Aikuen Dibbunsits
Location: Great Hall
Characters: Zen, Corbyn, Brother Julian, Orph, Kun, Naje, Aikuen, Calingaladha,
Zen's eyes widen a little, then they narrow a bit. "I's no gonna dies... er... waits.. again?" He then blinks a little confusedly at Orph, his mind racing a little. "Uh... Orphs? you... you okie? I's... I's gonna be okies... you knows that? Rights?"
The otter pads down from the stairs, dressed in an order robe and looking a little neater then he normal appears. Looking around, he spots his young charge and Brother Julian. With a chuckle, Corbyn walks up to the mouse. "The lad been behavin' himself?"
Brother Julian is nursing his bitten paw. Orph has returned to this former positon, knees to chest ears folded and squished down against his head by his paws, he doesn't responed.
( A moment later Kun reappears from the stairs, carrying a small satchel, he sits it down and once again crouches beside Zen, the tiniest hint of a smile in his green eyes. He fishes out a small bottle out of the pack, handing it to Zen he says to him: "Here, drink this quickly, it tastes bad but it will help with the pain some..." )
Julian nods at Orph and shows Corbyn his paw. "Does that answer your question?"
Jennefer wobbles a bit unsteadly as she makes her way over to the kitchen. In a near whisper, she mutters, "Please... ex.... excuse me..."
Corbyn looks at the brothers paw, a grim frown on his face. He looks at Orph, dropping to a knee in front of ratling. "Oh
Orph, what have ya done now lad?"
Julian nods to Corbyn and heads for the stairs, "I'll be in the imfirmary before I head to the dorms. Hope you can handle him better than I me, Corbyn."
Zen looks heasitant of Kun's demand, but he takes the bottle and stares at it... "O... Ok, I... I'll... I'll tries..." He quickly tilts his head back and drinks it, making a face the screams that the stuff was NASTY! He then sets the bottle down and lays down as well, an eye following Jennefer as she leaves.
Corbyn holds up his hand in a wave. "Aye. I'll certainly try. Thank ya lad."
Julian leaves. Orph is still unresponsive.
Naje nods and smiles a little more, "Good boy." He praises Zen, then he turns to look at the other's who had arrived, giving them a nod in the way of a greeting. He puts the bottle back in the pack and moves back off toward the stairs; too many beasts here for him. "Let me know how you feel in about an hour, or better yet, I will check on you." He says softly to Zen then vanishes into the shadows.
Corbyn sets his paw on Orph's shoulder, heaving a heavy sigh. "Orph. Whats wrong lad?"
Orph sounds angry, what he's saying can't be made out with his face in his knees.
Corbyn says, "Orph me boy, ya need to raise ya head up a smidge. My hearin' aint the best lad, and muffled 'gainst ya knees makes harder to hear ya."
Orph raises he head. He is clearly very angry. "He is NOT gonna die again!" he yells.
Zen watches as Kun leaves, closing his eyes slowly as he sighs. That stuff was nasty! He never tasted anything worse! He then glances at Orph and blinks... He gets a bit of a worried look on his face, opening his mouth to say something, but then falling silent.
Corbyn stumbles back a little at the dibbun's outburst, a confused look crossing his face. "Who? Who's dyin'?"
Aikuen comes from the stairs, he is humming what sounds like cheery tune. He winks at Zen, and heads toward the table.
The large otter lets out a heavy sigh as Orph runs off. "Oyi... I'm gonna go check on Brother Julian. Certainly he should know more of whats been happenin' with the lad." Corbyn rises and turn to head towards the stairs.
Zen is on his side by the fireplace, curled up and holding his stomach. He blinks at Orph and then sighs. With a smile, he nods to Aikuen, though it's a rather weak smile.
Aikuen gives a passing nod, when Corbyn passes, "Evening! How are you this night!"
Corbyn gives a weak smile. "Oh, fine and dandy. Seems my charge bit Brother Julian while I was out and has run off. Heres hopin' he might still be in the Infirmary, some answers would be a nice to know."
Aikuen answers while heading off to the table, "Well good luck to ye!"
The otter chuckles tiredly. "Thanks. I'll probbly need it lad." He turns to head back up the steps when he sees Orph.
Corbyn gives a weak smile. "Oh, fine and dandy. Seems my charge bit Brother Julian while I was out. Heres hopin' he might still be in the Infirmary, some answers would be a nice to know."
Zen closes his eyes, not daring to move to test if he's in pain or not. With a soft sigh, he decides maybe he should take a nap. He thinks to himself what he might have done to upset his injury, but he can't think of anything outside of maybe stretching the wrong way.
Corbyn looks over at Aikuen. "If'n ya could, keep an eye on Orph for me? Sister Sunrose said he's to be supervised at all times, and since he bit his guardian for no reason I know of, I need to go see why."
Aikuen gets to his favorite chair, which is about a quarter of the way down. Plopping down, he gives a short salute to
Corbyn, "Aye sir, i keep an eye on the little rascal!"
Corbyn looks relieved and heads back towards the stairs. "I shall be brief as I can." With that, the otter dispears up the stairs.
Aikuen looks at the ball of fluff, that is Orph. "Hey little mate, Why did yah go and bite the poor brother... that's Not very nice..." Not expecting an answer he goes to his own devices, Which is finding something to Drink!
Corbyn comes back down the stairs, looking more serious then he's looked during his stay at the Abbey. He walks right over to
Orph, bending down to look at the lad in silence.
Orph glares at the otter towering over him.
Aikuen is sniffing different drinks that had been left on the table. Getting a good one, he quickly guzzles it down. Placing the empty drink on the table, he goes to select another one!
Zen wakes up a little from his short nap, opening one eye up and spotting Aikuen drinking from random cups. He shifts onto his back and sits up, rubbing his eyes. "Whoa.w... whazza weirds dreams...'
Corbyn glances over at the little mouse. "Ya alright there lad?"
Aikuen just finished his fourth drink, when he hears that Zen has woken up. He smiles at the small mouse, "Good Evening matey! How was your nap!"
Zen blinks a little and glances back at Corbyn with a half awake face, tilting his head. When he goes to get on his feet, he winces a little. Then glancing at Aikuen, he blinks! "Tha'... was no dreams!! Aiku? Wha... whats are you don's?" He smiles and chuckles a little. "How many cups ya gots?"
Aikuen quickly counts the amount of cups, "Well, it look like I've got 6 so far... But i'm still thirsty mate!" He polishes off another one, then Gives Zen concerned look, "What you mean it was no dream? What dream are ye talking about?"
Corbyn looks up and over at the other otter. "Oh fer... of all the times to have yaself a drink..." The otter shakes his head, turning to respond to his charge, only to find the lad out like a light. "Oyi... just anit my day, t'would seem...."
Zen shrugs his shoulders at Aikuen, then glances at Corbyn. "Uh... Hi. Uh..... somthn's... wrong?"
Aikuen picks up another cup, which is near full, And gives a wink at the other otter before, shooting the whole thing down in one gulp.
Corbyn grabs the sleeping ratling, resting him on his shoulder. "Nothin' cause of your doin' lad. Don't worry your head none 'bout it."
Zen blinks a little and sighs, shaking his head. "It... it's... all me faults though..." Rubbing his shoulder a bit, he hobbles to his feet, feeling much better than before. His glance then get caught in the fire, his gaze not shifting an inch.
"Belay that thought a moment lad whilst I handle this little one." The otter waves over a passing badger, handing the ratling over and giving instructions, to which the badger simply nods, heading for the stairs. Watching with a sad look, Corbyn looks back to Zen. "Now then, how is your fault lad?"
Zen sighs softly and shakes his head, "Uh.. it's.. it's nothings.. I... jus.. neverminds..." He paces around, glancing at the kitchen door nervously.
Corbyn says, "If you know the reason Orph went and bit Brother Julian, I'd love to know lad."
Aikuen looks at Zen, and says, "Its okay mate, you can tell us"
Zen sighs and rubs his head, "I.. don' knows but.. he... he was upsets when.. I.. I was hurts for some reasons..." He falls silent as his eyes glance over to the fireplace yet again.
Corbyn blinks. "Hurt? In what way lad?"
Zen just shakes his head. "I.. gots kicked a couples of days back.. Hards... my tummies still kinna hurtn's from it is alls.. no biggys..." He moves around slowly, eyes still fixed upon that fire.
Aikuen kind of put together who kicked Zen in the stomach, but just to make sure, he keeps his mouth shut.
Zen sighs a little and glance into the fire more and more, then goes and stands up close to the fireplace, still staring blankly at it.
Aikuen gets up from the chair and goes to stand behind Zen, he places a paw on his shoulder, "Whats wrong little matey" He then looks at the fireplace, "Why are you looking so much at the fire? Does it... Remind you of ... Something?"
Zen's head nods a little though his glance doesn't move from the fire. "Yea.. it... reminds me of a lots... Things I.. I can't forgets..."
Aikuen says softly, "Wot sort of things?" He looks at Zen again, then back at the fire...
Zen sighs and looks into the fire more and more. "Well.. there.... was the times I was first here... I'd... always go to warms up cause I hads no clothes. Hehe, then... I remebers the times I burnds myself. That was funnies.." Then his eye gives a twitch. "Then.. I... I remebers how muches I loved the fires... how much I wanteds it.. to.... to burns a..... a... beast..."
Aikuen eyes pop open, When Zen told him that he wanted to burn a beast. He looks back at Zen, "Why would you want that, for a beast to umm,...Burn? And Who did you want to burn..."
Zen does something a bit disturbing. He chuckles and smiles, glancing away from the fire. His red eyes seem to glow with the fire's light reflecting off of them. "Oh.... the stoats that captureds me. I wanted thems to burns."
Aikuen has a flashback of when he was in the militia, when thousands were burned due to some angry vermin. Shaking his head to get rid of the image, he says, "I understand why you wanted too... but your safe now... There is no need for umm... those kind of thoughts..."
Zen chuckles and smiles, closing his eyes and seeing... well, his thoughts aren't clear. "I's... just thinks that... heheha... I-I... should has done its. They..hehe... th... they deservededs it!" He nods a little and chuckles, staring back into the fire with a smile.
Calingaladha makes her way down the staircase, looking rather drowsy. The analgesic from yesterday has worn off and the suture area on her shoulder again feels tender, and she keeps a paw to it, frowning lightly. She spots the others, however, and raises the paw in greeting, smiling softly. "Hello."
Aikuen just looks at the Pyromaniac dibbun, he doesn't really know what to say... There is only a few ways to deaden memories like that, all of them bad. He sees Calingaladha, coming down the stairs, and gives a friendly wave, "Hello, how are you this evening!"
Zen smiles and continues to gaze into the fire. As much as he gaze, one could confuse him for trying to look into the future by gazing into the fire... He should pull a scam to raise cheeses that way, shouldn't he? One block of cheese, one prediction... Anyways, he continues to gaze into the fire, humming a little to himself now.
Calingaladha grins. "Well, I'm alright. How are you both?" she asks, starting to rub lightly at her shoulder as she approaches.
Calingaladha is large even for a badger, standing 3' 4" and with a foot long tail. Her fur is the typical dark brownish-grey, and her beady black eyes are almost entirely concealed in the broad bands of black down the side of her face, along with all four of her paws being jet black. She wears a green tunic and dark brown leggings, carrying a small chalemeau in her black belt.
Aikuen looks at the Badgers shoulder, "I'm just great, and little Zen over here is well... just well i guess he's just fine at the moment..." He sighs a bit and gets up from behind Zen, he turns to the Badger, "So, what happen to your shoulder..."
Zen nods a little, but stays quite and sits down infront of the fire. He leans forwards and watches the flames eat at the fire wood slowly as his ears splay flat.
Calingaladha nods to them both before answer Aikuen. "Ah, got attacked by vermin on my way here a couple of days ago. Got it stitched up last night, but it's still sore, like." she replies.
Aikuen just shakes his head, "Any sensible beast should know you never attack at Badger, its just not... Done... Of coarse they are vermin types so i guess they can really help it." He laughs a bit, for he made a lame joke. He continues "At least your arm can move right? mine still wont budge... Stupid fox..."
Zen seems to be silent as he gazes at the fire..
Calingaladha chuckles. "Well, they did leave in a worse shape than I did, that's for certain." she says, and nods. "Aye, that's lucky. Their blade cut clear across my shoulder."
Aikuen looks at the huge size of the badger, "I bet they left in worst shape, or no shape at all!" He winks at Calingaladha, "Well the healers here know there stuff, at least way more than i know..." He looks around the Great Hall, a smile crosses his face, "Aye its a nice place to be..."
Zen continues to stare at the fire until... he snores! He fell fast asleep!!! He squeeks a little as he exhales, his ears bobbing up and down as he snores.
Calingaladha grins. "I'm surprised they had the guts to attack me in the first place, though of course, vermin as they were, they waited until my back was turned." she says, and smiles. "Aye, this is a very nice place indeed."
Aikuen hears the snores, and looks at Zen. Giving a very mock depressed look he goes to pick up Zen, so the fire wont burn him. "That's the second time the little tyke has fallen asleep in my presence, i guess i have that problem with beasts..."
Zen is picked up and in Aikuen's arms now, a very light and frigile mouse. One could feel nearly every bone in his body if they wanted! He snores a little more and more, eyes shutting as he cuddles in.
Calingaladha chuckles as the little mouse falls asleep. "It may just as well have been my presence. Many here seem to fear badgers, for some reason or another."
Aikuen just shakes his head, "I don't know why, Badgers are one of the most nicest beast anyone can know! It just when they get riled up, that when you should fear them..." He goes and places Zen on an armchair by the fire, the one that the abbot tends to like... "I'm sure he was just tired from all that happened today, i guess..."
Zen snores a bit loudly once set in the chair, then rolls over and positions himself nice and cozzy in the chair, his paw nearing his muzzle as soon he's sucking on it.
Calingaladha hmms. "Well I wouldn't harm a single beast that wouldn't harm me or another goodbeast first." she replies.
Aikuen pets Zen on the head, while looking at the badger, "Exactly, Vermin don't care as long as it benefits themselves in any way... Don't give a Damn about anything else but them! They would slay there own brother for a slice of bread..." He stops petting Zen and heads over toward the table, where his large amount of drinks are stacked. He beckons Calingaladha to come join him.
Zen continues to rest comfortably whilst sucking on a paw. He mrrs softly at the pets, then dreams..
Calingaladha nods. "At least I can hold my own, though. I feel bad knowing about the more defenseless critters that the vermin go after as well." she says, walking over to join Aikuen.
Aikuen sniffs a few drinks, before selecting one, and shoving it toward Calingaladha. "Aye i know what you mean... Good Thing there is a Sanctuary like this to help them... Including the orphan beasts, Tis so sad..." He shakes his head, then without choosing a drink he just gulps down the nearest one.
Zen dreams alright, though it seems to be a nightmare fore he is mumbling loudly. "Ughn... m... me.... peppr....jck.... ghrn.." He turns onto his back, head proped up against the arm rest.
Calingaladha frowns lightly as she picks up her drink and sips at it. "Aye, poor creatures...it's a hard life as an orphan."
Orph is sitting on the floor with his knees tucked up to his chest, his forehead rests on his knees. He has folded up his ears and squished them aganst his head with his paws. He has not moved in the last few hours.
This reminds Aikuen of Orph whose been in the room this whole time, but he totally forgot about it. Grabbing another drink and Chugging it down, he gets up and heads over to the ball of Fluff... He leans down close, "Hello Orph, Are yah fellin' any better mate?"
Calingaladha tips her head back and finishes the latter half of her drink in a single swallow, smiling as she sees Orph. "Hello there."
Zen rolls over again, his mummbling still about how some beast is trying to take his cheese. The paw he was sucking on slips out of his mouth and dangles from the edge of the chair along with one of his feet, leaving is cheek on the arm rest of the chair... "Mrrr..."
Orph sticks his head up glaring at Aikuen through red rimmed eyes.
Aikuen just looks back at Orph, "Come on mate! Smile! Or else you might bring on the rain!" He laughs at his joke again. Then Continuing, "Why so gloomy me matey!"
Calingaladha hmms and leans back in her chair with a smile. "Well, rain isn't all so bad to bring, you know." she grins. "No food without rain.:
Orph doesn't seem to hear the otter. His face takes on a more netural tone as he looks over at Zen.
Aikuen tries to get the attention of the young rat. "Come on me matey, Tell me what's wrong, It'll make yah feel better! Or how about this..." He runs back to the table and selecting a particular drink. He goes back to Orph, and places the flask and a few Candied Chestnuts that he had in his pocket, in front of him. "How about some nice Strawberry Cordial, and a few chestnutters, Eh?"
Zen snores softly in the chair, his foot kicking a little as he dreams. There's a soft smile on his face as he dreams.
Orph watches Zen for a few minutes, his body slumps forword a bit as he relaxes his tense muscles at last. He takes his paws from his ears and turns to Aikuen, "Brother's gonna be ok noaw." he says softly all malice now gone from both his face and voice.
Aikuen nods his head, "Well, its good to hear to speak little mate... What do you mean the brother gonna be ok? what happen to him?" He wasn't there when it happened so he has little to no clue about it.
Zen snores softly, flopping back onto his back in the chair. His paw slips back into his muzzle as he sucks on it, still dreaming peacfuly.
Orph nods at Zen, "He'll be ok now. He won't die this time." he seems to be talking more to himself then the otter beside him.
Aikuen eyes pop open for the second time that night. What with all young'us and there fascination with death anyway... He just look at Orph not knowing what to say. then he blabs out before he could stop himself, "What do you mean he wont die this time, what happen the first time!"
Zen coughs a little, flopping back over once again, growing more and more restless. He slips out of the chair just a little more, his arm and leg dangling again.
Orph blinks and turns to the otter looking a little confused, "He died last time. Brutus an me were playing at the ... the ... the place with the family that liked us. They were sad. We had to go live with another new family. They didn't like Brutus. And then later ... later Brutus had a tummy ache and ... and he was very still and didn't move. All the grown ups were very upset. They took me away. I liked Brutus he was like me. He was bigger than me, but he was /just like/ me. They didn't like that. I can't remember before that. I was too little. They said so."
Aikuen tries to understand what was just said, "So Brutus dies of a Stomach Ache, and wot about the second time? And what about the Brother, what does he have to do with this?" He looks over when he hears Zen Cough, and notices that the little mouse is gonna fall off... But he make no motion to go save him... He just looks back at Orph, still with a concerned look.
Zen doesn't realy fall out of the chair, as much as slides off slowly. His habbit seems to catch against the chair a little, slowly lowering him to the ground until it gives and he lands on his back with a soft flump. He squeeks a bit alarmed, sitting up right, but then he lays back down and falls right back asleep.
Orph looks over at Zen watching as he 'falls' to the floor. He toys with a candle from the table picking at the wax with a claw.
The wax beings to take on the shape of a rat or mouse in a robe as Orph rolls it around in his paws scraping bits aways here and there.
Aikuen looks back at Zen, as he flumps to the floor. Placing a paw to his head, he sighs, "Well i guess you cant fall off the floor, now can yah..." He says that more to himself then to Zen. Removing his paw, he sees that Orph is doing something with the candle. He watches with great interest...
Zen mumbles to himself, rolling around and about. Slowly, he sticks his paw back in his mouth and gets comfortable quickly.
Bit by bit the white wax starts to resimble the litte mouse on the floor more than the candle is was a short time ago. Orph stops to examine his new figurine smothing spots and genrally touching up little things here and there on it. "I still like clay better, but Zen should like this anyway. He liked the clay one of Nic I did, so he should like this one too." Orph say offhandly to no one in preticular.
Aikuen Looks at the Sculpture with great awe, "Zen is going to love this, its so good! and you did it in a matter of minutes! What an artist!" He slaps his rudder down in admiration of Orph.
Zen snores softly, but then starts to wake up slowly. With a yawn, he sits up and pulls hi paw out his muzzle. He then blushes deep red, spotting other beasts around him... and his.... He squeeeks! "Ugh... uh.. UH OH!!! Uh.. I's... don'... don' sucks on... me paws!!" He says that nervously and weakly, then wipes the trail of drool off his mouth and paw... Ughn, not a morning mouse, is he?
Orph shrugs, "Was that fast? I didn't notice. Maybe tomorrow I can find some good clay and make some more. You want me to make you one? I'm making Corbyn next, but you can be after him.
Orph sees Zen's awake. "Look I made a you." He holds out the candle turned sculpture to the little mouse.
Aikuen smiles at Zen, "No of coarse not, we didn't see you sucking on your paws at all. Nope!" Then back to Orph and the Sculpture, he pats Orph on the head, "I love for you to make me one! Ill put it in my room, so i can see it all the time."
Zen squints his eyes a bit, focusing on the little mouse in Orph's paws. He smiles softly and wobbles to his feet, heading over to Orph. "Aww... he... he's lovelies! Thanky, Orphs!" He smiles, his buck teeth poking out as he then glances nervously between Orph and Aikuen. "Don't tells about me suckn's on me paws.." He blushes deep red.
Orph smiles, "Ok. I'll find some good clay tomorrow to make them with. I'd like to make one for Martha too, but I don't think I can make her prickles without them breaking off."
Orph grins at Zen, "I won't tell if you don't want me too." He chuckles, "Orphs? I'll add that to my list of names."
Aikuen smiles and nods, "I'm sure you'll find a way matey, and she will love it just the same." He stretches a bit, and yawns there is a loud crack as he bends backward. Scratching his sides he leans back into his chair.
Zen nods at Orph and smiles. "Tehehes, okies. Hrmm... I's.. I's tireds! I was sleepn's an' hassn' a bads dream! I... I was flyn, then swimmin, then fallins, then fightens!"
Orph nods, "I've had bad dream before too, there never fun to have." He looks over at Aikuen.
Aikuen has closed his eyes, and looks like he is asleep.
Orph shakes the chair to 'wake' Aikuen. "Did ya know I have six 'names' now?"
Orph says, "Seven if you count 'hey you'.""
Zen turns and watches Orph, his eyes saddening. He slowly starts to remeber things he had in his dreams, thing that haunted him in reality as well..
Aikuen opens one eye, and looks at Orph, "Now i didn't know you had six names matey. Must have trouble remembering all of them..."
Orph shrugs, "Not really, wanta hear 'em?"
Aikuen opens both eyes and smiles at Orph, "sure matey, tell me all about them..."
Zen keeps quiet, going over to the fireplace. His maw is open as he gazes into the fire, eyes a bit widend.
Orph pulls up a chair to sit on while taking on a teacher like pose, "Well the first two are my /real/ name but nobeast uses them. My /real/ name is William Redfang, but like I said they aren't really used much anymore. When I was a baby my parents died somehow and my brother brutus and I became orphans and everyone went around talking about the 'poor little orphans'. After ... after ... when there was just me they said 'poor little orphan'. We were with a lot of diffent families but nobest wanted us or they couldn't keep us or they had too many dubbin of their own to look after or something, always something. After they said I think eight? maybe eight times then nobest wanted me. But then Ma came and got me, she was a mole - her and her widower brother and his two dibbuns. They took me in til," shrugs, "She called said William as 'Willum'. After they were gone I was by myself. I explored a lot. I got called 'Hey you' and 'orphan' most of the time. I'd been called orphan for a long time so I changed it and told
Orph says, "them I was called 'Orph' and now I am.""
Orph says, "Except it rather strange to not be William when I'm in trouble. I tried to tell them here, but they were busy and didn't hear me."
Aikuen nods slowly at the sad story, "What a sad life you had, little mate... But here with me, you'll never be second fiddle again, ill treat yah the same way that you should be treated. In fact, Do you want me to call you William even?"
Orph shrugs, "Well, I am in trouble." "Unless you'd prefer 'Master Redfang, sir." he teases striking what he thinks is a dignified pose.
Aikuen places his paw on his face in mock terror,and bows several times "of coarse sir, Master Redfang, sir. I just couldn't think of any better way to address you, your greatness!" He sees Zen staring at the fire, which is not good. "Oi! Do you mind stepping away from that fireplace please!"
Orph laughs at Aikuen, but stops short turning to look at Zen,"He's not goning to ... again ... is he?" he asks worriedly.
Aikuen looks back at Orph, "What do you mean Again!" He places he head into his paw, "uggg, I'm so lost! and this place is crazy!
"I don't want that to happen, it's not good for either of us," Orph frowns at the fireplace. "He had a .... a ... fit? maybe .... he ... it was bad ... it hurt both of us." he shakes his head, "a lot."
Aikuen nods at the little Rat, then gets up from the chair over to the fireplace. Going over to Zen he kneels down and looks at the small mouse, "Come on matey... you know what happens when yah stare at the fire for too long..." He then notices that
Zens eyes are closed he snaps his fingers in front of Zen. The mouse is sleeping while standing up! Aikuen just shakes his head and laughs a bit, then looking toward Orph and says, "You know this is the third time, he has fallen asleep in front of me..." He picks upen with his arm, and holds him close. He yells back to Orph, "Come on Master Redfang, I guess its time for bed" He heads up the stairs with Zen in his arms.
