Bad memories and painful wounds.... (Quade TP RP in RWA)
Why is Marek in Redwall?! Read this: http://forum.rwmuck.org/viewtopic.php?id=255 and then this: http://forum.rwmuck.org/viewtopic.php?id=259
CHARACTERS: Marek, a male stoat. LilyMoore, a female mouse; various birds; Malchezidek the beetle.
SCENE: Redwall Abbey Gatehouse.
LOG:
LilyMoore has been keeping watch over her stoat friend whenever she has been able to. Right now she is asleep in a chair by the sofa. Her paw is resting on the couch cushion by Marek's head. Her bird friends are outside the open window, chirruping and singing and keeping watch for any Abbey beasts who need to not know that the stoat is here. Malchezidek the beetle in trundling around on the floor, eating crumbs that the mousemaid left for him.
Marek has been unconscious for like a couple days, he has went in and out of consciousness the next couple days 'til he finally moves a paw slowly, his good one, to feel his bandaged forehead and then what ever he is laying on that's soft.
LilyMoore is still asleep, but Butterclaw the Sparra peeks in, then starts singing a song about how the "stoatworm" is waking up and that "Lilymouse friendworm" will be very, very happy. The other birds join in the song.
Marek goes to sit up and quickly decides it's a bad idea and gets a semi-good idea where he is "I am...in the abbey?"
LilyMoore stirs at the sound of his voice. "Uncle Emmy...Caleb...." Her eyes flutter open, and then she gasps with happiness. "You're awake!" she goes to very gently hug him. "Momma is keeping you 'prisoner'," she makes quotation marks with her fingers in the air with the word prisoner, "in here until Nana says that you're well enough to leave, and then she'll escort you out the main gate." She smiles. "But yeah, for now you're here in Redwall! And in my house, too! It's like a slumber party!"
Marek frowns, yeah that be the only way he be in the abbey, "I have loss some once gained trust...I remember seeing the abbey gates and then passing out, not knowing if they would leave me or help me."
LilyMoore shrugs and scoops Malchezidek off the floor. He seems okay with that. "Well, Momma's never trusted you, really, so don't feel too bad about that. And Nana is too busy working on her experiments to really say whether she trusts you or not." She places the beetle on the arm of the couch. "But you can earn back any trust you lost, Marek, especially now that Quade has revealed how evil he is...." her eyes get slightly unfocused, but she gives herself a shake and smiles. It's not quite her normal smile. "You can earn the trust back, and even more. Some beasts trust you. Don't worry." The birds have changed their song to something in birdspeak.
Marek says, "I...am unsure Lilymoore...did Mr. Benar and the others get back to the abbey safely?"
LilyMoore nods. "Yeah, they're okay, and safely back here. Xander got them back, I think, and some of the Ferravale guards helped." She goes to hold his paw. Looking at his stump, she says, "You and Daddy match now. I wish that hadn't happened...."
Marek looks to the stub and he growls low, he remembers part of the fight, "The...one cat...he was fighting me, where did he go, does he still live?"
LilyMoore frowns, her brow furrowing. "Oh, you mean Rowtag? I honestly don't know. I haven't heard of anything." She goes to grip his arm with a fierceness he's never seen from her before. "Please don't go chasing after him, Marek. Let my Momma and the others handle it. You've been hurt too badly, I don't think you would survive, an'...." she looks to be on the brink of tears. "An' Daddy was poisoned an' knocked down the stairs an' I don't think I could bear it if another bad thing happened to somebeast else I care about."
Marek nods as he, well tries to relax, "I need to get back..." Who is he kidding as he sighs, his tavern will have to wait.
LilyMoore shakes her head. "You need to rest. Your tavern will be okay. /You/ will be okay; just rest. You're safe here for now." She drags her chair around so it's easier for him to look at her. "Blisa sent a magpie messenger, and I sent a message back with it to let her know that you're here, so she's not expecting you or worried about you anymore."
"Beasts worry about...me?" Marek seems surprised at this idea, could some actually worry about him.
LilyMoore waves her paw as if it's not even a question. "Of course we do! Blisa is actually very caring, she just is sad and angry most of the time so it's hard to see. And I'm positive that Zaram is worried about you...and I have been, too. I was terrified that you were gonna die when I saw you stumbling in through the gate and Momma had to carry you in here." With some help, but she doesn't mention that right now. "And I'm sure there are other beasts in Ferravale and here who worry about you, but that's 3 for sure you can count on being concerned about you. Now just accept that and stop questioning it, or I'll not let you have dessert with your supper!" She has a mischievous grin on her face, and she winks to let him know that she's joking about the whole 'no dessert' part.
Marek manages a chuckle and tenses up in pain, he nods "Alright...but if others find me here...your need to explain why I am here"
LilyMoore waves a paw nonchalantly. "Oh, don't worry, we've already got that covered. Momma and Nana agreed that the Abbey charter says we need to take care of all injured beasts, so they brought you in to help you, but, since you're still partially banished from the Abbey, you're a 'prisoner'" again with the air quotes "in here until you can leave! Although Mom did seem hesitant to use the word 'prisoner', but she figured that's the only way to keep more.....unforgiving beasts from being too upset....I'm just calling you our guest." She scoots forward. "And Mom promised that, after this whole mess with Quade is over, I can come visit you in Ferravale, so.....she does trust you a little." She smiles. "Okay?"
Marek smiles faintly "You can come to my tavern, I could make scones perhaps"
LilyMoore grins. "Maybe I can help you! I like to bake." Her smile fades slightly as she gets that unfocused look again. She's like that for several minutes.
Marek lays a paw on hers slowly "You're...quiet, did something else happen?"
LilyMoore jumps slightly, focusing on the stoat suddenly. Relaxing, she squeezes his paw and stares at the rug on the floor. "No, I....it's just.....I keep having bad memories of being in that scary dungeon," she says quietly. "The guards were mean, and.....and I sometimes have bad dreams."
Marek says, "Then think on the good, not bad"
LilyMoore shrugs. "I try, but it's hard. Especially when my screaming wakes everyone else up." She sits on the floor and rests her head on the couch. "Now I think I know why Blisa draws and excersises so much." She sits like this for a long time until the stoat falls asleep.
