Caught in a Storm
Honeyfern is in the woods, they are fairly close to the abbey when thunder booms loudly and the haremaid even eeps a little and frowns "Wasn’t bally well looking for this little lass"
Kiara whimpers, she drops her wildflowers and looks ready to bolt, as lightning strikes a nearby tree she does bolt and slides and about crashes into a large rock. “Want daddy!"
Oz grumbles, he is just about to step onto the path back to the abbey when he hears the dibbun 's cry and starts to make his way to them, seeing the lightning hit the tree he frowns, least the now pouring rain puts the fire threat out.
Honeyfern frowns and goes to get Kiara, "Kiara sweetheart don't run, " the fire may be out but the branch was still damaged and the wind and rain make it fall towards the dibbun, Honeyfern gasps. "Kiara!" and rushes forwards but is too far.
Kiara looks up and cries, she goes to get out of the way and trips, she whimpers as it pours more.
Oz is not too far, he dives to grab the dibbun and oofs as the large branch hits his lower leg, getting a tighter grip on the dibbun hare he holds her close as he falls onto his side, he goes to try and move his leg but its pinned under the branch, well better him than the dibbun, he looks at Honeyfern, he sighs "Get the dibbun somewhere," he looks around to get his bearings in all the rain.
Honeyfern frowns and goes to pick up Kiara "But which bally...yikes!" A loud thunder clap and more rain and lightning, she frowns "Way.." she walks over to him and sits down the dibbun and goes to try and move the branch or the badgers leg "Cant bally well let ya stay here sar."
Kiara clings onto Oz and sniffs, hiding her face in his tunic and shivering as she is wet, cold, and afraid.
Oz sighs and gently sets the dibbun beside him as he goes to pull his leg free as the haremaid keeps the branch up slightly, he groans as it comes free and looks at it, he shakes his head "Can't tell, think just bruised and sprang." he stands and quickly sits "Oww..Ok we are are not going any where yet." he looks around and sees the hollowed opening of a den on the side of the hill and getting Kiara he limps over there and nods to Honeyfern.
Kiara regrips to Oz and looks around; she shivers and sneezes as they go into the strange den.
Honeyfern frowns and follows "Now what Oz and it looks like more than a darn sprang, wot?"
Oz sighs as he watches the storm, " I don't know, can’t go out in this. Too dangerous and it should pass soon,...hope"
Honeyfern nods as she sighs and sits down, she looks out at the water and frowns. "This den is near the creek...think that will cause a problem?"
Kiara looks around and still has yet to let go of Oz, she sniffs "Daddy..want daddy"
Oz smiles at the dibbun. "It will be alright," He keeps an eye on the creek nearby and back to them, "You may need to get back, somehow. This isn’t the best place to stay too long, could flood."
Honeyfern frowns at the idea of a flood, she looks at Kiara "Hey want to come to me?"
Kiara watches her and then slips over and into Honeyferns lap, she frowns "Daddy, wants.." she sniffs and whimpers as thunder rolls again.
Honeyfern nods "Yeah I know, maybe..we can find him.." she looks out as the rain is slowing some and looks to Oz "Can you walk?"
Oz sighs and goes to stand, he grrrrs as he sits "Will need some help, and more than one, besides the dibbun is under ya care..tend to her and bring back a couple beasts. Best to do it while it’s not raining as hard."
Kiara coughs and whimpers a little, being soaked isn’t helping her any, she curls into Honeyferns arms and shivers.
Honeyfern frowns "Kiara...oh" she looks at Oz and sighs "Don’t move , well duh ya bally well can’t chap, I..I will be back, promise."
Oz nods as he sits, he is wet too but it’s mainly his leg that’s brothering him.
Kiara whimpers.
Honeyfern frowns "I will be back Oz..with someone, wot" she looks out and goes to head off before it pours again, she looks at Kiara and sighs.
Honeyfern leaves with: Kiara
Honeyfern has left.
Kiara has left.
The badger probally sits for about half an hour, maybe little less, when some friends come.
Oz sighs and he sits inside what looks like some den, well was the closest place to get out of the rain, he looks at his leg and frown, since its stopped for the most part and it’s just a light rain now he slips out and goes to stand slowly, he manages one step but the second isn’t as good, he sits down and grumbles, he feels the leg and shakes his head, well could be worse.
Flicktail has arrived.
Silver walks through the trees looking for Oz, when he sees him he walks over and laughs. “Well now Oz look at the mess you got your self in."
Flicktail says, "fer a badja you seem ta be a bit Clumsey Oz"
Oz glances up, "Silver.." He blinks and sighs, "Wasn’t clumsiness...got a dibbun out of the way of a falling branch, just didn’t miss me, got my leg" He shows the area about 1/4 the way up towards the knee, "Don’t think it’s broke or if it is..one of those hairline breaks, I can stand on it it’s just really painful."
Flicktail says, "well ye shoudl ave gotten yer leg outta th way too Oz" he smiles.
Silver smiles. “Well no worry, can be too hard to move a badger!"
Oz manages a chuckle "Got the dibbun out of the way" he points to the branch, it would be a bit too hard to move for just one beast.
Silver smiles. “Well how about we get you back to the abbey, unless you want to stay out here that is!"
Oz raises an eyebrow at Silver, some thunder rolls as Oz looks up, 'Hmms, may try to rain again sounds like and there is a creek nearby so no..not a good plan to stay too long"
Silver nods. “Well than we should get going back to the abbey!"
Flicktail says, "aye it be wet out ere"
Oz nods, he goes to stand again and ends up leaning against a tree for support, he goes to test the leg and grrrrrrs a little, "This is gonna hurt a few days, but if keep off it, it should heal up fairly good."
Flicktail says, "lean on Me Oz oi be the biggest beast next ta ya"
Silver nods. “Aye it should be fine as long as you keep off of it!"
Oz goes to carefully lean on Flicktail, though probably be good idea for Silver to get on the other side of him .
Silver smiles. “Well how about we get you back to the abbey, unless you want to stay out here that is!"
Oz raises an eyebrow at Silver, some thunder rolls as Oz looks up 'Hmms, may try to rain again sounds like and there is a creek nearby so no..not a good plan to stay too long"
Silver nods. “Well than we should get going back to the abbey!"
Flicktail says, "aye it be wet out ere"
Oz nods, he goes to stand again and ends up leaning against a tree for support, he goes to test the leg and grrrrrrs a little, "This is gonna hurt a few days, but if keep off it, it should heal up fairly good."
Flicktail says, "lean on Me Oz oi be the biggest beast next ta ya"
Silver nods. “Aye it should be fine as long as you keep off of it!"
Oz goes to carefully lean on Flicktail, though probably be good idea for Silver to get on the other side of him .
Silver stands on the other side of Oz helping him along...
Flicktail teases Silver ears just to be silly
Silver laughs. “So you are going to mess with my ears now also?"
Flicktail says, "yea oi loikes Hare ears" he strokes them.
Silver laughs. “So do dibbuns!"
Oz lets them help him as they start heading to the abbey.
Flicktail says, "Last season Oz, oi would ave passedout wi fear ta ave yer arms round me"
Oz looks at Flicktail, "Why would you of done that?"
Silver walks along with the two."Not too far from the abbey I think..."
Flicktail says, "Once had a Badja wi red eyes tryinta kills me"
Oz nods "Think told that story once unless this is different and recent"
The three friends make it back to the abbey.
Biff blinks. “Who do you have?"
Flicktail is a sodden wet fox looks much like a drown rat.
With the help of Flicktail and Silver, Oz manages to make it slowly to the abbey, it’s clear his leg hurts as they help him to his chair and he sits down, and yes he is wet too and so is Silver most likely.
Silver walks into the room and helps Oz to a seat, after they get him to the seat he takes of his wet cloak and finds a seat.
Biff laughs seeing how wet the other beast are. “Well wot happed to all of you?"
Moonstone comes into the room from the kitchen, in her paw is a piece of bread, she looks at the ones gathered in the room and just watches them, hood down she is well....just standing there with her emotionless look.
Flicktail shivers soaked to the bone from the rain
Flicktail says, "Oz dropped a tree on is leg Biffer" he sneezes.
Silver laughs. “Well we had to go get Oz from out of the woods and it was raining!"
Oz looks over at Biff and Moonstone as they come in and nods a hello "Greetings.." He frowns "You should get into dry clothing and get a blanket Flicky"
Flicktail says, "it's in me cottage, don’t wanna go back out in THAt stuff"
Moonstone stands there, she looks ready to leave and goes into another room, and she finds a loose blanket and hands it to the fox.. "Blanket at least" she says flatly.
Flicktail takes it gratefully "thank ye marm, and fer the warnin bout the storm...."
Biff smiles. “Well least you all made it back!"
Oz nods "But I will need to stay off the leg for a couple days, maybe more. Don’t think it’s broken at least, but hurts. Well badly"
Flicktail says, "well ya have healer hares here" he says sneezing again cuddling to the warm Blankie.
Moonstone stands there "Wow...I was right,. Why would I not be", she says flat tone, no
Silver smiles. “I don’t think it’s anything to worry about oz."
Flicktail says, "Oi think oi need biff to elp me get warm"
Biff laughs. “Wot do you want me to do Flicky?"
Flicktail says, "well come over ere and warm me up" he shivers even in the blanket.
Biff walks over and gives to fox a hug and laughs. “There feel better?"
Flicktail's normally poofy tail is all sodden and low looks more like a rat's tail.
Flicktail's ears blush and he stops shivering, "oh aye that feel NICE Biff"
Shade slowly walks into the room, he looks around, and he gives a few random beasts a strange look. "Err...Hello...Good Day"
Silver looks at the rat and smiles. “Well hello there!"
Flicktail waves to the Rat "ello...it be pourin rain out good thing ya comes in"
Oz looks up as the rat enters, he stays in his seat for now but keeps an eye on the rat.
Biff laughs. “Hope it helps flicky. “She looks at the rat and smiles. “Hello there."
Shade just stares at flicktail. "Gee...it's raining huh?...Is that why I'm wet?"
Flicktail giggles "ooo that be very rat like aye..wont some Tea there Mr Rat?" he says good naturedly, of course he can be he is the only beast in the abbey armed.
Shade just stares at Flicktail. "Sir....my name is not Mr. Rat...my name is Shade"
Oz smiles at the idea of tea "Maybe mint tea, we do have fresh mint leaves since yesterday"
Silver looks at oz. “Where did you find mint leaves?"
Shade stares at the tea, trying to figure out if it's poisoned or not. "Thank you...err...I'll go sit over here". He points to a far away chair...and heads off to the far away chair...that's FAR away from the other beasts in the room.
Biff smiles. “Well Mr. Shade wot brings you to the abbey?"
Flicktail says, "prob just a rat wontin ta get outta the cold rain"
Oz looks at the rat again and to the others "Guessing Honeyfern and Kiara made it back ok then?"
Silver nods. “Aye they did."
Shade thinks for a moment, examining the beasts in the room, to see whether he should trust them or not. "I don't know...I guess I was just...you know, around"
Flicktail says, "rats don’t trust us ye all knows at"
Oz sighs, he is dryer and warmer now, and he decides to just sleep in the large chair.
