Tarsa-Sargeant, drill Sargeant,Fighter in LP

Ciocan- Badger Lord

Patch-Annoying rat

Some spoofed hares...

Log:

Patch is bored, so bored watching the land slow, yep stopping soon then maybe he can go for a walk, boats are annoying.

The boat does find a place to stop, and the LP camp is likely not too far off from the boat, it usually isn't it would seem.

Ewan has been fine with the boat, and it beats walking and he has maybe even made friends finally and...well less of a chance to run into danger maybe. He carries a couple rolled up scrolls, and the wind manages to make one fly away and land on the back of the boat....lucky it had stopped as he does get the scroll but tumbles right into the river and it becomes clear, fairly quickly, he can't swim at all!

Kenya walks onto the deck just in time to see Ewan fall and frowns, she runs over to the railing and looks down and then to others on deck, there is others besides the rat right?

Patch looks over at the hare and frowns "One of Lord Stripes hares are drowning.....what?" He says "I didn't do it! He made himself fall in the stupid water!"

Ewan panics, not the best thing to do when you can't swim and gets a hold of a floating branch and frowns. Ok hopefully the scroll wasn't important, its ruined anyways now soo....

Kenya just watches Ewan and looks back to Patch and snorts at him."Do something..I don't know wake up dad or is dad on shore marching?"

Patch frowns "The last time I woke any beast they slapped me..."He looks at Ewan and back to the otter "See he grabbed a branch, hes fine...right?" He frowns..a slight panic, of the hare drowns is he gonna be blamed "I didn't do it....stop looking at me like that"

Ciocan has decided to check on the boat now that everyone has stopped for the night. He comes walking up out of the darkness, his brown tunic and pants and mottled grey, white, and black fur helping him blend into the shadows under the trees. He hears the hare's panicked splashing and breaks into a jog, coming up to the bank of the river where the boat is anchored....

Ewan is indeed holding onto a small branch and gulps, ok he can get to shore its not that far away, and letting go is bad as he sinks once and then tries to get to shore failing badly. Guess when they were giving swimming lessons he missed that class or failed it.

Kenya frowns at the rat, she seems to debate on helping and then just dives into the water...least she can keep the hare's head above water if nothing else but the hare is bigger than her so she can't get him to shore alone.

Patch frowns , and then the kid, yeah he is getting out of here before he has a large badger and Sinway after him and is blamed for drownings or worse, "I am.." He quickly decides now is the best time to exit the boat and leave the area, maybe he can tell a couple hares what happen...or crash into someone and shake his head.

Ciocan jumps into the water, having summed up the situation in a glance. Swimming over to the hare, the huge badger goes to carefully lift him and the sea otter onto his shoulders. "Hold on," he orders gently, then swims back to the shore. He won't leave them in the water, even if they don't hang on to his shirt or whatever! When they get onto land, the badger sends the hare who had followed him to run back to camp and get towels and a Healer!

Ewan groans and coughs up water as he is helped to shore, he does indeed hold on and stays laid down and sniffs a little as water got up his nose. He shivers some and frowns, great he almost drowned not the best day "I'm..sorry"He mutters and coughs up a little more water.

Kenya allows some help but she is good at swimming and lets him mostly help the hare as she gets on shore and shakes off some water and looks around "Is he ok?"

Patch had to back off, bump right into ...oh as he backs off "Oh tis..Lord..stripe..yeah..I didn't do it, the hare fell in on his own..and sank like a rock on his bloody own, that hare stinks as a long patrol hare"

Ciocan notices the bump and slowly looks at the rat. "I didn't say you had done it," he states carefully, trying hard to not shiver, himself. "Are you trying to get out of having done something, vermin?" As a little group of Healer hares comes running up, the Badger Lord turns so he's fully facing the spy. "Private Ewan is a good hare. 'Tisn't his fault he is gifted in ways that other hares aren't." His arms are crossed over his chest, and he is positively glowering at the rodent.

Ewan sits up and lets the healers look over him, maybe he will stick with marching after all. He lets a couple towels be wrapped around him and frowns, for now just being quiet.

Kenya walks over "Patch is annoying, he saw him fall in and just stood there.....and didn't even go wake up my dad, or maybe my dad is marching..but he could of woke Rayen or Marek or...someone or yelled help maybe "

Patch frowns and looks at Kenya "Oh shut up kid your making me look bad in front of a very large stri-----"And he coughs a little, a word almost slipped as he looked up..up...up at the badger and chuckled a little "I..see..well I figured the hare lad was fine..ya know....wow your..very tall in person"

As the Healers tend to the wet hare and try to wrap the sea otter up in a nice fluffy towel, Ciocan's scowl deepens. "You will not tell Miss Kenya to shut up, rat. I had my reservations about you vermin....I do hope I wasn't correct about you personally?" He ignores the almost spoken insult, the comment about his height, and the towel a hare is failing to tuck around his, um, waist. He is an extremely tall badger.

Tarsa walks towards the group and stops close by to see what is going on before she speaks.

Ewan sits quietly he is fine just a little cough so they may keep an eye on him"I think I rather..march..sur"He says quietly, yeah lets not risk another near drowning.

Kenya frowns and hmmphs at the rat "Your rude" She says quietly towards the rat.

Patch snorts" Correct about what stripe....Lord Strip..wot ever ya be called..he's your hare not mine to go..help...like I really wanted to go on a boat ride anyways...."He turns around and mutters "Grumble at me...stupid stripedog...."He then seems to freeze, gulp and "I just remembered..gonna find...ummm.....bye!"He then goes to bolt.

Ciocan's nostrils flare, and in one swift motion he goes to sweep the rat into the river! Glaring at the rodent, the badger now accepts the towel and begins to dry off his back, keeping an eye on the dumb spy who basically hates himself. The Healer checking on the sea otter sniffs. "Aye, some beasts don't 'ave any respect, 'tis a fact. But who else can ya expect from vermin, wot wot?" The other Healers are double checking the soaked Private, concerned about his cough.

Tarsa just watches calmly from where she stands, a salute is given to the Badger Lord "Sur.."She watches him throw the rat, well that's nice, she stays at attention and where she is.

Patch thought he could get away and then is picked up "Hey let go ya big over grown...."He then screams as he flies through the air and lands in the river, is he dead?..Nope he resurfaces "This water is cold!!!! argggggggg!!!!! Trying to slay me...I did nothing!!!" He gets to the other side and does the best thing possible, he leaves the area, well they are like a day or two from final camp so...yeah he can walk.

Ewan watches the fly seem to fly and frowns, he looks at the ground and doesn't notice Tarsa just yet.

Kenya sits down from standing and seems ok, just a little upset maybe at the rat telling her to be quiet.

Ciocan smiles grimly. "I'm sure the boat ride will be more pleasant now that that rat is traveling on his own." Turning to the others, he starts rubbing himself more vigorously with the big towel that was brought just for him. Nodding to the Drill Sergeant, he peers down at the sea otter. "Don't listen to that vermin, Kenya. He's just a blowhard and a bully." The Healer hares go to help everyone up and walking slowly to the Long Patrol camp. A Healer stays behind to let Marek and Sinway (if he's on the boat) and the rest know what happened.

Ewan gets up to follow and frowns , he seems to have more on his mind but says nothing right now, least yet he doesn't.

Kenya nods and wipes her eyes "He's annoying anyways.."She looks around and frowns, "We close...close to that bridge and..the abbey, what if we run into bad beasts soon?"

Tarsa follows close to them as she looks around "Then we let his Lordship take care of them"She says quietly, yep sounds like a plan, she is concerned about the horde after all, heck they all are."

Zolomon is at the camp, seeing the group coming back to camp he salutes and grins to them all "Hallo all."

Ciocan goes to rest a paw on the sea otter's back, completely dwarfing her in the process. "Don't take his words to heart, Little One. You are worth far more than how he treated you." Nodding to Zolomon, the Badger Lord turns to Ewan. "You alright, Private?" The Healer hares go back to what they had been doing before, giving the wet creatures (even Ciocan!) strict orders to report to the tent at bedtime!

Ewan nods "I am..ok sur....ummm"He seems to want to speak but is unsure.."Umm...sur?"

Kenya nods "I will try....he is the only...annoying one..Marek seems nice and so does Rayen...I don't know about the other fox..umm Rigel he just talks funny and acts like a look out usually"

Tarsa sighs, she looks at Zolomon "Will you not grin, its..."She stops there, its cute but she isn't saying that out loud.

Zolomon tilts his head "Its wot?" He smiles at her and clears his voice "WeLL Aayways... all seems clear tonight so far"

Ciocan raises an eyebrow at Ewan. "Yes, Private? What is it?" He doesn't seem irritated or impatient or anything. He's just prompting the hare to speak his mind. Glancing at Zolomon and Tarsa, he raises his eyebrow a bit higher, but for now Ewan is the one who has all of his attention.

Ewan frowns and keeps eye contact, that is important and he is good at that at least "Umm...do I have to go...f...f..fight s..sur?" Great lets stutter now in front of his Lordship "The....horde and the...fighting...and...blood would....fighting..."He takes a deep breath to calm himself.

Kenya frowns as she listens to Ewan.

Tarsa sighs, her ears droop slightly she is not sure how to help Ewan and sort of stands there and looks at Zolomon like..do something...now...

Zolomon nods quietly and walks over "Hey..Private E...listen to me..focus chap...calming breaths in and out..your safe and sound with me and Sarge and Lord C....in our happy camp"

Ciocan listens seriously, his face softening to show compassion. He doesn't even correct Zolomon this time. Tapping his chin with a finger, the badger studies Ewan, seeming to think. "Blood and fighting are frightening to you, aren't they, Private? It's understandable, and you can admit it if it's true."

Ewan whimpers and does sort of focus on Zolomon, he looks at the badger lord and frowns..."Its...bad...don't wanna...go....please..."He seems to beg to stay.

Tarsa frowns as she listens and sighs"Private..Ewan...."She isn't sure what to say and looks to the Badger Lord it is his final decision not her's

Kenya says, "Maybe he can live at the abbey...yeah an LP hare at the abbey"

Zolomon thinks "They use to be such a title...been a long blooming time, and before even my grandfather..RW Residential hare keep a jolly good eye on things, gave messages to the Mountain and received them and wot not...told will there was trouble or all was well and such"

Ciocan glances between all the hares, then smiles slightly. "Well, Private Ewan, I think it would probably be best for every beast involved if you stayed here in the camp with Kenya while the majority of the Patrol march on to Redwall. As for a Residential Redwall hare.....we can discuss that with the Abbot after the battle is all over, alright?"

Ewan nods slowly, it was hard enough to ask not to go off and fight

Tarsa raises an eyebrow "Rw residential hare?"

Kenya smiles "Ewan would like Redwall its nice....there is the orchards and the ...."Ok maybe not mention the pond something else ..oh!" The treehouse is cool!"

Zolomon nods slowly to Tarsa "Yes..I wouldn't lie Tar...Sargant Tarsa..."

Ciocan smiles softly. "You were very brave to ask me that, by the way. I could tell you were afraid. Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the decision that there is something more important than listening to fear. Remember that, and you will always be a good Long Patrol hare." He looks around at everybody else. "Does anybeast else have anything else to say or ask before I head off to bed?"

Tarsa shakes her head "No sur....not that I know of sur things do seem fine."

Kenya smiles "Ciocan and Ewan is supposed to go to the healers tent before bed.....and..."She smiles at Tarsa and giggles about something.."And.."Oh say it already "Zolomon likes you, hee hee"

Ewan blinks, yes he heard he remembers things well "Yeah the healers did....."He blinks, yeah he noticed that too"I think she is right on that too and you and Zolomon were dancing on the ship Sargent..remembered and you smiled at him...maybe you like him too"

Tarsa blushes and then hmmpshs, she just turns and walks off, yeah she needs to check on some hares , make them do some extra sits and push ups...cause she is moody now and making the privates do extra sits ups and push ups helps her feel better.

Ciocan blinks as he watches Tarsa walk away. "Oh boy.....okay, um..." he turns back to the ones still left. "I would suggest not angering Sergeant Tarsa. She's a Drill Sergeant for a reason." Scowling slightly, he adds, "Aye, they did say that. I was just, uh, testing you." Sure he was. "Well, come on, let's go and...spend the night in the Healer's tent..." he walks over there, clearly not pleased with this arrangement. He'll stay there all night, alright, but he's NOT going to be a happy camper....

Ewan will follow and shrugs at the otter "I guess...ummmm.."He sees a hare and motions to the otter "She will..need walked back to her ..father yeah...ok good" He then goes to the healers tent"Healers are not...too bad...but don't drink the tea its gross"

Kenya nods as she looks at the hare escorting her back to the boat and waves bye!

Ewan just sits on a cot and sighs, well Lord Ciocan is here so he feels safe and falls asleep.
