I just need a few days to me self....
RW Abbey: Cavern Hole
This room is slightly smaller than Great Hall, but still of a size large enough to accomodate a great number of gathered beasts. A large fireplace is set into one of the walls, and there are a series of small tables and chairs near one end for beasts who are eating late, or simply prefer the smaller tables for their meals. Cushions and blankets have been set in one corner. A short flight of steps leads up to Great Hall, and along the walls of the stairs, going both ways, the word 'Redwall' has been carved into the stone.

Zork is heading to the entry with a small backpack on his back.
Rowan coughs a bit "I'm sorry but what rat maid?" He sets his plate at a table before sitting down.
Flicktail smiles widely, "Look at all the beast friends , white one Chap"
Leon says, "Achally her fur is dusty colored, grey and black"
Zork looks over at them, “What bout a rat?" His voice is low and not much tone to it right now.
Flicktail says, "well yes, the RAT Zork..the one who Oakenpaw brought in"
Rowan says, "I know no clue what rat you be talking about"
Leon looks at Zork "Need to talk to you it’s important and the rats name is Moonsong, she is part of Mareks horde"
Zork shakes his head, "I am about to leave, don’t want to talk to anyone lad"
Flicktail asks, "Leave? so that we can be destroyed and you will be safe chap?"
Rowan raises an eye at Leon "Marek you say? One of that lot is trying to get Cera to work for them."
Flicktail says, "Cera would never work for that chap"
Leon frowns as he hears this, he looks at Zork, "Leaving..why, and can you wait please"
Rowan shakes his head "She might, she still thinks your somewhat a bad beast for killing her father, and they offer her money and protection."
Zork shakes his head, first to Flicktail "I am not leaving to be -safe- I have other reasons" He sighs and looks at Leon. "No" he says firmly.
Flicktail says, "Just when we need him"
Leon sighs, "But I need to know what you and..it’s about Oz"
Zork looks away and shakes his head, he adjusts his pack, "You deal with it...goodbye" He quickly leaves.
RW Abbey: Entry
You stand on a grassy sward between two cottages. To the south you see a small, calm pond. To the north lies an open space where the Abbey has its feasts in the warmer seasons. To the east is the Great Hall, a massive structure that rises far above the abbey walls and is completed with large towers that pierce upwards into the sky. The main building is completed with a large, iron banded door that would allow one into the Great Hall.
The blanket of snow is replaced with the vibrant greens of spring. Newly sprung flowers and young shoots dot the path. They hold a promise of color and enhancement. The earth is relatively dry here, and the soil rich for growing, but muddy patches of dirt still can be found. Many Abbeybeasts can be seen tending to the gardens, though some are content with just being out and about, enjoying the warmth of the virgin sun and the pleasent weather. Dirt pawprints are tracked upon the clearing's surface, serving as witness to the fact that the majority of Abbeybeasts are caught up in the "spring fever." Most will will do just about anything, or make any excuse to be outside, eager to watch as spring colors emerge in scraggly clumps.

Leon quickly follows , "Wait!..He may of talked to you more, he is telling me nothing, I think he has some problems with his glasses or vision or something, he has mentioned headaches but that’s all, your his brother he had to of said something more to you" .
Zork folds his arms over his chest, "He told me some things, one was ta get lost basically" He sighs ,"He mentioned bright light hurting him and headaches to me too lad, ok..what else ya want I still plan on heading away from ere'..gots ta think clearly and can't ere'..ya understand?"
Leon listens and nods, "Look, he probally doesnt think this right now, but he probally needs you more than ever right now"
Zork shakes his head, "No he doesnt I tried ta help him and he goes...off on me."
- Dirt Road
Mossflower - Dirt Road ---------------------------
On the east side of the road rises the main gate of Redwall Abbey, a massive, ancient structure of red sandstone that nearly obstructs the entirety of the eastern horizon. Here the road has been noticeably better cared for--ruts and potholes are few and far between, and the surface is smoothed and kept free of cropping weeds. Despite this, there is the sense of a thousand pawtreads beneath your feet, taken by beasts long forgotten. Only the Abbey seems a constant, unchanging sentinel--worn and battered by the elements, but still standing tall.

Leon clearly dislikes having to follow Zork to the road, he shakes his head, “Zork!..Please just stay and talk, I am worried about Oz, he needs to let me exam him and he may listen to you more than me and I am sure others want you to stay”
Zork glares, “Yeah.. what Flicktail just said was very mean saying how oh I am leaving to let them be destroyed…oh he just wants ta be safe and I guess let all you guys not be, he didn’t say it lad but he just called me a coward, no one does that and when he has no idea what I have ad’ to put up with past couple days, doesn’t even ask..why are you leaving? Hey can we talk?..No it’s oh your leaving so we can be destroyed and you be safe….THAT right thar be another bit of proof another don’t want me around.”
Leon sighs. “I will have a chat with Flicktail, a very long one or have Benar do it, tell me your problem or more of it..please”
Zork shakes his head, “Ozzy screamed at me, I just simply asked if he was ok, well maybe something is wrong with his eyes he needed a healer, he says no, I remembered how he had some vision problems after, well Vladmir, how he was inna a deep faint for 2 weeks and after that 2-3 weeks before he was out of the infirm and he needed glasses, he says maybe the darkness of the cell or when he was slapped in the face with de gauntlet”
Leon frowns and nods “Yeah he was hit with a gauntlet, really hard too, he had some swelling around his eye, and some around the other but not as bad, I think he injured before somehow near the eye, he had some bruising, faint but there.”
Zork waits and goes on, “ He said Vladimir hit him with bolas, at least 3 times he thinks and was in the face” He frowns, “That could of effected his vision on top of the dark cell and not havin’ a healer around and he acted like I wasn’t a healer…I have the skills, maybe not a mastery of them like you” Tears go down his face.”I wasn’t in de cell, but I was one in dee rescue party ta find him and when we did I say how he was and..though I were gonna lose him. But he lived and I was happy.”
Leon walks closer and pats his arm “Its ok, Oz is just going through stress, maybe he had keep all those feelings bottled up for so long and had to get them out, sadly at you I am sure he feels horrible about it now”
Zork speaks “What about Flicktail? What he said was a lot meaner”
Leon frowns “I don’t know, Flicktail was a bit off in the infirm too, saying how there was a nasty rat in the infirm and he just sounded far from himself, I will have to ask him who the rat killed or did to get him going off like that”
Zork shrugs, “Look I just needs a few days ta me self, I will be around, even if Flicktail doesn’t believe it, I still want ta help de abbey, I just can’t deal with any more meanness or negative feelings aimed at me right now, they talked of takin’ back Ferravale soon, I can be thar fer the battle or maybe do a little fightin before that”
Leon shakes his head, “Not before, you can’t fight that horde by ya self, even what’s left of it, you would be seriously injured and I don’t think the healers thar will be able to help you at all as most left work for Marek”
Zork pats Leon on the head, “Ya don’t fret bout me lad, I be ok, be seein’ ya in few days then and if not well…either way see ya sooner or later” He then proceeds to walk on up the road to the north.
Leon sighs and looks back to the abbey gates, he heads in not knowing what to do but least he has some more info on some of what happen to Oz and the fact the badger is for sure getting an eye exam weather he wants one or not, he heads inside the abbey.
Zork heads up the road some, he is close to Ferravale and near the g and river, he sets up a campsite, no fire as it would attract attention, and lays down using a blanket he had as a bed and a lighter one to cover up with, he keeps his long blade near him and listens, he lets sleep overtake him and drifts into a restless sleep.
