LOG:

Krisha was doing her best to get the dibbuns to breakfast and keeping them in line, "Ok calm down...and please sit" They all sit quietly as her and Sister Anna get breakfast rolls and some fruit, a mug of milk each as well and once done sit down.Krisha had not gotten anything just yet, just some sort of herbal tea she slowly siped for now.

Xander had not sleep well so he was up extra early, seeing Krisha he managed a smile and walked over"Hey..Krisha, you sleep well?"

Krisha shrugs "I..suppose I did."She glances at the dibbuns, ok so far behaving themselves, back to Xander"Why ya ask dear, seems you're the one whom needs sleep"

Xander shrugs "You seemed tried and yeah, I sleep a couple hours. Thinking on wot happen with Ewan, it's just...sudden is all and just the past few weeks"

Krisha says, "Yeah lots happen but some good along with the bad. Life isn't always simple..."She frowns as she stops speaking and then seems able to speak again"But I am sure things will work out and be fine""

Xander sounds concerned "You ok love? You seem fairly tried, I could..watch the dibbuns a couple hours maybe and you get some more rest"

Krisha chuckles "Watch the dibbuns....it involves a lot and I am just tried and..nothing wants to agree with me.."And she quickly goes to the side door leading to the breezeway between the kitchen and great hall, yep tea didn't stay down as she coughs and walks back in sitting down slowly with a frown.

Xander frowns as he walks over to help Krisha sit down "Your not ok, are you ill?"He feels her forehead, he has learned a small amount of healing,not much but enough to know when another might need a healer or not.

Krisha waves him away "I'm ok Xander, just tea didn't agree with me is all, not ill ok. Likely just a slight case of stress or maybe got to use to coffee instead of tea"

Xander says, "But..you.."He sighs and just decides to try and not worry"I just worry ok...that's all, do you need anything?"

Krisha says, "That's what I love about you, you care a lot for others, sometimes you worry too much but you care and that's a good thing dear.I am fine, really just been busy but the Abbot is better so less to do now, so that's good"

Xander nods "Yeah..I sometimes wonder if I should stay a warrior or not at times, other times I think I should, just to be there and protect those I care for..friends and family,your my only family now Krisha so It makes me worry more I suppose

Krisha says, "I know and I don't plan to go anywhere, gonna stay in the abbey unless its to go somewhere with you, besides its way too cold to do much really"

Xander says, "Yeah weather is just..cold. I will make sure Mack and Zeldove know to take an extra cloak, maybe a blanket for the weather.Also mentioning the shrews as they may have a boat they can have to get to the western shore."

Krisha asks, "So they head out mu guess is this afternoon or in the morning? I do hope word is sent for when they get there, so you worry less"

Xander smiles "It's a good idea, likely Silverwing can tell me and I know Mack would head home afterwards"

Krisha says, "Well let's hope so , though if he stays till better weather try not to worry, may be for the best"

Xander says, "I will try not to worry, just so I know and I can find ways to stay in touch with them"

Krisha has ate a little lunch and then decided lunch was a bad idea, least for her it was as she sits in her chair, waiting for class to end as she left Sister Ginny in charge of it.A mug of water close by, and it was not helping much.

Zeldove walks inside and slumps to a sitting position by the wall, knees to her chest and again her headfur a bit everywhere right now.

Patch walks in and right away is moody "And of course he isn't here....walks off..leaves me to tend to oh get a free meal and drink...does not help the crowd of beasts, like good grief "

Krisha glares at the rat, she is not in the mood right now The hare gets a quick look as she frowns, the rat gets a better turn right back around look.

Zeldove looks up and blinks "You..feeling ok there or is the rat being annoying...I can throw him off a wall for y."She is serious as she adds "Please"

Patch rolls his eyes, "Oh be quiet..."He walks over to the badger "Where is stripy? Seen him...I need ta chat, like seriously"

Krisha sits up better, stands up and goes to grab Patch by the collar of his shirt "Leave..before I..before I give her the ok..."She groans, ok she feels worse and got up way too fast.She is moody and feels ill, not good.

Zeldove frowns and pouts, then tilts her head "Ummm...ya looking a little green thar Krisha....then again I look at the rat and would feel ill too"

Patch eks "Hey..hey let go, this is a new tunic why ya so grumpy lady..good grief, like go take a nap or sumthing."

Krisha manages half a snarl and then literally vomits on the rat, no warning what so ever and he is likely a mess now.She coughs and drops him with a frown. yep she is not feeling so well at all.

Zeldove blinks "Oh..ummm..well that's interesting"She can't help it, it's at the same time funny the rat seemed the target and grined "Gonna need a bath huh..Patch." She is concerned though "So you like..ok?" To the badger, not Patch.

Patch eyes go wide and he screams, he does his best to get loose and as he hits the floor he backs up to a chair and stared wide eyed at the badger.He takes a deep breath hand coughs "Acks!!! What the!..."

Krisha frowns "Sorry.."She is, sort of anyways as he did deserve a little "Don't know...lunch didn't agree with me"

Zeldove frowns "I can get a healer if you need one"She does get a wet cloth for her and will help her to a chair to sit.

Patch blinks "Hey..I need to clean up too and get her a healer..ok what did she eat I don't want NONE of it!"

Krisha allows the help and cleans off a little "T..thanks...and Patch..go away not in the...the mood"
Zeldove nods "Ya heard her, go away Patch..sides Xander is somewhere in the abbey, go look for him...but maybe after a serious bath"

Patch pouts and then just sighs, "FINE!" And beasts stay a bit clear of the rat, and for good reason as he will go get a bath and be back as soon as he can.

Krisha shakes her head, "He is just...extra annoying today...how are you Zeldove?I..heard about..Ewan."

Zeldove gets some water and offers it to the badger , a frown "I..I will be ok, I suppose...he did help save the squirrels and likely me...then I was the one to end the fox with an arrow, stupid fox"

Krisha sighs, "The fox is..gone so that's good"A small sip of water as she leaned back in her chair, still not feeling all that great right now.

Zeldove says, "Yeah..suppose that's good, I mean of course it is..you sure you don't need like a healer or something?"

Patch comes back in a borrowed old robe, sort of a light grey in color "She needs sumthing alright...and don't worry not goin' near ya either...neither of ya"

Krisha just stays in her chair , sips water "Wot do you want Patch? Say what it is and like..leave or something"

Zeldove folds her arms over her chest to listen to the rat, watching him closely as she really doesn't like him much"If it's to tag along with me, answer is nope"

Patch rolls his eyes "I was looking for Stripy..Xander, ok..ya happy, maybe look another reason now too, but the tavern needs like some more supplies now, out of a couple things..gee wonder why..luckily nothing too major and today is back to normal with that Mack and a few others in charge of the tavern."

Krisha shrugs "What ever and I am fine, he is likely resting or on his way to Ferravale,I don't know"

Zeldove says, "So if everything is basically ok...why stick around, hmmmm?""

Patch rolls his eyes "Hares are rude..."He then exits, the long way around and gets to the road and heads on down it.

Krisha says, "Least he left. Patch is just as said extra annoying today"

Zeldove nods in agreement "He is yes, how is he even still around, I mean he is so annoying ya think he be like...not around or something"

Xander speaks as he rounds a corner "I have no clue, luck?" He states with a chuckle, seeing Zeldove he nods and nods to Krosha as he walks over "So wot did Patch do now?"

Cota slips in quietly and stays by the doorway as the others talk"Who is Patch?" He may of seen him before but if he did, it's been forgotten.

Krisha manages a smile "Patch was looking for you dear, not sure why.Think he went back to Ferravale" She sips the water she has and frowns "Water is not making me feel all that better" She sits the mug down.

Zeldove waves "Ya missed it, Patch had ta leave cause she threw up on him, funny in a way and not funny at de same time but it DID make him leave faster"

Xander frowns "Your..ill? Did Nardo mess up on tea again? Maybe no more tea from him and a strict talk is in order"

Cota frowns, and a voice..it's Nardo "I will let you know I have served no one tea." He doesn't even like tea that much"So it wasn't me..bad soup maybe?"

Krisha says, "I am fine dear, I feel better than earlier, might of been too much spice in the hot root stew"

Zeldove asks, "I say relax and hot root? Gross who would want to eat that stuff..I mean mild maybe but not super hot"

Xander frowns but sits next to Krisha still "Are you sure your ok? Getting ill is not a good thing and you said you didn't sleep well last night"

Cota says, "I could get Nanaa or Gorvenalus.."Nardo hmmphs and turns to walk back to the infirm, mutting about book work or something as the mouse shrugs

Krisha says, "As I said I will be ok and feel better, it's likely just something that disagreed with me since not eaten much today and hot root is spicy but was craving it some reason"

Zeldove says, "Odd thing ta crave but hey I once only wanted to eat apples, I liked them and now I don't..so odd"

Xander asks, "You usually don't like spicy food, why would you crave spicy food for?"

Cota finds a chair and sits down "Something new and she...likes it maybe?"He shrugs and likely is not much help.

Krisha hmmms softly"I..don't..sort of ate a couple bowls at lunch and was fine till later, maybe that's why got ill, not used to it "She yawns as she is tried still"I need more sleep too, that's likely stress"

Zeldove says, "too much stress around"Her ears droop "And other stuff...which reminds me in the morning I head off sur..so hope de eagle is around,I know meeting Mack in Ferravale""

Xander nods "Ok..sounds good Zeldove ..I can walk to ferravale with you and the rest of the way will be Silverwing and Mack"

Cota tilts his head "Where is she going? Why so worried, is it cause of all the snow?"

Krisha listens as they talk and leans back in her chair with a frown, "Wouldn't mind snow right now, might step outside a moment but will be back inside in a few" Ok just slowly stand, last time she stood it didn't end well, for another beast anyways.

Zeldove just watches her stand "That wise ta do...or least get a cloak if getting fresh air"

Xander answers cota "I..worry fer my friends and Zeldove is going to go to the Western shore soon, join the Long Patrol it seems..she will be ok she will have a couple tag alongs..made sure of it"He frowns as he heads over to be closer to Krisha just in case he needs to be.

DoraRose comes down the staircase, scowling and muttering something about her grandmother. "Oh, hey, every beast." She smiles coming over and sitting next to Krisha, planting her heels on a footstool. "How are y'all?" She holds her arms out to Cota for a hug, her mood improving instantly as soon as she sees her friends and grandson.

Cota smiles and hugs Dorarose..."Hi Grandma, how are you?"

Krisha nods a semi hello as she slips to the breezeway to get some fresh air, it helps a little bit "I..could be better but i am ok right now just a little..blah, and tried"

Zeldove shrugs, "It's a ..so so day, not the best day but hey..there is a dead fox on the road, good redience...oh sorry..yeah its ok day..cold but hey it's winter time"

Xander frowns and seems more concerned with Krisha,"Maybe trying hot root stew was bad and knowing the otters they likely put WAY too much spice in it"He is still not sure what she ate it in the first place, and he is still not sure if he should see if Nardo made her tea again or not either."I can have someone else walk Zeldove to Ferravale, maybe Matilda can"

DoraRose smiles at her grandson. "Oh, I'll be alright. Had an argument with Nana, but it'll be fine, don't worry." She goes to run his back as she watches Krisha. A smile teases at the corners of her eyes and mouth, but instead of addressing that, she turns to the other badger. "I could take her. I've been meaning to visit Ferravale for a few weeks, and I have a few days off, too. Why is there a dead fox?" She figures there's probably a sensible explanation, so she waits to hear it.

Krisha frowns as she lets some cold air help her feel better, oddly enough it does seem to help "Been a day day guess...never try hotroot and still not sure why I ever wanted to try it" She looks a little pale but seems to be feeling better now slowly, she also seems tried.

Zeldove speaks calm and clear "I killed it, with an arrow...him and a couple weasels were after 3 squirrels...whom are safe, but the fox..k..killed"She looks away as tears form "So I killed the fox..and cut off his head later..strupid fox"

Xander frowns as he sighs "Zeldove...."He nods "Thanks Dorarose...that would be helpful and I can stay with Krisha, maybe help out so she gets some needed rest,she did mention not slept well last night"

DoraRose frowns slightly. "Ah, that fox. I'm sorry, Zeldove," she says gently, standing and going to put a paw on the hare's shoulder. "Ewan was a good beast. I'm....y'know, 'I'm sorry' seems so shallow, like beasts don't really mean it, but...." she kneels beside the hare's chair and tries to hold her paws. "My mate Leon was killed a few seasons ago. I know how much it hurts when the one you love the most dies. So believe me...I am so, so sorry."

Krisha makes her way back in and sits down slowly in a chair, for now she seems to be feeling a little better.She offers Xander a small smile"I' ok..sit down.." She glances at Dora and the rest but just stays quiet, she had heard yes but not much on details.

Zeldove frowns "He..he said he..was falling in love with me.tis not fair, the fox shouldn't of been able to stand and yet he did....that attack he did was wrong, he was behind him..."She wipes away threatening tears "I..wanna honor Ewan..join de..Long Patrol, I had thought of joining..maybe before but for sure now, I am sure they could use an archer like me"

Xander frowns , he then adds "You can meet Zolomon, friend of mine he is also an archer..darn good one as well. I might send a letter to him, not heard from him lately, guess he been busy"

DoraRose smiles sadly and nods. "Aye, 'tisn't fair, you're right. But I think, if you believe 'tis the right path for you, then honouring Ewan by joining the Patrol is a wonderful idea." She looks up at Xander. "I'm sure Zolomon's okay. Maybe he got promoted and is trying to figure out his new role at Salamandastron." She doesn't know that that's actually accurate.

Krisha chuckles "Zolomon..promoted? Probably not but I do remember..."She clears her throat "Remember him ..being a good archer excuse me please" And she speeds up the talking and is going to the breezeway quickly for a few moments.

Zeldove says, "He sounds neat...."She frowns as the badger heads outside "Well, that can't be good."She grins at something earlier "Patch was here earlier...now THAT was funny, cheered me up al ot seeing as he got in her way, hee hee" She lets them figure out what she means by that.She hmmms "Fellow archer...neat, maybe a friend.."She frowns "I am gonna miss Ewan, he..he was sort of like a big brother to me more than...well anything else""

Xander says, "A lot will miss EWan..."He frowns and starts to follow Krisha and frowns more, he glances at Dorarose "Maybe Angela could..check on her later, could she be like allergic to hot root maybe?""

DoraRose nods. "Aye, a lot will miss Ewan. It's okay to be sad. You have to let yourself feel sad and angry in order to move past it. He would want that for you." Raising an eyebrow at the haremaid's cryptic statement, the Warrior watches Krisha hurry out of the room. Grinning, she looks up at Xander. "Oh, aye, she should /definitely/ see Nana, though I doubt it's 'cause she's allergic to hot root."

Krisha coughs a little and sits down, yeah she is likely outside a little while and luckily no one else is around or getting her moody as she cleans up before coming back inside and sits slowly in a chair "Ok..may need rest of the day off to rest..spice is bad, but I oddly...wanted to try it"She sighs and leaned back.

Zeldove nods "I..suppose..I mean I did almost punch Patch but I liked it better what happen instead...hee"She sighs "Anyways I am gonna head off tomorrow, meet up with Silverwing and Mack...after breakfast"

Xander frowns "Then wot is wrong...wot Patch do now?"He shakes his head and decides to not even ask, but he is curious "Wot happen to him? Someone else punch him?"

DoraRose is smiling with her eyes and struggling to suppress the rest of her smile. Instead she focuses on the hare. "Okay, I've got to know. What happened to Patch? What did he do this time?" Yeah, THIS time.

Krisha sighs and feels safe enough to speak now "He was complaining bout something at the tavern, and told him to be quiet...then was about to escort him out and.."She shrugs, may as well say it "I threw up on him, his fault not mine..he wouldn't move, his own fault really."

Zeldove grins, sad mood a little less "Patch needed a bath, I wonder if he knows wot a blooming bath tis even, hee hee...like he couldn't find Xander on his own...nope...like we knew where ya were, we didn't....where is Patch now? Who knows....likely not here fer awhile, ha ha ha.."

Xander frowns "Krisha got ill...."Ok great now he is worried, but ok it is a little funny what happen to Patch though.He sighs as he looks at Krisha "You sure your ok? Maybe the hot root was too spicy? Maybe some ..bad tea?" He is concerned, "I can help you to your room...I could watch the dibbuns, not hard..right..for like one afternoon so you can rest"

DoraRose can't help it. She bursts out laughing, mostly at Patch but also secretly at the badgers because of what she thinks might be happening with them over there. She sits down on the floor and laughs really, really hard. After a few moments, she quiets down to giggles, wiping her eyes. "Oh my goodness....maybe Patch learned something, there." She glances at Xander. "I'm not sure that's a good idea, Xander. I mean.....have you even ever /met/ the DAB?"

Krisha glares at Xander and snorts, mutters something, ok she is grumpy now.She sighs "There is Sister Ginny and Sister Anna...and yeah the DAB...is...ummm....yeah"She can handle them a lot better than she used to, but yes they are usually trouble when she isn't around. "And I am fine xander. just nothing wants to agree with me much todayI am sure its nothing..so stop..asking..."She seems to want the point across to not ask.

Zeldove hummms a little "Sooo....a walk to Ferravale..then off to the western shores.I will let ya all know with a letter or de bird that I got thar ok"

Xander frowns at the glare and nods "And..wot...dibbuns are fun..they like me and what's the DAB?"Has he not heard of it?" Some....club they made in that tree house they have in the orchards?"

DoraRose goes to pat the hare on the paw, criss-crossing her legs, seemingly fine with sitting on the stone floor. "I'm sure you'll be okay. I'll take you to Ferravale. I wish you many blessings, and I hope you can visit us again someday." She looks up at Xander, eyebrow raised. "You seriously don't know about the DAB? They're only the Dibbuns Against Bedtime, worst behaved Dibbuns on the planet. They like to steal pies, tie up adults, get into pillow fights, instigate food fights....you know, all /that/ sort of stuff." She gives Krisha a motherly glare. "And maybe if you're not feeling well, perhaps you should take a day off and visit the Infirmary." She won't be shut down as easily as the Badger Mother's husband.

Krisha glaces at Dorarose "I don't need a whole day..off"She sighs after it seems losing the glare battle, she nods "Fine..I suppose Angela can make sure I am ok and a day rest will be good as its likely some left over stress also"

Zeldove says, "The DAB sounds..like fun"Yeah right, she nods a small smile "Thanks..Dorarose, company be nice and yeah who knows one day visit, in a right fancy Long Patrol uniform...who knows maybe this fellow archer is handsome too....is he single?" She decides to stand, and sighs a little, "I should get ready...and see ya in de morning"She smirks at the badger "And you have FUN with those dibbuns"

Xander blinks "Dibbuns are always fun and sweet. I mean I have seen them run but if you say stop,they usually do and..ha..tie up adults likely novices or order beast,I am a badger..a warrior at that..they can try and knock me down and fail"He grins"Sides...I can tell them some stories or maybe make cookies with them"

DoraRose waves to the hare as she leaves, then gives Xander a pitying look. "Oh, how ignorant he is! Okay, fine. You go babysit the Dibbuns, Krisha visits the Infirmary, I'll take Zeldove to Ferravale. Pretty sure I'm having the most relaxing time." She's not stupid, she fully understands how terrifying her grandmother can be.

Krisha frowns "Stories...well they might sit for that and making cookies could be fun, just make sure they don't burn a paw..ok and also, you make sure the cookies don't burn" She sighed and will make her way to the infirm..slowly, a nap might be a good idea after all.

Xander watches her head up and looks at the mouse "Walking to Ferravale more relaxing? I mean...and I only burnt cookies like once"He says quietly and folds his arms over his chest, "So the dibbuns get out of class like..how soon?" He forgot to ask.

DoraRose smiles. "Yeah. I mean, my grandmother is pretty gruff. I doubt Krisha talking to her will be fun for Krisha. And you'll get to have the DAB, so that won't be fun at all....for you, anyway." Her smile is a bit on the wicked side. "As for me, I still have my wandering spirit, the one that aided my seasons ago when I left home and ended up here." She doesn't add that a thirst for revenge upon her sister's murderer also helped. "I've been cooped up here in the Abbey for far too long. This is my home, but sometimes I need a break." She stands and stretches. "As for when class lets out....I would go upstairs and ask, 'cause I honestly have no idea."

Xander nods and he stands and heads upstairs and looks like just in time "Where is Mother Krisha?" He gets as he smiles "Resting...so ya got me that gonna be fun?"Fun who whom is left to be seen.

Meanwhile Krisha laid down on a cot in the infirm, ok it was soft enough and soon rest over took her and she fell asleep.
