Be There For Your Son..

Anomen looks up as a novice taps him on the back and motions him to the infirm, so he follows...

Leon sits at a desk and drums his fingers onto the desk; he was never good at telling a beast bad news. He looks over at an empty cot and frowns and looks back at his desk.

Angelo is nearby and sighs, “I can tell the lad if you wish Leon, we can not always help beast.”

Leon nods “I know that Angelo”

Anomen walks in and tilts his head “Some beast wanted to see me…” He looks and frowns “W..Where is Treesong!”

Leon stands and looks at Anomen, “First calm down, this is still an infirmary even if there is not too many here now”

Angelo frowns and looks to Anomen, “She was moved elsewhere, you can see her if you wish but the news I am afraid is not good. The healers here tried but failed, she was too weak after the birth of the child…”

Anomen reaction at first is shock and then he glares at both of them as he hears this news, “What do you mean sorry!”

Leon goes to place a paw on Anomen’s shoulder “Treesong..she died, I am sorry Anomen. Her breathing stayed so very low and it was like she had used up all her energy, me..Angelo and a couple others healers did all we could to help her but nothing seemed to make her better. She never did wake from the faint .”

Anomen shoves Leon’s paw away as tears go down his cheeks, yes he doesn’t mean his choice of words but its how he is feeling , “I hate you, I hate this place!” He then bolts out the infirm door and to the gates and on out the door to the dirt road before he collapses and starts sobbing.

Angelo quickly goes to follow the squirrel to check on him and frowns deeply.

Leon follows as well and stays close by with a frown of worry on his face “Anomen, you still have your son and he will need you more than ever now. Your son is fine…he is small for a newborn but looks to be strong still..he will need his father”

Anomen doesn’t answer, to him his world just ended or so it seems, he finally looks up at them threw a flood of tears, “I’ll..I’ll just lose him too…”

Angelo frowns “No..we will not allow it, he will live I believe he will but he needs you to help him live, do you understand this lad?”

Leon lets Angelo help Anomen but he stays close by in case he is needed, his herbs with him in his surcoat, yes he is basically a walking infirm.

Anomen closes his eyes like he wants to give up and then slowly opens them as he looks at the hare and Leon and nods slowly, “ I..my son needs me, this I know.” He sniffs “Ekon…he needs to know of Treesong”

Leon nods “We can send a sparrow with news maybe.”

Angelo nods and decides, if allowed, to life the squirrel up and carry him back inside, “Yes..we can send word to this Ekon beast, for now we need to go back inside, rest is needed and healing of what has happen”

Anomen seems to care less rather he is carried inside or left here to lie in the middle of the dirt road, yes he will be there for his son but it doesn’t mean he is any less depressed.

Leon goes to follow, unsure just what to do now, “Ekon is Treesong’s father..but I am unsure where he is as the Gawtrybe,…Anomen's clan now, could be anywhere in the woods”

Angelo nods as he listens “This is true, but I am sure someone knows where to find them and I am unsure Anomen here will be much help, it may be wise to keep an eye on him after such an event.”

Anomen is listening but staying quiet, he lets himself be carried back inside the abbey and looks around as they enter the infirm.

Angelo sets him down and nods to a still figure, it’s Treesong.

Leon steps inside and watches quietly.

Angelo lets the squirrel be alone and motions Leon to exit, “I say we let him have his time, but a guard close by doesn’t hurt”

Leon nods in agreement as a guard is sent to stay close by, just in case Anomen is a bit too depressed.

Anomen is depressed yes but he knows he needs to be there for his son, he quietly says his goodbyes to Treesong and kisses her on the forehead before he goes over to his son, he smiles weakly “ Hello..Cotasong….a way to honor your mother and you have part of a friends name as well.” He holds his son close as sits in a rocking chair and rocks back and forth, till his son , as well as himself, are fast asleep.
