LOG:

Benar is walking in from the outside carrying a stack of new plates, balancing them carefully the Abbot moves the terracotta colored, clay plates onto a side board next to a stack of three others. He smiles at the novice nearby, "That's the last of them, a whole new set of plates for Lacota, be sure to tell him they are all here."
   
Xander had been avoiding the abbot or maybe the abbot just avoided him, it was hard to tell really as he was coming into the kitchen to look for something, he frowns a little as of course he runs into an abbey beast having a bad day, "I was just wanting flour...ok fine"His voice is calm as he sighs and decides ok skip the flour idea,he can figure out something else that can work,"Hmmms maybe there is extra flour at the tavern..all the way back at....Ferravale"He frowns but shrugs, its fine he can check there later maybe, hearing a voice he turns to see the Abbot but doesn't move to leave the room, he stays there for now.   

Benar looks at Xander, then turns back to the Novice, "I will be back in about half an hour with the new drinking mugs for the dinner set, they are just baking in the kiln now," He turns toward the door, "Then we should have enough new crockery for the winter."
   
Xander frowns, he starts to walk away but stops and takes a chance the abbot will listen, even if he doesn't respond"Hello...Abbot Benar. I am glad your ok, or well better. I.."He clears his throat, "I'm sorry for wot happen, it was an accident, a very bad one...and you likely hate me or your..maybe afraid of me and I likely deserve that, I'm...sorry"His tone shows he truly is sorry and has been for a while."I..thought you were dead and I am glad your not and if you like I can just stay away from the abbey."He frowns he did promise to help with that Snow badger thing, his sort of surprise though for Krisha "I just need to do something first"   

Benar pauses in the door way and turns to look back at Xander, he stares up at the badger for a long moment before speaking, "I am not scared of you Xander, what I am is disappointed. You abandoned your wife, your child, you started acting irrationally but where not so far gone that you where not of sound mind. It took almost killing me to knock you out of the state you where in so yes I am disappointed you would not listen to those who love you and consider you a friend."
   
Xander frowns "I didn't..."He starts and seems to think more on his words and sighs, a couple tears fall "I..wasn't myself,I admit that and..I am sorry,I already told Krisha sorry. I..almost left Mossflower when I though you dead..please forgive me Benar. I..any advise I will listen, I have seeked some advice and I am trying to make up for it best I can."   

Benar folds his hands into the sleeves of his habit and stares up at the badger over the top of his glasses, "The charter of Redwall Abbey is full of forgiveness Xander, so I forgive you, in the name of the charter and the friendship we shared all these seasons. It will take longer for me to not be disappointed in you, I expect to see you stick at that help you are being offered by the healers."   

Xander nods, "I...I will and thank you Benar"He goes to gently hug the Abbot but seems unsure of weather it's a good idea yet or not. "I don't plan to wander off either,no worries on that.I also want to help Krisha have less worry, help out when the abbey has the get ready for the Snow Badger, I even got Ewan and Zeldove to help and they are hares so it sort of makes it more..fun"   

Benar steps back away from the intended hug, clearly not comfortable with that just yet, "Well the Snow badger festival is one of the Abbey's finest and oldest traditions, it would not be the abbey if we did not have a badger telling the story. So i am glad you are helping
out with it."   

Xander frowns a little at no hug but it's ok, he understands as he nods"And I know the story, heard Uncle Zee and Uncle Oz always....tell it"He frowns again thinking back on it, "I...miss them..."He manages to not cry, there will always be memories.He manages a small smile"And...cookies but Lacota can handle the cookies, I would..likely burn them,I have made cookies before but he is a lot better at it"
   
Benar asks, "Milk and Cookies is traditional, so are you telling the story or Krisha?" He frowns, "It should probably be the Badgermother telling the story, but I will bow to what she decides on the evening."

Xander says, "I..planed to, I didn't ask yet as she seemed a little stressed and busy and I know that's mainly my fault since she is doing some of your duties as well."
   
Benar says, "Well I am mostly back on my feet now and taking back over my duties so hopefully she will be less stressed and can focus on it," he taps his chin, "Perhaps you should tel the story together, each of you taking parts and characters in the tale to do a bit at a time"
   
Xander smiles "I...like the idea" He has been smiling more lately "I can ask her."   

Benar says, "Well then that sounds like a nice plan and I am sure she would appreciate the help"
   
Xander smiles "Yeah....thank you Benar and...I promise to if needed seek help for wot ever and..accept any help as well"   

Benar slips out for the time being and heads outside with a thick cloak.

Krisha had taken a day off to rest some, it seemed to help her some as she was better able to stop two dibbuns from fighting over a book, lucky the book didn't tear apart.   

Cota can be heard in the hall, and once again the mouse PJ is with him, a season older than Cota and today being extra annoying"Your just a cry baby, so whats in the backpack that's so so important." He is also a little taller so can hold things above his head. "Give it back!" The two have a tug of war with the pack and it tears open and out falls a couple drawings that Cota has, some sort of blue pebble and a scarf.
   
Krisha was just exiting the kitchen with a mug of something and sighs,"Wot now"She mutters and goes to see what is going on before something breaks in the kitchen.   

Benar walks in carrying a large tray of mugs, the clay shines and are still slightly warm, the Abbot moves to place them on a table next to a whole stack of other new mugs and plates, he nods to Krisha, "Good day Mother and... what s going on over there?"   

Cota gasps as he gathers his things and then goes to punch the other mouse in the shoulder, this in turn causes PJ to of course fight back as they roll onto the floor and bump into a chair and knock it over, nothing was on the chair thank goodness but they still seem to go out it and more so when one of the pictures rips in two and Cota screams , but he isn't the one that ends up punching anyone, PJ does as Cota sniffs and kicks PJ in the side.Yeah they are such good friends, not.   

Krisha sets the mug down and marches over, grabbing each by the back of the shirt and lifts them up and looks to each of them, a deep breath and she exhales as she doesn't need this right now, she speaks not too happy"I don't care...who started it, it's over now and there will be explaining starting now" She manages to stay calm for now.She hears Benar but for now she is focused on the two fighting teens.
   
Benar stares across the table and adopts "Displeased Abbot stance No.4" hands folded into his sleeves, peering over his glasses, a frown, directed at both teenagers, Krisha may be dealing with them but he is here and he knows just how to appear to disapprove of something, seeming to stare straight through them both and see every little thing they have gotten up to they shouldn't.   

Cota sort of kicks out and then just frowns "He riped the only picture I had of..of mom" He frowns.PJ rolls his eyes "And he is just a cry baby that no one likes..even ya dad left the abbey but you stayed" Cota looks ready to try and punch the other mouse back but just frowns,he looks up at the badger and then the floor "Sorry Mother Krisha.."PJ though seems to not be sorry though as he folds his arms over his chest and hmmphs.   

Krisha listens as she looks between them both"There are no reasons to fight in the abbey and yes you two were fighting.You were interested in being a novice i though Cota amd ain't you already a novice PJ."She will make them sit in a chair each, chairs not next to one another just in case of trouble.
   
Benar walks around the table so they can both see him and shakes his head, "I must admit I am dissapointed, fighting in the Abbey... from beasts meant to be upholding the abbey charter... I am very disappointed you both... I however will leave your punishment to Mother Krisha."   

The two look like they will start fighting again and then look away from each other. Cota frowns as he is more willing to stop"I..don't know if I want to be novice or not,maybe I can train to be a warrior."This gets a laugh from PJ "A weakling as a warrior, what a joke"   

Krisha snorts,"There is no warrior training here and warriors don't start fights in the abbey."She shakes her head and lets Benar speak before she speaks again looking between them "I think they need help in the kitchens for the next week, washing and drying dishes. " She looks at them and speaks more "A novicce doesn't start fights,they try to get along with one another,they help one another."
   
Benar says, "As you say Mother Krisha, peeling vegetables and helping bake for the Snow Badger night which I think neither of them should be attending now."

Cota frowns, Pj also frowns at this and then hmmphs "Don't believe in the stupid badger anyways." Cota makes a fist but then relaxes it "He isn't stupid and this is your fault" .."No tis yours!" and it goes back and forth a couple times before they stop .A glare at each other and then looking at the floor.Silent now.
   
Krisha nods, she feels the urge to yell but then the agrueing stops, "I agree with Benar..your help and then go upstairs .I will find someone to sit up there and make sure you don't try and sneak back down."She looks at the turned over chair,and around the kitchen "Also, clean up the mess you tow made and we can let the friar know he has help to cut some vegetables and bake for the event."She looks between them "Is that understood?"   

Benar says, "Well you seem to have this in hand Krisha, I will leave you too it," he looks at them both and turns to head for the stairs, "Maybe when they are done with their chores you can send them both to talk to me sometime Krisha... when you think they are ready."
   
Cota frowns "Understood" Pj finally nods as well "Understood...."He seems a lot less thrilled with the idea of extra chores and having to do more thimgs. They both frown at the idea of talking to the Abbot, that's like the last place one wants to go if in trouble.
   
Krisha nods "Yes when they are ready to talk"Seems she won't let them get by without that chat with the abbot later on, She goes to sit down in the chair in the great hall, maybe she got up too early but things still need done.   

Cota stays and PJ just snorts and starts to walk away before he is stopped by another order beast and gets to peeling some vegetables for dinner. Cota starts to silently cry,
   
Krisha kneels down in front of Cota, "Cota...are you alright? I am sorry to seem harsh but no fighting in the abbey and I don't care what started it or whom. I also do not know on what you should do novice or warrior but a true warrior is Honorable and listens to rules in places"   

Cota suddenly tightly hugs the badger and starts sobbing "PJ said dad abandoned me, did he? Does he not love me anymore? and why did mom have to die, why wasn't she more careful on the road..why!"
   
Krisha frowns and wraps the mouse in a hug, she sighs "No he didn't not abandon you...he was ..."She sighs she isn't sure "Caleb found it hard to stay but he left you in the care of Friar Lacota, Dorarose and Angela, you even have an Uncle too that's around and they all care very much for you."She sighs "Maybe I can save you a mug of milk and a couple cookies, I can have Lacota put them aside for you, two of the best ones "   

Cota sobs more and calms down, he sniffs "O...ok Mother Krisha and I am sorry for fighting with PJ, he..he doesn't like me much at all"   
Krisha is good at comforting beasts as she nods   

Krisha says, "Well, we can figure it out, but your not alone and you can come to me or Benar, as for any possible warrior training that is up to Lacota and Dorarose mainly,and it would be outside the abbey ,close by."

Cota smiles at the idea of possible training and nods.Another quick hug and he is off to help with those chores mentioned.

Krisha sighs and then heads off to check on the other dibbuns, they should be out of math class now.
