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.
Exits: Abbey's [Li]brary, [K]itchen, [C]avern [H]ole, [B]reezeway, [En]try, [Stairs]
Cynthia sits in a chair by the fireplace as its cozy here, course no fire as its summer
Caleb enters the room and walks over to the mouse maid "Most are outside and your inside, why? Everything ok?"
Cynthia turns to see Caleb and nods "I am fine, it's just a little hot outside is all"
Caleb ohs, "Well yeah is a little hot but I know there is good amount of juice and water"
good amount
Cynthia smiles" I am sure things are going well. It’s been a fun week for most so far"
Caleb sits beside her "I had some fun this week so far, there was a dunk booth couple days ago"
Cynthia smiles as she leans against him “Sounds cool I heard your dad was dunked a lot and then some vole. A lot of the adults avoided the area think"
Caleb smiles and chuckles "Yeah but I think dad enjoyed it after a while, he managed to slip away when couple dibbuns were agueing over something."
Cynthia says, "Well you were at dibbun day whats your excuse" She is teasing of course, "Or do a have one"
Caleb blinks and sticks out his tongue" Well I am only 1/2 season from being 8 seasons old...you’re the one that’s 8 season so there"
Cynthia shrugs and chuckles "I think I am going back outside to see whats going on, your welcome to join or stay inside"
RW Abbey: Breezeway
A covered, narrow walkway connecting both the smaller building of the kitchens and the large, dwarfing building of the Great Hall. It is a walkway for the kitchen's servers for easy access to the Hall during mealtimes and Feasts. Because it is covered, it is mostly protected from the weather but outside so that more easy access to it is afforded. At almost all times, beasts can be seen scurrying across its surface -- despite their destination and the weather going on around them. Life must go on!
New growth sprouts up around the edges of the walkway but anything that managed to take root in the walkway and breezeway itself finds itself trampled -- and quite not worth the energy of rooting there. Brisk, slightly chilly spring breezes find their way into the breezeway, stirring the puddles of the many rainstorms that always manage to dump water onto the little, narrow walkway -- despite the coverings and shelter.
Exits: [Ki]tchen [P]ath, [G]reat [H]all, [Sc]ullery
Caleb follows the mouse maid "Hey, wait on me Cynthia" He smiles still in a good mood
Cynthia chuckles, "Wait on you for what, your being a slow poke" She tenses him again as she twirls around a little in a sort of dance humming softly to herself.
Caleb frowns, he isn't that slow. He watches her dance a little and for now stays where he is.
Cynthia does a couple other spins and looks back at Caleb, "What I like dancing and singing and there is different dances just as there is different songs to sing." She walks back over to him smileing and if he allows takes his paws into hers, "I can teach you one, a simple one that steps forwards once an back twice and to side a little, and a little spin even" If he allows she will led him into the dance also as there is a fair amount of room out here.
Caleb shrugs "I don't really....."He does allow her to led and does fairly well, he about trips once and mutters a sorry but does pay attention and follows the steps, catching on after a short while and smiles at her.
Cynthia grins and nods "I think your good at learning things fairy quick."
Caleb smiles "Well I have a good teacher, I have you...the best teacher in all of Mossflower and the most....ummmm kind"
Cynthia blushes as she dances with Caleb, '" Thanks your very sweet Caleb"
Caleb smiles as he still dances "Your welcome, your also..pretty, no more than pretty"
Cynthia smiles more, the dance staying at the same pace and she lays her head on his shoulder as she knows he can dance well now, this dance anyways.
Caleb allows her and is careful as he dances with her, "This is nice, maybe should dance more often"
Cynthia nods a little and sighs happy,' Yeah we should, it would be fun"
Caleb smiles “We should take a break, get something to drink”
Cynthia nods and heads over to a table, getting a glass of water for her and for Caleb, she hands one to him and holds her own but doesn’t takes a sip just yet.
Caleb smiles and sips his water, “We should watch the magic show want to?”
Cynthia nods and sits her glass sown, it tips over and she frowns as she sits it back up.
Caleb dashes off after drinking some more water.
Cynthia follows him and grins “I am faster than you ya silly”
Caleb grins “No I am faster” He chuckles having some fun, he had been so busy with novice ranking he has missed some fun, so he starts a game of tag with dibbuns nearby.
Cynthia joins in and laughs, she is past dibbun seasons like Caleb is and is only a little over half a season older than Caleb, but hey she can have fun also. She wipes some sweat off her brow and frowns “Its hot out”
About then is when Oswald comes and nods to Cynthia “Awww and how have you been my dear lass?”
Caleb walks over and waves to the shrew “HI there”
Cynthia smiles slowly “I am fine, been great since been home”
The shrew nods as a couple otters join him, “The singing didn’t happen today but all is still good, maybe another day soon hmmm?”
Cynthia smiles “I could still sing” She wipes some sweat away and feels tried but she loves to sing, ”If you would like, I could do a quick song”
Caleb smiles widely “Yeah she is the best, pretty voice and kind,…well great .”
The shrew smiles “That would be wonderful! Come over here..every beast I would like to welcome Cynthia, and she has a song for you all to hear to hear before the day comes to an end but no fear for more fun is to be had tomorrow the next day and a feast in a couple days as well my friends to finish this fun week” He steps aside to let her sing if she wants to, her choice of course.
Cynthia smiles, why is she dizzy? She never seemed scared of a crowd before, she takes a deep breath and walks forwards, goodness is it her or is it suddenly hotter outside, maybe she should of drank some water when Caleb did, but she didn’t, she didn’t really drink much water since she been outside today. But she will not let a little feeling dizzy get to her or feeling sick…she can sing then get some water and stay inside, yeah that’s a good plan.
Caleb sits nearby with some other novices in his rank and a couple in a higher rank.
Cynthia smiles and starts singing softly while a squirrel maid from the carnival starts playing a flute and another plays a small drum. "The winter O, the winter O,
With cold and dark and driving snow,
O not for me the winter O,
My friend I tell you so.
In the spring the winds do sport and play,
And rain can teem down anyday,
While autumn oft is misty grey,
My friend hear what I say.
When summer sunlight comes each morn,
The birds sing sweet each golden dawn,
And flow'rs get kissed by every bee,
While shady stands the tree.
The summer O, the summer O,…………”
The mouse maid stops mid song, mid-sentence and holds her forehead as if the biggest headache ever has come on and a weak whimper she falls to the ground, a gasp is heard in the crowd and already an otter is checking on her.
Caleb is already up and rushing forwards “Cynthia!” He checks her pulse and forehead, he frowns “Someone get my dad or grandma and someone find Lacota and Benar!”
Cynthia forehead is hot and she looks pale. Her pulse is weak and yet fast, her mouth fairly dry as she whimpers weakly. A worried Osward stays close by.
Caleb knows to loose clothing “We need to get her inside…some water on her, find the coolest area of the infirm, she is overheated I think and we need to get her temperature down…some cold water on cloths and…”He gently picks her up and caries her to the infirm, to lay her down in the furthest bed where the room is cooler and it’s a bit darker. Healers lay cold rags on her forehead and arms, legs and Caleb sits down beside her, he won’t leave her side, in fact he will sleep in this chair all night if needed!
--Not too much more to tell. Cynthia been in the hot weather too long and Caleb, as well as others, hope she will recover soon.---
