Great Hall, still a little slow but she is still a little weak yet.

Caleb walks in, happier than he was earlier. He's starting to head towards the kitchens to try and get some food for him and Krisha.

Gorvenalus walks down the steps sneaking with an order beast " For now we will keep an eye on him, he will likely be unconscious till morning." He glances over as Caleb and Krisha enter the Great Hall.   
Krisha sits down and is smiling a little bit, not a lot but its a smile.
   
Caleb gives the beaver a wave before he heads towards the kitchen to get some things for all of them.   

Krisha looks over and a nod to Gorvenalus, " Who is in the infirm?" She sounds worried.
   
Gorvenalus walks over to sit down, " Velm, he is unconscious but should be alright. Matilda found him on the road, he...fought that Esmeray. " He holds up a paw before questions come." The cat Esmeray is dead, trust me."
   
Krisha nods, " Let me know when he wakes up. " She sighs a little but is still doing a little better.
   
Gorvenalus nods " Of course Krisha, how are you doing, you seem in a better mood that you have been."   

Krisha shrugs. " Some yes.." Though she likely wasn't on the wall for a good reason. " I..have to get back to..well life." She is quiet and pulls out a letter she got a couple days ago. " This needs...dealt with. But I don't know where to find everyone..Xander always seemed to..." She frowns and pulls something else from her pocket,a whistle as she smiles faintly. " He showed me this, told him it was broken. it wasnt, that eagle Silverwing can hear it. Well of she is a day or less away".   

Gorvenalus takes the whistle and smiles, a chuckle.He looks at the letter taking a guess at what it is,." Maybe try in the morning. Best make sure you have candy chestnuts"   

Caleb would soon come back and smile towards them all, placing a plate of some nice warm soup and a cool drink down next to Krisha. He was glad that she was at least smiling some.   

Krisha nods her thanks, to Gorvenalus, " Silverwing is...odd but speaking to her may be good for another reason."   

Gorvenalus smiles, he hands the whistle back to her, " Its best if you do, if you can call her tomorrow. I need to check on our hare friend " He waves and heads to the infirm.   

Caleb hands a bowl of soup to his mother before slurping a bit at his.

Krisha smiles and eats her soup and gets a roll as well that a novice brings. She drinks her drink and looks a bit happier, she glances at Caleb as she seems to be thinking about something.
   
Caleb is just happily eating, dipping his roll in the soup to add some more flavor to it. He looks up towards Krisha and smiles with glee.   

Krisha offers a smile, she even eats two helpings of soup when before it be maybe half her food she would eat. "Caleb...maybe you can help with something here soon."
   
Caleb finishes up only one helping before he puts his things aside, signing for her. "What do you need help with, mom?"   
Krisha shows him the letter. its old but has info on Mossflower...Defenders.."Mossflower Defenders..."   

Caleb looks towards the letter and holds it for a second, nodding. "What about them, mom? This was the group dad was a part of... yeah?"   

Krisha nods with frown, " Leader of it, even when he started being a novice he was still...leader, to advice them, they would meet by the firepit near the pond when here...the base is in Ferravale, I am..gonna find your father eagle friend Silverwing see if she can..well get them all here, its a small group...never was too big eevn when Ormaz burned down the first base they had"
   
Caleb nods towards his mother and looks towards her as he sets the letter down. "What do you want me to do?"   

Krisha sighs, " I am unsure...I..I don't want to see the group die out, it could still be needed. Weather its something small or major." She smiles a little. " And they are gonna need a leader again one day..just ot sure who. I will help but I..can't be leader, I am Badger Mother"   

Caleb blinks and looks like he was going to cry but... he nods towards her and smiles. "I'll be the leader. Dad wanted someone to take over... I can do it."
   
Krisha smiles at this," Are you...sure son? And I think your father would like that too. And your someone he would of trusted..." She thinks and shakes her head." Patch is....sort of a helper. Annoying but...yeah he's a friend. So you might deal with him sometimes"   

Caleb laughs somewhat and nods, signing more. "Yeah, I'm sure. I'm sure I could handle it. They just might be surprised to see someone so young leading them."   
Krisha nods " Guess we can figure it all out " She looks at the whistle she has and smiles. " And...I can see if Silverwing is around. "   

Caleb nods and drinks a bit more of his drink as he nods towards his mother. "Yeah. Silverwing will be able to help."   
Krisha says, "Yes, she should be able to." She smiles more clearly feeling better than she was." Thank you son for helping me tonight and..checking on me, I am feeling better. I can't say I won't still..break down and cry, I likely will but I Don't feel so llost and hopeless now."

"I'm glad to hear it mom. I didn't... want you to do anything drastic. I just want you to be here. Don't give up hope... he'll be found."   

Krisha nods, she frowns a little again but nods, a small smile."Yes Oz will be found, maybe Velm found out something." She looks at the steps." But...Velm is unconscious, we have to wait till he wakes up"   

Caleb nods as well and cleans things up, signing once more. "Don't worry. Velm will know something and he'll be up in no time. I know the hares... they're always up in no time."   

Krisha chuckles a little, she had not laughed since Xander's death. She stands and heads to the stairs, " I'm...gonna read the dibbuns a story, then go to bed. " She heads up the steps,a smile as the dibbuns will get a happy surprise.
   
Caleb nods and gives her a hug goodbye before heading to the kitchen to wash the dishes he used.
