A Short Chat Of The Past- Dibbun Slavers TP LOG

***** Copy/Paste again is so cool...logger /radio still down ****

Who:

Ciocan-Badger Lord

Tenzin- Warrior Sea Otter

Leigh-Heaer from GUOSIM

LOG:

Tenzin once again stayed in his little corner of the ship, he brothered no one, nor talked to no one and they did the same to him so far.

Ciocan choose to walk over and cleared his throat, "Tenzin, it would seem some are concerned for you so I thought I check on you.

Leigh glances over from where she is quietly watching the sea otter.

Tenzin snorts, "Maybe a couple beasts, not many care wot I be din' sur" He says, he does glance over at the shrew though and shakes his head, looking back to the sea again as if in deep thought.

Ciocan nods"Maybe, or maybe not. I am still glad, as are others, you saved Ciana's life, she is still with us thanks  to your quick actions."

Leigh offers the sea otter a smile before heading below deck she had decided to start helping with the dibbuns, that and they tended to mind her, along with one other beast, better than most.

Tenzin looks to the badger finally"Yeah well, least I got to do something good suppose, been a failure at other things in my life, even failed at helping much in the rescue plans."

Ciocan offers to lead him to the captain's quarters to talk, he will leave it up to the otter if he accepts the offer or not.

Tenzin snorts, but then he goes to follow him and folds his arms over his chest"Wot ya want...chat..talk of me life story so I feel better, well that doesn't always work trust me...why did I even come in 'ere fer...not like you know how I feel..wot I been threw that's to that bloody wolverine!!"

Ciocan sighs as he closes his eyes, he opens them again" That is true, I do not, every beast has their own reaction to things. I did not even know Gorax lived till seen him upon my arrival to the island, we followed a vixen and her rats here, I met Gorax many seasons ago when he killed my wife, I fought Gorax and woke in a small infirm a few hours later.Things may have been different had I known he lived, likely a lot different"

Tenzin rolls his eyes"Yeah, maybe ya should have stuck around and figured it out ...hmmm? Got ya hares to find out. Trust me I tried to slay Gorax once....and..."He looks away, ok maybe he failed too or in his eyes, he did anyways."He killed my father, my mother, my sister...friends....a whole holt of otters! He came with monitors and some weasels, he took me and 5 others, young ones at the time and we grew up on that island as slaves, he took others from the area as well..I wanted to be the one to slay him but ..."He looks ready to punch the badger as he makes a fist"You got to him first you..you stripe dog!"

Ciocan remains calm, even under the threat of being punched and the name calling, he takes a deep breath "It was not a race to get to Gorax, anger clouds the mind if you let it control you and leads to foolish thinking and unneeded death, to of fought the wolverine alone would have been the wrong choice, even I did not fight him alone. As for knowing Gorax was alive all this time, I didnt...and I was not Badger Lord yet, that was a few weeks later"He frowns now "I only wish Martha could have been at my side, she would have loved the mountain."

Tenzin undoes and redoes his fists and snorts again, he paces as he mutters to himself and then sinks into a chair finally tears in his eyes "Ya..ya be right Ciocan, I likely would have been slain,  guess almost was...some help I turned out ta be"

Ciocan stands before him"You helped a great deal, if you had not shown us the tunnels and the caves, we would have never been able to win the battle, you also saved many lives that day and not just that day over the past seasons you been in that system of tunnels, you were able to help us know what we were fighting against and you saved the life of Leigh as well when she could have been lost to us."

Tenzin listens and leans back in the chair."I..."He nods "Yeah....I did, and ya welcome, just wish could have saved Kash, de old hamster, he was de one that taught me of the cave system and such, he was a healer and...he died."He frowns and then speaks again"He was also a seer, seemed ta know ya was coming just not when....the hammer will come and needs shown the right place to be at the right time as faces of the past face-off....."

Ciocan listens as the otter speaks, he then speaks" I do not know your plans once we get back to the Western Shore but your welcome to stay in the mountain a little while or Halyard, there is also Camp Willow in Mossflower. I plan to rest a few days at the mountain get supplies and escort the dibbuns and the other Redwallers back to Redwall Abbey, you can join us if you wish"

Tenzin shrugs "I...don't know, I don't plan to ever go back to that island that's fer sure....even if my father now rests there..finally at rest..Gorax worn a otter fur cloak..."He doesn't go into detail, it's not needed to know ."I...will tag along maybe to this Redwall, maybe see Camp Willow. I don't have may friends...hard ta make ya...ya know"

Ciocan nods "I do, I found it hard to make friends when I first got to Salamandstron, then I made friends with a couple of the hares, I now see all the hares as my family. I didn't think I needed friends when I first got there...I didn't even tell them of my past, just I was a sea captain, and nothing more, my hares have learned more of my past over the past couple weeks than they have over the seasons I have been Badger Lord."

Tenzin nods "Nothing wrong with not sharing de past...though suppose at times it helps heal the mind"

Ciocan smiles "Yes, at times...so try and make some friends Tenzin, I will offer my friendship to you as well if you will accept it" He offers his paw to shake.

Tenzin seems unsure but then a grin as he takes the paw and shakes it."Ok then....my friend"
