Nest On The Crater-LP LOG

WHO:

Zolomon- Sargent, Runner,Archer in LP

Felicity-Runner, Sargeant, in LP

Rufus- Sea Gull, Fighterand messenger bird

LOG:

Zolomon walks out onto the crater and glances around, back and forth and sighs as he sees....nothing, but then if he decides to wait he would likely miss something in the distance, this is so boring, more boring than paperwork.   

Rufus has chosen the perfect place for a nest, a small area of rock where it stays dry and keeps the rainwater away,but also pools a little rain water right back where he has a nest now. The perfect way to be by his new family as he has chosen to call them.   

Zolomon sees movement and lays a paw on his longbow, till he sees its Rufus and calms down.He chuckles and walks over"Wot is all this Rufus?"   

Rufus tilts his head and then nods "Tis nest...tis home, Rufus home now."He has a collection of straw,weeds, some sort of grey cloth, feathers and a couple shiny bits of...well something in this nest he is making,looks cozy for a seagull."Like new home, new family."   

Zolomon starts to speak but he did sort of say the gul could even make a nest here, ok he didnt think he would but too late now to correct it and the gull seems so happy.He smiles as he sits nearby"Well it is safe way up here, unlike the beach"   
Rufus nods "Ya ya ...like new homenest" He fixes a couple loose bits of straw and looks at the hare "Rufus home herenow ya with bunnies and bunny lord friend"

Zolomon has given up on correcting the bird and just smiles "Yes we are friends and I am glad and I see no...problem with it"   

Felicity has had a rough couple of days training the Recruits. Whisowsky has gotten worse, and not better, since the different units have been merged and rearranged. Right now, the haremaid just wants to relax. So she comes up to the crater...only to discover it's now someone's home! "Oh....'llo, thah," the Sergeant says, waving and smiling vaguely. She had heard rumours about the bird, she just hadn't met him yet. She looks exhausted.   

Rufus has part of the crater as a home anywhere, the hares are free to come and go as they wish. He tilts his head "Hallo..bunny...tis another bunny,is freind?" He perns a wing and steps closer looking at her.   

Zolomon waves at Felicity, he is in normal clothing right now as he "Not to worry Fel...he's a friend, he won't harm anyone...well maybe fish"   

The Runner looks a little apprehensive, but she allows the bird to get closer. "Um, m'name's Felicity, an' we're 'ares, not bunnies. An', sure, I'll be y'friend if y'll be mine, wot! No problems bein' friends wi' bihrds." She smiles and goes to stroke his neck, hoping that's alright.   
Rufus watches the hare closely, "Is nice bunny....bunny lord tis nice as well, plenty good fellow"   

Zolomon chuckles a little as he grins"Ya hear de news Fel? I got promoted" He has told maybe a couple so far, he also been volenterring for watch and sentry duty lately.   

Felicity is being as about as non-threatening as she can be. "Um, yeah, most o' us are pretty nice. Although some won't be if y'call 'em a bunny." She smiles at her fellow hare. "Oh, really? Congratulations, Zolomon! 'Ow excitin'! Oh, I've been meanin' t'ask 'ow y'secret mission went. Y'don't 'ave t'give me details, I just want t'follow up wi' you an' make sure it went well, is all."   

Rufus asks, "What promotion? "He is curious of this new word"Is...what?"   

Zolomon nods, he hmmms and decides to just ait...even he is unsure of whAT the mission totally was.He stands up "Yeah...swamps,snakes,toads...not fun, not mention strang rocks and ..oak trees"   
   
Felicity blinks. "Oh....well, glad y'made it back. I say, 'ow did Private Robeht do? 'E seems like 'e 'as 'is 'ead on straight." She glances at the bird and smiles. "Oh, 'tis just a thing we do. Zolomon now 'as more responsibility and authority in our military than 'e did a little while ago, is all."
   
Rufus nods, he lowers his head some at the mention of the other hare, he has a feeling who it is and looks at Zolomon , his head slightly tilted.
   
Zolomon loses his smile now and sighs, he looks at his footpaws and back up to her "He's...he's dead. But yes he was brave and did very well ...before the 3 monitors showed up right when we started to head...back home"He glaces at Rufus and back to Felicity "I likely be dead too if Rufus didnt help in the fight."   

Felicity's smile fades, too. "Oh....oh m'goodness, I'm so sorry." She looks between both of them. "O' course 'e was brave. I'm sorry 'e died undah y'command, Zolomon. 'Twasn't y'fault, y'know that, right? An' thank you f'r 'elpin' m'friend," she adds, turning to the bird.   
Rufus nods, he then decides to go find dinner"I need fishes....no need..."He needs the good food the ..bunnies have! So he heads inside"Find better than fishes...yes Rufus will"   

Zolomon sighs as the bird heads inside and sits down on a sort of..bench slowly and folds his paws into his lap. He is oddly quiet before he speaks "Supposedly we may get visators....no blooming clue whom or when or why and "He frowns, as he stops, maybe worried...yes he is worried on something else.   

Felicity waves to the bird. "Nice t'meet ya, Rufus!" She then turns back to her friend and listens as he just talks about the things. She goes to sit beside him, quiet for a few minutes. "Well, we c'n face it when they get 'ere. I'm sure 'twill all wohk out in th'end." She looks at him in concern. "Are y'alright, thah?"   

Zolomon nods "I..suppose."He is unsure and manages a small smile, then frowns "Just...Private Robert....should of been at me side when we got back, I know he had no family but tis still...upsetting"   

Felicity nods and goes to rest a paw on his arm. "Aye, 'tis. Really, truly 'tis. Losin' a beast undah y'command....'tis 1 o' th'worst feelin's I know. I always feel responsible f'r 'em, an' f'r 'em dyin'." She pauses, then tries to make eye contact. "But 'twasn't y'fault, an' I believe thah was nothin' y'could've done differently. Don't punish y'self f'r somethin' that's th'fault o'th'foebeast. I doubt Robaht blames you. I'm sure 'e'd want y't'forgive y'self."   

Zolomon nods, he sighs "Least he..wasnt alone when he died, I was beside him...his wounds were too...bad to help him"   

Felicity nods. "Aye, an' tha' was th'best thing y'coulda done f'r 'im." She looks up at the sky, then stands and holds out a paw to him. "C'mon. 'Tis dinnah time. We'd best get down thah while there's still food left. I wanna see if a seagull is as good as an 'are when it comes t'chowin' down, anyway...." She'll lead him inside when he's ready to go, staying with him until dinner is done. Then she has to go get her sister....

Zolomon stands and heads on down to the dinning hall quietly, he then grins "Rufus did jolly well say he liked our food better than raw fish and crabs...then a lot be better that.."He makes a face "Raw fish wot!" He shall eat dinner and then go to bed!
