Finishing Up a couple things and Making sure Of things...

From Redwall MUCK Wiki


RW Abbey: Kitchen Yard

Boasting a decent view of the Abbey's orchards and gardens, this space is mostly a work area, displaying well trampled grass and the occasional bare spot. An especially worn spot is the path that leads between the kitchen gardens and the vineyards. From one end of the kitchen yard to the other, the space is nearly filled by the tremendous gnarled trunk of an ancient apple tree, roots and branches and boughs trimmed off and piled alongside for later use. A deep groove of mud-churned sod and torn grass leads back to the orchard, from where the fallen tree must have come. There are also a variety of workshops around the edge of the yard, the wood-shop, the cooper for making barrels. The small smithy where the abbey's tools are made, the potters kiln and the brewery.

Zork is doing some very light work, or rather finishing something he has worked on off and on and never got around to finish, he adds some details to a mold of something and smiles as he leans back in his chair. There is not much to making a mold, even if it’s detailed and he HAS worked on it before he just decided to add finishing touches. "Thar" He says quietly, all ya need ta do is fill it with de metal and let it cool and take off de mold..ok?"

Silverstorm watches "Should you really be doin' much?" She nods and carefully takes it and goes to carefully fill. She has become very skilled and steady handed with this kind of stuff, being careful it takes a while and she uses tongs to sit it aside to cool down, "So..what is it?" Hey she is curious.

Zork watches her and after a while answers the question "Something fer Benar, not ta worry ya will see when it’s given ta him." He slowly wheels over to a desk and the cabinet checking things, making sure all is well and good in the forge before turning to Silverstorm, "Ya been keeping things in order here, that’s good lass"

Silverstorm nods "Of course I have, I know how ta care for the forge ya know. I even finished a couple rakes for the fall, that’s fairly ...well it’s soon enough"

Zork nods and grins " I know..I know, I trust ya with it. Thar were just a couple things needed to..finish was all."

Silverstorm nods "Well, just so you’re careful..Zinnia mentioned the..umm woods, you seem to be feeling better now...right?"

Zork frowns slightly "yeah the woods, let’s not worry bout that right now and I be better than I was" He sighs as he studies the forge.

Silverstorm asks, "Well everything is fine now, right?"

Zork nods slowly "It will be fine..I’m sure."

Silverstorm nods " I hope so, I need to go get some stuff at the market up the road, I will be back later"

Zork smiles and nods "If ya need any iron ore or such, or anything for de forge find me friend Kay, I did send a message ta him on something and on ya takin over de forge."

Silverstorm smiles "Ok, will do, talk later" She then hurries off wanting to get things done before dinner.

Zork watches her go and then wheels off to where his Uncle Zee is and sees he is leaving “Uncle Zee..wait” He doesn’t yell, or least tries not to.

Zee sees him and walks over, “Shouldn’t ya be resting boy, after..after the other day, ya scared me and ya scared ya daughter as well.”

Zork frowns “I know, I know…but I was not thinking on gee this is a bad idea, I was thinking gee my daughter is about to be killed by an insane ermine and I can’t let that happen..” He frowns, yes he is stressed and it’s not helping him as he catches himself before he lets something happen that’s not in a long while, losing his temper. He takes a couple deep breaths and frowns, “You have ta promise me, ya will keep her safe and ya self, as well as Ozzy.”

Zee watches him concerned, “I will try my best boy, tis more you or me he might be after. Besides..” He pats the staff he uses for walking and winks “Secret weapon remember.” He then hugs him, “I’m going back ta Ferravale, I had not planned on seeing ya again but I am glad I got ta Zork. And try not to worry Zinnia will be safe..even if I have ta make sure of it.” He then nods and turns to leave, it’s most likely the last time he will see his nephew alive as he rarely does visit the abbey, he heads on back to Ferravale.

Zork hugs him back and watches as he heads off, he then decides to head off to have a late lunch. Later he will most likely get work back from Kay. he had asked his friend to help him with something for his Uncle Zee, for now lunch awaits.
