He's STILL in his room?

RW Abbey: Zork's Room

This is a good size room and has a large bed with a blue blanket and a couple blue pillows on it. The bed looks like it could easily fit a tall badger. At the foot of the bed is a cherry wood chest that is locked , only the owner knows what lies inside. Beside the bed is a small nightstand with a small drawer and a larger drawer. On the Nightstand are an oil lamp and a wash basin. On the wall is a picture of Brother Zork made from charcoal. And a toolbox is close to the wall, inside is forge tools, and its wise to leave them alone. There is a door that goes back to the hallway.

Exits: [O]ut

Zork is lying on his bed; he did finally eat about half of his food, his lunch not his breakfast that was taken back by a novice. He is awake and just staring at the wall. Also there is an empty mug on the table and a small glass of some water.

A knock sounds on the door, then DoraRose's voice can be heard, saying, "Zork? Are you in here? May I come in?"

Zork tries to act like he is asleep at first, but he figures that will fail so he sighs, "Ya can come in, ya may as well come in" He rolls onto his back slowly so he doesn’t bump his shoulder too much.

DoraRose opens the door and comes in, smiling. "Hi. Are you alright? LilyMoore said that you didn't seem like you were feeling well last time she saw you." She goes to sit on the side of the bed.

Zork shrugs, "I..could be better. Not been outside me room since yesterday afternoon." He looks over at the corner of his room where the chair was placed and sighs looking away from it. He build the thing and seems to suddenly dislike it for some reason. Before he was like oh look at this and oh it does that, now he rather not look at it.

Dorarose asks “Want to talk about it?”

Zork doesn’t answer at first and then has a seriousness in his voice, “Do you think I am…not very helpful or inna de way?”

DoraRose goes to gently hold the badger's paw. "I don't think so. You're no more in the way than Oz, or my Nana. Do they seem helpful to you?" She is still looking at him with compassion, and the love of a friend.

Zork answers "Your nana knows some very good healing...and Ozzy be de dibbun caretaker. I am supposed ta be de blacksmith and even after me shoulder feels better I will still have some troubles. Me legs get sore from too much standing or like walkin' and when I fell I could of been much more seriously hurt had de forge been on...it wasn't but that’s not de point." He looks down, "I use ta be able ta do different things and now..I can't and I CAN'T lift some things I could before...I couldn't even help Flicktail de other day, I feel so worthless"

DoraRose stares at the lampstand, smiling sadly. "But you're not worthless. So long as you have even only 1 friend to comfort, you will /always/ be needed." She looks down at her lap. "Did I ever tell you that I once considered leaving Redwall?"

Zork looks back over at her and shakes his head "No..ya never did. Why would ya its good ere' and ya have ya family ere'......I use ta be a wanderer but I knew Ozzy needed me so I stayed, we did have an argument..a rather bad one but we then forgave one another and I stayed ere' and even became de blacksmith" He smiles at the memory. "I would never leave ere'"

DoraRose sighs. "I felt that it was my fault that Vladmir Stormfeather had come to take over Mossflower. I thought he had followed me here and that was why so many creatures were kidnapped and killed and put in danger. I thought that if I left, he would too. But then my friends convinced me to stay, and I'm glad that I listened to them." She looks at the badger and smiles. "Friends are beyond important. You never know when just being a friend could save somebeasts' life."

Zork nods "I am glad ya stayed too. And ya right friends be important ta have...and helpful too" He looks at the chair and frowns, "I am gonna end up using that thing a lot but I don’t really want ta"

DoraRose looks at the wheelchair, too. "I'm sorry. But at least you have it finished, right? Why don't you show it to me? Nana said that you made it very...unusual." She then chuckles and adds, "Actually, what she said was something like you've added a bunch of useless nonsense onto it that no sane beast would be willing to admit that they wanted."

Zork chuckles a little, he slowly sits up and holds his shoulder. His shoulder is swollen still as he stands and limps over to the chair, his cane is by the wall as he shakes his head and sits in his chair and nods. He shows how the levels make it go up and down and grins a little. "Like it..makes me still able ta..work de forge some..." He nods to one arm, a small area sank in "Holds me ale, hee heee" He points to something new on the back, "Holds me cane, very useful as will still need ta stand or maybe go a couple feet or..maybe" He leans back in the chair and holds his shoulder some, "Shoulder hurts still some"

DoraRose chuckles at the slightly ridiculous sight of the various contraptions working, then says, "That is a funny and wonderfully useful chair you have there, Zork. You are so creative and imaginative." She stands as she adds, "You will never be worthless as long as you use your talents for good."

Zork smiles “Thanks fer de talk Dorarose, think I may take a wee nap.”

^^ Zork takes a nap after Dorarose leaves and gets a good few hours of needed sleep. ^^
