Wot...Happen?-Redwall Log

Zolomon just stared at the ceiling, he studied it,as well as the wall and window.

Krisha walks into the room and crosses her arms over her chest. " Get up Zolomon."

Matilda stayed by the doorway." I am here if you need some help Mother Krisha."

Zolomon sighs and stands up." Wot? The good Lt.  gonna march me back to the Western Shores now?"

Krisha takes a deep breath and then exhales. "Not yet, after the feast to which you're not going."

Matilda shakes her head " Is this wise even?"

"Is wot wise?" Zolomon asks. " Keeping me all shut up inside a room, rarely visitors and hardly any food."

Krisha glared at the hare and went to force him to stand and follow her.

Matilda starts to follow the two beasts,looks to be heading downstairs and outside.

Zolomon raises a fist as if to punch the badger.But wisely lowers his paw and just pulls his arm away. "Let go..I won't go anywhere but where you go." His voice is grumpy right now.

Krisha snorts, she speaks." I will be fine Matilda. Not to worry. " She will let the hare walk beside her but keeps a close eye on him at all times.

Matilda nods and heads back inside the main building.

Zolomon just stuffs his paws in his pockets and stays beside the badger. " Where we going?"

Krisha doesn't reply and just leads the way to the graveyard and stops to face the hare." Now..wot all have you done, I know Elbio will update us and only heard part of it from that seagull. "

Zolomon replies " His name is Rufus." He then sees where they are and looks ready to leave. " We can talk else where. " His voice stays somewhat calm.

Krisha blocks the path " No, we are talking right here and right now ."

Zolomon twitches slightly and snorts. He glances at the gravestone...Xander Winters…...a small frown and then he sits facing away from it.," Fine...talk away."

Krisha sits beside him." How do you think Xander would feel knowing what all you did and going AWOL and whatever else...or what if it was you dead and..Xander was doing similar things and just….left."

Zolomon mutters to himself. " He wouldn't...so thar." He is quiet and speaks again." He..might knock beasts out."

Krisha sighs," What would he think of your gift was the other way around, you of him."

Zolomon snorts again,  mutters a cuss word and then finally speaks." Would ask..wot was wrong and..why….look he had family,I don't...almost a couple times but…" He just shrugs.

" Isn't the Long Patrol family?" Krisha asks softly.She frowns deeply." So..why have you, not been...you?"

Zolomon sends a glare at the badger. " Just…..shut ...up...you have no idea.." A deep breath is taken and he clears his throat.

Krisha frowns, she waits before speaking." Keeping feelings bottled up is.. not good." Tears fall. " Xander would've been sad over you acting  all..whatever. And maybe I don't know what  you're  going through, we all grieve differently." She sniffs." I stopped eating for a week, drank little tiny bits of water and stayed in my room..a lot."

" Why?"Zolomon asked calming now and looking at the badger. He even glaces at the grave." He…..wouldn't of like that either...I mean..ok I punched out a couple Privates, I may of not followed orders at times being over protective but...ya know vermin are scums and Halyard is full of them looking to just...kill any woodlander or hare in sight,like Brutus..he admitted he wanted dead hares.And I I wouldn't of injured bossy old Major Varus if he had just moved out of my  way." He makes a fist and  slams it into the ground.

Krisha listens and watches the hare, quiet for now.

Zolomon shakes his head, mutters and a deep breath."Wot…..happen?" He asks after a long pause .

Krisha speaks. " You tell me, your the one who is AWOL and sounds like done a lot."

Zolomon shakes his head." No….to.." He looks at Xander's grave, a frown,threatens to form.

Krisha follows his glance.She frowns." Zoltar...the wildcat killed him. This other cat tricked Xander by saying her and her friend  needs help...so he went.Oz some reason followed him. Me,Dorarose and Velm went….looking...found Xander dead,he had been dead maybe a couple hours or so...two dead weasels by him and proof they used a knockout dart on Oz. Xander fought back...it got confirmed he gave Zoltar the scar..likely trying to help Oz." Tears go down her face.

Zolomon frowns deeply, he tries to not let any tears fall its likely he hasn't cried since he found out, ok he cried a little but stopped as to not look….unprofessional in front of others and just not let a single tear fall since.A couple deep breaths and a small cough." Ohhhhhh….s….sounds like something me….best friend….."

Krisha wipes her eyes. " Its ok to cry. You and him were best friends, and you miss him..a lot." She frowns." I am likely the only other beast he misses Xander...more."

Zolomon shakes his head."  No….   no...I…" He then screams." I HATE VERMIN...THEY ALL NEED TO..DIE PAINFUL HORRIBLE….." Yes he shouted loudly. He then stands ." ITS NOT….." He falls on his knees and lays a paw on the tombstone. " Not...fair...tis..not."

Velm rushed over and looks ready to drag Zolomon back to that room. " Wot de bloody….."

Krisha sends a tear stained glare at Velm as if daring him to finish that sentence.

Zolomon breaths in and out and just finally falls over and openly sobs, shaking and shivering as if cold. He gets a word out.." X..X..Xandy…………."

Velm ears fall as he frowns,  unsure what to do.

Krisha gently goes to pick up Zolomon. " You can guard the door...ok but leave him alone till tomorrow. "

Zolomon will allow himself to be carried and will likely fall asleep soon as he gets back to his room.
