Checking On Someone,Oh Look They Woke Up

--- Its short but good. This happens in a hidden room, where?..Well it's hidden so you don't get to know :P . Happen on night of 4-26-16-----

The hut was quiet, even quieter in the basement. Or was in a basement of a basement? A hidden room with a trapdoor off of the storage area and that’s just how Markalaway liked it.

Zaram stays by the bedside of a stoat. He has rarely left his side for much, he has even sleep next to the bedside. He left once for supplies and that was only for an hour.

Marek has been in a deep faint a good while. Even though he has been given water and liquid soup carefully he has lost weight. His wounds have slowly been healing and a fever he had off and on has finally decided to break and stay going down instead of spikeing back upwards. Today he finally stirs and makes a moaning sound and his eyes flutter open and blink a few times as he focus on his surroundings.

Markalaway looked at Marek as he stirred and looked to Zaram ”DO get the chieftain will you.”

Zaram nods and heads out quickly.

• • • An Hour Later***

Scioto steps down into the room carefully and wags his tail back and forth “This has not been a good past few days and I dislike this choice of place to keep one..secret” He looks to Marek now “Marek?”

Markalaway speaks in his ever creepy voice “The better to be sir…..” Yep, like who in their right mind ever goes too far into the graveyard. Let alone that dark creepy corner…where the dark creepy long path is, to the even creepier hut. No..only the brave and some of them avoid it at all costs.

Marek looks up at Scioto. He looks weak and could easily be defeated by a kitten at this point in time. “This…is not the dark forest.”

Scioto nods “You are right, it is not. Your somewhere safe and Zurrgg being hunted down as we speak. He WILL be found, trust me”

Zaram smiles “Marek zur your awake, Oi were soo woirried”

Marek focuses on the mole and smiles weakly “Sorry to…wait, how am I alive? Wher….where is Zurrgg, what happen?”

Marklaway just sits in his chair, silent and just sitting there.

Scioto snorts and his tail wags “Lately? I wish I knew or I have his head on the tavern wall. And you’re lucky to be alive as some beast found you and got you here where you were tended to. The only ones ..now, who know your alive,…well your looking at them. The Master Healer Jase knew but he was killed by Zurrgg a few days ago. I have guards on patrol and more than one bounty hunter searching for Zurrgg.”

Marek nods, “I am..surprised. I stood by the dark forest gates a long while but something kept me from entering…some unseen force” He coughs “I know not what”

Zaram helps him to drink some fresh water “Try notta talk much zur…” Slipping more into mole speech as he does when he is nervous or very worried.

Scioto nods, “I guess it was not your time to die, but your need to stay here and recover. Zurrgg needs to still think your dead.”

Marek drinks some water and coughs before replying “Yes, then he will not suspect me later on when I am well again I plan on taking him down”

Scioto tail wags, ”You have to fully recover first or least nearly recover before you do anything Marek. Zurrgg is dangerous”

Marek’s eyes narrow “So am I…so am I Scioto or have you forgotten? My fighting skills have not changed, if anything they are better in some ways. I may not be evil anymore but that doesn’t mean I am any less dangerous to my enemies and Zurrgg is my enemy.”

Zaram stays beside him and frowns, he is unsure what to say or do for now.

Scioto folds his arms over his chest “And I am the leader of this village. Its tough enough to keep you hidden, and I rather not add worrying on whether you are remaining hidden so you recover or maybe I won’t have to stretch the truth much if you really do end u dead”

Marek shakes his head “I am not a fool…I know to recover first Mr.Scioto”

Scioto nods “Yes, let’s just make sure of that shall we as I rather this week not get any worse”

Marek changes the subject on account he is rather hungry “Any..any way to get some real food here and drink please?”

Zaram nods and heads off, “Be right back zurs!”

Scioto lets the mole go do what is needed as he dusts off his cloak “I should get back to my office as my daughter may worry where I am. So good day and..”He looks at Markalaway ”Do keep me updated.

Markalaway bows to Scioto and stays silent, this seems to say why of course chieftain or maybe it’s a simple yes.

The mole returns with some ale, bread, fish stew and some cheese scones.

Marek sits up so he can eat his meal. Then they can check on changing bandages and whatever else is needed.

Scioto steps back as Markalaway is a bit creepy”Ok..well I will be in my office” He then leaves as well to head back to his office.
