Father And Daughter Time

RW Abbey: Zork's Room

This is a good size room and has a large bed with a blue blanket and a couple blue pillows on it. The bed looks like it could easily fit a tall badger. At the foot of the bed is a cherry wood chest that is locked , only the owner knows what lies inside. Beside the bed is a small nightstand with a small drawer and a larger drawer. On the Nightstand are an oil lamp and a wash basin. On the wall is a picture of Brother Zork made from charcoal. And a toolbox is close to the wall, inside is forge tools, and its wise to leave them alone. There is a door that goes back to the hallway.

With:

Zinnia poked her head into the room and then stepped in; in her paws was a tray with some oatmeal and green sap milk, some sliced pear and apples and cheese and bread for breakfast. Two plates of each as she sits it down on a round table and went over to tap her father on the shoulder.

Zork grumbled softly and slowly opens his eyes, he looks at Zinnia and smiles some, “Hey..wot time is it?”

Zinnia smiles and shakes her head “Past breakfast Papa, Friar Lacota is going to start getting annoyed, you missed breakfast twice this week and a couple times last week.”

Zork slowly get up to a sitting position and looks for his walking staff and sighs “He’ll live..” He finds it and gets up, he seems to be having a little trouble today and reaches for the wheelchair.

Zinnia hurries over and helps him, if he allows, into the wheelchair “Papa, are you alright? Do you need me to get Brother Leon or maybe Angela?”

Zork allows the help and then shakes his head once he is seated in his chair, “Tis called being old…” He frowns and shrugs a little “I will be fine Zinnia, just little harder to get out of bed and into bed lately and my legs dislike me a lot more than they usually do but I have no pain anywhere so no worries” He offers a smile and goes to eat an apple slice.

Zinnia nods and sits in an oakwood chair that is keep here “As long as you’re ok, I don’t know what I would do if you…” She stops there not wishing to go on in her thoughts.

Zork places a paw on her shoulder “Zinna…honey, I can’t promise I will always be ok and ya know that. But if something…” Well he goes ahead and says it “If I don’t wake up one morning or I do…die, I don’t want you to ever stop doing wot ya do at the abbey and I don’t want ya keeping ya thoughts on it. Yes you can morn but don’t do it for like months and months..wouldn’t be good for ya health and your need to be there for ya Uncle Zee and Ozzy”

Zinnia hugs her father and nods “I..I know but let’s hope that’s not for a long while”

Zork smiles softly, “I hope tis not for a while either, but you never know when a beast’s time is up.” He eats a little of the oatmeal and then wheels over to a desk.” I want ta tell ya something lass”

Zinnia eats her oatmeal and cheese, nibbling some bread she goes over to where he is “What?”

Zork shows her a key on his neck “Goes ta de drawer here…inside is a Will I wrote, and a key ta a small meatal box on de shelf over thar..” He points to the top shelf on the other side of his room.” Key inside thar goes to a small drawer in de forge, your find another key that goes to a box I had Ozzy keep..and that box has one last key in it that goes to me chest, de one with me blade and armor…Uncle Zee has it, and I want ta pass it down ta ya..weather ya use it or maybe find a mate, had a dibbun and maybe…one day he or she learns ta use it, or ya can just keep it safe ya understand?”

Zinnia listens to all that’s said and nods “I..don’t see me ever learning to use a blade, I mean I know a little but not a lot and being a Sister in the order I don’t know if I would ever learn…and as for finding a mate, badgers are rare around here and who says I HAVE to find a mate…rather like being on my own..well meaning no mate…”

Zork nods and smiles “Hey I never ever had a mate or even was interested in looking, ya do wot ya want with your life, but learning ta use the blade may be good…Uncle Zee can teach ya, also like said you can have him keep de Blade Of The NorthWind Storms safe at his place in Ferravale.”

Zinnia nods and sighs softly, “Can we speak of something else?” She asks quietly.

Zork nods “Course Zinnia.” He goes to finish breakfast and grins “How is the library doing, find any other books?”

Zinnia nods “A couple novices got some out of the attic for me and dusted them off for me also, about 5 books were very damaged and unable to be repaired sadly but another 5 will be able to be and I have spoken with some beasts who may help us ..the abbey get some books, and some of the elders are helping me restore some old logs of abbey history. Some old log books and scrolls I found has some stains but are readable, I keep them in a special place in the library where they won’t be damaged more or looked at, unless like really really needed, oh and some diary logs and things Abbot Lorimis had I have in a special area as well, some things he wanted in the library.” She eats some pear and apple slices and drinks her milk.

Zork smiles “I am proud of ya Zinnia, for restoring de library and helping have old recorder logs taken care of also, and tis be good to have some of Lorimis things thar. That reminds me and ya have ta ask Uncle Zee…thar is some old books and things he has, from Send…or maybe Hyde has some things, when he is able to be found, hee heee…that could be placed in the library, I even have a chest of books, let’s see maybe 5-6, from Send you can place up thar, de chest is in de storage area by de forge…oh and de key is in the non-locked drawer of table at forge”

Zinnia smiles “Thanks Papa and I will talk to Uncle Zee sometime..when it’s safer to travel the roads or if he comes here to visit”

Zork chuckles “Ya never know wot Uncle Zee will do sometimes, come to the abbey or just stay in Ferravale, ya never know he may decide to go all the way back to Send, but he is even older than me and probably wouldn’t make it, so he will probably spend the rest of his seasons in Mossflower”

Zinnia nods and smiles as she finishes breakfast and if Zork is done she will take his plate as well.

Zork is done and lets her take the plates away.

Zinnia excuses herself as she goes to take the plates and glasses back to the kitchen and then returns to the room, “So..plans today?”

Zork grins “Story time for de dibbuns, I promised and they get upset if I forget to, then maybe a nap or something…watch Silverstorm in de forge, ya know basic stuff as can’t do too much anymore.”

Zinnia nods and smiles “I can push your wheelchair to the Cavern Hole if like.”

Zork smiles and leans back in his wheelchair “Led de way “

Zinnia chuckles and goes to push her father to the cavern hole, yes she will take the long way around but that’s ok, she enjoys any time she can have with her father as father and daughter time is ever important.
