LOG:

Keldorn was standing on the beach, ready to head back to the abbey. To Mossflower as he sighed a little as perhaps home would cheer him up, he surely hoped it would.

Zolomon walks up and offers a smile to the shrew "It will be ok K..and ya get an escort to the mouth of the River Moss."With Zolomon is 5 other assorted hares of the Long Patrol.

Ciocan is finishing up some exercises on the beach when he glaces over. He was not going with them, but did want to speak to Keldorn before he left as he finished his morning exercises and walked over "I see your heading off now, before you go thar was one thing I wanted you to have, to take back to the abbey" He hands the shrew a small package,"You can save that get you get back, my hares can get you as far as the river moss."

"Hold up!" comes a yell from the mountain as Greg come in to view. He's got a pack of supplies and his daughter up on his shoulders but she looks like she objects to the early start and looks half asleep still "I hear yah travellin' upshore. If yah happy for anothah it'd save me findin' someone else tah go with" he quickly throws a salute towards Ciocan. He requested a holiday which is something he never does and yet he's still in uniform despite being off duty.

Keldorn takes the package and nods, "I had..wished my daughter would of come but..I was not gonna ask, she..she knows where I am going"He turns as he sees Gregorian and gently places the wraped package in his backpack."Also I have a friend..Silverwing whom will help get me the rest of the way to the abbey from there."

Zolomon listens, he glaces at Greg and looks back to Keldorn "I remember Silverwing..She is a good choice ta have as a friend ta get ya back home K."

Ciocan nods, he looks to see Gregorian come up the beach "Good timing." He gives the hare a nod before looking back to the shrew "I will make sure your daughter gets back to Halyard if that is her wish but yes its best to leave it up to her where she wishes to go."He looks to Greg again, "And you and your daughter have fun on your holiday and be careful, just remember when your supposed to be back, I can have a couple hares come and lead you back when its time to head back to the mountain"

Gregorian chuckles and talks to the badger, not interrupting the conversation of the other two "Fun is guaranteed. I'll make sure we're not comin' back alone when it's time. A week or two and it'll be back tah work"

Keldorn lets the hares talk to the badger, he seems curious as to what is going on but doesn't ask, he is just sticking to his plans, meet a friend and get the rest of the way to the abbey.

Zolomon has not heard much himself, but he does know a ship of otters was spotted going towards the river, not something to worry about of course but interesting, he then speaks "And I will be back once I make sure K..and.."Hmmms..lets not go with a nickname here "Gregorian is safe and sound at the River Moss"Of course the other hares will be back too.

Ciocan nods and smiles "Of course."He nods to Zolomon "I expect a good report from you and the other Privates, for now I am heading back to my quarters, have a safe journey..all of you"This includes the shrew, he nods and heads back to the mountain and on inside.

Gregorian nods to the badger lord and watches him go before he turns back round to give Zolomon a look "Gregorian? Even the officahs go with Greg" he looks amused and shakes his head before he starts walking.

Keldorn decides to ask "So...is something going on at the river moss my friends?" He then goes to follow the hares as they walk.

Zolomon shrugs "Umm..some don't always like nick names sur..higher ups fer sure."He smiles a little "I can go with Greg ."He rubs his neck, still a little sore from the other day."I am..not sure, something"He had not heard, then maybe it was mentioned while he was in the infirmary the past 3-4 days.

Gregorian snorts "Yah bettah off stickin' tah rank with them. If they didn't like Greg they'd probably be just as concerned yah didn't put sergeant in front of it" he chuckles to Keldorn's question "Otters! Lots of otters. They're gatherin' up by the Moss tah have some fun"

Keldorn nods "Interesting, sounds like something they must do every so often"He would not know much of it, he was a wanderer after all or he use to be one anyways, that life was ending now as he would live at the abbey."Maybe I can stay a couple days, if they allow it"

Zolomon grins "Could call ya G..."He listens and smiles " Hullabaloo..every 4 or..5 summers I believe, I thought it was just otters though didn't know others could join in de fun G"

Gregorian looks amused "If yah call me G wot do yah call someone else who's name starts with G? Like Grace?" nods once though not too much as his daughter Grace is practically asleep on his shoulders "Every 4 years though knowin' ottahs if they could they'd do it every year if they could. It is just ottahs officially but yah know, they're ottahs. If yah bring some ale or entertainment they don't care, they're just tryin' tah have a good summah. I get a pass though, I got raised by ottahs, I got family there"

Keldorn manages a small chuckle "Sir Zolomon was always good with nicknames it seems, I will stay but a day or two, then back to the abbey to be a novice."

Zolomon nods "Greg then.."He grins and smiles "Otters are always nice and always have hot root around, Hot root is something me grandfather loved, me...I am so-so with it..maybe something between really hot and mild seasoning."

Gregorian chuckles "That's not answerin' the question. Maybe they can be G2, G3, problem is remembahin' which is which" he grins, he's looking forward to this "They've got a contest tah see who can make the hottest hotroot, if yah not fond of the heat I'd suggest avoidin' that"

Zolomon hmmms "I...just come up with...other names....not many with G as a name..who knows maybe a name based off a like."He shrugs.

Gregorian just chuckles "I guess yah will have tah figure that out when it happens...Lucky for yah I can't think of a large group of hares beginning' with G still livin' in the mountain"

Keldorn quietly listens as they talk, he seems to have other things on his mind right now.

Zolomon says, "I suppose..."

Gregorian smirks "Ah relax Zolomon, I'm just jokin' with yah. Yah can call the ottahs as many names as yah like before yah go back"

Keldorn finally speaks "I wili have to warn them of Silverwing...she is a eagle but friend to good beasts. No worries unless ya be a fish" He smiles a little

Zolomon nods, he glaces at Keldorn and nods to him "I can help...though I will only be there a day before I and the others have to head back and I can let your daughter know your safe and sound...well if I see her that is, I don't go to Halyard very much"

Gregorian chuckles "It's goin' tah be a bad season for fish already, yah start throwin' eagles in and they'll think it's the apocalypse" raises an eyebrow at Zolomon though he still sounds amused "And every time yah do go tah Halyard I get a report sayin' somethin' went wrong...usually involvin' bar fights"

Keldorn says, "Why is it going to be a bad season for the fish...all the otters in one place?""

Zolomon frowns "I don't...always get into a bar fight and ...well not sure the monitor counted on de beach, it wasn't really a fight more a..sort of ummm...chat?" He sighs "He grabbed me by de throat and I passed out and woke being carried ta the infirm and it was on the beach..someone else took care of de monitor."

Gregorian nods to Keldorn "Exactly that, it's just as well there's plenty of fish in the sea, it'll probably take a lot tah feed them all for a season" the raised eyebrow returns to Zolomon "The monitah started as a bar fight. Aftah yah were in that bar fight with the fox who took the dibbun. The monitah was friends with the fox if yah recall, then Dom knocked him out in the bar. That's already two in a month...and if the fight starts in a bar and yah just take it outside I'd still say that counts"

Keldorn nods and frowns as he listens "So...the monitor was around before. I think it was a slaver..the monitor is dead your badger Lord killed it..very lucky I say that he was there...I do believe Seriea told him or a hare and the hare told him there was trouble, I know not but things could have ended badly had he not shown up..the monitor was following us from Halyard is my guess

Zolomon frowns and his good ear droops "Yeah...but me and Private Dale were trying to keep a look out and my plan was to get back to the mountain and make sure you were ok K...did not think we run into Mr ugly scales..."He looks back to Greg and sighs "Sorry sur...guess I have bad luck in Halyard..maybe its best to avoid going there or...well...take another with me maybe"

Gregorian rolls his eyes to the sky "Wot yah youngstahs just need tah learn is how tah sit in a bar with vermin insultin' yah and not escalate it in tah a fight. Honestly, yah could call some of the recruits longears and they'll start throwin' punches"

Keldorn says, "Walking away is always good advice, if it can be done....I have been in many taverns, some are a lot worse than that one is""

Zolomon nods as he sighs "I will..try sur tis just hard soemtimes. And some seem to respect the long patrol and yeah a lot don't in Halyard, not sure of other places only other tavern I was ever in was in Ferravale and that one is gone, but they have a new one now me buddy owns"

Gregorian snorts "Yah can't make anyone respect yah and yah just have tah accept that they won't. Slavahs, killahs, yah can fight them but yah best not givin' in tah the ones that just want tah provoke yah for bein' a hare"

Zolomon frowns"I know sur..I know" The group will likely have a break or two, I mean they are hares and they need to take a break for some food and water, but they will get to where the otters are safe and sound, maybe a little fun before most of them head off leaving Keldorn, Greg and Grace there.
