The Abbot Is Busy Today

*Marek is only at the first part, but the rest is important as well *

This happen in Redwall Abbey RW Abbey: Abbot's Chambers on the November 6th 2016 and right before this log http://forum.rwmuck.org/viewtopic.php?id=16

Marek had been escorted through the halls of the abbey by a single guard. They have been escorted through the abbey and up to the Abbot's chambers. Benar is sitting behind his desk, reading through a bound report book, turning the lined sheets one by one as he considers things. He looks up as the stoat is escorted back into the Abbey and he removes his glasses and slides the book to one side, "Marek, please have a seat."
   
Marek nods and takes a seat by the abbot's desk, placing a leather flask of some sort of beverage gently down before speaking with the abbot. "Of course, Mr. Benar. May I acquire as to why you have summoned me? With harvest wrapping up in Ferravale, I have been a very busy beast. I am also uncertain of Ms. Blisa's ability in the wake of Mr. Scioto's passing. Although I suppose she does have other assistance in the form of that seer"   

Benar shakes his head, "I am sure Blisa will do well given time, and the seer... has always appeared competent. But what I invited you here to discuss was your exile. It has been many seasons now since you did what you did and you are a very different beast from then."   

Marek seems surprised. "I was not aware that enough time had passed to even consider a pardon for the events that had transpired. But I feel I have done much to prove that I have indeed changed, Mr. Benar" he takes a sip from his flask. "The business with the last several beasts who have attempted to take over Mossflower notwithstanding, I also aided in the recovery in Zork Winter's sword among other things"   

Benar shakes his head, "You have changed Marek, who you were, what you were, that may as well have been another person entirely." He leans back in his chair, "We are taught that all beasts can be good, that everyone can change... Marek. You have changed and forgiveness is part of our order's charter."   

Marek nods, unsure if smiling is the best facial expression to show right now. "I'm glad that you feel this way, Mr. Benar; I am uncertain how to move forward now but I will do my utmost to prove myself worthy of your trust"   

Benar says, "Indeed I am unsure how best to move forward. I think I need to gather the elders and ask them to support me in rescinding your withdrawal of hospitability. This would give you access to the abbey once again."
   
Marek nods. "Thank you, Mr. Benar. I shall not abuse this privilege; although I doubt I will be able to visit often, I have many responsibilities in Ferravale"   

Benar says, "Indeed, but I felt that despite everything that has happened. It was time to move forwards and lay the past to rest"
   
Marek shakes Benar's paw and nods. "Of course, I will return at a later date if you confirm this. In the meantime, I shall have to return to Ferravale. I have heard rumors of a beast with ill intentions snooping around Ferravale" he turns towards the hallway. "ZARAM!.." The mole makes his way down the hallway surprisingly quickly. "I trust you enjoyed yourself at the feast, but we must depart now. One cannot expect a village to function without it's tavern owner, or it's recorder" He turns back to Benar. "I shall be taking my leave now, unless of course you need to address anything else, Mr. Benar?"   

Benar smiles softly, then frowns and pulls a note toward him, "One thing... it is my duty to warn you that there is a beast in Mossflower seeking you. Someone seeking to get revenge for parents you killed during your bad days. I am afraid I do not know their name. But you should be warned."   

Marek nods. "I believe that Zee Winters has mentioned this beast, I shall have to keep my eye out for her. Thank you, Mr. Benar and good day...come along now, Zaram" The two walk out the hall and down the stairs, heading back home to Ferravale   

Benar says, "Until I see you again Marek... and thank you. For proving to us all that a beast can atone for what they have done. I hope you will join us at the winter feast/"
   
Caleb had just finished his chores and even helped with lunch and dinner for the day. He arrived at the abbot's doorway and then knocked on the door waiting on a reply.
   
Benar looks up at the knock and speaks "Enter please" He says quietly as he finishes straighten up some paperwork on his desk.   

Caleb enters the room and nods "Umm....you had wanted to see me, earlier I think but I got busy with some chores, sorry Father Abbot"   

Benar smiles "It is alright Caleb, I was busy earlier with a guest and then I had a meeting with the elders over an important manner that’s now been taken care of. I had forgotten to give you your acorn pin for gaining novice rank 2" He holds out the pin to the mouse and smiles, “I am sure your do well and be a Brother in the order sooner than you think, just remember it doesn’t get earlier, it gets harder from here on out, and will not be some overnight task or even few days thing. More responsibility and more to do, your need to be more mature and serious but I believe you can handle it."   

Caleb smiles as he gets the pin and places it on his tunic with a smile “Thank you sir and yes, yes of course I know and...I am ready to face any challenges to come"   

Benar nods and smiles "You can get your new  rank robes tomorrow morning and you can choose a field of study but think on it before you choose it alright"
   
Caleb nods again “Yes...I have an idea but will think more on it." He gets the robes for rank 2 and excuses himself as he heads out of the room, almost bumping into a hare, the hare is Flint “Could I speak to ya abbot?" The novice Caleb meanwhile heads off his parents of his rank 2 novice rank now.
   
Benar blinks as he looks up "Oh Corporal Flint, hello is there something you need I had thought you and felicity left already to go home" He waves a goodbye to Caleb.   

The hare shakes his head "Not just yet, want ta bally well make sure a wildcat is no longer a threat, I stopped in here to see if you seen Alise..the other hare maid that was with me, I seen her last night but not today"   

Benar frowns "Alise...wait that’s the name of one in the great hall before the feast...oh dear" He sighs "I may have an idea where she is, and I may be wise to go find her. In Ferravale as she may be seeking a stoat named Marek and not for a good reason either" He sounds concerned.
   
Flint eyes widen as he remembers the name from recorder logs Alize read to him and sighs, "I..I will go find her before de lass does something foolish, excuse me" He then rushes off
   
Benar nods and watches as the hare rushes off and sighs, he then stands and goes to head to his bed, it is getting a little late after all.

But before he does a knock at the door and in steps Zee, "Abbot Benar...can we talk?"

Benar stops and smiles "Sure Zee come on in" The two beasts over some tea and scones.
