Caleb-Adopted son of Krisha and Xander

Esmeray-Evil Kitty (shows up briefly at end of log)

WHO:

Krisha has avoided, well everyone mostly since Xander's death, only coming out of her room a couple times, even refusing to eat and drink for a few days. But the last couple days she had started eating again and today decided it was time to get back to her duties, though she will take it easy a couple days as she is a bit weak as she has managed to get downstairs and sit in her chair, where she is soon spotted by the large group known as dibbuns whom are happy to see her as they rush over " Mother Krisha" She smiles a little letting them give a hug or sit on her lap.

Caleb would be coming in from the training grounds, carrying his sword and shield on his back. He'd go to put his things away and soon come back to his mother, smiling to see her happy again to help the Dibbuns.

Benar is standing by the fireplace, a scroll held in his hands, slowly unrolling it as he reads the missive letter and shakes his head, sighing and turns away, moving toward the stairs.

Krisha smiles a little, " Hey...yes I am back,..Pj do not knock down Katey" She sees Caleb " Caleb no weapons inside the abbey."

Caleb points towards where he had gone, having dropped them off. He looks towards the Abbot and wanders over, giving the older man a tug on his flock as he wanted to at least say hello.

Benar turns to look as someone tugs on his robes, he looks up from his scroll and down at the mouse, "Oh Caleb hello dear," he turns back to his scroll and starts toward the stairs again, he then veers toward Krisha, he seems distracted.

Krisha looks at Benar and speaks quietly " Benar...you alright?" She smiles at the dibbuns " Go with Sister Anna it's class time. " She gets some grumbles but off most of the dibbuns go, one mole is asleep on her lap.

Caleb seems to grumble a bit himself. He's been missing for a while and that's all the squirrel has to say? But he did seem distracted. The mouse starts to follow the squirrel, wondering what is up.

Benar hands the scroll to Krisha, "I found this, I think you should have it..." it is the letter Xander left him a few years ago when he was setting up the defenders. He then turns back and looks down at the younger mouse, "And just where have you been young mouse? you had everyone worried sick."

Krisha looks at the letter quietly and frowns a little, she decides to read it more in depth later as she leans back in her chair and wipes away a tear.

Caleb seems to whimper as the Abbot questions him. He takes out his notepad and fumbles a bit before writing in it. "I had set off to travel a bit. I had to take care of something... back home. Bury something that I didn't want with me anymore. I had just got back a few days ago... Mother already told me what happened." The tears started to come back but he does his best to wipe them away, getting some charcoal on his cheek.

Benar sighs quietly and wraps an arm around Caleb, "I am glad you are home safe, it .. is a sad homecoming you have had to come into, however.. .I am sorry you had to come home to this. But I am glad you are safe"

Krisha nods "I am glad he is safe too...and not..."

Caleb manages to stop himself from fully crying, holding onto the arm for a moment before writing up another note. "It's alright, I've... grown used to bad news. I've decided it's best I stay here instead of trying to join the people trying to find the wildcat. Especially if he comes back."

Krisha frowns, " That wildcat is dangerous, and so is the other cat too. Hopefully, neither show up near the abbey"

Caleb simply nods and signs to his mother somewhat. "I don't plan to fight them unless I absolutely have to, mother. I hope so as well... I want to make sure the Dibbuns stay safe."

Krisha nods slowly, " I...need some air" She excuses herself and goes towards the entry.

Benar says, "Yes..." Benar says with a frown, "You should stay with Krisha for now, with your brother missing and Xander gone to the Black Forest she needs someone to stay with her." The abbot sighs and reaches out a hand toward Krisha and takes one of her hands, "How are you doing today Krisha?"

Krisha decides to stop, she looks at the entry and sighs, she then speaks " A little better...I ..just.." She frowns, "Sorry about last weeks."

Caleb would come back up towards Krisha, taking her other hand and looking rather worried as he looked towards Benar.

Benar says, "You need to eat something and drink," he glances at Caleb, "I am sure Caleb could run down to the kitchens and get us some tea and scones and then we can talk about... the Winter Feast... .I can't hold it off for much longer."

Krisha sighs, " I ate a little earlier....ok, some tea and scones be nice" She will let them led her to a chair to sit down as it's likely not too good an idea for her to be totally alone.

Caleb nods somewhat and smiles, clearly happy that she's wanting to eat. With a bow, the mouse runs off towards the kitchens to gather up some scones and tea. He'll be gone for a bit.

Benar says, "Well there we go," he tugs Krisha over toward a chair and the table by the fire, "Let's sit down and stay warm, you have had a very nasty shock. I am quite sure we are meant to keep you warm."

Krisha sits slowly and looks at Benar "Seeing the...dibbins did cheer me up a little, I know they have missed me, I just been feeling lost.." She looks at him " So..winter feast soon?"

Velm steps in from the entry brushing off some light snow that's fallen.

Benar says, "Hello Velm, join us we are about to have some tea," he nods to Krisha, "The dibbuns all want to be there for you"

Krisha smiles just faintly but at least she is trying to smile some again, " When would the winter feast be Benar? My..guess is soon." She frowns a bit again knowing if Xander was still here he likely would help with the feast.

Velm ears perk a bit straighter at feast " Perhaps....was debating on doing a small walk around the woods nearby. "

Caleb would soon come back with a tray of some nice warm tea and fresh scones, smiling towards Velm as he sets it down near everyone, handing things out.

Benar says, "Well I will settle on a date tomorrow after talking to the council, but I am thinking the 14th, that seems like a good date to me, far enough in the future for the Friar to plan."

Krisha gets a scone and some tea, as she seems to think a little while, a sip of tea and a little bite of scone." Yes...that be good Benar."

Velm sits " Feasts are jolly good, not been to one before though"

Benar says, "Well," the squirrel stood up and smiled, "I need to get back to my office, but I will see you all later at dinner" he inclined his head to everyone and started up the stairs."

Krisha quietly eats quietly, letting tears fall. She clears her throat." I...miss him, it's not fair. I should have not gone to bed early"

Velm frowns " Think of happy times, maybe one now" He offers a smile of encouragement.

Krisha shrugs, then a sigh" We slow danced in the great hall. Just me and him , and he made me dinner. " A smile " We had not had time for just us, and he.." She frowns, the memory of the rest of the night," He said he was gonna help this cat and her friend and would be back a little after dinner . I told him to be careful and he said he would. I didnt worry at first when he wasn't back,it was late..figured he would wait till morning cauas of the..dark"Krisha feels the tears fall now. again they come and she just starts sobbing.

Velm stands, he starts to reach out a paw and stops. " Lass..tis not ya fought wit happen"

Krisha just shakes her head and stands up a little shaky on her footpaws.

Velm gets up to steady her" Maybe sit back down lass, eat some nice scones and drink tea"

Krisha sits down again and finishes her snack.

Velm sits down " I am gonna do some patrol around the area, if I see anything I can let you know"

Krisha nods " I am going to bed" she stands up slowly" Goodnight " Then heads to bed.

===Late at Night===

Krisha had slept a little, but then she quietly slipped out of bed while Caleb was asleep, most were asleep. She went up to the wall top and just stood there, looking over the edge, and frowned "Xander....."

In the grasslands is a cloaked beast, Esmeray as she ventures out and watches the badger and smirks. Maybe she can have it a bit of fun.

Krisha closes her eyes and looks ready to purposely fall, she opens her eyes and catches sight of movement and frowns "Who's..who's there!"

Esmeray walks out and grins "Don't let me interrupt whatever."

Velm had been patroling the wall tops and gets to Krisha "LASS!" He sees the cat "Who the bally well are you? Sneaking around at night be bally well insane"

Krisha frowns, then a better look at the cat "Esmeray..."She then screams "How dare you show your face! You.."She looks at Velm "She is the one, the one that....Xander helped"

Esmeray watches them and decides maybe she should seriously leave and backs away.

Velm carefully gets Krisha off the wall "Back inside lass.I will deal with this I promise."He makes sure a guard gets her back to her room.

Krisha at first looks unwilling and then nods, trusting the hare..also she is worn out and needs sleep. She allows herself to go back to her room and back to sleep.

Velm gets his saber and sees who else wants to help and he is out the gates, they are locked behind him and he is after that cat.

Esmeray backs away and then bolts as fast as her legs will get her in this snow!
