Keep An Eye On Xander Please

Along The Dirt Road a little bit north of the abbey past the clearing is where this happens or least starts and then ends in the Great Hall...Zee helps a lost dibbun and then finds out just who's dibbun that happens to be....==

Zee walks up the dirt road, a walk ever so often is good and he doesn’t always like to be around a lot of others inside the abbey. The food is good yes, but he likes his tea and ale mix and can’t really have it much at the abbey. A walk is also good exercise and he has his special staff with him, the one with the hidden raspier.

Xander is usually not out alone; he is lost and just happens to come upon the road out of pure luck. He has small cuts on is arms and legs from thorns and his cloak is still slightly damp from the fall in the cold river. He still seems fairly alert for one his age.

Zee has yet to see the small badger, he walks along at a slightly slow pace, alert himself as one never knows what is around the road anymore. It’s not always safe along the road, starting in late afternoon as it is now.

The smaller badger is being watched by a lone figure, a ferret by the looks of it, they grin and pull out a cutlass “Are we out and..sooooooooooooo alone?” He smirks” I can make sure you’re not alone not alone anymore though”

Xander backs away from the ferret”Go way, you creepy.” He looks around for something, a tree maybe but any good one to climb is a little ways down and to the left on the road and so he starts bolting.

Zee looks up ahead and blinks as he sees movement up ahead and tightens his grip on his staff slowing his pace a little more

The ferret starts to run after him “Back here brat I will show ya creepy ya stupid little stripe dog!”

Xander screams and gets a fairly good size stick and swings it at the ferret “Leave me alone!!!”

The ferret is hit in the snout and then the left check as blood forms “WHY YOU!” He swings and misses causing him to growl low. He then goes to swing again and this one more focused.

Zee may be old but he is still a warrior, a protector and when he hears a scream he rushes forwards gaining some of that needed speed to help someone. A click and sound of metal and his blade is out blocking the ferret’s “Lo….do back off vermin”

Xander ‘s eyes widen when he sees Zee and goes to get to the other side of the road and watch from a distance.

The ferret glares as the blade is blocked “Ya interrupting me old fool, wait ya turn”

Zee narrows his own eyes and then uses the top of the blade, the very hard bottom of the staff and goes to whack the ferret upside the head, “Rude beast”

Xander watches from the side of the road, he sits down and sneezes, most l likely from the still wet robes.

The ferret is knocked out cold and slumps to the road, well…..he needed a nap anyway right?

Zee wipes the blade off and sets it back hidden into the staff and looks at the smaller badger as he walks over “Wot do we have here then?”

Xander just reaches up looking tried, a little sore maybe, like he been crying and is probably hungry as well seeing as he been separated from the others most of the day now.

Zee blinks and lifts up the dibbun carefully “Ok..let us get ta Redwall, see if we can do something kay…ummm?”

Xander just nods, he is tried but he will eat something first most likely before he sleeps.

RW Abbey: Great Hall

The Great Hall of Redwall Abbey. Countless paw falls have echoed from these stones, and untold numbers of feasts and merry gatherings have been held here. A table, not nearly so grand or large as its predecessors, but quite functional for mealtimes, rests near the center of the hall. Chairs exist here aplenty, and they are all of a matching set. High above, the stain glass windows give the Great Hall a beautiful appearance. The glasswork is exceptionally done, crafted by a skilled artist. The floor is clean and swept. A fire is kept burning in the fireplace at almost all times of the day and night, and there are several more comfortable chairs and cushions set up here, of varying sizes. One looks large enough to easily accommodate a badger.

The Tapestry hangs proud and tall, and while the rest of Redwall may still bear the scars of natural disaster, this most famous of Redwall's relics remains unharmed by beast, time, or the elements. The figure of Martin the Warrior seems to be watching over his own with an unchanging, kindly gaze.

Soft light is slowly beginning to filter in through the stained glass windows high above your head.

Exits: Abbey's [Li]brary, [K]itchen, [C]avern [H]ole, [B]reezeway, [En]try, [Stairs]

Zee walks into the abbey and into the great hall, he looks around seeing not too many around right now he sits Xander down on one of the softer chairs and looks him over. “Wait here lad" He goes to get something form the kitchen and returns with some scones, juice and bread"Ya hungry maybe?"

Xander still has some cuts from the thorn bush he found and being lost he skinned his knee. He nods and when handed the snack he will finish it and yawn. Tried, maybe too tried to really talk much.

Zee watches Xander and even gets something to clean the cuts and scrap with, "Well this is interesting. But wot were ya doing by yourself lad?"

Xander frowns" Cause the beasts with the smoke came and then...climbed tree and fell in river and then got lost" Yes he can talk and a lot too. "I get separated from others."

Zee tilts "Others? What others and smoke?"

Xander curls up in the chair, "They look like weasels and had grass on them and have smoke on spears...."He sneezes and frowns, looking worn out, then you be too if you got lost and made it this far alone from the river bank.

Zee hmmms and he tries to think, ok he has no clue who that may be and he usually hears things from a lot of beasts, well no answer to that one."Did these...strange weasels take someone?"

Zee hmmms and he tries to think, ok he has no clue who that may be and he usually hears things from a lot of beasts, well no answer to that one."Did these...strange weasels take someone?"

Xander frowns and looks ready to maybe cry, ya crying dibbun!

It’s then someone does answer"Yes they did and they are the Flitchaye" He is in his traveling cloak and a couple surprise beasts followed him inside, yeah ok so he got a ride from Thunderwing so what no need to freak out. Its Brother Leon.

Zee blinks "The who what?" He then arches an eyebrow "Leon?" Then the who is captive is connected as he frowns and runs a paw along his staff, one word"Where?"

Xander gets a bit more awake when he sees the mouse and goes over to hug him carefully, at last a familiar face.

Leon allows the hug and smiles "Hey you’re ok, I am glad." He looks over at Zee, "This is not something that can be rushed into with your blade staff thing. I...may be able to them, if it’s the same tribe I...well ran into some seasons ago, but I didn’t get a good look at the chieftain."

Zee folds his arms over his chest" You? And shouldn't you let someone else know ya be back...say Benar maybe or someone. How would you solve this...and alone too by the sounds of it."

Xander looks between them, he doesn't know anyone else in this whole place so he just lets them chat.

Leon sighs "Because...I saved the chieftains son once, I can talk to them and he said he would not have harm come to me or anyone with me." He has a blue sparkly stone, “And this would proof I am who said I was...his son though may be the leader now. But trying to rush in or sneak in could get friends killed or us killed they are not the friendliest group around."

Zee sits and rubs his forehead "And this...son of this chieftain..wot if he decides ya not a friend no more, then wot?"

Xander goes to climb into Zee's lap and looks very tried, he might not know him but this is another badger and he seems to connect with other badgers faster than most and feels safer with them also.

Leon frowns "I don't know...either way I am going back out and I do have Thunderwing with me. Benar can find out I am back later..just don’t want beasts thinking I was back only a day or two before something happen maybe"Ok he is unsure of the weasel group leader," Just keep an eye on Xander....Zinnia adopted him and will be happy to know he is safe. I need to get Zinnia,Dorarose and Stonepaw back here safe." He starts to leave.

Zee sighs "Fine...who be Stonepaw?"

Xander yawns and snuggles into Zee's lap more before falling asleep.

Leon says, "He was the one who had the boat...he most likely won’t stay long but he still needs found now excuse me...I have to get going" And he just walks off to the entry and gets on Thunderwing and…wait he is riding an eagle!!???..Well first time for a lot of things.

Zee watches him head off and sighs more, he looks down at the sleeping Xander in his lap" Glad ya can sleep lad" He mutters, he for sure is not getting any sleep. He sighs and stares at the wall and something bout stareing at a wall puts one to sleep and he naps along with Xander.
