A couple spoofed  foxes

LOG:

Patch by the bridge counting some coins he recently got and knowing patch its hard to say from where or just how honest it was.   

Xander wanders into the sane area Patch is in and sits down on a fallen log by the river and stares at his reflection.He then snorts and holds in a urge to scream.   

Patch jumps, his dagger is out and then..he sees Xander and folds his arms over his chest before putting the dagger away "Gee..warn a beast will ya Stripy....wot ya doing isn't thar like a beast eating pike in the river?"   

Xander mutters "Sorry Patch....just a bad day..."He slaps the water and sighs letting himself fall backwards onto the ground, "Find out...what makes me..me....yeah not sure I wanna"   

Patch blinks as he walks closer and looks down at the badger "Say..wot now? I know who ya are...your Xander Winters and......ummm....your like ....clearly not feeling that great and your paw is hurt...ok I missed something 'ere"   

Xander sighs "Rope burn and the pike is dead thanks to the Gousim and Camp Willow otters, so no more pike"   

Patch nods as he sits down by the badger "Oh well....make sure that grump moody healer at de abbey checks on that....and dead pike is great."   

Xander nods as he looks at his paw "Yeah its dead...."He shrugs "Yeah I will let the abbey healers look at it, but they arnt....that grumpy"
   
Patch nods, he studies the badger "So if tis dead...why are you so...moody and whats this find out what makes
me...me...you...you.....thing?"   

Xander shrugs and is still laying on the ground sort of starring into nothing, he turns so he is facing the side and just starts crying now, one of those just let it out and cry sort of things.His paw bandaged still but getting mud on it now and the badger don't seem to care.   

DoraRose took her food to go and ate it as she followed the badger's tracks. It worked out beautifully until she reached the road. Then she just guessed that he /probably/ wouldn't be running away from home, so she headed South. Upon reaching the bridge, she has completely finished her food and cleaned off her paws. Resting one on her sword hilt, she stops and just looks at the scene in front of her. Blinking a couple of times, she then scowls at the rat. "Patch, what did you do this time? I thought you liked Xander!" Yeah, 'cause it's obviously the rat's fault.   

Patch backs away and puts his paws up"I did nothing....I didn't break him, he can 'ere already broken and muttering about finding...something or other and how this pike is dead fer which I am glad...dead pike are better than live pike"   

Xander doesn't respond to Dora right away, she could be a vermin out to kill him and he would just end up dead.He finally turns and looks at the two of them and frowns, he frowns more at the muddy bandaged paw, well least the bandage keeps the mud off.   

DoraRose sighs heavily. "Okay, Patch, I'm sorry. You sometimes do crazy things, I guess I just assume you always will. I shouldn't've.
Sorry." She kneels down beside the badger. "Xander....honey, what's wrong? You can tell me. What's wrong?"   

Patch does have a pouch of gold but it has nothing to do with the badger "Well...not de cause of...wot ever wrong with Stripy"   

Xander frowns "I'm....I keep getting..grumpy and I yelled at you. And my memory is still all Swiss cheesy and tis not fair...I remember hardly anything of the past 4-5 seasons expect some of the fight with that group of vermin and how.....and how I FAILED my own family....and I'm supposed to learn on how to be a better leader of a small group of beasts and not learning anything and Log -A-Log said like like out..w...whot makes you...you.....or me...me and I don't know if I want ...like....me lately I..."He takes a deep breath and relaxes a little "Not been...not had anger ...issues since..since Jedrick..."Oh he remembers Jedrick and not a good thing, he oddly still knows his fighting skills, maybe one of those you just like....know things.   

DoraRose sits criss-cross-applesauce beside the badger, surprisingly calm. "I'm not upset with you, Xander. You received a head injury, and then had a fever. It makes sense that parts of your brain were messed up. I don't think you're a failure. You're just alive, and nobeast alive is perfect." She goes to tug on his arm. "Please sit up. It's hurting my neck to be looking down at you like this."
   
Patch just stays off to the side, he would leave but then again its better he stays maybe " I heard of a fight...like 15 vermin de wildcat mentuoned it before he left the area...like again"   

Xander slowly sits up and lays his sore paw on his lap, he frowns and sighs "Your...not helping Patch and I know Vojin and Ferro was there mainy cause they told me , I also remember slicing off some...cats head but it assnt the vermin leader and she got away"His anger flared but he manages to calm again and looks at the bandaged paw, its mud soaked as he sighs "Rope burns....hurt but its nor as bad as could be." And its not too bad....it did take off skin but it didn't go deep into the palm of his paw.He got lucky, still it hurts and will need checked a lot.   

DoraRose nods, addressing the comment about his paw first. "Aye, that's actually not too bad at all. Hurts like crazy, but not too bad. If I had my haversack with me, I'd replace your bandages." Shifting slightly to find a more comfortable position, her face softens slightly.
"Yeah, that was kind of scary, huh? I'm glad you're better. 'Twasn't your fault she got away," the Gatekeeper adds, having noticed his anger. "You did the best you could, and that's what matters. I'm just glad you're pretty much okay."   

Patch looks in his pouch and shakes his head, then leans on a tree trunk and looks at the two beasts"Ya know...maybe get a fight or two in at de fighting pits...be fun"   

Xander shrugs as he frowns "Bad dream also last night or maybe....a memory.."He frowns at Patch "Fighting pits? Really?"   

DoraRose glares at the rat. "That is a /terrible/ idea. NO. /Looking/ for a fight is a bad idea, trust me, I did that for many, many seasons. It is not okay, and not the path of the Warrior." Shaking her head, she adds quietly, "I, too, am haunted by the memories of my past, of past fights and battle....of beasts I cared about dying and my not being able to save them. I fear it is one of the darker sides of being a Warrior: having to relive those thoughts forever."   

Patch says, "Wot....a badger fighting, that be so cool and lots of coins involved..weather ya won or not""   

Xander glares at the rat, the rat is not helping as he snorts and frowns as he looks back to Dorarose " But...I don't...want to remember certain things and clearly not...."He frowns and holds back tears "Someone dieing in my arms and me not be able to do anything "
   
DoraRose scowls darkly at the rat. "You're being literally the opposite of helpful, and if you don't hush, I'll give you a fight." Yeah, that's a warning, so he'd best shut up. Sighing again, she nods. "I don't think any of us want to remember these things, Xander. But I don't know of any way to make them go away, and believe me, I have tried. Not being able to save my baby sister....my husband....so many friends...but I'm not sure I necessarily want to forget those things. Because wouldn't that make me forget the beasts I love, too?"   

Patch frowns and just sits on a log..away from them, but looks over at them still and frowns a little.   

Xander shrugs "I..I don't...know."He frowns "I mean remembering when someone died...is bad and...it happen but I forgot and I had forgotten Uncle Oz died and then was told and I wasn't even there with him..Benar and Lacota was and I wasn't...I should of been at his side not off where ever I was and finding out later that day..wot kinda of family member am I...and I don't know why things are..making me moody and grumpy and.."He makes a fist and unmakes one as he frowns "I just..get moody and yeah and...I have avoided harming anyone but wot if I do?"   

DoraRose shakes her head. "Remembering their death isn't bad. Death is just bad. Being sad is not bad, though. It's a necessary part of life because we can not know what happiness looks like if we have not experienced anything else." She goes to gently hold his uninjured paw. "You can't keep on punishing yourself for what happened in the past, Xander. You have to forgive yourself. I punished myself for seasons, but some dear friends showed me that I must forgive myself in order to live and love well." She looks up as a bird flies over their heads. They're really in a dangerous spot right now, so she's staying alert for any attacks that may come. Just in case. "I trust you, Xander. I believe you would never hurt anyone intentionally, and you have the capability to control yourself enough to not hurt anyone when you're upset. I believe in you."   

Patch looks around "Hmmms...should we like...move?"   

Xander nods slowly as he is half alert and is usually fairly alert"It...hurts to..remember..things and know you didn't do other things maybe you could of..."He sniffs as chcukleing is suddenly heard, he has let her take his uninjured paw and looks up and starts to glare at the rat...wait its not the rat....he scans the area and sees a couple foxes and snorts."Leave..."He says...the foxes chuckle "The stripdog told us to leave, the stripe dog is rude..right Bob" The other fox nods "Yeah...then stripedogs be stupid anyways it free to walk around" The one word is not the best word to use right now.
   
DoraRose sighs. Because of course some random foxes would have to show up. Standing, she smiles and draws her sword. "I'm sorry, you must not have understood what my friend said. Please leave and spare us from a battle. 'Twould be unpleasant for all involved, don'tcha know."   

Patch looks at the foxes and frowns, "Yeah...like leave and stuff..go away or get stabed"He goes to get his..wait where is his dagger!He frowns.."Great" He mutters,   
The two foxes "Whats dis...a rat friends with a mouse and a ..stripedog" Gee they like that word as they look at Xander who is getting peeved "whats de matter...stripedog"And a long blade is drawn as the badger snorts and...right away is slicing and slashing at the two foxes who seemed ready, of course the badger gets a couple good slashes in, then one of the foxes does some jump in the air kick in the jaw sort of thing and Xander is slammed into the side of the stone bridge they are beside and groans as his shoulder is a little dislocated, the foxes laughs, well one ...the other is holding a seriously bleeding shoulder wound and is bleeding on their forehead too, the other fox has an injury on his side but its not deep.   

Patch was at first like yeah kick the fox..yeah in the gut oh yeah stab him..."Then Xander is...possiblely out of the fight..."Not good..not good!!"   

DoraRose rolls her eyes. Great. Just great. Grabbing some dirt, she tosses it at the face of the least injured fox, then swipes her sword up, then across, aiming to slice the fox open as he is (hopefully and temporarily) incapacitated.   

Xander groans in pain, semi coniuous and not too helpful right now, the one fox just laughs and then dirt is in his eyes as he tries to slice at the mouse, her blade makes a gash onto his chest as he tenses up in pain and falls onto his knees coughing up blood.The other one backs up and looks ready to fight, he looks at the creatures and studies a rat "A rat is friends with a mouse and badger..thats stupid..I should end your life for being foolish.."Xander slowly stands up, a little shaky now but willing to attack the foxes again.
   
DoraRose ducks the swings from the fox she just injured. Still silent, she leaps forward and engages with the chatty fox, trying to stab him in the chest after attempting to knee him in the groin! She's not in the mood to fight fair today. Maybe she's also having some anger issues today...   

Patch frowns "Umm..why not?" He has no weapons to fight so he dashs to a tree and climbs it as he peers down" Ya...ummm win win Dora..fight fight..I'm here for ya" Yeah he is hiding in a tree.He glaces at Xander and frowns "Oh...man...."
   
Xander stands, shakie as the two foxes, one about to pass out, fight Dora..Dora ends the life of one fox and one is still alive and grins aiming to stab the mouse after blocking one move. "Leave...her alone" The fox smirks as he turns his back on the mouse "Alright....sides always wanted to slay a stripedog.." One swing blocked. another....another kick as the badger cant fight well with a dislocated shoulder as the fox chuckles footpaw on his chest ,"This is fun...I will be feared for this...."Seems he forgot the mouse is behind him."Last..words?"   

DoraRose barely dodges the stab to her chest, still getting a wound that bleeds. As the next part of the fight unfolds, the Gatekeeper smiles grimly. Stepping forward, she goes to stab the remaining fox through! "Oh, yeah, you'll be feared. Every beast will fear for their lives when you're around, since you just got killed by a girl." She pulls her sword out and goes to behead him for good measure.   

Patch watches and frowns "NO no no...oh..."He jumps down and smirks "Ha ha...fox died"   

The fox grins "Goo----"He blinks there is a blade growing out of his chest and he sort of is shock, Xander closes his eyes and then opens them in time to see a fox head sort of fall to the forest floor and the rest of the fox sideways as he coughs a little and sits up slowly and yells out in pain when he tries to move his shoulder, he looks around and uses his good arm to stand..slowly and is clearly in pain..."Dora....you...ok..."He growls a little..pain is bad, "Can't move my arm..good..."He knows enough to get the blade with his good arm and slide in into its case and tenses up.."Hurts...."Great now he does need to see Angela, but its fine.   

Patch frowns and goes to stand beside them "Stripy..ya look like ..ya look horrible" He looks at Dorarose "Remind me ta NOT...to ever be your enemy...so to the abbey?"   

DoraRose cleans her sword and sheaths it, scowling. "Yeah, I'll make sure to remind you of that next time you're snarking off." She goes to grab the badger by his good arm. "Okay, there's no way I can carry you or support you, so we need to get to the Abbey as soon as possible and get your shoulder checked on. Come on." She tries to lead him south along the road.   

Xander nods, he can walk, its a shoulder injury after all.He keeps an eye on the road and lucky no one tries to attack them, but it is past dinner when they get back.   

Patch nods , he follows only cause he wants to see them get back ok, though once at the gates he backs off "Ok ummm...yeah seee ya later, your good to go inside.." And Patch is gone.   

DoraRose makes sure they get back safely. Once they're in the Infirmary, they discover that Angela is actually off duty and looking for the Gatekeeper at the moment. So the Warrior mouse, grabbing some bandages and herbs, wanders off to find her grandmother to get fixed up and to allay her worries. She'll check on the badger later.   

Well there is Gorvenalus as he frowns after its explained what happens and checks on Xander, a frown "What I will need done is...gonna seriously hurt" But he knows it needs done but he will need some help.   

Help is...well there is Matilda who nods and frowns,..."Ok.."So get a shoulder back in place..what fun as the beaver and hedgehog will work together, does give a warning first before the shoulder is moved and hopefully in place.   

Xander frowns, he already knows he will serious hate this and breaths in and out in a sort of mediation and then...he yells out in pain, shivers and a small whimper as he lays on the bed and shivers a little. Ok that seemed to hurt..worse.   

Maltilda frowns as she is excused and leaves Gorvenalus "I'm..sorry my friend.."He finds some willowbark and one other herb and mixes it in some water "Drink...and rest"He says quietly, he will also re bandage the paw.
   
Xander nods as he obeys and coughs a little, but the mixture will help lessen the pain a lot and help him sleep, he will sleep till morning now, maybe till almost lunch time.   

Gorvenalus sighs and sits down nearby, he did say he help in the infirm for the nightly shift. He finds a couple blankets and makes sure the badger stays warm. Then sits down in a chair, he will stay in the chair and maybe write in his log book only getting up to help if one walks into the infirm.
