Salamandastron: Library

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

Here lies the collective efforts of a few good, intellectual hares of the mountain. Over the seasons, this room, which was once little more than a storage room, has been converted into a quite functional library, filled with books of all sorts. The room is staggered with bookshelves, all crafted within the mountain, which reach very nearly to the ceiling, with only a foot or two of space above them, in most instances. And, surprisingly, the shelves are basically all full. Apparently, over the seasons, hares have donated books, and books that were previously stored elsewhere have been brought here.

Some books are older than any of the hares alive in the mountain, and, even more, some are nearly as old as the mountain, itself. These sort are usually journals and records - histories of the mountain. In fact, there is an entire section of this, in a corner of the room, which one can only get to by making their way through the maze of bookshelves to that corner, which is quite like a room in and of itself, closed in by walls on two sides and bookshelves on the two others. However, in the center of the main room, there are two tables set, and upon these books like, some open and some closed, despite the efforts of the librarian hare to keep them on the shelves.

Zinnia is looking around the halls and rooms as she frowns, she is still new at this whole watching and caring for a dibbun and is worried when she can't find him, "Xander? Xander where are you at?" She looks around the library slowly, can't be too many places to hide...right?

Xander has managed to climb onto one of the shorter shelves and looks down at the other badger. It seems climbing is a great fun skill to him, his claws find little holes and edges as he watches her pass and manages a giggle.

Zinnia happens to hear the giggle and look up and gasp, "Xander!..Get down from...I mean wait your get hurt..." Ok don't panic she thinks to herself.

Xander frowns and manages to slowly get down and jumps the last few feet in front of her and then goes to hug her "I am down now...sorry I like to climbs"

Zinnia nods "I..notice and you shouldn't climb it worried me, I am responsible for you and..well I may even be taking you back to Redwall with me when I head back home."

Xander nods and tilts his head "What..Red..Wall?" Of course he is curious and wants to learn what he can."How far is it? Is it on the big water somewhere?"

Zinnia smiles "It’s a good place in Mossflower and it’s my home and maybe it can be yours also. I am sure you would like it and you could meet Uncle Zee and Uncle Oz too, they would like you I am sure"

Xander smiles large "I go..wanna go with you. Wanna stay with you all times" He goes to hug her again, he has gained a lot of trust towards her and slowly towards others.

Zinnia smiles "Well you may get a chance I was thinking of adopting you Xander."

Xander winkles up his nose "Whats...dopted?"

Zinnia says, "Well it means you would be my son and I would...." She stops here as if realizing this is a major thing but she smiles as she feels ready, she was meant to find and help this dibbun, "You would be my son and I would be your mother"

Xander smiles again, that sounds like a good plan to him as he hugs her, "Ok...mommy." He says simply "Love you mommy" Yep sounds all good to him.

Zinnia watches him and returns the hug, she ruffles his head fur lightly and just smiles, well this will take time to get use to, but she is sure things will be just fine.
