SCENE: Salamandastrong Infirmary

CHARACTERS: Cynthia, a female mouse. Xander, a male badger. Felicity, a female hare. Adrian, a male hare. Spoofed people, mostly hares

LOG:
Cynthia stirs and opens her eyes and by now about 5 hours has passed. She looks around and sniffs the air, "W..Where....am I?"

Xander had fell asleep sitting by the wall, he opens his eyes when he hears the mouse maid and stands slowly as he goes over to her "Salamandastron...me and Zolomon brought you here it seemed better than the clinic in the village"

Felicity is laying on her belly on a bed with bandages wrapped around her head, arms, and legs. She covers her head with a pillow and groans. "Why is everybeast so loud?? And why is the sunlight so bright??"

Cynthia blinks "The......badger Mountain..."She frowns and looks away "S...Sorry" Her stomach growls and she frowns, great just great.

Xander walks over "Felicity what happen to ya? You didn't run into sand lizards too did ya?" He looks over at the mousemaid and checks on her as he nods "Yeah...umm I would get some food or drink but...they seem really strict with that sort of thing"

Felicity glares at the badger. "Nevah y'mind, wot!" she struggles to sit up and starts attacking the bandage on her head. "Whot d'y'mean, 'sand lizahds too'? Oh my word, did you get attacked? Oh, pish posh, I'm sure they'll spare some food for a guest, a wounded one, no less...." She has managed to get the wrapping on her head loose.....

Cynthia frowns "Lizards?" She looks to the hare and shakes her head "I...I didn't anyways...Xander helped me at the tavern from this...rude rat who tried to make me stay 'til something that wasn't my fault was paid off but it's all fixed now"

Xander frowns and looks over at where Flint is and sighs and back to the haremaid "Me...Zolomon and your Uncle was ambushed but these couple sea otters helped us and Zolomon got your Uncle back here and...he is healing now" He walks over to check on Flint who has a bandage on his arm and one on the left side of his face. He watches 'til he sees him breathe and steps back" I...me and Zolomon and Leafeyes should be 2 days upriver by now but...well change plans and leave tomorrow maybe"

Felicity listens as she finishes unwrapping her head. She has some serious cuts on the back of her head and a beauty of a bruise on her left eye. "Oh my word!" rubbing her not-injured eye, she adds, "I'm glad you lot made it back 'ere safely." Standing, she hobbles over to the mouse's bedside. "I'm Felicity, by the way; I 'ope that, othah than yer fright ovah in 'Alyard that y'feelin' welcome 'ere in my 'ome." She smiles crookedly as she extends a paw. A Recruit sticks his head in, and the haremaid waves at him. "Oh, 'ey! Could y'please sneak some food up 'ere to us? We're starvin to death!" The Recruit grins and nods, going to do just that.

Cynthia says, "It...ended rather quick or well the tavern one did...I was worried as he told Xander to leave and I thought he would at first but he mentioned he be back with someone named Ciocan and some of the hares are...the rat sort of ran after that," She shakes the paw "Cynthia..."

Xander smiles and grins "I didn't plan on leaving and the look on the rat's face was priceless"

Felicity chuckles as she shakes the mouse's paw. "I bet is was. It sounds like ya 'ad fun there, Xandah." Sitting on the edge of the mouse's cot, she adds, "'Tis nice t'meet ya, Cynthia." she scratches at her upper arm, then grumbles something about wounds itching.

Cynthia nods, she smiles weakly "I...use to live at Redwall, sort of miss it but...well long story let's just say sometimes you think all is swell and will be great and then it's not but you are unsure of going...home...as sort of messed things up"

Xander grins but it fades as he listens to Cynthia "mess up what? You be missed and sure Lacota be happy to see you again"

Felicity gets a concerned look on her face. "Aye, whot did y'do to make y'think you'd not be welcome? I'm sure yer family would be ecstatic t'see ya, wot!" The Recruit comes back, carrying a tray piled high with food. "This was all I could get," he says mournfully, setting the tray down and then backing away. "I need t'go for trainin', sorry!" "No problem, y'did good! Go learn somethin'!" As the Recruit dashes away, the haremaid turns back to the mouse. "The food can wait;" (what?! Blasphemy!!) "what do y'think y'did, love?"

Cynthia frowns "I...someone most likely hates me...cause he asked me...well something and I said no and made him really really upset and he almost fell in this pond where ice was thin, so yeah he almost died cause of me"

Xander listens and is unsure whom she is talking about "Umm...sure you can be forgiven. Please come back with me to Mossflower and if you rather avoid the abbey a few days go to Ferravale if needed...I know..." Oops a certain name is bad here... "Ummm a stoat I know who is good can let you have a room above tavern."

Felicity listens, her brow furrowing. "Aye, I'm sure Xandah's right; you'll be forgiven, if y'aren't already, wot!" She smiles and gets some scones that are spread with jelly from the tray. "I don't think 'im fallin' in the pond was yer fault, love. That sounds like somethin' y'could nevah 'ave predicted." She offers the mouse a scone. Food makes people feel better, right? Um, well, not always. Will it help this time?

Cynthia sighs and gets a scone, and then another and another and a bit of salad and pie, and drinks some water quietly before laying down, she rolls over to face the wall and ends up falling asleep, she most likely needs sleep

Xander blinks, he watches her sort of eat like a hare and then sleep and looks over at the hare maid "I am...unsure of what happen...but I do know she is missed"

Felicity has eaten a fair amount of the pie and salad herself, but is trying to leave some for the badger. Nibbling on scone, she slides to the floor, looking worried. "We've got to try and convince 'er to go back to Redwall with ya. I think 'twould be best for 'er."

Xander sighs, he does get a scone and nibbles it "'Tis safer there...and she could get hurt, well maybe not in here but back in Halyard. I am unsure of that rat's plans but it didn't seem good ones and I don't think anyone from Redwall left her alone there, she mentioned someone abandoned her there and she didn't have a safe way home, its like she wants to go but is unsure."

Felicity finishes her scone in record time as she thinks about this. "Whoevah she 'urt must've been very important to 'er.....or she was important to 'im and she 'adn't realized 'ow important she was until 'twas too late......or somethin'. I could be totally off." She pours the badger and herself some tea. "I can't imagine nevah wantin' to go 'ome, though......"

Xander says, "Yeah its all I wanted to do when I was..." He frowns "Enslaved by the wildcat"

Felicity scowls. "'E was a monstah. I'm glad 'e's gone, and I'm sorry that ya 'ad to put up with such terrible abuse and 'orror. I wish we 'ad found y'soonah." She stares at the floor, looking regretful and troubled.

Xander goes to lay a paw on her shoulder, if allowed "You didn't know...no one knew it would happen and I know beasts looked for me. I am just upset with myself for...for letting Jedrick make me have anger issues, I got use to fighting in fighting pits and carrying lots and lots of things...well in a way his plans backfired, he made me stronger and I learned to use a blade a little quicker than normally would. I am also quick on my footpaws...I mean I am still learning to better fight, learning to be a leader to the Mossflower Defenders and I been getting advice for that, even some from Ciocan...he even spoke to me 'bout...bloodwrath, its not easily controlled but one can...how to put it...rechannel it or something to not go...well...too out of control. I went into bloodwrath a couple times once with a monitor and the fight is sort of blurry and one with a fox who guess he thought he had me beat...cornered when he told me he...killed my mother...the fox well let's just say for sure died"

Felicity lets him lay a paw on her shoulder, even though it's sore from the fight she got all her cuts from. She listens carefully, chewing her lip. "That....sounds scary, honestly." she looks him in the eyes. "I just wish I could've done more, Xandah; y'shouldn't've 'ad to live through all that. But I am glad that y'got vengeance for y'mum; y'probably saved many lives by killin' that fox."

Xander nods "I...been through a lot yes but...well I got though it and am better for it, someone told me ...well more than one that no one is perfect and shouldn't try to be, it's a lost cause to try and be perfect and always have the right answers. I had to come up with answers spur of the moment twice...once during the time the insane squirrel Quade took over things, see Quade had the abbot, and me and Zolomon and another member found his base...Quade was about to behead the abbot and I didn't have time for plans I Just...acted and yesterday when Flint was badly hurt and could of died...no healer around and I knew Zolomon could run fast and I said ok go get him to a healer and he did...yeah it took me a little longer to catch up but had I said well no let me carry him...well he may of died"

Felicity listens, a smile forming on her face. "Well," she says quietly after the badger finishes speaking. "It sounds t'me like ye're growin' into a fine creatah, there. Brave and bright, a good leadah. I fully mean it when I say that y'mum would be proud o'ya if she were 'ere, wot!" She stretches. "Y'are full o' courage and smarts and compassion. I would follow y'anywhere if y'were Badgah Lord! (No disrespect to 'is Lordship Ciocan, by any means)," she adds in a murmur. The food that that Recruit brought in is all gone, much to the haremaid's chagrin. She's still hungry!

Xander smiles "Well...I am not that good yet. I don't think if someone said they be right back with me to some vermin that they would run off" Yeah that was funny with the rat earlier yep sure I will leave be right back with the badger Lord Ciocan and some hares, the badger is taller than Xander is, proba'ly taller than any badger. He turns and waves trying to remember a name "Hello Adrian..." He smiles at the tea "I think most like tea, my Uncle Zee would put ale in his.....hmmms no clue what that is like, never tried it" hmmms good or bad idea to try it he seems to think.

Felicity just grins at the badger.....but then is distracted by FOOD. Glorious FOOD. *Gasp* "Youbroughtfoodyou'readarlin'lemmetakethatfromyouthankyousomuch'owdidy'knowweneededmorefood?!?!?!" She manages to say all in one breath as she hops up and quickly hobbles to intercept the hare. Her arms and legs are bandaged up, and her left eye is all bruised like she got punched, and there are pretty serious cuts on the back of her head. But they are all forgotten because FOOD. Obviously.

Adrian blinks, taken aback. "Hoi, hold on there. You're in no condition ta be up. I hate ta be that guy, the ol' fuddy duddy, but you... Bed. Get there. Ya look like ya got trampled by a horde o' pirates, then thrown ovahboard for good measah."

Xander watches, how do hares do it, make food disappear but he dares not ask.. He then nods in agreement, "Yeah....anyways I am here till tomorrow or....next day then heading home. Hoping with the mousemaid I helped earlier..."

Felicity has grabbed a hold of the tray. "WHOT? I am perfectly fine and able to be up and about gettin'.....food....oooough...." She is suddenly dizzy and nauseated! She still manages to grab a couple scones and a cup of tea and limps away. Limps because BANDAGED ANKLE HURTS NOW. "Fffffine! But once the world decides to stop spinning an' bein' so bright, I'll 'ave words with ya. I c'n walk, I'm a Runnah...." And she sits back on her bed over by the window, still chunnering to herself about the injustice of it all!

Adrian huffs. "You need rest, Felicity. Yah look awful." He sets the tray on a nearby table. "Anyway, Xandah, good ta see yah, wot. How yah been?"
