RW Abbey: Infirmary
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Several beds are lined against the red sandstone walls of the Abbey's Infirmary. An examination table, separated from the rest of the room by hanging blankets, rests against the far wall.  Tucked into a small alcove is a sizeable workbench with various containers for mixing and preparing medicinal compounds.  Against another wall is a desk for use by the Infirmary Keeper.  A curtained off alcove behind the desk hides a locked door to the Infirmary's supplies and linens.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Xander lies in the cot, not much of a change right now as he has his leg bandaged up tightly and still has a bit of the fever yet to go down, plus he has yet to fully awaken.
   
Gorvenalus sits by the cot as he rigs out a cloth he dipped into water. He decided to give the healers a few hour break or at least from watching the badger as he lays the cloth on his forehead again and adjusts the cover to his chest.
   
Xander doesn’t react much when the cloth is on his head, he shivered a little till the cover was replaced and now seemed fine, if only he would open his eyes .   

Gorvenalus frowns as he looks to the door and a hare that is nearby sleeping and refused to leave no matter what. He looks back to Xander," Come on young one, open your eyes. It’s a good sunny autumn day today and the colors of the season are falling making paths colorful. Not something to miss,"   

Xander only reply is a sort of weak groan, but his eyes stay closed for now.   

Gorvenalus is not sure what to do, there is only the wait and see now as he gets up and looks in the cabinets for something. "Let’s see...here somewhere"   

Xander moves ever so slowly, but there is still the fever. Yes it went down a little but it’s still troubling and may even be trying to slowly go up again. The bandaged leg looks ok, then one never knows under the bandage but no blood seeps through.   

Gorvenalus soon finds it "Yes..Yarrow." An herb good for fevers, he finds a bowl and warms a little water as he crushes some into a powder and starts to mix them together. He then goes over to the badger and gently as possible goes to get it slowly down his throat. Rubbing the throat to get him to swallow it slowly.   

LilyMoore enters the room, carrying a pail of water. She carefully carries it over to the fireplace and sets it down. She's being so careful that she hasn't noticed that anybody else is in the room.   

Xander coughs a little as he swallows the mixture with help. other than that he doesn’t wake up yet. He is breathing fairly well, his pulse should be a little stronger than it is now though.
   
Gorvenalus sets the bowl aside and gets the cloth on the badgers head wet again, laying it on his forehead again" Do wake up soon...your friends worry about you"
   
LilyMoore finally notices the other beasts and tip-toes over to them. "Oh my goodness, what happened?" she asks the beaver in an anxious whisper.   

Xander stirs just a little and then is still again.   

Gorvenalus sighs "I am not sure, no one is...the hare mentioned something about 4 foxes and him not having his sword, and that the only reason he is alive, let me see what did he say...he was saved by someone creepy or something"   

LilyMoore looks at the badger. "Oh my goodness! Why on Earth wouldn't he have his sword?"   

Xander mutters something as he seems to be trying to wake up, but still has his fever.
   
Gorvenalus frowns "I do not know child" He can get away with calling beast child as he is old!   

"Because he was in too big of a hurry to get back to Defender base cause Karth was told he be back by sundown. He left the blade in the weapons area." Comes a voice that is soon shown to be Oz, as the badger frowns he sounds concern" He should of waited, he was tried when he left but he didn’t listen to me."   

LilyMoore frowns. "Oh, no....I'm sure he'll get better, what with Daddy and Nana here to take care of him. But I'm sorry that this happened."   

Gorvenalus nods "I am sure he will..I hope. I am also here to help best I can. There is a bad wound on his leg that had some infection setting in but was tended to quickly and he has a fever that needs to break."   

LilyMoore nods, listening and looking worried. "Is there anything I can do to help?"   

Xander shivers slightly, mutters something before going quiet again.   

Gorvenalus hmms as he thinks" Maybe talk to him, you can keep the cloth on his forehead wet." Oz meanwhile sits down he has a short while before he needs to get back to the dibbuns, he is concerned still but also be warned he has a planned lecture for the boy after he is awake and well enough.   

LilyMoore has no doubt that Oz's lecture will be long and tedious. She gets a bowl of water and sits on the young badger's bedside and goes to check and see if the cloth is still wet.   

Xander cloth is a little wet still, but could be more wet but not like dripping wet as the fever does seem to be going down slowly.

Oz stands "I need to get back to the dibbuns excuse me"

The beaver nods "Alright Oz...." He looks back to Xander and frowns.
   
Krisha peeks into the infirm not being sure whether she should be in here or not. She stays by the door for now.   

LilyMoore rewets the cloth a little, then smiles faintly at the female badger as the old badger leaves. "Bye, Oz. Hi, Krisha."   

Krisha walks over to where Xander is and looks down at him in worry as she goes to take his paw "Xander?" She looks ready to cry but manages to not do so.   

Gorvenalus speaks "He is in a faint right now as a fever tries to break. I am sorry"   

Xander has been fairly still for hours, shivering every so often and responding to basically nothing while he had the fever, but its dropping now. He finally seems to make some sort of response, a weak grip on the paw that just took his and a sort of weak groan.   

LilyMoore looks at the clasped paws of the badgers. "Hey, did he just respond to you?"   

Krisha feels the grip, even if it is weak and leans in to say his name again "Xander....please...please not leave. You need...need to wake up..c..cause I...." She stops there for now and just frowns.   

Gorvenalus checks Xander's pulse as he speaks and listens to the others, more so Krisha, "Talk to him, finish your sentence. He perhaps hears you."   

Xander stirs a little and a mutter is heard but not what is said as his eyes flutter a little but doesn’t open yet.   

LilyMoore just stays quiet and keeps the cloth on the sick badger's forehead. She'll let the badger maid do all the talking, since that is helping.   

Krisha seems unwilling at first, she looks down at Xander as she holds his paw and is quiet a long while, “He...he can't die...please don't let him. I...." She is quiet as she holds a little tighter to the paw "Love him."   

Gorvenalus sits quietly, he has done what he can and in fact will probably find Angela or Leon soon since he has been in here a few hours with Xander.   

Xander seems to struggle to open his eyes but finally does and blinks a couple times focusing on Krisha,.. "K..Krisha..."He coughs a little and frowns as his leg hurts badly right now.   

Gorvenalus excuses himself and slips outside.

About the same time the sleeping hare wakes up and rolls out of bed..."Ouch" As he hit the floor and sits up. "Who? Wot? When ?Why?"   

LilyMoore smiles as the male badger opens his eyes. "You woke up!" She's excited, but she makes sure to keep the wet cloth on his forehead.   

Krisha smiles as Xander opens his eyes and goes to gently hug him, and if allowed give him a quick kiss, which sort of surprises her too...but she was worried and afraid he was going to die and is very thankful he is awake now as she just smiles "S...sorry was worried lose you, I don't  want...to lose you"   

The hare Zolomon is quick to stand and go to his friend "Xandy!"   

Xander is half out of it still, but blinks as he looks up at Krisha. He grips her paw a little better as if he is afraid she is going to rush off if he doesn’t.. "Krisha..." He sounds weak, but least he is awake. "Not..not gonna...lose me." He smiles weakly, he heard earlier words clearly it appears, "L..Love you too..."   

Zolomon asks "Should I GET Ms. A OR Brother L? huh huh huh?" Yes back to annoying it seems.

LilyMoore just listens with a smile on her face. Then Angela comes in and hobbles over. "Oh, good, ye're awake. The rest o' ye, out! Except you, Gorvenalus; ye're a 'Ealer, so you may stay and 'elp." She makes a shooing motion with her paws, and Lily does the smart thing and leaves.....very quickly! And then Angela goes to check on the male badger and see how he's doing.
   
Gorvenalus had not gone too far before he re-enters the room  as he nods to the mouse maid, he will stay and help her.

Krisha frowns at Angela but does smile at Xander's words and says a quick “Be back later...you rest..please" She then walks out to the open ground.   

But of course Zolomon protests "Xandy needs me..I will stay, I am not moving. I AM ROOTED TO MY SPOT!" And being loud is a crime as one look and he eeps and quickly dashes out of the room about tripping over a step.   

Xander smiles at Krisha, and tenses up as the hare yells as he is getting a headache now. He leans back and lets the healers examine him, replace bandage if needed and he will drink some water an go back to sleep, but at least he is out of danger of dying now and that’s always good.

The infirm is finally quiet when the badger falls asleep, and Gorvenalus gets out a quill pen and paper and quietly writes, if he is needed Angela is sure to let him know.
