Log:

Zolomon is..surrounded as he sits down and grins. "And then wot bally well happen?" Asks a Recruit, one Timmy..he is new. Zolomon grins "Well those two just were goin' on and and On and laughing so I told em' ta stop the gossip as I just jolly well spoke to a higher up, course they rolled their eyes and said how tis was funny to say those things and how she had this drawing and on and on and I simple said turn around and they just are like..yeah right and then his Lordship clears his throat "The hares gasp like OMG...and Zolomon goes on, "Should da seen their faces as they slowly turned around and then got like the worse POSSIBLE ..chores like ever!"

Felicity enters the dining hall, looking around as if trying to find someone. Upon seeing the group sitting around her fellow Runner, she hesitates, then gives herself a little shake as she remembers, yeah, she's a Corporal, she'll be fine. Walking over to them, she smiles slightly, trying to figure out what they're talking about before she interrupts. She notices his audience includes leverets, and she peers at their heads as if to make sure who they are.

Zolomon doesn't see Felicity right away as his focus is on the young recruits and the 2-3 Leveret here "Yep...worse chore ever those two got but hey they deserved it right, ya ta listen and respect a Corporal and not do what they did .."A recruit does notice Felicity and stands taller all of a sudden and pokes the other recruits like.. ummm we should go get food it is the mess hall after all, the 2-3 younger hares just giggle and being that they are still basically dibbuns one asks "You likes her?" Zolomon tilts his head and "Well...I..." And then he sees Felicity and falls backwards chair and all and gives an "Ouch...." One of the leverets speaks "He went boom...".."He needs a healer!".."No he doesn't he fine..the chair is got...its a lost cause its too late"The chair is..broke in 3 pieces and somehow Zolomon is just gonna have a sore behind and leg a couple days.

Felicity watches the recruits just...leave. Cocking an eyebrow at the leverets, she shakes her head slightly as Zolomon falls over. "Really, Zolomon, y'need t'stop riskin' death like that, wot! Chairs are f'r sittin' in, not fallin' in." Offering him a paw up, she gives him a smile as she informs the Dibbuns, "Private Zolomon is just fine, little ones. 'E just needs t'pick less wobbly chairs." Glancing around the room again, she adds, "'As anybeast seen m'sistah Julia? She's missin' again."

Dominik happens to be down at the other end of the table; the massive hare is in the middle of polishing off a giant meal, it seems, plates and bowls of all kinds are stacked around him in various states of disarray. In most circumstances, Dom did his best to keep his appetite tempered, he never tended to go overboard, especially since he tended to train a lot and training on a full stomach is never a good thing. This time, however, he used his day off won during the contest to definitely make up for those previous days and the lack of stuffing his face. There are a handful of Dibbuns and a couple other recruits stationed near him, just staring at him with jaws agape. Even for a hare, he was putting down a lot! Glancing up, he lifts a paw and waves it in Felicity and Zolomon's direction. Ear perking as he hears about Julia missing, he frowns. "Julia...is missing?" He scratches his head for a moment, before something dawns on him, and a smile appears on his muzzle. "Oh vait...is thinking Dom saw her vith Dibbuns

Dibbunsitters, before coming here. Vas going to go visit soon, after food."

Zolomon lets her help him up and smiles a little "Umm...hallo and yeah I can..well...maybe someone can fix the chair." He looks over at Dominik and waves before back to Felicity and dusts off his uniform "Sorry, Corporal I will be more careful next time..promise"

Felicity smiles at the huge buck. "Oh, really? Thanks! She's gettin' good at 'idin'. I nevah woulda looked there." Turning to the Runner, she shakes her head. "'Tis alright, Zolomon. Although per'aps y'should take up woodworkin'." Cocking her head, she adds, "What story were y'tellin' that lot? Didn't sound like the usual type o' battle tale 'are try to wow audiences with, wot!" She is completely unphased by Dom's meal undertaking. She's seen otters eating at a Redwall feast and the Badger Lord eating a regular meal. This really isn't about like that.

Dominik laughs, "Aye, she is, most definitely. She is ze best at ze hide'n'seeks. Dom...is not so good. Is hard to hides ven is size of tree." He winks, before leaning back in his chair and taking a brief respite from the food onslaught. "Vas thinking of taking out to beach sometime, not sure if Julia likes, or not? Some of Dibbuns, do not like vater. Others, vould turn into leetle fish, if allowed." The buck grins. "Dom is in middle. Sometimes vater good, sometimes...not so good."

Zolomon blinks "Ummm just a couple ..privates that were being rude, got a chore from his Lordship and not one anyone would want ta be told ta do."He frowns "I dislike any other hare putting a fellow hare down, tis not right its...rude and to a corporal at that."

Felicity says, " i meant in my pose :This really *is about like that."

Felicity frowns. "Privates disrespectin' a Corporal? Glad 'is Lordship did somethin' 'bout it. Which Corporal was it? May'ap I c'n make sure t'talk to them." She's so humble (or has such low self-esteem) she has no idea he's talking about her. At Dom's offer, she seems to freeze. "Um...out on th' beach?" It's just the beach, why is she freaking out? Well, she

*Well, she's not freaking out, but she sure doesn't seem happy at that thought, either.

Zolomon one ear sort of..well half droops as he speaks "Umm...was talking bout...you"He hears Dominik somewhat and tries to calm Felicity "It's ok Felicity...I can go too and help keep an eye on the little ones, sides I sort of owe them some paints and shells help make paints, as does a couple other things"

Dominik notes Felicity's reaction to his suggestion, and he waves a paw. "Is no big deal if no. Dom understand..." he shrugs. "Some are okay wif beach, some are not. Is why I figure I would ask, instead of just doing." The large buck smiles. "Is plenty of other thing to do in Mountain, vil find vays to entertain, yes?" He chuckles softly. "And if is having problems vith Private, send to Dom. Vil straighten out very quick. Has vays of doing this..." the large hare grins slyly, his eyes glinting as he taps a spoon on the table. "Vil never do again, vunce is done."

Felicity freezes again. "Wait, whot, me?" So many things to reply to. "No, it's.....the beach. Um.....othah Patrollahs would be out with you, right? An' you'd stay nice an' close t'th'Mountain, right?" The Corporal's breath is coming a little faster. "Julia loves the beach, I....." She takes a deep breath and holds it, closing her eyes and smoothing down her ears to calm herself.

Dominik chuckles. "Of course, Miss Felicity. Dom vould take as much of ze precautions as possible, vould make sure Julia stays close and doesn't vander off. She vould be safest Dibbun in history of Dibbuns, ven she is vith Dom. Vil make sure of it." The large hare smiles. "Think about. If you vere vermin, and you saw Dibbun, then saw Dom standing next to...vould you vant to attack?" the hare gives her a wink. "Is thinking no. But, like said, if is getting bad feelings about, then ve can stay instead and paint, or somethink like dat. It is all up to you." He wiggles an ear, the hare good with whatever Felicity decides.

One of the sentry walks in, it is time to change sentry anyways and he has a letter it seems as they look at the hares and speaks "Umm...thar was this..letter and the bird had it and it..torn a little...")

Zolomon backs up a little and nods, he turns to the sentry and, "Letter?" He frowns, what is this letter, is it a bad letter? .."To...who? Wot about...did the bird say anything?"

Felicity finally opens her eyes, her breathing back to normal. "No...no, you should. Julia would adore an outin' t'th'beach. I'm sorry....my brothah was ambushed by pirates seasons ago, an' then m'parents were killed exactin' revenge. So I'm always worried when m'fam'ly's out on the beach. May'ap I could come out with you lot an' see 'ow safe it is f'r meself. I trust you t'keep 'er safe. Maybe I just need to prove t'me mind that it's okay." As the sentry comes in and announces the letter, the Corporal straightens up. "Should I go get 'is Lordship?" Better a Corporal than a Private do it, right?

Dominik gives a nod of understanding at Felicity's words, knowing full well of what she speaks. "Aye, understand. Dom dealt vith similar situation before coming to Mountain. Vent out to get vood for fire, come back...pirates kill mother and father. Sisters, brothers. Dom only vun left. Decided to come to Mountain, one day vil hope to find them." He frowns a little. "But, Dom swears, Julia vil be safest vith him out there. Swears on life." He glances over at the messenger as he comes in, ears perking as he watches him curiously.

The sentry shrugs and frowns "I didn't read it...it was addressed to Lord Ciocan, ya not supposed to read others mail...and I didn't ask just sort of took it" Yeah he should of asked, oh well.

Zolomon frowns, ok maybe he is concerned but just nods as he just sort of stands there, yeah great lets worry about the mystery letter.

Ciocan walks in about the tale end of this and gets the letter from the sentry and excuses them as he opens it and reads it quietly and then a second time before speaks "Well.."He smiles "We seem to be gonna have a visitor or two, likely in about a weeks time or so."He looks to the others and will likely answer any questions, but he needs some food as he sort of missed lunch and so he is getting a large plate and a mug of some sort of ale before he sits down.

Felicity sighs. "I'll go get 'is Lordship. Be right back, you lot." She heads to the door just as the badger enters. "Or not. M'Lord." She salutes him, then goes and sits beside Dominik. "Thank you," she whispers once the monarch gets in line for food. "An' 'M sorry 'bout y'fam'ly. 'Tis a 'ard thing. May'aps we can see if anywhere in the records there were any sightin's o' the pirates who killed them. I take great solace in knowin' m'fam'ly's murderers are long dead an' gone, their bones rottin' on th' bottom o' the ocean, nevah to 'urt anothah beast again." Waving Zolomon down, she pats the seat beside her. 3's not a crowd, right?

The sentry gets a plate and sits down on the far side of the room

Dominik gives Felicity a warm smile and a nod. "Is velcome. Julia is beginning to means a lot to Dom. Is likely closest thing vil ever be to having leverets of own." He shrugs. "Vas never somethink on plans, never really thought about, if being honest." The large hare watches Felicity carefully for a few moments, certainly appreciating her sympathy. "Thank you Felicity. Is thinking, enough time has passed, vere Dom is thinking that perhaps basing entire life on revenge is not visest vay to live. Is thinking, has put past behind, is trying not to think of. But, family alvays live here." He pats the spot over his heart with a paw. "And here." He pats his temple. "But, may be good thing to find out for sure, if pirates are still out there. For peace of mind, if anything. Is much appreciated." He reaches over to pat her paw, his ears perking. He glances over as Ciocan enters, waving a large paw in his direction.

Zolomon sits beside Felicity and is quiet, though watching the badger he can tell it isn't bad news and he breaths a sigh of relieve but he is also curious "Visators..sur?"

Ciocan seems to make them wait, eating some of his meal and drinking down some ale before he speaks "Yes..Ewan sent a letter, its good news not bad news Private Zolomon...a hare was found that was thought dead, some may remember the name..though I know it was mainly you, Ewan and....Tarsha he stayed with on the journey..."He then sips his ale before giving a name "The name..Jhan familiar?"

Felicity nods. "Aye, revenge isn't the way to live....but would be good to know if we should keep a look out for 'em, wot!" She blushes slightly and glances at Zolomon, then coughs to cover it up. "Aye, 'avin' a fam'ly isn't necessarily somethin' beasts in our kind o' life tend t'think about. But maybe y'can now. An' learnin' to take care o' the leverets is a good way to find Miss Right, I dare say." Another glance at Zolomon, then she asks in a friendly tone, "Jhan? Who's that?"

Dominik nods his head in agreement with Felicity. "Oh, for sure, vould be good to know if ve need to keep eye out for them, either vay. It vould be appreciated." He chuckles at her words, his eyes lowering as he shakes his head. "Oh, is not sure about that. Dom has never been vun to think of having family, has alvays been focused on fighting and training, those things. If being honest, isn't sure if zis 'Miss Right' is even existing, or vun who vould look at Dom in zat vay. Is beeg mess..." the hare laughs, shaking his head. "Look at me, for proofs...who vould want to spend times vith this?" The large hare glances up at Ciocan, the information quite interesting. He didn't know of this hare that was mentioned, but...more hares in the mountain is certainly a good thing.

Zolomon smiles a little at Felicity , sort of quiet as he watches her for a while , another smile and then the name is said "Jhan ..he was.."He then looks at Ciocan "Wait...wot sur?"...Did he say he was..."Alive? He was...I mean is....dibbun that was rescued on the way ta Redwall and he was at the camp when..the ambush..."He smiles glad his little buddy is alive and seems happy, truly happy for once in a long while, he smiles at Felicity "Isn't it great Corporal FEl..huh"He starts to hug her and stops and clears his throat "Good news..."He sits down.

Ciocan smiles "It is good news indeed and it is good to see your happy Private Zolomon, we can keep an eye out on the shores, if they are coming by log boat...should t take too long as river travel was always faster than by footpaw"

Felicity shrugs and chuckles slightly at the big buck. "Y'nevah know...." Grinning back at her fellow Runner, she nods eagerly. "Aye, 'tis grand! Per'aps y'can 'elp be one o' the ones keepin' a watch for them t'get 'ere." She stands. "I just realized whot time 'tis. I needta pick up m'sistah now that I know where she is and bring 'er to get dinnah. I'll be back. Keep that smile on, Zolomon," she mock orders, and then she jogs out of the room to her sister. Good news is great news after so much death at Redwall those seasons ago.....

Zolomon nods "It is good news and...keep the smile, I..I can..try" He keeps it, somewhat and if able will sit by Felicity and her sister at dinner and maybe talk, he hasn't really talked to many in a long while so this is a good sign.
