Arrested

This happens in Ferravale

Zork is here, in the infirm with cuts and bruises and a bandage in a couple places and has not too long ago been tended to by a healer, he has gotten some much needed rest and now slowly gets out of the bed and looks around for his blade finding it near the door and proceeds to help to the doorway.

Scioto enters and blocks the exit from the infirm, unless he wants to exit from a window which is probably not the best idea and arches an eyebrow, “Greetings and where are you going to badger?"

Zork studies Scioto and adjusts some chainmail he has on, "Ta help Lee, so do step aside and let me go, he can't fight alone."

Scioto folds his arms over his chest, "And he will not fight alone, Camp Willow and the shrews are helping, a few fighters from elsewhere, some of my guards and fighters from here and not sure whom else is helping as well."

Zork glares as he grips his blade, he is still a little woozy from fighting and forcing himself to walk the last paw steps here, "I been threw worse feline, now move!"

Scioto just stays put, paws behind his back as he speaks, "You are to stay here till he returns and it’s not a request, it’s an order as this is my village and even guests obey the rules"

Zork shakes his head, "I AM going so do move" He goes to push him out of the way if needed, probably a good thing he isn’t at 100%, maybe 50% right now thanks to yesterday and the past weeks.

Scioto is pushed out of the way but doesn't get knocked over, he keeps his balance and hisses, he calls over a couple guards still here, a fox and a ferret, "Stop him"

Zork starts to go down the path and is stopped by the two guards, he shakes his head knocking out one and grinning at another, "Sorry I gots plans ta hel' a friend, do move sir or be knocked out"

Scioto blinks as the one guard is knocked out, the other seems to care less if the badger wants to leave and blocks the path, Scioto walks towards them both, "You will stop right now or regret knocking out one of my guards"

Zork looks between the ferret and Scioto "Regret?..Look kitty me friend will need hel' and I plan ta go hel' him no matter what ya say ta me, tell de guard to shoo."

Scioto doesn’t draw his blade as he seems to have a sudden urge to now, he takes a deep breath “Do not make me arrest you..your staying here"

Zork keeps his blade and backs up and points it at the cat, “Ya can't tell me wot ta do, I be goin'..weather ya say no or not, he needs me hel'.." He starts to slowly go towards the way out and the gates once he is out.

Scioto has keep calm, he has tried reason and his temper is building, ok he lets the badger get outside and onto the path then ears go back as he gives some kind of command that the guards would only understand and they surround the badger, "I CAN and I WILL.."

Zork blinks, and is surrounded and looks back at Scioto looking very annoyed now.

Down through the marketplace walks a certain black furred otter, who seems to be smiling, though that smile vanishes when he sees a familiar badger ringed with guards.

Zork glares at Scioto, he rubs his forehead a little as he feels a headache and dizzy spell, he then says "But..Lee needs me..I am goin' !" He doesn’t look like he should go anywhere, cuts bruises and a bandaged chest wound, arm and looks tried.."And..de others."

Scioto is not a happy cat, and one of his guards was knocked out, "No!" He says and nods to the guards, "Take away that large blade..." He seems to think on his next words, well its best..protect him from what...himself.."Place him..under arrest"

Rorgan frowns, very confused, and he quickly breaks into a run towards the guards and Zork, calling, "Zork! Wot are you doin'?!"

Zork is not too happy to have his blade taken from him or being placed under arrest, his first instinct is to fight but just drops to his knees and gives up, he spots Rorgan, "Rorgan..lad."

Scioto looks at the otter, "Decision made..step back" He has the couple foxes put the blade in his office for safe keeping and looks at the badger, “Ya can't help anyone in your condition, you would just die..get killed by those slavers and what good would that do for Lee or anyone else who is still there..hmmm?" He shakes his head. "Your be released once this whole Nightfur thing is over and done with"

Rorgan slows to a stop near the guards, but still looks almost distressed. "Scioto, wot's goin' on here?!" He demands, almost angry to see his friend ringed by guards, though he was happy to see the badger after not having seen him in stars know how long.

Zork looks down at the ground, yes he hears every beast he just isn’t too happy about this.

Scioto looks at the otter, "I am preventing the badger from following Lee and guessing Marek went too...off to that slaver base, I will not be responsible for his death..some of my own guards, and some fighters from here and around are going also to that slaver base to fight Nightfur, the badger shouldn’t in his state, reopen the right wound, he would die..not 100% shape, more easily killed...then what?"

Rorgan looks at Zork, confused. "Why would you try t' fight Nightfur in yer state Zork? You'll die, and I fer one will not let that happen. Scioto's right." He hated to go against a friend, but this time, it was for Zork's protection.

Zork frowns, "Rorgan...Lee's gone off ta fight Nightfur, wot if he dies..thar is archers and..who knows what else and Nightfur be goin' now someone coming since me and a couple others got outta thar...Nightfur will be prepared..."

Scioto stands nearby, the badgers sword put away and he is arrested, he sighs debating on letting anyone know this and decides to not worry on it for now.

Rorgan shrugs, honestly unsure of what to tell the badger. "I think Lee can handle himself, but even if he can't, wot difference will you make in yer state?" He takes a deep breath. This is going to be hard to say. "You'll be more a hindrance than a help Zork."

Zork sighs, deep down he knows the otter is right but still feels the need to help "I.." He sighs "Sorry ta of knocked out a guard.." He says quietly and looks back at Rorgan, "So...now wot?"

Scioto answers, "I could let you stay in my house, a couple guards at the main door...or a cell if you still refuse to listen, either way your still going nowhere till this is over"

Rorgan raises an eyebrow. "Maybe you can let me handle him Scioto."

Zork remains quiet for now and just listens.

Scioto asks, "And do what? Sneak him off to that base? No..."

Rorgan shakes his head. "I can give you my word that I will not let him sneak off. I completely agree with you Scioto."

Scioto asks, "Then what will you do with him? I know a cell or placed under guard at my home would prevent trouble"

Zork looks between them, he still has a couple guards with him as since he is not fighting back, they went back to their posts.

Rorgan again shakes his head. "I'll take him back t' Redwall, and I'll keep an eye on him."

Scioto shakes his head "Like he would stay there. Probably wouldn’t, how can I know you speak the truth otter?"

Zork only frowns, part of him still wants to leave, and part of him knows it’s a bad idea to leave and go after the slavers, he is also too tried to really argue with anyone.

Rorgan narrows his eyes. "First off, he won't be gettin' away in his condition. Second, how dare you question my honesty. I may be no Redwall beast, but I hold true t' me word."

Scioto takes a deep breath before answering, “This is my village, and my word is final. I could easily place him in a cell, send word to the abbey of it if I wanted"

Zork speaks softly, "I know, tis a bad idea ta go off ta fight...tis wot got me even in a slave cell ta begin with 2 weeks ago or whenever it were,..I could of died that day and probably would haf but seems some reason I didn’t...this time ,..Nightfur probably would just go ahead and slit me throat if got de chance."

Rorgan gives an angry grunt. "Fine. I won't push." He says finally.

Scioto is seriously thinking and hisses low

Zork frowns, "Thar be..Braxton..de lad can't be ere' by himself" He sighs and looks at Rorgan, "Maybe ya can let de..abbey know some captives are free..guess Lee wokin' on others ta be free, tell Zinnia I am ok..well alive anyways I..I can’t let me self die, Zinnia needs me"

Rorgan's expression turns soft at the request, and he finally nods. "I can do that mate."

Scioto shakes his head, "Your be in my house, now that’s still under arrest but it's not the jail cell..do you understand badger?" He adds "Two guards at the door and your blade keep locked in safe place, it will be returned when you leave and leave...healed, least healed some, and after that Nightfur is dead and his slavers dead or far far away."

Zork nods slowly "I..understand"

Rorgan sighs, looking away from the beasts. At least he tried.

Scioto nods "Fine.." He walks off to the tavern and lets the guards deal with the badger.

Zork is taken off to the chieftain’s home, placed under a sort of house arrest even if he doesn’t live here, he is still under arrest and he sighs, two guards at the main door…not a fun day.
