Is that a memory I detect? (Bolts of Chaos TP)
FV:Chieftain's Home:Main Room
The inside of the home is large, a door leads to the sleeping quarters and another to a kitchen area. This room has a large window looking outside with nice navy blue curtains on it. The floor is wooden and a large fireplace keeps the room warm in those cold months.Above the fireplace is a large painting of the Chieftain and his mate.In the room also is a table and a few chairs to sit in.A large bookcase is by a far wall with many books of all kinds on it.
Exits: [Bed]room, [K]itchen, [B]ack
Friends: Scioto the cat. Ferdinand the ferret and Blisa the cat.
Scioto has returned and looks around his house slowly trying to get a feel of the place and get some sort of memory to spark, he doesnt have the bandage on his head any more but still has the one on his upper arm and one tight on hidden under his tunic, he sighs and sits down on the soft chair in the room.
The door creaks open, and Ferdinand peeks in. He and Blisa followed Scioto home after a few days stay at Redwall. He coughs slightly, hoping to get the Cheiftan's attention.
Scioto sits motionless almost not responding right away and then finally looks at the doorway, "Greetings, you can come in if you want" He speaks quietly waiting for a response.
Ferdinand sighs. "Thir, Blitha ith rfuthing to come in. The'th afraid you won't like her anymore. I can't talk any thenthe into her. And I can't leave her by herthelf outthide...the liketh to ethcape. And I have no idea why. The jutht doethe." he sighs again and rubs his eyes in a tired manner.
Scioto listens, "Tell her to enter, she needs to be inside where it's safer and why would I dislike my daughter, thats odd talk."
Ferdinand wrinkles his nose and shrugs. "I tried to tell her that, but, noooo, the wouldn't believe me..." he goes back outside and has a mildly loud conversation with the kitten. It's loud enough for Scioto to be able to tell neither of them are exactly happy, but not loud enough for him to able to tell what they're saying. Finally, the door reopens and the ferret enters all the way, carrying Blisa, who is sullenly staring down his back and fiddling with his cloak hood.
Scioto watches as they enter and sighs, "Blisa?..Dear are you alright? Were you hurt any the day of the accident?" He waits on an answer to the question as he slowly stands feeling better after being able to rest a good amont.
Blisa sniffs and mumbles, "What accident? And, no, I'm not alright. My Daddy doesn't remember me or Mother or anything." Ferdinand sighs again and tells his boss, "The'th uthually not like thith. I think the might be deprethed. Thorry." He goes to put her down on a chair, but the kitten clings to his cloak...with her sharp little claws. Thankfully they don't reach his skin. That would've been painful.
Scioto frowns "I am your father, and the tavern explosion, that I..don't remember too much of, mainly afterwards..look sweatheart it will be alright, I am home now and..thats good right?"
Ferdinand manages to untangle the claws from his clothes and straightens up, sighing again. He mumbles something abotu food and enters the kitchen to get some. Blisa sniffs again and looks like she's about to cry. "Yeah, I guess so..."
Scioto is unsure what to do, so he walks over and bends down and slowly hugs the kitten, a few tears going down his face as he hates not having his memories.
Blisa does start crying and wraps her arms around his neck. "Why did th...that creature d...d...do tha-ha-hat?" she sobs, squeezing him tightly.
Scioto holds the kitten close as he closes his eye, he sighs "I don't know,just don't know, guess he didnt like me, the basement, well thats gone saved me..." He stops as he remembers the small crawl space and the smoke, heat of the fire and stuff caving in, he tenses up going to a bit of a trance like state maybe as he shakes his head and then tenses up alot suddenly
Blisa backs up, tears still flowing down her face. "What's wrong, Daddy? Why are you all tense?" she gently tugs his sleeve, to make sure he heard her.
Scioto takes a couple deep breaths and is shakeing a little, he swallows a little, "i..I need some water.." He says and clsoes his eyes and opens it again, " It..missed but..didn't miss, floor caved in then..the tunnel,smoke and.."
Blisa quickly moves to standing on the chair arm and tries to tug her father into sitting on the chair. "Ferdy! Bring Daddy water, quick!" she hollers desperatly, then shouts a quick, "Please!" 'cause she had forgotten it. The ferret rushes back in, carrying a cup of water. Kneeling beside his boss, Ferdinand holds out the water and mumers, "It'th alright, Thir. Here, drink thith. Are you remembering thomething? Tell me."
Scioto sips the water after he takes the glass of water, he frowns "Just..a crossbolt, it was on fire, hit the ale and...the explose."
Blisa is obviously confused. "What's a crossbolt?" Ferdinand glances at her, then returns his attention to Scioto. "It'th the bolt from a crothbow. One of the guardth in my fatherth' village had one. Very rare weaponth. Take a horribly long time to reload. Not really worth having. A real bow ith fathter. But do you remember anything elthe, Thir?"
Scioto frowns and shakes his head "I am..sorry, and the..can't remember the face either, just seeing a bolt in the ale and it exploided, was after that I was..under ground or somewhere and the river where the squirrel found me"
Ferdinand shrugs. "At leatht you remember thomething. It'th a thtart. Come on into the kitchen. I'm cooking thupper." Blisa nods and wraps her arms around Scioto's neck. Hope has returned to the kitten.
