Log:

Gorvenalus is sitting at one of the small tables, looking over a couple lists he has made and even crosses one item off a list and sits it down. He nods to a novice whom walks off to do what ever chores they need to do.

Benar walks in with an armful of cloth and a basket over one arm, he is carrying all this whilst reading from a piece of paper balanced on his arms. He looks around for his chair and moves toward Gorvenalus, "Gorve afternoon, how are you doing?"

Gorvenalus looks up and nods "Going over supply lists to see what is needed from the spice merchant or at the market, or if maybe elsewhere things to get. Also was updating things in the abbey logs..well almost all things."

Benar places his armful of cloth down, "I was just having a new traveling cloak fitted, Matilda insists I need to have the correct attire for this trip I am going to be taking around the woods." he starts to dig things out of his basket, "New socks, and apparently sandles are out so I had to go find my walking boots."

Crevan walks down the stairs and into the great hall, upon noticing Benar he runs over to greet him "Hello father Benar how are you today?" His attention turns to Gorvenalus and stares at him for a few seconds, seems he has never seen a beaver before, though he doesn't stare for long remembering that it is rude, but he does look over to him a couple more times

Benar smooths out his cloak, folding it over the back of his chair, "I am well Crevan preparing for my trip out into Mossflower, there are a lot of thing things I need to prepare for a trip like this it seems."

Gorvenalus waves to the fox cub "Hello..."He looks to Benar and chuckles "Well traveling boots are good to have at times and they likely worry cause your the abbot. Do you know where you are heading first and whom all is going? I will go unless you need me here"

Crevan looks over to Gorvenalus and smiles "Hello!" He greets cheerfully before looking back to Benar "A trip will it be safe, I only been on one trip and that was to come here and we got attacked."

Gorvenalus nods "The woods and roads seem safe right now, then I have not been out myself in a while and Benar will not be out alone"

Benar says, "It'd be nice to have you along Gorvenalus, we should probably record this," He settles down in his chair and lifts his boots out of the basket, "I am heading to Camp Willow first." He smiles at the beaver, "Thanks for coming along with me, Matilda is fussing about this as if I was planing to go to Salamandastron alone"

Gorvenalus nods "I be happy to come along, keeping logs of events is important, for sure something like this. Who else besides the Champion is going?"

Benar says, "Sinway asked if he could go along," he flicks his tail and things, "Hmm there were a few others, Matilda has the list of beasts going with us."

Gorvenalus nods "Thats good, maybe besides me and Sinway...2-3 others and some guards can go with you and Maltilda, some do need to stay here after all. SO the trip is in like a couple weeks or so?"

Benar says, "Yeah I am thinking we will head out in about a week or so, I need to have a chat with Dora and Matilda about some things"

Gorvenalus nods, "Maybe take a healer with us, just in case. I also heard you might go to Ferravale and Brockhall"

Benar says, "Yes and we are planning to head to some of the more remote communities out in the greater wood as well, so I am taking Sister Clemantine with us as a healer."

Gorvenalus nods and hmmms "I am not sure, Maybe Xander or Krisha could come along if going to Brockhall. I would suggest Oz but...."He frowns "I do not know all of what is going on with Oz but I do not think it wise if he wanted to go on this trip to go, it's more wise to have him just stay home."

Benar says, "Oz should not join us," He says firmly, "He needs to stay here and rest, Krisha perhaps could join us if she wanted, though this is a mission of peace and friendship... taking Xander along doesn't entirely sit well with me," he shakes his head, "I am not sure having the leader of the Defenders of Mossflower along quite harmonies with my desire to go on a mission of peace, I do not want to travel with an armed camp of warriors."

Gorvenalus nods "I agree, you can ask Krisha or perhaps not worry on a badger going with you. It may not really be needed. "

Benar says, "We can ask Krisha to join us simply because it is nice to travel with friends and not because she is a badger"

Gorvenalus nods as he smiles. He glaces down at a supply list "I have a list of supplies if Matilda was interested , for the trip, another is supplies the abbey will need, some soon and some supplies can wait a little bit, if you wanted those list I was done with them"

Benar asks, "Well we can always include the market in the trip? Pick up what we need whilst we are out?"

Gorvenalus hmmms and smiles "It is an idea, maybe even see if they have something we wanted to give to Camp Willow maybe."

Ewan walks quietly into the room from the entry, waves to anyone here and speaks briefly with an order beast before sitting down in a chair.

Benar says, "Not a bad idea, I think what the camp mostly needs is some good cheer and some building supplies, Folemole is going with us with his team to lend them a hand"

Oz walks slowly down the steps, he doesn't have his staff with him but seems to be doing ok without it right now. Some dibbuns are with him as he sends them off to a class with Sister Ginny, though one dibbun stays with him, or tries to as he softly speaks to them, they pout but walk off to join Sister Ginny for class.

Gorvenalus says, "I am sure they will welcome the help Benar and be glad to see friendly visitors"

Benar says, "Yes, apparently a lot of them are still suffering from the aftermath of what the Black Rose did to them," he frowns, "I know what.. being freed from slavery is like that can take seasons to recover from," he glances up at Oz and Ewan and waves to the the hair then frowns, "Oz good day have you been drinking your tonic?""

Ewan waves "I..am unsure if the Blackrose did much...might of, it was mainly Vikings or..something some seasons ago, I can look in the records again and find out more. I just know from a couple others some of the missing and enslaved otters were found and rescued and brought back home."

Oz hears Benar he just doesn't reply to him right away, first he gets mint tea from the kitchens, comes into the room and sits before taking a sip. Then he answers "The foul mixture was taken this morning....and will be taken before bedtime not to worry Benar I do take it....and Angela did a checkup on me yesterday"

Benar says, "I am glad you are drinking it Oz, you'd not want me to set Angela on you if you stopped," he looks over at Ewan and nods his head, "I am not sure what happened, either way it was not pleasant."

Gorvenalus speaks "Hello Oz, hope your day is well" He looks back to Benar" So ...guess a few last minute things to do before the trip then, make sure all is well here and whom ever is left in charge a few days knows what is needed to do"

Ewan frowns"My understanding is all tonics and..healing stuff always taste bad."He is curious though of the trip "Trip? The abbot is going on a trip soon? I would just say be careful is all."

Oz has heard a little of the trip but doesn't ask for details as he sips his tea and sighs "Beasts tend to worry too much."

Gorvenalus speaks "Well...sometimes its hard to not worry on some things,worry is a part of life it would seem."

Benar says, "Sorry it tastes so badly Oz," he smiles and settles back into his chair, "And we can't help but worry Papa it is just what we do."

Ewan says, "Maybe flavor it somehow, not sure how but some things can flavor it without messing up the tonic in what it needs to do and tonics help in the long run or are supposed to help anyways, then I don't know as much on healing as I should but been slowly learning some more as even basic or little above basic skills of healing arts if good for anyone to have"

Oz shrugs "Did talk them into this morning adding a little mint, seemed to help. And I am fine, not had any other bad days lately." He still is a little more tired and sometimes will get a little out of breath if talks a lot or does a lot of walking around but is been avoiding the walking staff, for now. Normal talking is fine but he did do a lot of talking yesterday as it was needed at the time.

Gorvenalus leans back in his chair and takes out a small paper he writes some things down quietly, but he is still listening in case someone needs to talk to him.

Benar reaches back into the basket on the table and pulls out his knitting, "Well Oz as long as we keep you full of mint tea I am sure you will be happy."

Ewan decides to mention something , though it may be known to some "Reva and Zolomon decided to head back to Salamandastron by the way, they left yesterday and its like a little over 3 week march thar, I told them to have a letter sent when they get there so, ya know...no one worries about them."

Oz chuckles about the mint tea "Mint tea is good Benar and I always have a cup of it sometime after lunch, and sometimes a scone depending on wot sort has been made."He is quiet "I have..also decided to just teach the math class, I did do the class on shapes and helped the dibbuns and novice learn the charter, but decided it best to let Krisha take over the classes and Brother Rick will also help another class of novices review the charter and history of the abbey"

Benar says, "Well that is good Krisha does seem to enjoy her work and Maths is important though getting the youngsters to pay attention to maths is not easy""

Gorvenalus looks up and back to his writting. He then quietly excuses himself and goes to the library.

Oz smiles "They tend to like counting buttons and beads, and even if once in a while they try and trick me..I always know how many beads or buttons are still in my paw."He nods "She...will have some classes after all when..."He frowns as he stops speaking, not really finishing his thoughts, he just goes quiet and finishes the mug of tea listening as others talk now.

Benar smiles and stands and gathers up his new traveling cloak and basket, "I should go get ready for the council meeting myself. But Krisha will do a good job and you taking it a bit easier is not a bad thing

Oz nods, "Oh yes council meeting almost forgot about that...I should be there, then have math class...then maybe a nap"He slowly stands, seems to make sure he is ok before walking to the steps, making sure to use the railing.

Ewan ears droop as he listens and watches Oz head off, he looks over at Benar before speaking"Umm.."Decisions, decisions..."Could we talk maybe later..."He sighs as the abbot has walked off, ok maybe he can just catch him later.
