Felicity-Corporal and Runner in LP

Cera-Private and Healer in LP

Ciocan-Badger Lord

LOG:

Cera had traveled a week and a half, thanked the otter and headed to the mountain, only to turn around and spend a couple days in Halyard to think, just think she told herself and finally decided to just go already to the mountain, it would be fine she told herself.She keep the hood up on her cloak, least for now.   

Zolomon had just got done helping train some archers and no one misfired a arrow today, he was glad as they did fairly well"Well they are improving at least."   

Ciocan nods, his attention is on the cloaked figure as he listens to Zolmon speak.   

Felicity rolls her eyes. "Yeah, by inches and crawls." She's been in a foul mood since yesterday, when one of the sling shooters she had been training shot her with a turnip (she wasn't allowing them to use rocks for just that reason). "They'll prob'ly shoot a gull on accident next time," she mutters gloomily under her breath, also watching the cloaked figure.   

Cera kicks some sand and mutters till she looks up and slows a little, maybe a couple steps back as she hides a frown, so unsure of staying and the fact she normally pays attention to where she walks, she was not this time.She starts to say something and decides to just not speak for now.   

Zolomon chuckles, "But one sea gulll can become 3...or 5...or 7, its really odd too tis like all just one blooming gull and suddenly out pf no where thar is more" He has yet to turn around and see what they are looking at.   

Ciocan keeps focused on the cloaked figure and decides to walk towards them. Alert as always he studys them a moment as he looks down at them, his deep voice then sounds "Greetings...were you looking for someone or just a walk on de beach?"   

Felicity scowls, touching the bruise on her forehead. That turnip was surprisingly hard. "Yeah, so we don't want t'shoot one o' their comrades...oh, nevah mind." Even though she's not in the best of moods, she just stands back and lets the Badger Lord handle the stranger. The Runners are close enough to be backup if he needs it.   

Cera looks at the sand in front of her and slowly up and..UP at the badger. of all the ones to run into first why the badger himself? "I....I was..."She frowns, she didn't have a plan on how to explain where she been, she grows quiet and then suddenly, not caring for his reaction, she goes to sob into his tunic.   

Zolomon frowns and spins around he had missed the cloaked figure and then frowns at the..reaction, "Ummm....k..."He looks at Felicity a little confused and shrugs, then back to Ciocan and the cloaked beast just unsure how to handle this, this is...new.   

Ciocan is surprised but he doesn't back off or try to move the beast.An eyebrow is arched as he stays calm and a gentle arm wraps around the beast.The voice he is not sure he knows, not one to memorized tons of voices, perhaps a face to the cloaked figure would help as he lets them cry and clears his throat "Who...are you?"   

Felicity watches, then leans over to her fellow Runner and says, "I'm not sure I know who that is. Do you recognize 'er?" She keeps watching carefully -- ever since that thing with Hansi, she's become wary of hares she doesn't know very well.   

Cera is a bit busy crying and tenses up as she was not expecting an arm around her, she manages to calm enough as she sniffs and steps back a little to take off the cloak, she has a bad scar going across her face, and one on her cheek as well. She likely needs a new uniform but that can be taken care of later, "Private Cera Dove Collins...sur" She remembers how to salute and does so now. She is a healer hare.   

Zolomon stays where he is and tilts his head, not like he got to know every hare that came with the group, yes he got to know some of the ones who survived and came home.He stays where he is as least its not a threat or least seems like not a threat.
   
Ciocan listens as the name is given and his eyes widen.He studies her a long moment, "At....at ease."He tries to form words but its failing him, a hare thought dead is alive in front of him, a hare that was not found and he had search teams look during the few days he stayed at the abbey. He goes to give Cera a gentle hug, "How..in the seasons?"   

Felicity raises an eyebrow. She has read the list of dead and missing hares many times, and so she actually recognizes the other haremaid's name. "May'ap she got lost? With an injury like that, it prob'ly took 'er a while to 'eal enough t'do much o' anythin', actually."   

Cera again tenses a little and then relaxes and speaks after a short while "Some beast...saved me, and...injuries. I couldn't walk fer a while and finally could, went to the abbey to...to learn the nightmare was far, far worse than had thought before..so many names lost and..I seen Ewan, he said the ones who lived went home, I..I wanted to, to go home...weather welcomed back or ...not"   

Zolomon blinks, he starts to speak but is unsure so he doesn't yet as one shouldn't interrupt the Badger Lord after all.   

Ciocan says, "Why would you not be welcomed...of course you are welcome back. Welcomed...home.You can find Major Varus or Major Jinora later to see on wot unit you can be placed in, but for now you are home and I welcome you home"
   
Cera sniffs and just nods, finally speaking again "I am glad to be home sur"   

Felicity rubs the bruise on her forehead as she watches this exchange. "We always welcome 'ome those who are truly loyal, lassie. 'Tisn't like y'deserted, wot! Cera, was it? I'm Felicity. Don't mind me, just got beaned on the noggin yestahday by a slung turnip. I'll be okay." She smiles.   

Zolomon offers a smile "Course ya welcome, tis good ta have you back then."He knows the uniforms as he looks at her "Your a healer right?"   

Ciocan listens and nods "Lets get inside, it is dinner time soon. It is good to have you return Private Cera, healers we are sadly so so very low on, but no need to jump right back into working...a couple days to rest first"   

Felicity looks out to sea. "Aye, we could really use more 'Ealehrs. Most o' the youngah 'ares seem t'think that war is glorious, an' the only way t'do anythin' o' value is t'be a Fightah or a Runnah. Don't realize th' 'Ealehrs are th'ones who literally keep us ogin'."   

Cera nods "Yes a healer"A small smile, "I...am glad to be home and dinner will be good"   

Zolomon nods, a quick look around and he can lead the way inside"Dinner is always good, any meal is good"   

Ciocan chuckes a little and goes to follow his hares inside.   

Felicity smiles wryly. "The food 'ere will navah be as good as at Redwall. I'll fight y'ovah that, wot!" She also heads inside, quietly hoping for seafood soup...   

Cera smiles "Redwall food is good"She is in a good mood, she is home and was indeed welcomed home. She looks around as they enter the montain, it had been much to long since she has been here.   

Zolomon grins " grew up around Redwall, tis awsome thar...and yeah here too course, me best buddy lives in Mossflower in fact...hmmms wonder how he is"   

Ciocan says, "I am sure all is well in Mossflower. I will likely get a report soon as Ewan is fairly good at sending one before Autumn is over"
   
Felicity scowls again. "I'll be right back." She heads off to the Infirmary, then returns with a wet cloth she's holding to her bruise. "That 'are will be a good slingah once 'e figures out 'ow to aim straight," she mutters as she rejoins the little group.   

Cera finds a quiet place to sit, after getting some food of course and something to drink.   

Zolomon smiles, he gets some buns. pie,salad, and some soup and a mug of ale before sitting down.   

Ciocan smiles, he just gets a plate of 2-3 items and a couple slices of pie on another plate, a recruit offers to carry him something to drink as he excuses himself "I need to speak with the recorder so I will see you later"   

Felicity gets some salad, soup, pie, rolls, and tea. After stopping and chatting with a Dibbun Caretaker, she joins Zolomon and Cera. Sitting down, she takes her rag off her bruise and starts digging into her dinner.   

Cera watxches the Badger Lord head off and sighs, she has been quiet and avoiding most beasts as she sits at the end of a table, a couple whsper about her, maybe curious as to who she is.
   
Zolomon smiles "Tis great huh Fel...a hare returning after being missing...tis great news and we needed good news"   

Felicity glances up at Zolomon, then glances at Cera, swallows her mouthfull of food, and smiles. "Oh, aye. 'Tis always good when missin' beasts are found. I'm 'appy you're back, love," she adds, going to pat the other haremaid's paw before digging back into her substantial pile of food.   

Cera nods, a frown now though as she feels tears come and quickly wipes them away, "I..."She stands leaving half her food "I'm sorry..excuse me"She walks off and out of the dinning hall, its not clear where she is going though, she just left.   

Zolomon watchs her head out and frowns, a smalll sip of his ale as he speaks "Think she be ok?" He has decided to not go following the haremaid, he just stays where he is sitting.   

Felicity's ears droop as she watches the other haremaid leave. "I....I 'onestly don't know. This is probably pretty shockin', y'know? She was pretty badly 'urt, an' now she just got thrown back inta Mountain life with all th'othah 'ares starin' at 'er and whisperin'. I 'ope she'll be alright...."   

Zolomon frowns, he nods "Guess...time..the hares that survived went though a....lot I know..I mean I almost died me self, saved by a friend of mine..a monitor lizard and yeah he is good and a vegetarian"   

Felicity nods. "Aye, just give 'er time." She bursts out laughing at his statement about his lizard friend. "I'm....I'm sorry...I just wasn't expectin' that, is all. I didn't know they could live without meat! 'Ow interestin'...whot you lookin' at?" She glares at some gossipy hares, who quiet down and return back to their food.
   
Zolomon shrugs "His name is Ferro...me and Xandy saved his daughter like long time ago, tis before I joined de patrol...was part of de Mossflower Defenders"   

Felicity is listening! "Where does 'e live? Does 'e do anythin'? I imagine a vegetarian monitah lizahd would probably not be a Warrior, or fight at all, unless 'e absolutely 'as to."   

Zolomon says, "Ferravale...his daughter, adopted...lives in the abbey"   

Felicity nods, finishing up her food. "Well, 'tis good. Glad they both 'ave someplace to call 'ome. But why don't they live in th' same place?"
   
Zolomon chuckles "Likely cause Ferro cant be out when tis cold and he is like the blacksmith of Ferravale" He eats some of his food and smiles "His daughter is Krisha..yes a badger, tis pretty cool really"   

Felicity tilts her head as she pushes her tray away and places her wet rag back on her bruise. "Oh, really? Well, 'e must be a good chap if 'e adopted an orphaned badgah, wot! If we evah go on a patrol t' Mossflowah t'gethah, may'ap y'can introduce me t' 'im. 'E sounds like a fun chap."   

Zolomon smiles "Yeah...me and you on patrol together, it be nice....though dont see us goin' ta Mossflower anytime soon."   

Felicity shrugs, hiding her slight blush behind a sip of her tea. "Yeah, that'd.....that'd be, uh, nice," she says with a smile, silently cursing her awkwardness. "I 'ope we don't need t'go marchin' t'Redwall f'r anythin' any time soon."   

Zolomon nods "Yeah...that wouldnt be a good thing and...anyways"Yes change the subject as he smiles at the hare maid"So....Felicity...would you.."And he is interrupted as he frowns, a recruit is here"Ummm....was told your paper work is like....late"Zolomon sighs and looks at Felicity, he then walks off, he finished that paperwork it just needs turned in.

Felicity smiles, then watches him get taken away by a Recruit on a mission! Her smile morphs into a scowl, and then she puts her dishes away, smoothes down her ears, and goes to finish her blasted paperwork. At least hers is due tomorrow.....
