SCENE: Redwall Abbey entry

CHARACTERS: Krisha, a female badger. Emyuil, a male mouse. DoraRose, a female mouse. Gorvenalus the male beaver dos a cameo from the previous log. Oz, a male badger.

LOG:
Gorvenalus nods "Yes maybe if he would...." And he is greeted by a novice "Umm...we are out of ink Brother Govenalus..." The beaver smiles softly "Well lets go get some while its still light and be home by dinner, excuse me my friends" and he slips off.

DoraRose nods. "Perhaps you both could write down what of your history that you remember, Gorvenalus. Perhaps that would give Minsc a sense of purpose, because if we don't remember the past, we are doomed to repeat it." She watches as the beaver has to leave, then smiles at the badgermaid. "And I'm glad that you feel at home here, Krisha. You are most welcome."

Emyuil exits the main Abbey building and heads out over the grounds towards DoraRose and the others at the entry. He raises a paw in silent greeting when he thinks they've spotted him, and soon he's within earshot. He doesn't interrupt...yet.

Krisha nods "Beasts here are...nice, most are"

DoraRose nods. "Yes, most beasts are. There are exceptions, of course, and the nice beasts are sometimes very good at remembering past hurts. But for the most part, everyone here is pretty nice." She waves to her brother. "I had a dream last night that the Dibbuns had painted you pink."

Emyuil blinks, caught off-guard. "Wha?" He tilts his head. "That's just bizarre...how did I react? In the dream, I mean." He smiles slightly, confused and amused in equal measure.

Krisha looks to the mouse whom enters, and nods a hello finally "Hello..." She doesn't know him yet.

DoraRose wrinkles her nose. "You just sat there eating grapes and apricots and didn't even notice, even after I told you. It was crazy." She then looks at the badger and says, "Oh, this is my brother, Emyuil. Emmy, this is Krisha. Her father is the Blacksmith of Ferravale." She refrains from mentioning that he's a monitor. She can tell him that later, in private.

Emyuil wrinkles his nose as well at his sister's retelling of her strange dream. "Ew." Then, he turns to Krisha and says, "Hey there...I dunno if 'rose told you, but our father was a blacksmith, too." He smiles tentatively.

Krisha shakes her head as she speaks "I...don't know much of...either of you, just that she is gatekeeper, and I know some other members and their jobs also"

DoraRose smiles, proud of how her brother is handling himself with this. "Yeah, we haven't talked much, much to my chagrin. But yes, our father was a Blacksmith, too, one of the best weaponsmiths in our land." Resting her back on the warm sandstone wall here by the steps leading up to the walltops, she adds, "You can ask me any questions you want, by the way; if I don't feel like answering it, I'll let you know." She winks at the 2 of them, letting them know that she's telling both of them that.

Oz walks into the entry slowly, a group of dibbuns with him. They seem to ask him something which he nods to and the leaf pile some novices had just fixes up...is now destroyed as 4-5 dibbuns jump into it and giggle. The badger smiles and chuckles a little himself as the novice just sigh, Oz smiles "It can be piled back up, besides....that's the purpose of leaf piles, to jump in" He hears others speaking but has yet to go all the way over to them yet.

Krisha giggles as she watches the dibbuns jump in the leaves, one of the dibbuns comes to sit by her and she smiles "Hello"

Emyuil smiles, more confident now. "Yeah...That was out in the East, a region called Tuscani," he explains to Krisha. Glancing over to his sister, he directs his next words at her instead. "So...any idea how Angela's trip was? Haven't got a chance to talk to her too much about it yet."

DoraRose smiles at the Dibbuns. Maybe she should join them; she hasn't jumped in leaves for a while. Looking back at her brother, she adds, "I haven't really, either. She's stayed locked up in her room off the Infirmary; I think she's working on experiments." She, too, smiles at the Dibbun who comes over and sits by them. Her smile, however, is a little wistful looking.

Oz walks on over "How is every beast and it may be wise to leave Angela alone she is most likely grumpy, seems someone left the infirm a little early and there is a hare there who keeps complaining of the food."

Krisha blinks "Why be grumpy and the food here is good" She has yet to truly learn about hares and their idea of how much food is a meal.

Emyuil tilts his head, catching DoraRose's wistful expression. He resolves to ask her about it later. "Ehh, Angela's not _that_ grumpy," he says to Krisha. "I mean, she can be, but she's got a heart of gold."

"Our grandmother is extremely grumpy at times," Dora says, "But my brother's right, she would do anything necessary to save a beast's life. She's a Healer....just don't get her mad. She has a stick." And the elderly mouse has been known to hit people with her stick when they argue with her. "Oh, did Marek leave early? I heard that he was here; I'm not sure if Lily was able to visit him before he left....wait, why would a hare be complaining about our food?"

Oz tilts his head, "She is scarier than Brother Leon sometimes if one doesn't pay attention to her in the infirm. I am blind and I can still picture that look she gives beasts." Yes he has dealed with it when his knee was acting up badly for a few days, he somehow managed to leave after Brother Leon left, but then there was Angela....he was on bedrest a week. He smiles "And hares are bottomless pits when comes to food. It is Zolomon so most likely saying he is starving "

Krisha listens and blinks "Oh...well there was 2 hares here earlier...only one was hurt"

Emyuil doesn't say much, relaxing back against the wall similarly to DoraRose, grunting contently as he listens to the talk.

But then Dora decides that relaxing is for whimps, and she hops up and goes to play in the leaves with the Dibbuns! Maybe this will cure her of the sadness she has about her own children being all grown up....and Caleb being married, to boot!
