After the snake eats the weasel and the Chieftain wakes up... (I think this is Redemption of Marek TP)

This ICly happened after this log: http://rwmuck.limitless.org/rwmuck/content/now-i-know-never-get-sciotos-... that log happened in the morning, so this one happens that afternoon ICly :)

FV:Chieftain's Home:Main Room

The inside of the home is large, a door leads to the sleeping quarters and another to a kitchen area. This room has a large window looking outside with nice navy blue curtains on it. The floor is wooden and a large fireplace keeps the room warm in those cold months.Above the fireplace is a large painting of the Chieftain and his mate.In the room also is a table and a few chairs to sit in.A large bookcase is by a far wall with many books of all kinds on it.

Scioto the cat. Blisa the cat, a rat guard, Valerie the vixen.

Scioto is still sore, but at least he is talking to one of the many guards Blisa usually has around her. He was a bit quiet till just about an half hour ago, "I...don't care just find it!" He holds his shoulder as it seems that's where he is sore, one of two places anyways.

The guard is a male rat, who is subbing for Hank the fox, who has a terrible cold. With a fever. And nausea. The rat gulps and scurries off as only rodents can to find the thing. Blisa comes out of her room, her art bag slung over her shoulder. "What's he supposed to be finding?" She asks, coming up to her father. Valerie the vixen comes out of the kitchen, stirring something in a large bowl.

Scioto shakes his head "That insane mouse that's what." He sighs and sits down in a chair rubbing his forehead, "Sorry just a little moody."

Blisa goes to gently lay her paw on her father's arm. "You mean Irene...I mean, Irinevok?" She pulls out her sketchbook and turns to the picture of the mouse that she drew from ColdClaw's description and holds it out to her father. It is a remarkable resemblance, drawn with incredible skill. Valerie comes over to the Chieftain and asks, "May I put this herb mixture I made on your shoulder? It should cut the pain and any swelling that's there."

Scioto looks at the picture and holds back a hiss but his ears still go flat against his head as he takes a deep breath, "This mouse needs found and forbidden from entering Ferravale again." He tries his best to talk calmly and barely manages to and he still has a bad headache.

Blisa nods, then slaps Valerie's paw as the vixen tries to pull the Chieftain's shirt away from his shoulder. The fox holds her sore paw and glares at the young cat, who snaps her fingers and says, "Oh, yeah, ColdClaw was here this morning trying to kill Marek, but Basil and I stopped him."

Scioto rises an eyebrow "So where is Coldclaw now? In a cell?"

Blisa pauses, and Valerie takes this opportunity to dash into the kitchen to hide. The cat hems and haws and finally just spits out, "Basil ate him."

Scioto blinks and looks speechless, "Wait...he...ate, as in ate the weasel? As in Basil..." He looks off in the distance and finally speaks "Well..." He looks around, wait someone is missing as he frowns "He didn't eat someone else did he?"

Blisa cringes slightly. "Yeah....he ate the weasel. And no, he didn't eat Marek. Or Hank. Or any-other-beast. Marek left to go to Redwall, I think. He took the note I sent telling them that Thorn has been kidnapped. Oh, yeah, I tortured ColdClaw with Basil and he told me lots of stuff we needed to know."

Scioto blinks, "Thorn?" He then sighs "Blisa..it is not good to ever torture any beast, even for info...there is always other ways I believe, maybe some time in a cell or threat of a beheading could work"

Blisa spreads her paws wide. "But...but he deserved it! He's working for the beast who tried to kill you yesterday! And didn't he try to kill you a few weeks ago? He deserved it!!"

Scioto goes to remember, "As much as I feel the need to, at times , do it myself it is wrong and makes one feel your evil maybe. And yes he did work for the mouse it would seem, there was also a ferret there I saw just briefly but didnt get a good look at them saddly, but he was clearly an archer"

Blisa puts her fists on her hips. "I don't feel bad about it. Actually, it made me feel kind of happy..." she trails off and thinks for a moment, frowning. After a few minutes, she shrugs and adds, "But...Dad...how did you not die? Nobeast told me how you managed to not die, just that you almost did."

Scioto still seems unsure, "I had...chainmail on over leather armor. Also this thick journal book in my cloak at the time, I had forgotten about it till it was held up, clearly with the arrow having gone threw it, it was torn up very badly"

Blisa freezes, her eyes wide, then she goes to hug her father, very gently. "I...wow. You....it's a miracle." She looks into her father's face. "Irinevok apparently thinks you're dead. ColdClaw was only sent to kill Marek."

Scioto hugs his daughter back, maybe a little tightly but he knows just how close he came to death.

Blisa buries her face in father's shoulder, not caring about how tightly he's hugging her. She leans on him, savouring their quiet Daddy-Daughter moment.

Scioto smiles "Love you Blisa and I am sorry you got scared"

Blisa goes to give him a quick squeeze. "It's alright. It wasn't your fault. I was mostly furious and worried. Mostly furious." She pulls back some and smiles into his face. "But at least you're safe for now, right?"

Scioto nods "If this beast thinks me dead then...most likely, but I will not hide and not do my chieftain duties."

Blisa sighs and nods. "Yeah, I know. Hey! Can I help you? Or at least sit in sometime and observe? I'll be quiet and respectful. And Ferdinand is an expert archer, so that'd be good if Irene-evok shows up again."

Blisa nods. "Yes, he is. I've never seen him miss the center of the target. He also has a fencing knife." The young cat goes to hug her father again, then goes to get them some tea. Hope fully the rest of the day will be basically uneventful...
