Quiet Remembering-Redwall Log

Redwall  Log:

Oz-Papa Oz and Caretaker of the dibbuns
Krisa-Visitor
Xander-Leader of Mossflower Defenders

Oz was still a little moody after the whole dibbuns trashed the dibbun room thing, the dibbuns were extra quiet the past few days as well. The Badger Father had to break up a fight between two mouse dibbuns, and fighting over a pillow of all things. He sighed as one punishment of the messed up room few days ago  was to refeather the pillows they messed up. No desert for 2 weeks, they even helped to sweep the Great Hall one day, much to the happiness of first level novices. Now he just needed some time to himself so left Sister Ginny in charge while he took a half day off, he needed it.
   
Xander was walking down the steps from the infirmary speaking to someone new “Well, this is The Open Ground  And you can see a lot here, bell tower and…yeah a lot.” He seemed to be giving someone a tour of the abbey, or in his own words keeping someone out of the infirm a little while after a small breakdown.

Krisha stayed close to Xander, seemly not wishing to get close to any beast else as she seemed to think someone might possibly attack her any moment. She spotted the older badger and for the first time left Xander’s side till she was in front of him. Reaching out a paw to touch his face, study him and give a confused look at Xander.

Oz always keep his ears open, always on alert but he also knew his way around the abbey. Course beast came up to him at times but this was a little different as he stopped and arched an eyebrow stepping back a couple steps, “Xander…who is this?” He didn’t sound mad, or worried just curious.

Xander walks over ”Krisha…she well, it’s a long story and she is here a few days while her father tends to a couple things, and who her father is I can explain later I will just say she is adopted. “ He smiles “Krisha this is my Uncle Oz, he is the dibbun caretaker of the abbey, he is blind but he knows the abbey left and right, top and bottom and all over. He also remembers scents, voices and foot paws of all in the abbey.” He speaks once more to Oz “She is a badger..”

Krisha listens as she does hear, she hears very well she just doesn’t speak or least has yet to speak. She frowns a little but nods. She steps back a little.

Oz gives a yes I know it’s another badger look to Xander before speaking “Welcome to Redwall Abbey Krisha I hope your stay is nice and enjoyable. Seems Xander is giving you a look around the abbey, that is nice of him.”

Xander nods “Yeah she..sort of disliked waking in the infirm and guess not seeing her father or me, she seems calm around another badger and….ummm…she doesn’t speak, that’s another story for later. She was attacked by a small flock of ravens and even almost drowned but was helped and brought to the abbey to recover”

Krisha listened some and also looked around the room. She was calm for now. She then frowned and looked to the doorway and went to pull Xander towards the entry.

Oz nods “ Well I am sure she will be fine after a while.”

Xander nods “Yeah..anyways I was sort of wanting to” He seems unsure but says it “Visit Mom and Grandpa’s grave, you think that’s a bad idea with company?”

Oz tilts his head “ I do not know, we can go if you like thought of going myself and company is nice sometimes”

Krisha didn’t respond right away but she was listening and could see the graveyard as she walked to them and simply nodded that it was ok with her.

Xander then headed to the graveyard “My Uncle Zee is sadly in the Northlands, My Grandpa Zork is here he was a Blacksmith and a warrior, but he stepped down as a warrior and became a Brother in the order but he stayed the Blacksmith till he passed it down to another but she left. She was an otter named…ummm forgot the name.” He step over to another one “This..this is..m…mom” some tears fall now and he decides to not wipe them away.

Oz steps over and is quiet as Xander speaks, he pats Xander’s shoulder and gives him a hug before walking over to where Zork’s grave is to quietly say a few words.

Krisha  knows what a graveyard is, as she stays quiet. She watches Xander and then goes to gently wipe his tears away.

Xander blinks and is a little surprised as he had closed his eyes and then opens them to see Krisha in front of him, he sniffs and unsure what to do, what to say he just sits down to spend some time here just to quietly visit the graves of his mom and grandpa and maybe visit a couple other abbey beast he knew.

Oz walks back towards them, for now quiet, before speaking again “I will be inside…ok Xander…Krisha?”

Krisha nods and then seems to remember oh yeah he is blind, she gives a quiet look to Xander.

Xander speaks “Ok Uncle Oz…be there soon, in a little while” He gives a faint smile to Krisha and if allowed places a paw around her, “Ferro told me….you lost your mom too…and your dad, guess we both were adopted by a nice beast huh?”

Krisha leans into the hug, feeling safe with the other badger and lays her head on his shoulder and when he gets up to go inside she will follow.

Oz walks off quietly letting the other two decide when it’s time to go inside.
