The Vixen and The Infirmary
RW Abbey: Infirmary Recovery
This comfortable but spartan room has several small alcoves lining the wall. Infirmary bunks with resting and recovering patients lie in these alcoves, each cordoned off with a gossamer drapery of linen for privacy. The room is lit with oil lamps and the pleasing warmth of a small hearth fire. This room is kept quiet, except for the occasional snore, hacking cough or sniffle of its sleeping infirmary occupants.
Exits: [Back] to the Main Infirmary
Flamefur is still in the infirm, still at Redwall, still recovering.
Leon is working in the infirm, not much to do in the infirm right now, he does look over at the vixen a copy times before wandering over towards her.
Flamefur blinks as she is awake, as the mouse comes closer she looks at him and glares are him.
Leon folds his arms over his chest, "Glare at me all you want, I could easily just walk away and not check your wounds at all"
Flamefur just keeps her eyes focused on him, "Yeah..so, not here by choice woodlander."
Leon goes to tend to checking her wounds, to see if there is any swelling or signs of infection to them, he will then re bandage them with a fresh bit of herbs and bandages, he looks at her as he does so and then looks to her leg wound as it and the side were the worse wounds.
Flamefur lets him tend to her, waiting till he is almost done bandaging before she tries to grab him by the collar and pull him towards her, she is not in the best mood right now.
Leon finishes bandaging her worse wounds after checking them and errks as she grabs ahold of him, he goes to squeeze her injured paw as he looks right at her, "Let go of me now." There is a little danger in his voice, she is in a bad mood? Guess who else is.
Flamefur snarls as her paw is squeezed, she goes to tighten her grip and push him into the small table beside the bed she is in.
Leon was guessing this could be a result as he goes into the table and knocks it over, him falling on top of it with a small groan, a mug and tray fall to the floor and the table breaks a leg off.
Flamefur smirks, she holds her paw with her good one and looks at it, she mutters a cuss word and proceeds to try and get up and a dizzy spell hits her and she goes from sitting to lying down again.
Leon on the other paw is knocked out for the time being.
Flamefur looks down at the knocked out healer and smirks again, he rubs her forehead and looks around the room, escape..escape, how to do it. She is still weak and that stunt just drained her of energy she had.
Over on the cot nearest the door is the sleeping form of Bandit. Still zonked out from the day before the large brown fox is stirred from his sleep by the crash. Lifting himself up from the cot painfully he says, "L-Leon? What's the matter with...Leon!" He shouts as he sees the fallen mouse
Leon would be happy to answer that, he truely would but being knocked out doesn’t help, he groans as he stirs a little but has yet to wake up and the table is still broken, the mug and tray on the floor also.
Flamefur looks over at Bandit, "He decided to..take a nap" She chuckles coldly and then tenses up, laughing hurts, she growls low and looks at the door, she needs to get out of here.
Bandit growls dangerously at Flamefur. "Blazes..." The pudgy brown fox throws himself from the cot. Bandit Is starting to think Cheshire a little less mad for suggesting restraints be put into the infirm cots now.
Leon is still semi- conscious now where he was basically throw into the table, still on the floor beside a small table and the table has a broken leg now and a tray and mug beside it, he manages a groan as he tries to come fully awake.
Flamefur watches the fox, "Gee...for a fat fox you move very well." Her eyes narrow, "Come near me..and.." Ok she can't do much, what little energy she has gone for now.
Bandit narrows his eyes at the red vulpine. They always have to make fun of his weight don't they? "If you thought that was fast, wait until you watch me hog tie you and toss you in the Abbey jail." Bandit rips the bed sheets off the cot behind him to make good on his threat, "Or you can be a good little evil foxy and stay. put."
Flamefur chuckles.."Good..evil in the same sentence, that’s funny and I don’t think this place has a jail fat one"
Leon blinks a few times as he comes to and sits up rubbing the back of his head.
The fat fox rubs his eye while giving a great sigh, "You ok Leon?" He asks, bed sheets slowly being coiled up in one paw.
Flamefur looks at the door and to them "I demand..to speak to one in charge, right now!"
Leon nods "I am fine Ba---" He looks at Flamefur and does something rare, even for him, "SHUT UP!!" He takes a couple deep breaths.
The brown fox nods, right, Leon is ok. He takes the bed sheets in both paws. "Remind me to run Cheshire’s idea for cot restraints by the abbey leaders later on..." Bandit moves towards Flamefur
Flamefur looks to see what Bandit is up to and her ears go flat, she looks ready to bite him if he comes closer.
Leon watches Bandit as well, "She wouldn’t get far with her wounds but can still be a threat."
Bandit makes an evil grin, "Oh...I know she won't get too far..." The fox uncurls the bed sheet and tosses it towards the fox, aiming to cover the vixen with the sheet.
Lee steps into the room. "Leon, 'ow is the prisoner?"
Flamefur growls at Bandit and looks for something to throw at him, a pillow won’t do much good that’s for sure.
Leon rubs his head, "She threw me into a table" He points to the now broken table, "And Bandit you have to keep her wounds clear, the side and leg."
Bandit nods as he tries to wrap the vixen's paws and arms up in the bed sheet over her head. "Duley noted..."
Lee asks, "'Ow on earth did she do that?"
Leon says, "I was bandaging her wounds and she grabbed me by the collar and shoved me into the table, used up any strength she had too"
Flamefur goes to try and kick Bandit with her good leg as she is tied up and glares at him, it's clear she hates it here, "Yours pay..your pay!"
Lee blinks. "I see...I need ta keep a closer watch on 'er, then.”
Bandit makes an oof noise as he takes a blow to the stomach. Thankfully, as every beast seems adept to pointing out, the fox has ample padding there. When he is done The vixen's arms are tied behind her back under a bed sheet that wraps around her head and upper torso. Not the /best/ restraint but... it should do for now.
Lee frowns. "I dunno 'ow long we can keep 'er here."
Flamefur arms and legs are tied to the bed as she speaks " Release me, I demand a talk with who is in charge now"
Leon looks over "In the infirm..ME, you will stay here and not try and harm a beast, your wounds will be treated and your get meals, not sure what yet...I could easily not of treated your wounds, could of just walked out but didn’t"
Lee replies with a growl to his voice. "Be glad I weren't the 'ealer...I woulda walked out."
Flamefur says, "So..what do you plan on doing with me?"
Bandit chuckles, "I say we keep her well-fed with fish and sweets. Keep her too plump and SLOW to cause too much trouble." The fox then says seriously, "We should probibly put some guards on her, or have her stay in an un needed room. ...also I might need to make some air holes in the bed sheets..."
Lee says, "Put 'er where Safana was."
Leon speaks "Lee, tie her down better..paws and feet, maybe waist too, so she can’t get loose, but not near her head , still needs to breathe and maybe she can answer questions."
Lee scoffs. "Not likely...Safana never did."
Flamefur has manages to shake the sheet off her head some and growls low, "Questions huh..why would I do that for and your pay when Nightfur comes back for me"
Lee laughs. "That ain't very likely..."
Bandit folds his arms behind his back. He /could/ threaten her but, that isn't in the fox's style. After all, honey is sweeter than vinegar. "Oh? Like he came back for Safana? He came back for her alright...I watched as he cut her down like yesterday’s rubbish." Bandit smiles, "What do you think he will do to you for /failing/ him?"
Leon looks ready to head out but he has questions of his own, he looks down at the fox, "You will answer questions whoever they come from"
Flamefur smirks "I am his mate.." She does think on it and manages a small frown, she does remember he didn’t walk back to check on her, when he easily could of, he easily could of stayed where he was and helped her, she glares at all of them in turn.
Lee says, "Yer dead ta 'im, I wager."
The brown furred fox stretches at his chin, "You're Nightfur's mate? How very...interesting. I wasn't sure there was an once of love in that fox to give except killing and mayhem." He tilts his head to the side, "Are you hungry lass?"
Leon shakes his head, he then looks at the vixen, "You know where that base is then don't you?"
Flamefur looks at the fox, yeah right she believes that’s a trick, "No" she says and smirks at Leon "Yes I do, so what?"
Lee exclaims, "Tell 'im wot ye tol' me about DoraRose, NOW!"
Leon listens, a small bit of hope shows, a very small bit as he is still not really sane, he still does his healer job yes but it’s more like just use the skills and go on to the next beast, sleep in here and not even see his dibbun lately, yep Oz has them and he avoids Oz so...
Flamefur narrows her eyes "And If I don’t?"
Lee says, "If ye don't, then I'll strangle ye ta death with me bare paws..."
Bandit slaps the otter upside the head, "Lee! Be nice to our guest." The fox says, then chuckles at the vixen, "Don't worry miss, Lee is just in a bad mood because you tried to kill him. Please, do tell us about Dorarose."
Flamefur narrows her eyes at the otter.
Leon walks over to a desk and opens a drawer looking at a key there and frowns at it and shakes his head, he slams it shut and opens another one of those surgeries knifes are found and he walks back over towards them.
Lee watches the mouse. "Er, Leon...wot's the knife for?"
Flamefur says, "Think I may just stay quiet"
Bandit gulps, "Leon...let's...let's not do anything hasty..." The fox takes a step away from the mouse.
Leon walks over to the vixen "She will answer questions..yes she will..I can MAKE her answer them"
Flamefur looks over at the mouse and frowns , wait a moment he has a knife and her paws and feet are tied down. She may be a little worried now.
Lee moves to stand between the mouse and Flamefur. "Leon...give me the knife, please."
The fox comes up behind Leon, "Lissen Leon. We all know you love yer wife, but gutting a helpless fox won't bring her back..." He says as calmly as one can under the circumstances
Leon looks at Lee and past him, he grips the knife and twitches once, he then hands over the knife to Lee and drops to his knees, tears going down his face now "She's..she's probably dead"
Flamefur watches and then relaxes, she was worried for a short while, she makes her ears go flat as she listens to them.
Lee lays the knife aside. "Leon, yer wife lives, trust me."
Bandit pats the mouse on the shoulder comfortingly. It is the extent of his comforting skills
Leon seems to care less who is here and has enough stress, keeping all of it in doesn’t help, he starts sobbing and lies on the floor.
Flamefur also is getting stressed, with the noise.."Your mate is alive, now do be quiet..so is all the slaves, all alive..Nightfur rarely kills a slave, sells them maybe he doesn’t kill them unless they cause trouble like this one otter he has, they both hate each other’s guts"
Lee blinks. "Wait a minute...wot otter are ye talkin' about? Tell me!"
Leon looks up, "She..alive?" He still holds back a sob.
Flamefur watches Lee, "Why so interested in what otter?..Leader of some clan or other...not that he has a clan no more, just him and another"
Bandit watches the events unfold. There isn't much for the fox to do here really, but it does look like it is going to be a long night..."I'll be right back with some biskets and drinks." Bandit takes his leave of the infirm
Lee asks, "Wot other? Wot clan?"
Flamefur decides to tell him, "I forgot the clans name...silver seashell or other, Nightfur destroyed it, poisoned the food, took them slaves, they escaped once and he finished them off..all but three, one died recently, some shield guard...just de chieftain and his dibbun are alive now"
Leon decides to lay down in a cot and ends up crying his self to sleep..stress, lack of sleep, and he hasn’t really ate much, all that get to a beast, he is soon asleep.
Lee says, "'Is dibbun, ye say..."
Flamefur looks over at the mouse and back to the otter, "What else you want, slave info..fine, he has a mouse maid. That healers mate, he has this one otter that guess was slave, well he is a slave again, the two from that clan and a couple squirrels...and think a mole"
Lee frowns. "I see...hmm."
Bandit comes back in carrying a plate of biskets in one paw, wine bottle in the other. A bisket is being held in his mouth. The fox sets the plate down on a table where everyone can get at it.
Flamefur watches the otter, "What? Think I am lieing?"
Lee says, "Possibly..."
Flamefur rolls her eyes and frowns, it’s unclear why.
Bandit scoffs down a bisket. It's not that he doesn't have training in interrogation, it’s just that...he doesn't have training in interrogation. "Remember Lee, Honey is sweeter than vinegar," He whispers, "Might be time for a different approach." Bandit offers the otter the plate of biskets before heading for the exit.
Lee eats a biscuit while staring at Flamefur.
Flamefur doesn't seem to care if she is stared at, she looks at the wall and away from the otter.
Lee frowns.
Flamefur speaks, “Why are you suddenly quiet, can't think of questions to ask me or if that’s all you wanted go away"
Lee sighs. "I be thinkin'."
Flamefur would snarl but choices not to, "Whatever.." Her voice has a hint of sadness to it.
Lee says, "Ye better start thinkin' yerself..."
Flamefur asks, "Thinking of what?"
Lee says, "Tell me...does Nightfur love ye? Truly love ye?"
Flamefur looks at the otter, "What sort of question..."
Lee asks, "It be a valid question, why do ye hesitate ta answer it?"
Flamefur never has really thought of this, "He..well, I suppose" She seems confused, "He has me do things for him, feed the slaves or go get info, he doesn’t say thanks but sure
it’s welcome info"
Lee asks, "But, 'as 'e ever *said* 'e loves ye?"
Flamefur glares and that glare turns to a frown, "No, he never has. He.." She flashes back to last night and frowns more as she thinks more, her cries for help did go un answered.
Lee nods. "Aha, just as I thought..."
Flamefur frowns she turn away if she could, her eyes water up but she forces herself not to cry, she will not do that in front of a woodlander.
Lee says, "'E used ye, Flamefur. It weren't love...just a means to an end."
Flamefur speaks again, "Leave..." She seems to demand and closes her eyes, many things go through her head, pain, depression and anger, she growls low and it gets louder.
Lee shrugs. "Be glad I were plannin' ta leave...otherwise, I would stay."
Flamefur frowns, it's clear she will answer no more questions. least right now, "Going to..kill him" She mutters .
Lee smirks. "Not if I reach 'im first..."
Flamefur hears the otter, and still clearly peeved, but seems at someone other than Lee..she is also tried and looks ready to sleep, "Tell..the mouse healer sorry..earlier...me and you need to chat still otter." No more is said as she goes to sleep, now she is far from cozy but sleep is still sleep.
Lee says, "Indeed, talk, soon."
Flamefur it's unclear if she heard that she is asleep now, still be best to keep her tied down for now and a guard nearby, otherwise sleep is all she is interested in now.
