Happen in the kitchen yard area

Leon is walking around the abbey, sometimes walking helps one think when they have things on their mind, which he does.

Thorn is bored, not much to do today and she is not getting any ideas for what to make out of clay today, she looks up as she sees Leon "Ello Brother Leon!"

Leon stops and looks over, he goes ahead and walks over to the rat maid, "Hey Thorn. What are you up to today?"

Thorn says, "Not much, how are you today by the way someone said you were gone for a couple weeks"

Leon answers, "I could be better and yes I was away for a couple weeks and am glad to be..home."

Thorn asks, "Where did you go?"

Leon says, "To my old village, a quick visit and it helped me get over some issues in my life"

Thorn nods, "Did you go with your dad, or does he still live in the woods?" Ok she is curious.

Leon frowns, "He..died. That’s one reason I went...my longtime friend Angelo requested me to be there and so I went, with Dorarose and an eagle I knew from long time ago. My father left me some things and I even got to help decide who would be best to lead the village as he has recently became leader again."

Thorn looks down, ok bad question, "Sorry..Didn’t know he died. He seemed nice, is it ok to ask what happen?" She waits for a reply.

Leon nods "Its fine. He had some hidden wound like..inside, some damage to his lungs maybe..Angelo thinks a small bit of a rib bone..maybe " He shrugs "He had some trouble breathing and Didn’t really say much and went back to the village to, I guess, work out past mistakes...anyways there was a flash flood from all the rain and the lower valley was flooded, he helped a lot of beasts save their homes and saved some lives also. During one bad storm he got injured, it Didn’t seem too bad at first but later it got worse and...he died." He frowns "He also wasn’t in the best health on top of it...so"

Thorn says, "Sorry...you gonna be ok?"

Leon nods and smiles a little, "Yeah..I have Dorarose and my two dibbuns and my friends here to help me"

Thorn walks up and hugs him, "I'm your friend...right?"

Leon smiles more and chuckles as he returns the hug, "Yeah..yes you are"

Thorn smiles as well "I am glad cause friends are important to have"

Leon says, "Yes friends are important to have, not sure where I would be without friends"

Thorn ohs as if she forgot and looks around finding a sort of small almost rectangular shaped item that is sunk in a little and a clay made item, like one to maybe crush something into powder “It’s something to crush herbs in and make pastes when needed and it’s a little deeper...sorry, but then again you can maybe mix like more than normal in case its needed."

Leon takes the items and smiles "Thanks Thorn, they will come in handy, I could keep them in my pouch I keep with me."

Thorn says, "Your welcome...your always prepared arnt you?"

Leon nods in reply "Yes, in my pouch is bandages, now the items you gave me for crush or making a quick paste of herbs, also a healers knife, some sewing thread for wounds and a needle. Also some cloths, a couple small vials and even keep a couple packs of already mixed herbs for like Dorarose's allergies if needed and a couple other common needed packs also for around the abbey or outside." He shows the surcoat of many pockets and colored threads of different knots, "All kinds of herbs, in an ABC order and some in easy to reach areas, I know where all are and just this morning restocked, I also have a couple inner pockets where keep not so great herbs or those that can harm..to keep outta the reach of others."

Thorn asks, "You mean like poisons?"

Leon nods "Yes...but there is one or two that a small tiny drop can help save, yet more than a drop of the same could kill also, so takes a skilled paw and used in very rare times.I also keep some flint in one pocket and when I am outside the abbey I have a dagger, for self-defense only when needed times, and yes I know how to use it and my friend Angelo even helped me refresh some skills, I am not so good I would be good for like a major battle or some very skilled vermin, but some others or one not so good with fighting, yeah. But also I would aim to wound at first, not kill. I can also and have, knocked out a vermin before and quickly left."

Thorn nods as she listens and chuckles at a thought "Brother Leon..the walking infirm..hee hee"

Leon chuckles at this "I suppose I am, but I like to be prepared. One never knows when a healers skills are needed or where and I won’t have to waste time getting things needed, yes may be a time I may have to find something else for say a broken bone..like sticks or wood flats to make a splint to set the bone. Or maybe I have to do something that requires more serious work like right then and there or the beast could die. Luckily I never have had to do that yet, I have done a..surgery once, only once, someone taught me of this mixture of powerful sleeping herbs the Flitchaye used and they used them to keep a beast in a like...faint for a while so they could help them better and hopefully it wouldn’t be nearly as painful to them, one never knows may be a time seasons from now where healers can help a beast like that a lot better."

Thorn shrugs "Never know"

Leon says, "Either way like said its very good to be home"

Thorn nods "I am sure others are glad your back also"

Leon asks, "So anything much happen while I was away or I need to know of anything important?"

Thorn goes to think and then replies " Not TOO much. Brother Zork has an apprentice now and is using a cane like..a lot and making this like wheeled chair. Umm..let’s see, there is Rayen and Flicktail, who may get married I don’t know. Not much else that’s major just normal abbey stuff. Oh..oh Friar Lacota has glasses now, Brother Zork made them so Lacota can see now" She smiles as she finishes .

Leon nods and hmms "I will have to speak with Zork, I know he wanted to talk before I left and I sort of brushed him off, then I had just got news of my father. And I am glad Lacota has his sight back, I figured it was temporary most likely...he will most likely need the glasses the rest of his life, maybe even have them changed in a few seasons if needed"

Thorn nods "He is usually in his room, at the forge with Silverstorm...his apprentice, she is a sea otter, or in the cavern hole. He hasn’t done anything with that wheeled chair yet though...well used it that is"

Thorn says, "OH and he meditates a lot"

Leon nods "Ok, thanks for all the info"

Thorn says, "your welcome"

Leon smiles "I should get to the infirm, and find Zork so me and him can chat" He then heads off to go do just that
