A Nice Chat With The Abbot(Lorimis Log)

Lorimis is looking over some papers on his desk, supply lists and what they need or don't need at the abbey.

Zork knocks at the door and waits on a response from the abbot.

Lorimis looks over to the door and smiles " Come in old friend, how are-coughs and clears his throat- You today?" He stands up slowly and keeps a paw on his desk for support.

Zork smiles and then looks concerned, "Ya ok Lorimis and I be fine taday. I was just letting you know I had a small lesson with Silverstorm today, now that the snows are melting some. Though she doesn't really need many lessons really. Showed her how to make good strong hinges so now we have some of varies sizes just in case its ever needed and even some new Barrel rings." He chuckles as he adjust his pillow on his wheelchair, "Then again Kadar taught her a lot also from his forge by de market place. Even though can't make or repair weapons and armor here doesn't mean she shouldn't of been taught how..ya know just in case."

Lorimis nods and answers the first question, "Just a cough, this winter weather dislikes me this season it seems. I will be fine Zork and it is a good idea for Silverstorm to learn all this. Just so you’re not doing too much Brother Zork, you are to take it easy."

Zork says, "And I have Abbot Lorimis, no worries on that. And even eating better with Lacota's diet ideas and all, Leon even said I didn’t have to drink my tea mixture every day now, just once every other day, in the morning after breakfast and I have been doing that."

Lorimis nods as he has a small coughing fit again and shakes his head, "This winter season for sure dislikes me." He slowly sits down in his chair again, " I will be glad when it gets warmer outside."

Zork is still very concerned and wheels over to Lorimis "I could have Leon get you something Lorimis...I know more about healing than most know and I know a cough isn't a good thing in..ummm..well older beasts."

Lorimis smiles "I am fine no need to go find Brother Leon" And he rather not have the Master Healer tending to him and worrying over him, "I will have a little lemon honey tea here soon and it will help and staying indoors helps as well but warmer weather is coming soon and so is the spring feast"

Zork sighs and nods "Ok but if it gets worse you can let Brother Leon know" He grins at the mention of the feast, "Feasts should be great and Rayen and Flicky are getting married. Weddings are cool, thou only been ta one me self and that was when Ozzy married Northstar..many seasons ago and before he came here, she died and it’s one main reason Ozzy left the snowy Northlands."

Lorimis nods "Oz has told the story of what happen a couple times, no need to dwell on any sad past. And yes the spring feast and the wedding of Flicktail and Rayen will be a very lovely event indeed."

Zork grins again “I made de rings for Flicky and Rayen, gonna hold on ta them till the wedding and maybe be ring bearer if Flicky needs one that is."

Lorimis says, "That is good and I heard Rayen has her dress being made in Ferravale, she let me know as to why she left for a few days and plans to go out again in a week or so to pick up the dress but doesn't want Flicktail to know as he might try and see the dress and that’s usually a big no for most brides to be."

Zork nods "I hope the lass stays safe, thar was some trouble on the roads but it may of passed now as me Uncle Zee got back from Ferravale safe and sound and Leon and Ozzy got back safe also, in fact me Uncle Zee headed back ta Ferravale this morning..seems he likes it thar some reason."

Lorimis says, "I have yet to meet Zee but I am sure he will be fine Zork, sounds like one who can care for himself very well walking to and from Ferravale like that and in winter or whats left of winter anyways." He coughs slightly again."

Zork nods slowly "He does get around fairly well surprisely, you think he would have problems but he doesn’t or he doesn’t let on he does. He also likes ta tell stories of stuff in Send and he does sleep a lot but then I catch myself taking a nap more often than I use to."

Lorimis grins "Nothing wrong with a nap from time to time, it recharges us and helps us finish the rest of the day."

Zork chuckles now and leans back in his wheelchair and then rubs his eyes as they tear some, "Maybe.." His paws trace the wheelchair arms" You know..I would of thought me Uncle be in a wheelchair, not me..he is like just over 10 seasons older than me..I think anyway could be a little less and he still walks around with a staff."

Lorimis says, "Take heart Zork, you are still able to do things and before you say it your still very helpful and needed in this abbey never let any beast say you’re not"

Zork smiles a little as he had been starting to frown "I..never thought anyone didn’t think me helpful or needed Lorimis, this just..upsetting at times. I can't lift things I use to and I am starting to have my own problems getting in and out of this chair without me staff. Wish never had this weak heart problems sometimes, then again maybe it’s something that would of showed up later or been worse I don’t know"

Lorimis offers a smile of encouragement, "Perhaps, but it doesn’t make you less..well you my friend. And age does have its little annoying times and sore joints even and even I have to sometimes force myself to rest when needed, I get tried and I don’t do too much. Then winter is the best time to be lazy and sit in front of the fireplace and chat with friends. Today I needed to finish lists but I got done just before you arrived. I have an idea maybe we can have a good chat I can have Friar Lacota bring us lunch up here and we have a good chat over lunch, it has been a while since we have truly talked together Brother Zork. Just talk of life and friends and maybe a couple ideas for the Spring feast."

Zork smiles and nods "I like that idea Abbot Lorimis"

Lorimis nods, he calls out to a novice as they pass, "Have Friar Lacota bring me and Brother Zork lunch, me and him will have lunch up here today" The novice nods and heads off as the abbot smiles as they get ready for lunch and a good chat.
