WHO:

Krisha-Badger Mother

Gorvenalus-Recorder

Matilda- Abbey Champion

Xander-Owner of the Redthorn Tavern and Leader of Mossflower Defenders

Patch-Spy, tavern worker, annoying rat

LOG:

Krisha sits quietly by the fireplace. She got through today with the dibbuns, with the duties she has to make sure the abbey runs fine since the Abbot is still recovering from his fall. She sips the warm tea, tea today it seems and it's supposed to be a calming tea, it's far from calming her.
   
Gorvenalus makes his towards the Badger Mother "How are you doing Krisha?"   

Krisha sips her tea again and then looks to where the Recorder is, a shrug is her answer at first, then a frown before she replies,"How am. I? I get news I think is a sick joke at first and find out it's not, so not doing that great but have to hold things together still as I am one of the leaders here.
   
Gorvenalus frowns as he sits beside her "It was sudden news to hear, that is true." He is quite a while before he speaks again, " I hate to ask but it must be asked where would Ferro be laid to rest?"   

Krisha feels the tears now and takes a deep breath "Ferravale, they.they have a graveyard. It can be a small quiet ceremony. I can also check on Xander while I. I am there..." She takes a couple calming breaths, why.why did this have to happen now?"
   
Gorvenalus pats her on the arm and offers a small smile "I can come along as well. I am sure things at the abbey will be ok for a couple days.You do have beasts to watch the dibbuns, and they should not care if its but a couple days or so. I know Abbot Benar can do paperwork now and is seeing visitors in his room now, though visitors are being kept to a low amount still. Matilda can do some things for a couple days as well"   

"Or stay here Brother Gorvenalus. You do still have some recorder logs to catch up on after all. I can escort Mother Krisha to Ferravale"
Matilda comes into view now as she enters the room. She nods to Krisha and speaks "And 2-3 days off will be good for your Mother Krisha. Stress is not something we want you to have or to become overworked"
   
Krisha nods "I. I wouldn't let myself get overworked but yeah I am pretty stressed. I mean Badger Mother duties, some Abbot duties.always trying to solve this problem or that problem and then my father..." She frowns, tears now.
   
Gorvenalus nods to the Champion "I can stay here and you are correct I do have journal entries to get into the abbey recorder logs. It will not take too long as I tend to keep notes and usually write in the logs once a week as not too much has happened but yes, I will update it up to today, so it's recent"   

The Champion nods "Good and Brother Gorvenalus can preform some of the Abbot's duties a couple days as well."   

Krisha nods "That sounds good. I should only be in Ferravale like 2-3 days. I will also see how Xander is, I hope he is ok with the weather the way it has been and when the storm first...hit"   

Gorvenalus says, "I am sure he is fine, you would know by now if he is not and checking on him should help."   

Matilda nods in agreement "He is correct and some stress will hopefully lift off your shoulders. The ice storm wasn't as bad as we thought it might end up. No damage to the abbey, no damage anywhere in the abbey lucky. I know some limbs fell in the woods and some old oak tree fell close to Ferravale, hmm ms may be good to check on Ferravale and see if they got any storm damage"   

Krisha says, "Yes "She replies "And the Gousim also, if we can that is.Their camp is close to Ferravale, I don't know the way but Xander does. I know they were still building some things a few weeks ago but after that no other news was given"
   
Gorvenalus nods as he stands "I will let Abbot Benar know your be in Ferravale a couple days" He then excuses himself and heads to where the Abbot is.

==Ferravale gates a few  hours Later==

Matilda picked a couple guards to come along as well.Just to be safe. Lucky some Camp Willow otters had come by to visit the abbey, the champion talked them into helping them get Ferro back to Ferravale and they agreed but afterwards they had to get back to Camp Willow.

Krisha had mostly been quiet on the trip up the road and now quietly stood of to the side.She  glaces over at where Ferro was on a stretcher and managed to hold back tears.

Matilda was worried about the badger, normally the Champion was more nervous in Ferravale but she was slowly starting to be less nervous.BUT, it didn't mean she wasn't alert, she was fully alert to sounds and sights around her."Mother Krisha..orders?"

Krisha blinks out of her daze and clears her throat "The village guards can take over from here. A message can be quickly sent to Chieftain Blisa" She seems to have other things on her mind as she heads over to the tavern once inside the gates. Funeral arrangements for Ferro can be taken care of soon.She wanted to make sure someone else was ok, she could not face more heartbreak...not now.

Xander was indeed in the tavern.Sitting in a booth drinking an ale and looking over a list of supplies the tavern needed. He sighs "Patch why can't you go to the abbey and ask for October Ale, is it  that hard of a task?"

Patch frowns "Yes...they don't fully like me ya know but sure...fine"He looks up in time to see company and tilts his head "Errrr...stripy, we have guests"

Matilda stood in the tavern, some beasts moved aside for her and the two abbey guards with her. She seen Xander and slowly made her way towards him.

Krisha was already in the tavern, already seen Xander and rushed to him.She would likely give him time to stand up but that was all before she was burying her face into his chest. And it was there, that finally the river of tears broke free and flooded down her face and the sobs escaped, the whole body shaking sobs one can't control and just have to let calm on their own.

Xander stood and almost fell right back down.He was confused at first then  he saw who it was "Krisha?" He wraps his arms around her and tries to calm her."Krisha..wot..wot is going on,wot happen?" He looked at the Champion with an asking look, a concerned worried look.

Patch backed out of the way "What ever it is, I did nothing..I swear nothing!"

Matilda speaks "Ferro has....he's dead. The healers think it had something to do with him getting stuck in the cold weather for a couple hours.He had a cough and a small fever...but it"She frowned "Seemed to get worse so quickly, no one else got ill.I believe it had something to do with the fact he couldn't warm up very good..I..I don't know."

Krisha replies after what seemed like endless crying "Father responds to cold weather a lot  differently that say me and you and..others with. well..fur."Her face is tear stained "I think he was a lot worse than he..told us, he said he just wanted to find a warm place for a nap and he would be fine, but he wasn't fine and he got worse.His body can't handle even a small amount of cold for too long and I have a feeling he was out  longer than he said too, a...a lot longer. He didn't have anything others would get ill from. Its just a cold ...if me or you or someone else gets one we just complain and drink hot tea or some  herbal mixture and are fine, a lot get a simple cold in colder seasons its hard to escape from and usually recover in a few days and are fine again. Lizards..are different, same for like toads,frogs , and snakes..they get what is a simple cold to us, its like..."She frowns "It can be..deadly...father died, he should of told me how bad he was feeling not just go off to some room and take a nap..a room that wasn't that warm, there was better rooms why didn't he  just..just..."She looks ready to collapse"Say something......anything......"

Xander takes all this in "Ferro...died?He's..dead..? "He keeps a good grip on Krisha and scoops her into his arms and goes to head to his office upstairs,he can lay her on the bed and let her get some clearly needed rest"Patch, update Blisa now please..and Matilda if your not heading back to the abbey right away you can stay in the guest room upstairs here, no charge ok..I will have someone send word to the abbey you and Krisha got here safely."

Patch stands there and listens,he frowns "I..oh course find Chiefie..on that right now!" He rushes off.

Matilda sighs but nods her head as she sits for now, maybe a light ale will help her as she needs one right now.

Krisha feels herself be lifted into Xander's arms and then she lets herself pass out, well least she will get some needed rest.
