He Is A Healer, Not A Messenger

Back in the woods to deliver a message, yeah he isn’t too good at that.

Leon carefully walks near the area where the vixen was from yesterday and frowns as he is clearly not finding anything and starting to get a little bit edgy.

Ryiah watches the mouse from where she is and studies him closely, but she doesn’t go to make a move, least yet.

Anomen is tied to a tree and sighs, he looks around himself, he knows Ryiah is around but where is the question of the hour.

Leon spots Anomen and goes over to start to untie him, “Anomen, are you ok? It’s me Leon.”

Ryiah draws back her longbow and notches an arrow as she speaks, “Stop what you are doing and turn around now Leon, and do so slowly so we can have a little chat.” If the mouse turns around he will clearly see the arrow aimed right at him and this vixen rarely misses.

Anomen blinks “Brother Leon, what are you…” He frowns as he hears the vixen speak and gulps slightly, he rather not see anyone die.

Leon instantly stops what he is doing and slowly turns around and looks at Ryiah, staying somewhat calm, “Yes? What is it you wish to speak of, I will listen.”

Ryiah keeps the longbow aimed, arrow in, as she speaks, “My daughter, does she live or did she die? What of Drew? I demand answers or this arrow goes into your heart and this time there is no beast to knock you out of the way.”

Anomen frowns at this, “What does my father have to do with this? And why kill Brother Leon? Your only get yourself in worse trouble Ryiah, trust me you don’t want that.”

Leon nods, “Ivy was treated in my infirm and then moved to safe area of the abbey, she is alive and recovering. Drew is in the infirm, so they are separated as it was thought best to do this.”

Ryiah keeps the arrow aimed, “How do I know you’re not lying, just to get me to release the boy as you clearly just tried to untie him yourself. I could of easily slayed you, and still could.”

Anomen sighs, he listens as the two talk as he isn’t sure how to help, he tilts his head “Look, Ryiah, I am sure your daughter is fine, trust me and trust Brother Leon. No need to get upset, well ok there is need but, there is better ways to do this.”

Leon goes on, “Abbot Lorimis and Elder Benar can hear your side of this, and they will hear Drew's side as well, maybe separate if you wish it” All the time he stays still.

Ryiah listens , still looking unsure. “How can I be so sure? Maybe they will show me if I have someone of value to them. Why did you come and not bring her to me?”

Anomen frowns and seems to hope for the best and that this turns out ok.

Leon frowns now, “Look, it was better to keep her where she is, I can take you to the abbey and even keep Drew away from you somehow, ok. And you can let Anomen go as a show of good faith.”

Ryiah keeps the longbow trained on the mouse, “That so? Well start moving then, I will be behind you.”

Anomen just listens still, “What about me?”

Leon looks at Anomen and the longbow the fox has, “He should come with us, or..least not be left here alone.”

Ryiah growls low. “Sit down!” She orders.

Leon frowns but quickly sits down by Anomen.

Anomen frowns more now, “Ryiah? What are you doing?”

Ryiah growls low, “Making sure I am not fooled! He doesn’t bring my daughter and claims she lives and oh come to the abbey, could be a trap. No..they come to me, deal with it.” She sits nearby and stares at them, yep peeved!

Anomen frowns, great.

Leon frowns as well, wonderful, guess who won’t be getting back for dinner tonight, he sits here now in thinking deeply and leans against the tree, this day now he hates..A LOT!.
