Off To Bring The News Of Lorimis Death To Ferravale

RW Abbey: Great Hall

The Great Hall of Redwall Abbey. Countless paw falls have echoed from these stones, and untold numbers of feasts and merry gatherings have been held here. A table, not nearly so grand or large as its predecessors, but quite functional for mealtimes, rests near the center of the hall. Chairs exist here aplenty, and they are all of a matching set. High above, the stain glass windows give the Great Hall a beautiful appearance. The glasswork is exceptionally done, crafted by a skilled artist. The floor is clean and swept. A fire is kept burning in the fireplace at almost all times of the day and night, and there are several more comfortable chairs and cushions set up here, of varying sizes. One looks large enough to easily accommodate a badger.

The Tapestry hangs proud and tall, and while the rest of Redwall may still bear the scars of natural disaster, this most famous of Redwall's relics remains unharmed by beast, time, or the elements. The figure of Martin the Warrior seems to be watching over his own with an unchanging, kindly gaze.

Soft light is slowly beginning to filter in through the stained glass windows high above your head.

Zinnia is finishing up writing and then closes the journal and frowns as she goes to place it in her pouch, she always keeps the latest Redwall logs with her as it just makes things earlier and looks to a cloak she has and places it around her like she is getting ready to go somewhere.

Zork wheels into the room, he had gotten some help back to his chair from the library this morning. He studies Zinnia before quietly asking "Going somewhere?"

Zinnia turns to Zork and nods "To Ferravale, to let them know about.." She frowns, "About Abbot Lorimis."

Zork wheels over closer," I would offer ta come along but not the best of ideas for me, maybe Uncle Zee can tag along with you and you can rest at his home and come back and if anyone else wanted to come back with you they could"

Zinnia nods "I know and maybe but I have not seen Uncle Zee since last night in the library, he may be asleep or something. I will be careful Papa don't worry, I can avoid any possible trouble on the road"

Zork nods slowly "Still..better safe than sorry." He then asks "You doing ok?"

Zinnia nods "I..." A single tear goes down her face, "A little better I guess."

Zork goes to slowly stand so he can better hug Zinnia.

Zinnia allows the hug, "Be careful Papa, You shouldn’t stand without your walking staff." She will help him if needed to sit back down in his chair.

Zork smiles and lets her help him to sit back into his chair, he nods "I know but ya were here ta help me Zinnia and I do get in or out when I go to bed...ok ok with the help of me staff."

Zinnia seems glad he is sitting back down, she then adjusts her cloak, “I won’t be gone that long just a quick there and back and maybe Uncle Zee can come or even a guard or two. Ferravale is only a little under half a day away"

Lacota steps out of the kitchen, and glances around. "Quiet day."

Zork nods "Yeah, don't think many are doing chores today or if they are, they are just being quiet and not talking much like beasts usually does. Even de dibbuns been quiet today."

Zinnia nods a hello to Lacota, "Hello Friar Lacota, how are you today?"

Lacota shrugs. "I am my usual irritable self."

Zork glances at Lacota, "You should try ta be less irritable Lacota. Your kitchens been ok?" He also looks at Zinnia, "When you heading to Ferravale cause if it’s here soon I expect ta see you back before sunset tomorrow..gives ya plenty of time to get there, give them the message bout Lorimis and get back here."

Zinnia answers, "Here in a few minutes." She says quietly.

Zee walks in with his staff in paw, "Then I am going with ya lass, we don’t need any worry around de abbey its already depressing from yesterday. We give chiefy the message and come back he can decide if he wants to come or not."

Zinnia manages a small smile as she is glad for the company, "You can come along Uncle Zee, we could even stay at your hut tonight and come back tomorrow morning."

Zork watches Zee and Zinnia talk.

Zee then goes to head to the entry, “Well its best we head off then let’s go."

Lacota says, "Be careful on the road."

Zinnia nods and follows Zee but not before a quick hug given to her father and she heads to the entry "I will be..see you both tomorrow evening" She then is to the gates and on to the road.
