LOG:
Zolomon decided to check on his friend and sighs when he finds out....he is asleep, he is assured he is just alseep now and needs a lot of rest and so he heads to the common room and sits down pouting.
Keldorn walks in and sits by the hare "What is wrong my friend? You seem upset...privates being annoying or recruits maybe?"
Zolomon sighs "If only...no I was checking on Xandy..he woke up by the way and they gave him some water and brooth ....wot kind of food is that?"
Keldorn smiles "Sir Xander woke from his coma? This is good news and likely ....well one does need to take it easy , he is lucky to be alive...very much lucky in fact." He keeps the smile "I may have to see him tomorrow...though I am sure Ciocan is gonna have us head off soon, I gave the Long Patrol a ship, a large sailing one for sea travel"
Zolomon says, "Sounds fun....I would likely get sea sickness, I am unsure if will go yet...may stay and help Xandy"
Keldorn nods "Sounds nobel, not all can go after all some will stay here...and be good to have a high ranking hare here"
Zolomon says, "There is other higher ranks ya know....Q...and Major Pete, though he only is sentry mainly and teaches a class...maybe two.""
Keldorn nods "I remeber...the old hare that carried Donica right?" He sighs "If you are staying I...need a favor done."
Zolomon blinks "Favor..wot sort of favor would that be?"
Keldorn clears his throat "Take some privates with you thats under your command...1/2 day from the shore along the river moss is...what used ta be me boat before those....scums turned it into a slaver...evil...thing"He takes a deep breath "Burn the boat...its..its nothing but evil now"
Caleb would slowly meander in. Now that the mouse knew for sure Xander was going to be okay, he could rest easy. All he's been doing is training lately so he needed it anyways. Caleb would head into the common area and blink as he watched them. Slowly he'd wander over and nod to them, giving a wave.
Zolomon blinks again and thinks on this "I...would have to ask his Lordship on that , not like can just go off without notice but yeah I will...ask if can"He looks up when he sees Caleb and nods.
Keldorn nods "Thanks"He smiles at Caleb "Xander has woken from his coma, or was you already told of this Caleb?"
Caleb nods and writes something on his pad since he didn't feel like using paw language. "I was there when he woke up. Glad to know my father is okay now. It looks like Lord Ciocan really came through."
Zolomon looks at the writting and nods "Yeah...Xandy might take a while to recover though."
Keldorn says, "Sir Xander is likely to stay here while the rest of us go to save the dibbuns and I trust they will be found and rescued,then we return home to Mossflower and Redwall""
Zolomon nods in agreement and frowns some, he still was clearly worried but trying not to be so, a subject change "So...your old boat is..where now Keldorn?"
Caleb blinks and looks towards Keldorn, whimpering as he writes some more down. "Are you sure that Xander has to say? I... know he'd be safer here, along with Oz but... away from my father?"
Keldorn replies " a very short ways up the river moss ....as said just...burn it...I dont want it anymore" He looks at Caleb now and frowns "But...sir xander is in no way gonna be better to go on a long voyage"
Zolomon nods, he clears his throat "Xandy is..pretty weak, he just woke from a coma....I am unsure what all is...wrong with him, but he still looks horrible and the bandaged leg and arm"
Caleb blinks and looks away somewhat but sighs, shaking his head somewhat. "Yes... unfortnately that's true. Just like when I first came to the Abbey, Xander is damaged and needs to sit for a few days. Anyways... this ship... Keldorn, I think this might be what we need that paper for."
Keldorn tilts his head "Oh the...one ship, yes in Halyard..I speak of the..one the slavers stole."He smiles "Ciocan has the ship now that's in Halyard, I gave it to the Long patrol as a gift"
Zolomon says, "Xandy will be ok here...why were you thinking of staying 'ere Caleb till they...get the dibbuns back?"
"No... I do want to be here, of course. It was my dream to come to Salamandstron. But... something is just telling me I have to go. I know Xander can take care of himself. But... if Lord Ciocan says I should stay then I will. I have to follow the rules of the Badger Lord." Caleb only seems to be thinking things over, wanting to try and word what he wants to say right.
Keldorn looks at the note and hmmms "Maybe..ask him if you get the chance, a lot of hares I know are going, as well as me...Dora and the others are going on the ship of course as well"
Zolomon smiles "Well if you feel lead to go on the trip, if you do just be very careful lad..its likely a long sea voyage...and these slaveers seem..dangerous and if Xandy is staying here to recover, which is very likely, you guys wont have him ta help....course your have Ciocan and some of the best figher hares around to go"
Keldorn stands as he offers a smile "I am sure it will be figured out."He starts to head off and again looks at Zolomon "We can talk more of the small boat later"He then heads to get some rest.
"I trust Lord Ciocan, the hares and everyone else going with my life... I was also trained by my birth father and I know my way around a sword. So... I think if I do go then I'll be good to defend the dibbuns, at least." He nods towards Keldorn and looks back to Zolomon before writing some more down. "Can we head back to the infirmary to check on dad? I would appreciate it."
Zolomon nods as he stands"Lets head over then"
Xander is...yep still in infirm and laid on the cot still, he hasn't move but he is more awake now than ealier and has had some brooth and water, not yet eatting much as the healers want to see wha the can keep down.
Zolomon leads the way to the infirm and walks over to Xander "Hey...Xandy...ya have visitors."
Caleb would slowly come in and smiles somewhat as he watches his father. He slowly heads over and gives him a gentle hug before giving a wave.
Xander looks over when he hears Zolomon and nods an ok,visators are welcome in fact.He smiles a little.."Caleb....your ok,"He was a bit out of it ealier. He again looks at Zolomon, sort of an odd stare."your....Sa"He coughs "Sargeant?"
Zolomon folds his paws behind his back and nods "Bout....week ago."He grins "I would of likely sent a letter"He snorts "You have changes too ya know...a son...well sons now"
Caleb simply can't help it and just hugs to Xander again, holding to him and not letting go. However he does so that he can write for Xander instead of signing. "Yes... I'm okay. I'm glad to see you're okay as well, along with Oz. How do you feel?"
Xander reaches out a paw and frowns as it shakes, it shakes a lot so he lowers it with a frown, he seems concerned but nods to Caleb, for now not answering, thinking prehaps on words to say.
Zolomon smiels and decides he can always talk to his friend later, he slips off...besides he has to check on a couple privates and then head to bed for the day and fatehr and son likely need some time to just them.
Caleb would take a moment to just let go and write some more down. "How are you feeling, dad? Are you alright"
Xander finally does speak, he still sounds weak though "I'm...glad to be alive...I.."He seems unsure of saying anything but he is not keeping anything from his son.."I was..at the dark forest gates....I saw..Martin." He knows his leg is bandaged tightly from hip to knee, and a small bandage on his lower arm."Lot..of pain....and..can't move leg...."
"So... you don't think you can walk right again. And you were on the verge of death after all. I... wish I could have done more. Maybe I really should stay here with you and just protect you and Oz." Caleb seems defeated. This was a chance for him to really prove himself for the Abbey but he wants to make sure his father and brother stay safe.
Xander looks at him and reaches out his paw again, which shakes badly but he just grunts and reaches out to rest it on his son's shoulder gently.."You...Kurgan...could of...killed you. I..could of...l..lost you"He liekly is talking too much but it's fine."As fer...walking again...we...will see...I..love you son..and..proud of you."
Caleb seems to want to cry, whimpering now as he hasn't heard those words in such a long time. Losing his father was a heartbreaking moment and the fact that he could have been lost didn't cross his mind till just now. He hugs to Xander again and seems to struggle for a bit before trying to speak... It's obvious no words come out but the sounds he make come together to somewhat piece the words, "I love you too." to him.
Xander smiles, even if his paw he shakie he manages to hug him back. "I'll be ok...I'm alive, you can see if...you can sleep in here..tonight"He is tried and after a little while will fall asleep.
==The next morning===
Xander was up early, he glances at Caleb as it seemed the healers let him stay, he sighs softly thinking.
Zolomon makes his way inside, he smiles and walks over "Hey Xandy...checking on visators before start de day and I bring oatmeal and some milk, or water."
Xander shrugs as he isn't too talkative right now, he would roll onto his side but he can't.He lifts his paw and frowns, still super shaky it seems as he looks at the hare finally"Why?" He frowns, he sounds better this morning at least.
Zolomon sits the food and drink down and sits down by his friend "Why wot Xandy? You...ok...I can get a healer maybe."
Xander says, "I ...don't want...a healer." He shows the shaky paw and lays it down..."Thar...is pain but..also numbness....can't feel my right leg Zolomon and my whole right side...is numb, my right paw...shakes. Can't....sit up...and not hungry..much."He will drink the water, with help of course."I just....don't know"
Zolomon frowns, he will help him drink water but also help him take least a few bits of oatmeal"Your recover Xandy, ya will trust me just gonna take some bally well time."
Xander will eat maybe 3 bits of oatmeal and thats it,but drink all the water.He clears his throat and coughs"I...can't help them...can't go on ship" And he would of if he was able, even if a great storm came or he got seasick,but he is stuck recovering for who knows how long.."Where is....my blade?"
Zolomon hmmms "Likely safe in either Lord Ciocan's room or the forge...why?"
Xander nods "Just...wanted ta know..."He closes his good eye " I....am not gonna need it anymore"
Zolomon looks worried "Course ya will Xandy, your be right as rain....well soon or maybe not soon but your recover wot"
Xander looks at his friend, a friend he has know almost all his life"I...know...but..."He tries to find the words "I am...laying aside my warrior days. Martin even said..." What was the words, he smiles as he does indeed remember "You choose your path, the weapon does not choose you"
Zolomon listens and eyes widen when Martin is mentioned, he then asks "So your....not gonna be a warrior?Wot bout de..Defenders?"
Xander speaks "They can still...defend just"He shrugs" I won't lead, not....as before anyways.The Mossflower Defenders are still around...though small and more a set of allies now but"He shrugs "Its around."
Zolomon nods, he smiles "Wot ever your decision is I support ya, your my friend, my best friend in the whole world."He grows quiet and then "When you were...brought here I though you were dead, you looked...dead.It looked like it was...too late and even the healers were worried when you didn't wake up the next morning and even Ciocan I think was worried, he knows your awake now and who knows may pay ya a visit"
Xander nods "I need some sleep....ok Zolomon? I will be awake later ...and need to see others thoughts on...my decision of laying aside my blade, If I can I will still train Oz to use it when he is ready, it will be his one day after all" He then lays down and is soon back to sleep.He needs the sleep
Zolomon nods and quietly makes sure Xander is ok, the blaket tucked around him and pillow is ok and then slips off to start his day.
