The Week Has Only Begun-LP LOG

Who:

Zolomon- Corporal, Runner and Archer in the Long Patrol

Gregorian- Lt. Fighter and Blacksmith in the Long Patrol

Zeldove- Recruit, Archer in the Long Patrol

LOG:

Salamandastron: Recreation Room
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Salamandastron *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
The recreation room for the army of the Long Patrol. Here soldiers come to
relax after a hard day's work and the officers come for a game of cards or
a quick drink by the fire. The room is quite large, having to deal with a
lot of hares at one time. Along one wall there is a large worktop with
some cushioned stools lining one side of it. On the other side of the
worktop there stand many kegs and bottles, lined so that they can be
easily opened by someone standing on the inside of the bar but well out of
reach of the rowdy hares on the other side. There are a few woollen cloths
on the bar and mats in front of each stool. The next thing nearest to the
bar are the round tables, each with 4 chairs around and a lantern in the
middle of each one. There are a couple of slightly larger oval tables with
8 seats around, obviously for larger crowds. The other end of the room is
littered with armchairs, comfortable armchairs,  each pair with a small
table in between. The armchairs are near the fire, used to heat the room
and provide extra comfort for the relaxing soldiers.

Zolomon is sitting at a table sipping some ale, every so often he looks around and then goes back to his ale he is slowly drinking.

Gregorian is having one of those days when a break is required and with the weather looking wet and miserable outside the crater was not an option so the rec room it was! He heads straight for the bar to order before stopping to look around the relatively quiet room until he spots Zolomon "The tides of the paperwork parted for yah too?"

Zolomon nods "I got mine done, finally and it seems Zeldove is getting some training in, or at least she is...elsewhere than here"

Gregorian barks a quiet laugh as he picks up his drink and heads for the other hare "Is she workin' yah so hard that yah hopin' that already and watchin' ovah yah shouldah for her?"

Zolomon swirls his ale and tales a sip as he is quiet and then speaks "Well...sur..breaks are supposed to be enjoyable right? I its barely been a couple days into this...servant for a week thing"

Gregorian flops into a seat and takes a quick swig before he speaks again "I heard. Talk of the mountain again but this time it wasn't a draw. How's that goin'?"

Zolomon frowns,but he then chuckles "Zeldove is a darn good archer though, she broke one of me arrows and the last didn't go too much further, I mean..she is gonna fer sure be a great part of the Long Patrol, and she is stronger than she looks too. I mean I can practice more, in fact we are ta have some practice sessions together with longbow"

Gregorian snorts with a small smirk "Well I meant how is yah days of servitude goin'? See this sort of thing is wot yah get for braggin'!...Entertainment for the rest of us though"

Zolomon says, "Oh..ummm...not too bad so far, Got her breakfast couple times, carried some things fer her...not part of the servant fer a week but showed her around, probably a longer tour than would of been""

Gregorian rests back with a small relaxed sigh "Then yah lucky, there's bound tah be many around here that wouldn't be so easy on yah. I suppose it makes her first week or so in the place a little easiah tah adjust tah. She'll be bumped up out of recruit in no time"

Zolomon nods as he takes a long drink of ale"She is a pretty amazing archer, and I helped cheer her up..well a little also when she got a little sad"

Gregorian nods slowly as he's thinking "Hmm, well, difficult week for everyone...I daresay the contest helped perk the mountain up too. Nothin' like a little wager tah pass the aftahnoon"

Zeldove walks into the rec room and glaces around, finding the two talking she walks over with a grin "Hallo.....I say ok to sit down, oh and need a nice simple Ale thar....sur"She smiles at Zolomon sitting down beside him.

Zolomon nods, then Zeldove appears as he looks up and nods standing up.He takes a few moments before he returns and sits an ale down in front of her, sitting back down,least for now, "Thar ya go lass."He smiles at her.

Gregorian chuckles quietly as Zolomon's put to work "Yah break must be ovah already!" he gestures to a free chair before speaking to the recruit "Sit, keep him busy. It's funny for the rest of us"

Zeldove chuckles, "Well he is to do things for me, for a week...he has a few days left after all..."She keeps her smile "So..Z....you good at foot massages? Did a lot of walking today, also might need help carrying a backpack tomorrow, it made my back sore today, sore back is not fun ya know."

Zolomon tilts his head "Z?.."He blinks and sighs a little, "Sure...why not.."He smiled a little at the nick name, two can play this as he will rub her feet, "Anything else.."He chuckles "Zelly?" See he likes nicknames too"Carry de backpack, well ya see..I will have my own so, not sure on that request."

Gregorian shakes his head with another little chuckle "I take back wot I said about yah bein' lucky that she was goin' easy on yah. I get the feelin' she may have just been gettin' warmed up"

Zeldove snorts "Oh you can carry two backpacks, your strong and..so helpful"She grins at him, at the name she chuckles "Zelly.....thats cute..."A smile as she relaxes, a nice foot rub was a nice idea and she drinks a little of her ale"I like this week, it's nice."

Zolomon frowns, " Two backpacks, my poor back..your mean"He looks at her and...ok he can't glare, he actually smiles a little and then clears his throat" Only this week lass...after this...well not so helpful, and your need ta..get your own ale"

Gregorian gestures at Zolomon with his drink "Yah'll live for a day. Can't guarantee yah'll survive the week but a day at least" he glances at Zeldove "I can imagine why yah enjoyin' it. Yah only just got here and yah bein' waited on"

Zeldove chuckles"Yeah a nice handsome buck to wait on me hand and foot for a week, its nice."She smiles "And he is..pretty good at foot rubs, in fact..Z...you should do this a couple times each day for the rest of the week, it's nice and enjoyable"

Zolomon smiles a little more at the handsome part, he tilts his head and sighs at the couple times a day.."Fine fine, but remember...this week only don't expect this after this week..."He seems to think "Or least fer a..while anyways"

Gregorian snorts at the handsome part and sips from his drink as he watches the pair "Until yah make anothah bet at least" he mutters after Zolomon's last words.

Zeldove chuckles "I am guessing he does this..often?" She scoots back as it seems she lets him stop with the foot rub"Another ale sur"She grins at Zolomon, "Then I might go to bed early, and wake up early so..you can have me breakfast ready"

Zolomon rolls his eyes, he stands and goes to get another ale, but also one for him as he sits down "We..all get up early lass but yur learn that"He smirks a little.

Gregorian shrugs at Zeldove "Well there was the race against the ottahs and of course runnin' against Felicity. Neithah of them made him get their breakfast though, it was more a competition for braggin' rights"

Zeldove shrugs as she finishes her ale and stands"Well he gets me breakfast and the foot rub was nice too."She walks over and smiles at Zolomon "Don't worry your week won't be...too bad"A kiss on the cheek and she smiles and walks to the door "Remember...rice cakes and honey and some of those breakfast rolls" And she is..around the corner and gone.

Zolomon snorts as he leans back, the kiss makes him blush and he half listens as she walks away. laying a paw on his cheek he sort of sits there and then looks at the door, a small frown as she is into the hall way and he sits up a bit, thinking and sort of forgets Greg is still in the room.

Gregorian squints slightly at the kiss and Zolomon's paw. He nods a goodbye to Zeldove and then watches Zolomon, silent for now. Curiously watching the hare.

Zolomon looks up and blinks, oh yeah he is in the room and Greg is there as he sits up better "Oh..sorry sur..I was just....thinking is all."He sips his ale some more "Guess I will be glad when this week is..over, she is...bossy right?"

Gregorian's eyes narrow just a tiny bit more and he goes "Hmm" for a while that's all he says as he's thinking and watching Zolomon "She's somethin' else too it appears"

Zolomon tilts his head "Wot?...oh the..I no idea why she..kissed me on the cheek..I can..should...lecture her..."But he doesn't sound like he for sure will."She isnt..bossy I mean I did lose the archer contest..I mean you should have seen her Greg...like she went past the last target it was amazing, she is skilled! And we both were in Mossflower Defenders and we are both Archers..we both lost someone to vermin, we have so much in common, Zelly is so..."He smiles.

Gregorian still looks thoughtful, studying him "Well, I can't say I know her enough tah know if she does that tah everyone" he strokes his beard, thinking "Yah got yah similarities...This week will be interesting'"

Zolomon nods "I..suppose it will" He smiles a little" I mean after this week won't have to be so...helpful, though helpful is good"

Gregorian shakes his head at some thought and raises his drink again "Aftah this week yah can be exactly as helpful as yah choose tah be"

Zolomon nods"True..still gonna practice archery with her, I mean..can't let her stay better at distance after all, wot"He smiles,"But yeah, she is great with her archer skill, I wonder if she made her own bow...I should ask right?"

Gregorian nods slowly after a small pause "Yes, yah both could stand tah work togethah, perhaps get her tah help when tah trainin' the othah recruits. If her form and aim is as good and consistent as her distance...Perhaps with more trainin' yah'll be ready for a rematch"

Zolomon says, "A rematch, not that would be good, ya know in a few weeks maybe with de warmer weather"

Gregorian finishes off his drink and stiffly hauls himself back out of his seat "Just remembah that rematches are traditionally for highah stakes. Double or nothin', that sort of thing..." he chuckles "Don't go makin' bets yah not prepared tah keep tah" a related salute and he heads for the door "And keep it tah the friendly sort of competition"

Zolomon nods, he finishes his ale and then stands as he heads to the door after a short while, he will likely go to sleep soon, been a long day.
