Lorimis Role Play In The Infirm..

From Redwall MUCK Wiki


This happens in the infirm right before sunrise. Lormis walks in to check on Leon and talks with Artie and Silverstorm, then has to order a certain badger to rest, that certain badger being Zork=

RW Abbey: Infirmary


Several beds are lined against the red sandstone walls of the Abbey's Infirmary. An examination table, separated from the rest of the room by hanging blankets, rests against the far wall. Tucked into a small alcove is a sizeable workbench with various containers for mixing and preparing medicinal compounds. Against another wall is a desk for use by the Infirmary Keeper. A curtained off alcove behind the desk hides a locked door to the Infirmary's supplies and linens.

Not being able to sleep due to some loud howling wind and the fact a dibbun managed to get into his room at this early time of day right before the sun rose the abbot is up . After taking the dibbun mole to Oz's room he has decided to just stay up and check on beasts in the infirmary. He walks in and speaks to one of the novice healers on duty.

Artie is also awake and coughs a little. He has been moved closer to the fireplace but also away from other beasts for the time being. He is recovering and that’s good but still has some fluid in his lungs and frostbite on a couple finger tips of his left paw and a sore throat as he manages to sit up to get a better look around the room.
Silverstorm walks in and heads over to Artie when she sees him sit up and stops beside the bed, paws behind her back as she speaks "Hey..there Artie was it? You feeling better?" She looks over at the abbot and back to the sea otter for a reply.
Leon yawns as he awakens and notices Lorimis, "Hello Abbot Lorimis, you’re up fairly early today." He manages a small smile.
Lorimis walks over to Leon's bed and smiles "Yes, I do have times I am up early, how is my Master Healer feeling today?"
Artie blinks and smiles when he sees Silverstorm. "Hey..I didn’t get ta thank you for, ya know, saving me life the other day..thank ya lass"
Silverstorm blushes and nods "Your welcome. I couldn’t let someone be out in the snow like that, that storm was bad"
Leon answers "I am doing better Abbot Lorimis. I will most likely stay in here a couple more days and then slowly get used to, well changes" He looks at the stump where his right paw use to be and frowns now, “But I am sure all will be well...least I hope so."
Lorimis says, "I am certain things will be fine Brother Leon and I as well as others will help you through this. And try not to worry about the infirm as Angela is doing a good job as she has Rayen and Nissaya to help as well. Your job is to fully recover and get well again."
Artie says, "Yeah and I am unused to snow seeing as I lived in the southlands, snow is rare thar as I am so far from my homelands now. I have been looking for a new home maybe, maybe this is it"
Silverstorm blinks "Umm, well maybe I don't know your have to ask the abbot. I live here and the beasts here are very nice" She smiles "I am even learning some skills to be a blacksmith"
Leon sighs just a little and over hears some of the otters talk, "It would not be wise to travel now that winter has arrived, and arrived with force it would appear." He turns back to the abbot, “I am not worried about my infirm Abbot Lorimis, I know it’s in good paws and I know I can get updates of how beasts are doing and whats going on. I don't plan to be away from the infirm too long and can still do some things now, I mean I have to learn as soon as possible to use one paw only now and I have been reading Angelo's journal. He has some things already know on healing different things, but also a couple new ideas and he mentions some herbs found in other areas like in the north and even one in the southlands and an herb from the swamps even. Some we could get through trading maybe if we are lucky enough."
Lorimis nods to all these things and pats Leon's shoulder as he walks over to the otters, "I do not see why Artie could not stay here, weather it’s to have a home or a place to stay till spring. I am Abbot Lorimis."
Artie smiles at the offer, "Really? I can stay here? Thank you, thank you very much sir"
Silverstorm smiles and seems to like the idea of Artie staying, even if it ends up just for the season. “I can show him around once he is able to walk around again."
Lorimis nods "That would be most kind Silverstorm"
Leon sits up just a little, "Artie will need to be in here at least a a few days and take it easy even after that and may be best to stay indoors as the cold air will not be good to breath in still. And since you’re not use to the winter snows and weather it may be a while till you do get used to it." He frowns "Cold air brings up another issue..."
Artie coughs roughly as he replies "That’s fine, I much rather stay inside where it's warmer anyways."
Silverstorm gives Artie a worried look before heading to the door "I have some chores I promised to do and Kadar said he give me a lesson at his forge today and yes I will be careful and be back in time for dinner tonight. Tell Brother Zork I will wear my warm cloak.." She is then off.
Lorimis nods to the sea otter as she exits the infirm and tilts his head at Leon" What other issues is that?"
Leon answers, "Brother Zork, he will not admit it but when he was outside right before the storm hit, think some of the cold air affected him. He said and I got in confirmed him and Silverstorm did have a place to wait out the storm till they got back here the next day. They are the ones who brought in Artie in fact. But back to the issue of Brother Zork, his age and I know it’s affecting him more than he says. When he had the heart attack in the summer it just about killed him"
Lorimis nods "I know about the heart attack and how it took him almost the whole season to recover from it." He adjusts his glasses "And not that I have said anything but I have noticed the cane he uses now"
Artie has been listening and speaks now, "Brother Zork he is the badger right? The one that carried me here?"
Leon nods "Yes and he should have had Kadar help by carrying you but whats done is done" He looks at the abbot once more" Yes and he did recover but not fully. He has had issues with his legs and may be due to some swelling and that is something that can happen to beasts with a weak heart. Also as I told him, certain actions can affect it as well..running too long or running at all, he can walk but not like far distances. I think the running, on top of that cold air was not a good combo. And he didn’t rest enough before he carries a sea otter to the gates and this in the snow. It’s fairly deep in places. The one thing that may have helped him a little is he mentioned Kadar's mate knows some healing, not a lot but even a little helps as Zork did rest overnight and got out of the main part of the storm..and he mentioned willow bark he chewed on, not the best idea but still it helped him not get any worse. He needs to be told to rest in here for a week to be closely watched as he may have had a small attack last night, small as it will not kill him..as LONG as he listens and rests and you’re probably the only one who he will listen to if you say rest he has to."
Lorimis listens and sighs "I hate to have to order any beast to do anything but if it’s needed, it’s needed. Brother Zork will be ordered to stay in the infirm, on bed rest for a week and after wards he will take the winter season off of his forge work, forge work is not needed right now. I f he still wishes to have a lesson with Silverstorm we can figure that out, maybe invite Kadar over for the winter, he will just need to know the rules of no armor or weapons made or repaired with the abbey forge..if that lesson needs to be had he can go to his own forge but other lessons can be done at the abbey as there is always tools and needed items, even small things for future uses."

Leon nods, "It’s a wise decision, I didn’t have to examine him last night to know he was having some pains and he mentioned his legs. Has he mentioned the wheelchair yet to you?"

Lorimis shakes his head "No, he has not and not to Benar either that I know of"
Leon nods "He built it..for himself, maybe ask him about it as he said he wanted to talk with you..probably of that and why he has it. He knows he will be using it soon and soon may of come now, rather he wants to think that or not. But he has sort of...added things, your have to see it"
Lorimis is curious "Added things?..Well I may ask him of it, but that doesn't matter right now."

Zork opens his eyes to talking and blinks "Hey...guys" He sounds tried and goes to sit up.

Leon nods and looks over at Zork.
Lorimis sighs and heads right over to Zork and doesn’t give him a chance to talk much, he lays a paw on his chest" Lay down...Brother Zork we can talk in more detail in a week's time, in my office. For now you are ordered to stay on bed rest in the infirmary for a weeks time. Brother Leon and Angela will make sure of this. Meals can be brought to you and you can have visitors"
Zork allows himself to lie down but the order" W..WOT?!" He frowns "I can't stay inna ere'..me room be fine" He starts to say more but stops, this is the abbot after all.
Leon stays quiet, he is not interrupting this
Lorimis stays beside him and in a firm voice, "The infirm and as I said it’s an order not a request. I do not like to repeat myself on how long and I hate to do something such as this now do I make myself clear Brother Zork?" And it’s very clear he won't leave the badgers side till he confirms this.
Zork closes his eyes and opens them again, "Yes Abbot Lorimis, a week...I understand Abbot Lorimis" He says no more and lays there silent.
Lorimis nods "Good..." He looks to Leon" I am going to speak to Benar about this" He looks to Zork "And he and I will both speak to you in a week's time, till then" He walks out of the infirm, he has his abbot duties after all, but not till he has a talk with Benar.
