No!Not Seth!

From Redwall MUCK Wiki


Jacen steps into the infirm from way of a once closed door and now it’s open to show a rat, he blinks as he rubs his eyes and looks in the infirm, "I say...I have guests? Who is hurt or were you tended to already?"

Rorgan shakes his head. "I'm not injured, just visiting."

Lee says, "Hello sir, Oakenpaw helped me last night."

Jacen nods, "Oh yes one of the healers that work for me, yes..yes..fight in the road perhaps?" He frowns "Fights are not nice and causes horrible messes."

Lee says, "Not a fight, per se..."

Rorgan shakes his head. "Aye, not a fight, though I don't think I was there for all of it."

Jacen looks between them, "Not a fight? Then why are beasts here?" He sighs "I am never told anything, but clearly a wound or illness was involved, how did that come about?"

Rorgan looks at Lee. "D'ya want me t' explain?”

Lee nods. "Ye can...I be weary o' thinkin' of it..."

Jacen frowns, "A fight that was not a fight? Now I need Willow bark tea for my head hurts, yes explain while I make tea" He walks over to start the tea, willow bark and while he is at it some normal tea as well.

Rorgan sighs. "Well, I wasn't there fer all of it, but here's the part I understand. Arick here..." He points at the sleeping wildcat. "...had bought Lee's wife from a rat named Seth. Lee wanted me t' come with t' Ferravale t' confront Arick about it and he ended up makin' a run fer it. Lee and I chased him t' the outside of the gates and I put an arrow in Arick's leg. Since he was unable t' run, we questioned him."

Lee listens, still feeling drained

Jacen nods all the while, the tea is done as he gets them some of the normal tea and him some of that willow bark stuff, "Ahh yes..wildcat uh huh, Arick nice name yep..."He takes a sip of tea as he looks at said sleeping wildcat, "Yeah some..some.." He drops the tea cup and it breaks in lots of pieces, "Did you said S..S...S..S..Seth?" He gulps and is clearly shaking now, "No..I need me hearing checked, you DIDNT say that name, that horrible..horrible name..of..S..S....S..S.Seth."He covers his ears and starts trying to hum some sort of tune.

Rorgan tilts his head, confused. "Wot's wrong with you?" He asks, not quite understanding.

Lee looks over. "I see yer familiar with the scumbag."

Jacen still hums and hums trying to get this out of his mind and it does no good, he slumps to the floor and still shivers, "He..he..he was here, took over my infirm, and wouldn’t let me help any Ferravale member stuck here just..just his boss and his men, S...S...Seth is nearby? Oh please not the village, don’t let him be here."

Lee says, "Nah, I ran 'im off after threatenin' ta slit 'is throat. That was for kidnappin' me fiancé."

Rorgan gets up and walks over to the rat, sitting next to him and putting a comforting arm around his shoulders. "Don't worry friend. He's not in the village."

Jacen oddly lets the otter do this, he gulps again, "3 weeks....3 weeks! He took over and was..so mean and hateful and his boss was too, then he disappeared after his boss fell off that bridge, I thought that’s the end..dead...but S..Seth not dead, why isn't he dead!"

Lee says, "I dunno...no beast seems ta wanna let me end 'is life, but I wanted to, in the worst way."

Jacen calms a little, "Seth, he...he needs dead and make sure he is dead, what if he comes here? He could he really really could cause vermin do come here and not many are throw out.."He looks at the door and gulps and shakes his head, "I don’t want to see S..Seth again..."

Rorgan nods sympathetically to the rat. "Well I'm sorry he did that t' yore village. If I had been here, I would've helped as much as I could've."

Lee says, "Do not ye worry yerself, next time I see 'im, won’t be nobeast around ta prevent me from separatin' 'is head from 'is shoulders..."

Jacen nods "Yes, his body doesn't need a head"

Lee says, "That rat be as good dead, far as I'm concerned...Flick said show Seth mercy? No more."

Rorgan frowns. "I suppose I won't tell you what t' do Lee. As far as I'm concerned, yore able t' make yer own decisions."

Jacen takes a couple deep breaths, "So where is S..Seth at now? I know he likes to drink ale, like a lot when he was here"

Lee shrugs. "Dunno. If 'e be smart, he be far, far away from 'ere, because I made sure the Rangers an' the Sparra know wot 'e looks like, so 'e can be caught if 'e returns ta Mossflower. If 'e does, 'is life is forfeit."

The door to the infirmary opens a little roughly and Ferdinand the ferret strides in, grimacing as he carries his charge, Blisa the kitten. She is holding her left paw close to her and is crying. The guard sets her carefully down on a cot and says, "Mith Blitha hurt her writht. Can you help?"

Rorgan looks up at the newcomers, but stays silent, knowing next to nothing about healing.

Jacen looks to the door and walks over, "I..I can help, yes" He takes a couple deep breaths, calm down..calm..He tries a weak smile, "So how did Blisa hurt her wrist?" He goes to gently check it.

Lee watches the others a little, then closes his eyes, remaining alert to his surroundings.

Blisa sniffs as her bodyguard sighs. "The wath climbing a tree and fell out of it. I tried to catch her, but the forthce knocked me over and the landed on the ground anyway." The kitten nods in agreement and holds her left paw out. Any skilled healer would be able to tell that it's very badly sprained.

Rorgan winces as he looks at the injured paw, thinking that it actually looked quite painful.

Jacen checks it carefully and moves it just a little, he smiles "Well some good news, it’s not broken but its sprain pretty badly, I can place it in a splint a few days and it should get better" He gets a couple sticks and cloth, "Also a sling and...umm, well you can tell Scioto what happen too."

Lee opens his eyes and glances over

Blisa nods and sniffs, refusing to cry even though it hurts /allot/. Ferdinand sighs and nods, as well. "I'll be thure to. Thank you. Ith there anythign you can give her to make the pain eathe a little?"

Jacen nods, he places the sticks and uses the cloth to keep them in place and a slightly tight bandage, he looks around and finds a sling, "Maybe some...or is there that willow bark tea, would need to be weak and some mint added for..for flavoring, willow bark helps with pain as well as light fevers"

Lee says, "Aye, that it does."

Ferdinand nods and foes over to the shelves. "Ith there any already brewed, or thould I make thome?" Blisa sniffs and curls into a fluffy little ball on the cot, cradling her arm cautiously.

Rorgan stands quickly. "Also, if you need any o' that gathered, I could do that," He says, looking for a chance to do something useful.

Jacen nods , he points to the tea pot, "Its there I was making me some for a..headache, oh she may want ta tell her father that Seth could be...around" He gulps "Hopefully not as..don’t wanna see him again" Cleary he doesn’t.

Lee says, "Seth be gone, I say."

Ferdinand frowns as he pours the kitten some tea and sweetens it with some honey he always carries around with him. "Great. Jutht what we don't need." He holds it out to Blisa, who takes it, still sniffing, and slowly sips it all gone.

Rorgan nods in agreement with Lee. "I agree with Lee. I don't think we'll be seeing Seth fer a while."

Lee says, "Besides, if Seth returns, I promise ta end 'im."

Ferdinand frowns and taps his left foot a little. "You don't thuppothe he could pothibly get into the village, could he? I really don't want to have to drag Blitha to Redwall again."

Jacen frowns "If S..Seth tried to harm the chieftains daughter, probably be the last thing he ever would do"

Lee says, "Seth tried four times ta kill Zork."

Rorgan tilts his head. "I haven't seen Scioto fight, but I feel as though it wouldn't be nice to be on the receiving end of his wrath."

Jacen has no clue who Zork is, well must be someone Seth hates a lot, he sits down in a chair now.

Lee says, "He kidnapped me fiancé, too."

Rorgan sighs. "Well this is a fun discussion, but I must be going." He waves to the occupants of the Infirmary and walks out the door.

Lee waves to the departing otter

Ferdinand sits down beside his charge and watches her bring out a little doll and hold it. "I find Thcioto thcary even when I'm on hith thide and he ith angry. I would pity anybeatht that hurt Blitha." Blisa yawns and hugs her doll tightly.

Jacen nods as he listens to Ferdinard, "Yeah...they wouldn’t stay living too long"

Lee says, "Eh, well, I said the same about any beast that hurt me fiancé, Stream'eart...but no beast would let me kill 'im...it be irritatin' havin' ta let Seth go like that..."

Blisa looks over at the otter and speaks her first words since coming into the infirm. "Why wouldn't they let you kill him? That doesn't sound fair." Ferdinand nods, then sighs and gets himself some willow bark tea, too. He's got a headache. He dilutes it with some warm water, sweetens it with honey, then sits back down again.

Jacen nods "Well we can hope Seth be long gone then...very long gone"

Lee says, "Indeed, it werent fair. Nobeast save DoraRose seems ta unnerstand me reason."

Blisa smiles faintly. "I like DoraRose. She's nice." Ferdinand nods as he sips his tea, keeping silent for now, just listening.

Jacen frowns, he stands and starts sorting things and putting things away here and there before he speaks, "I..I know more bout S..Seth that ya think"

Ferdinand frowns deeply and mutters into his tea, "Great. You thould probably be under protection, too." Blisa blinks slowly. "I'm sorry....will he come to get you, ya think?"

Jacen frowns and presses against the wall, "Brother, but NO WAY am I anything like him, I hate him and he hates me a lot more"

Lee says, "He hates me, too."

Jacen frowns, "I need some ale, yes that is a good idea" ,And he quickly goes to get said ale.
