Salamandastron: Dining Chamber

• -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Salamandastron *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

This is the dining chamber for the mountain of Salamandastron. It is a

veritable cavern, the necessity of feeding so many hares making the room

so big. Dominating the room is a huge banquet table made of solid oak.

Nobeast knows how such a venerable object came to be here, but its

presence is undeniable. Smaller tables skirt the outside of the room,

each sitting near a large torch burning brightly in its sconce. The chair

at the head of the table is different from the plain maple chairs that

occupy the rest of the room - it belongs to the Badger Lord. The massive

object is graced with a carving of the very mountain it is in, with the

sun setting over the sea.

Celina is eating lunch quietly at one of the tables. Two other hares are with her talking to her as she nods, and they both head off to do chores and other stuff leaving the hare maid on her own.

Baatar makes his way inside and smiles as he sees Celina and goes to sit by her "Hey, how you feeling Celina, I am glad your back I was worried about you."

Celina shrugs “I..guess so,"

Baatar blinks, "You..guess so? I truly was worried you’re my friend and I don’t have many friends here"

Celina answers "Well, guess I won't have to worry about being missing again, my parents are even more over protective now, bet your parents arnt over protective" She crosses her arms over her chest.

Baatar frowns, "Ummm...welll, ya see the thing is I don't have parents and haven’t since I was 3 seasons old or well close to 3 seasons old."

Celina looks clearly surprised "How can someone not have a mom or dad? What happen to them some battle or something? Don't you have other relatives?"

Baatar shakes his head "No, there was this storm and we lived on a boat, was always sailing somewhere along the water. anyway this storm came in the middle of the night and dad tried to get to a clear area of land but the ship crashed into these rocks down shore of the village. I was thrown from the ship and landed in the water. But I could swim even at that age, we all could being..well sea beasts guess could call it."

Celina now looks upset that she brought the fact of parents up and looks down at the floor, muttering a "Sorry.."

Baatar watches her and tilts his head "Wot? Not your fault wot happen, it was the storm...I swam back to what was left of the boat, mom and dad were still on it but they were not moving and I thought maybe they just passed out, I mean you hear of beasts being dead and there is blood and stuff and there was no blood here, but they were dead. Some of the LP hares found me the next day still lying beside them, and they brought me here and helped me recover because I almost died."

Celina listens as he speaks, "Not having parents must have been hard. I be lost if mine ever died. But didn't anyone here like adopt you?"

Baatar shakes his head" No..just random hares would check on me, I would go to meals and I sleep in the bunk room or sometimes in the dibbuns room when I was younger. I learned how to use a dirk some from this one hare, he was nice but he stays mostly in the village now with his family, guess life as a LP hare got to him, don't know."

Celina says, "Oh...well. I am sorry I asked about your parents, I was just curious."

Baatar offers a smile "It’s ok Celina, every has their own family or friends and how they grew up, and that’s ok. A lot of hares cared and still do care about me and keep me out of trouble, taught me things and I turned out ok and am now a recruit in the jolly Long Patrol and maybe one day I will be a fighter"

Celina says, "I am unsure what I want to be. Maybe a healer, or a fighter I don't know yet as I have sort of gotten an interest in healing."

Baatar says, "Maybe you could look at some books in the library to learn some healing or watch in the infirm. A healer is just as important as a fighter or runner is"

Celina smiles “Maybe, I did learn to hold pressure to a wound, and for a couple days I helped in the infirmary and recovery rooms, they taught me how to wrap a sprang ankle and take a pulse."

Baatar nods "Maybe you could learn even more if you so choose"

Celina says, "Yeah if I choose, I still don't know but healing is a little more interesting as I want to help beasts, but maybe not so much in fighting. And maybe if I helped as a healer, mom and dad wouldn't worry so much"

Baatar smiles "I think you would may a jolly good healer"

Celina smiles as he does "You..really think so Baatar?"

Baatar says, "I know so Celina as I am your friend, that is if you will have me as a friend"

Celina smiles “Of course you can be my friend Baatar, I would like that"

Baatar smiles at this as he gets a scone and eats it slowly.

Celina has eaten some already but she does get a muffin, she looks at Baatar "I am glad we can be friends, I need friends..."

Baatar nods as he finishes a scone and gets another "Everyone needs friends Celina"

Celina nibbles her muffin “Yes friends are important, they help one another though things"

Baatar looks around, yep he is board, “So...doing much today? I was already in the training room earlier doing sit ups and such."

Celina shakes her head "No, not really."

Celina finishes her muffin and stands up "Umm..want to go to the crater and look at the view?"

Baatar shrugs “I..guess, I mean sure. The view is not so bad, a little high but that’s good as one can see fairly far"

Celina smiles and goes to led the way to the crater

Baatar goes to follow after a little while, and after eating a couple more scones as the scones looked so lonely so he ate them.

Celina goes on up to the crater, it’s a sunny day after all
