A Weasel Can Be A Friend.

WHO:

Elbio- Lt., Fighter,Archer,RW Residenital LP Hare

Darian- weasel visiting Abbey

Gorvenalus- Abbey Recorder

LOG:

Elbio is tired, it's been a long morning so far.He slips into a chair and rubs his forehead.

Darian slinks into the room, her head low as she walks,she looks up at the hare and quickly back down again.

Elbio  looks up and slowly stands on alert now when he sees a weasel."Hallo..."

Darian glaces up when she hears his voice, then pauses .Her eyes stay on him now She notices the uniform "S..s...Sala...The Sala..mountain!" Her face is amazed.

Elbio nods as he gets closer, careful and alert. "I am a Long Patrol hare, yes . Have an issue  with that lass?"

Darian looks over Elbio's uniform, then reaches a paw up, as though reaching for his sleeve. "I met another Long Patrol hare. You have a Badger Lord"

Elbio keeps a close eye on the weasel." yes..we do..who are you?" He is being careful.

Gorvenalus enters from the library"Greetings Lt. Elbio, how are you?"

Darian continues looking over the hare, her paw resting lightly on his sleeve. When she hears the beaver speak, she immediately looks away, her head lowering again.

Elbio takes a deep breath." I did ask a question..." He nods." Hallo Brother Gorvenalus, Zolomon has now left with Donica and Velm."

Gorvenalus nods,he looks at the weasel "Are you alright, did you need help?" He smiles to show he is a friend, as long as she is as well.

Darian looks up when Gorvenalus addresses her, and when she sees his smile, she slightly smiles back. "My grandfather," she says, looking back to Elbio. "My grandfather was a friend to one of them."

Elbio asks, "Friend?" He is curious now." Who was your grandfather? Though tis unlikely I know them or whomever they were friends with. "

Gorvenalus   says, "Perhaps one of the older hares knew her grandfather if that is so...her family must be friends of Redwall and good beasts..."He pats the hare on the shoulder "Do relax Lt. and sit down, tea and scones perhaps?"

Darian looks between the two, unsure of what to say, or maybe how to say it. "You won't believe me," she says, looking down at her footpaws.

Elbio is unsure and studies the weasel." State your name please lass." He adds." Why do you keep...looking at the floor?" He can tell she is nervous just trying to find out why.

Gorvenalus frowns and goes to get the tea and scones and soon returns sitting the tray down"Lt. Elbio, do sit please, we can chat with her just relax I know your morning was not the best having to send the others off with Zolomon."

Darian looks to Elbio. "I'm sorry...  just, really scared. I know most beasts don't like weasels." Then she looks to Gorvenalus, before looking to her footpaws again. "My name is Darian," she says, her voice growing softer again.

Elbio ears droop some as he slowly goes to sit." Sorry..just." He smiles at the offer of tea and scones and gets a scone and tea." And..yes, suppose tis more relaxing with zolomon gone now."

Gorvenalus nods"They will be fine I am sure. All will work out"He slides a scone and tea to the weasel "Here Darian..tea and a scone?"

Darian looks to the offered snacks, then smiles again. The young weasel steps up, taking a cup of tea in one paw, and a scone in the other. "Thanks," she says. "Lt. Elbio? I know they will be fine. Wanna know how I know?" Darian takes a bite of scone.

Elbio doesn't reply right away, then does." How lass?" He is more relaxed now and enjoys a scone and sips his tea pose smiles as he leans back"

Gorvenalus smiles as he leans back"The Spring feast is 4 days away."

Darian swallows her bite. "Wherever the Long Patrol is, everybeast is safe." Then she takes a drink of her tea. "Spring feast? Is that where they name the season?"Now she looks to the beaver, looking interested.

YGorvenalus says, "Yes...spring feast with the GUOSIM."

Elbio smiles." Food and music, fun..and food of course. "'

Darian 's  eyes seem to sparkle. "Wow"she whispers.
"Can I come too? My grandpa was at a lot of those. And... I think he named a couple."

Gorvenalus  says, "every good beast is welcome to the feast so yes you can come"

Elbio chuckles a little.' I think Velm was a wee bit upset he had to head back to the mountain sooner than planed."

Darian sits down next to Gorvenalus, sitting a little close to the beaver as she listens to Elbio, nibbling more on her scone.

Gorvenalus  says, "yes a hare missing a feast is likely unfun" He smiels at the weasel "So your grandfather was here before?""

Elbio listens as he finishes his scone and just drinks some tea quietly.

Darian nods, gulping more tea. "Uh huh"  she says after swallowing, then points her paw at the tapestry, at the image of Martin. "Used to be like him."Darian says that matter of factly.

Gorvenalus asks, You or your grandfather? I do know at one time, a fox was champion"

Elbio listens, he does need to learn some abbey history since he now stays here.

Darian looks to the beaver and giggles. "My grandfather silly!" seems that the socially akward weasel is warming up to him. "Yeah, that! The champion! My grandfather was that."Quickly takes another drink of tea.  "Flicktail was the fox champion. Grandpa was that before him."

Gorvenalus seems to remember reading this"Compest?"

Elbio looks confused." Ok I..really need to read up on things...now there is Matilda a hedgehog."

Darian nods her head quickly. "Yeah!" she says, her smile growing even more as she nods to Gorvenalus. "Compest! And he was really good friends with the Badger Lord!" Now she turns her smile to Elbio.

Gorvenalus says " Intresting.I wonder who was Badger Lord then..I only know the one now"

Elbio speaks." Sebastian was before Ciocan...before Sebastian. ....not sure...sorry"

Darian munches some more on her scone. "Bludstripe," she says, sounding a lot more cheerful now. "Used to visit us a lot. Made my grandpa sword."

Elbio smiles." Nice..." He is more relaxed now." A badger also made Martin the warrior blade."

Gorvealus  say, "Yes , Lord ciocan has made blades too,and even some other useful things. He came to our aid during a siege and also helped to return some dibbuns to us that slavers took."

Darian finishes the tea. "Lord Bludstripe thought it be neat to make grandpa his sword too, and grandpa agreed" she says, before looking to Gorvenalus, her smile fading a little. " They okay, right?Th-The dibbuns, I mean? "

Gorvenalus  ask, "The dibbuns? Yes they were all returned , all are safe and..."He frowns "Well almost all of the dibbuns, we did have a wildcat  cause some issues...and the wildcat took a dibbun, a badger cub But we hope a couple friends track them down."

Elbio frowns now." His Lordship knows and will keep an eye out, just in case..." He sighs." Maybe I was a wee bit too harsh with Zolomon..I..I know he misses his friend ..."

Darian frowns at Gorvenalus, her smile completely gone. The weasel slides her paws pff the table and wraps her arms around herself, her head looking down.

Gorvenalus nods"He does...Zolomon and Xander were best freiends..."He glaces at Darian "Its ok...there is no bad beasts around here or nearby...we are safe"He sighs"It is sad the wildcat is who knows where but we have hope he will be found."

  Elbio smiles at Darian." Darian...not ta worry. I am Redwall Resident hare, sent by his Lordship to help protect the abbey." He nods to the beaver. " Yeah.." As to not confuse Darian." Xander was the badger cub father, his mother is Krisha, whom is Badger Mother here, you may meet her she is very nice."

Darian when she hears the reassurance from both Elbio and Gorvenalus, she looks back up, and she smiles again, but not as much as before."I'm scared for the dibbun. But, um, if Redwallers and Long Patrol are working together... I /know/ they will be okay." Darian smiles a little more. "Would... the Badger Mother be okay with a weasel, you think?"

Gorveanlus e smiles "I think Mother Krisdha would be fine with you, besides having more friends is always good"

Elbio says, "Mother Krisha gets along with most." He chuckles." Just don't have a reason for a lecture..."

Darian giggles "Yes Sir" She then goes to hug the beaver and smiles "Thank You Mr. Gorvenalus"

Gorvenalus is surprised at the hug but smiles"Yes, Oz will be found."He will even return the hug "We should get you a guest room.I can let Abbot Benar know we have a guest"

Elbio smiles and gets a 2nd scone and nibbles it." Gonna be intresting visiting Log-A-log and his shrews.GUOSOM shrews I heard are very good cooks."

Darian nods. "Okay," she says in agreement with Gorvenalus, then she looks to Elbio. "Wow, I  really like to try some of their food, if they will let me!" The young weasel then stands up. "I guess I should see about getting a room. Thank you for talking to me. Um, see you both around the Abbey." The weasel makes a slight bow of her head.

Elbio says, "I can put in a good word for you with Log-A-log "

Gorvenalus says "that could be helpful as I know some friends from Ferrvale want to come too"

Darian blinks, "A good word... for me, Lt. Elbio?"

Elbio says, "meaning that I tell him you are friend  not foe."

Darian slowly she smiles once more, then runs forward and hugs the hare! It's Elbio\u2019s turn to receive a hug. "Thank you Lt. Elbio!"

Elbio blinks at the hug, but smiles after a couple moments. " Your welcome lass."

After hugging the hare Darian  takes a few steps back,smileing at him."I hope we talk again soon Lt. Elbio and become freinds. Its been a long time since I had any friends."She then waves.

Elbio nods and waves back, he then gets ready to head to the GUOSIM camp.
