Why Can't I Remember?When Will Nightmares Stop!(Bolts of Chaos TP)

Scioto wasn't going to stay in the infirm and the chair is more comfortable here anyway and the fact it's hard to sleep without the bad dream, he does keep a cover over him so any injuries for now are hidden under it.

Leon shakes his head," I suppose you could stay in one of the guest rooms, I don't know.”

Benar walks down the stairs frown above, his sandals clicking on the floor as he goes, "Oh Scioto hello, and Brother Leon"

Scioto looks over at Benar and arches an eyebrow and frowns, he speaks sounding a bit tried, "I am not going back to...the infirm right now ummm.” He looks at Leon confused a little by Benar it seems.

Leon nods to Benar, "Benar..Good day, A bit of news and still not sure what to do about it really"

Benar smiles at the cat and pads over towards him, "Yes I received a message about it." He waves at the cat, "How are you feeling Scioto?"

Scioto listens to Leon, and back to Benar, "I..am not sure, I.." He frowns, "Don’t even remember fully what happen before the squirrel found me and forgot his name now"

Leon asks, "How much were you told Benar, just that he was here ?"

Benar says, "And that someone tried to murder Scioto and we need to try and keep the fact he is alive a secret from Ferravale." He smiles at Scioto, then, "Has Leon been looking after you?"

Scioto nods, "Yes he has and I can update you, somewhat." He decides to let the cover fall to show a bandaged arm and chest, and one paw has a bandage. He still has some bruises and a cut, there was a bandage on his forehead going around to the back also it’s just loose some, "I am unsure why someone wants me dead or just what all happen, there was smoke and..."

Leon answers "I can tend to wounds but not everything Benar"

Benar nods to Leon and places a paw on his shoulder then glances back at Scioto, "Can you remember who it was? The message I receive seemed to say people knew."

Scioto shakes his head and sighs, he looks helpless and not too for sure like he usually is, "Look..I don’t know, don’t remember..." He stops talking as he tries to remember and lays a paw on his forehead, "I am sorry if I...Benar?..right now I don’t even remember who I am or much of Ferravale or many here and I am sorry for that I truly am I just remember suddenly almost drowning, being badly wounded and then being brought here..that’s all ."

Benar nods his head and squeezes Scioto's arm, "It is ok Scioto, you take all the time you need, rest, relax and get better soon you hear?"

Leon frowns " Whatever happen it had to be major somewhat"

Scioto says, "I can try but sleeping is hard right now...bad dreams""

Benar asks, "It is ok Scioto, would you like something nice to eat? Or does Leon have you on some boring healer’s diet to help build your strength?""

Leon says, "He doesn’t need a special diet, just to stay in the abbey and he can have a guest room if he wants but still be checked on by a healer weather it’s in the infirm or not"

Scioto nods and smiles faintly, "Food would be good."

Benar asks, "Well then" he picks up a bell and rings it to summon a Novice and grins at Scioto, "What do you want to eat?"

Leon says, " The wounds will heal slowly, and memory should hopefully return too, not sure how soon..." He looks at Benar "He had a head injury and one clue we do have of what happen. A fire maybe as he had burns and he did mention smoke so, but Oak knows a little more as he brought Scioto here and think he went to try and find out more also and will hopefully report back soon"

Scioto shrugs, "I don't know, whatever is fine."

Benar says, "Well then I will arrange for a guest room to be made ready for you Scioto." He talks quietly to the novice ordering some food for himself then nods to Leon, "Did you want to order food for Scioto?"

Bastien pokes his head into the room from where he is in the entry, he searches for anyone he may know as he has been gone a while before he came back few days ago, this after being away little over 4 seasons so yeah taller..older.

Leon hmmms "I don't normally order for other..maybe something simple like stew or soup, usually what is for lunch"

Scioto smiles "Soup is fine, maybe some bread or scones too "

The Novice nods his head "We have onion soup I'll bring you all some and some of the fresh scones"

Emmit enters the room slowly, "Did someone say scones?"

Bastien walks the rest of the way in, he has on his new tunic and cloak of bright green and an acorn clasp on his cloak on the right side, he clears his throat, "Hallo..all"

Emmit says, "Hello there sir. Have we met?"

Leon nods to Bastien "Hi" He states quietly and sits down beside Scioto.

Scioto sighs as he leans back in his chair, it seems its brothering him he should probably know most in the room and yet he doesn’t.

Emmit sit down near the wildcat, "Well, hello there, I am Emmit."

Benar glances at the hare and inclines his head, "Good day to you and yes I just ordered in lunch." he waves to the Novice to bring enough for two more."

Emmit waits quietly, but fidgets.

Benar smiles at Emmit and sips his drink as Lunch is laid out before us, "So Emmit how have you been?"

Emmit says, "well, thank you. I've been jogging around the open area, eating until I'm stuffed and joining in all sorts of interesting conversations."

Benar says, "Well this is what we like to hear, beasts enjoying themselves here at Redwall." hEe slides a bowl of soup before Scioto and grins, "I am glad you have been enjoying yourself."

Scioto takes the bowl and smiles "Thank you..thanks"

Bastien looks over at Benar, "Benar?" Least he hopes he is remembering the name right.

Benar smiles at the hare and tilt hi head, "Yes that is me Benar, have we met young hare? You eem... familiar to me somehow."

Emmit continues to Benar, "But there is a lot of work here too. The chefs have it in their heads I'm a good fisher beast."

Bastien smiles as he gets the name right, "I was here when I was a dibbun, ummm...you probably yelled at me a couple times, my father was head guard and...well couple days ago Flicktail made me head guard, I know I am only 9 seasons but I..I will try my best to do just as well and so far the other guards seem to respect me, well a couple don’t and refuse to listen to a...ummm, how they put it..beast that’s younger than them as it be a disgrace to them"

Scioto eats his soup and dips a bit of bread in the bowl listening to the hare speak, he frowns a little at the fact not all are listening to him.

Leon eats his lunch and goes back to the infirm, “I will be in the infirm if needed.”

Benar tilts his head, "Oh my, it is you isn't it? Little Bastien... well be welcome home Bastien I am glad your feet found the way back to Redwall after all. This is Emmit I am told a fine fisher shrew and Scioto leader of Ferravale."

Emmit says, "But I thought your where dead."

Bastien smiles "I am glad to be back sir...ummm I don’t..think I am dead." He chuckles some, "My father was head guard..like few seasons ago..maybe him if someone said head guard"

Scioto waves to the hare as he takes it easy and eats his lunch, he sips some water slowly.

Benar looks at Emmit, "Yes I never heard that Bastien was killed... who did you hear that from?" He pulls a scone apart with his claws watching Emmit as he motions Bastien toward a chair with his tail

Emmit says, "Flicktail, my friend and I was speaking of the Chieftain."

Bastien goes to sit down in the chair by Benar, "Benar?..Do you think I will do well as Head Guard?"

Scioto raises an eyebrow, " I am alive, feel like should be dead and this..Ferravale, my village as I been told, believes me dead and that for now it has to remain that way" He rubs his sore arm and frowns again sipping some more water, looking like he rather sleep right now.

Emmit asks, "Would you like a bandage for that?"

Benar nod to Emmit, "Yes... Scioto was injured but he is not dead. We are giving him shelter and sanctuary here until he is well enough to go back to Ferravale and stop whoever tried to kill him." , He then regards Bastien, "I trust Flicktail, if he has chosen you then I have faith you will do well."

Emmit nods to Bastien, "As do I. I wonder if lunch is here yet."

Bastien smiles "Lunch is now..I think"

Scioto closes his eyes briefly, maybe a few minutes as they talk, but again he is restless whimpering a little and tenses up once as a paw holds on to the chair arm, perhaps the fever he had is back up again or it’s just a dream, again.."No..." He mutters and shakes his head a little.

Lunch is spread out on the table, a couple of novices laying out the soup and bowls and scones as Benar rests a paw on Scioto's arm. "It is ok Scioto.. you are here.. with Benar in the abbey."

Bastien looks over at the cat and frowns, "Should I..wake him up or?"

Emmit takes a bowl of soup for himself and waits quietly, eating.

Scioto moves some griping the arm of the chair and shakes his head and at the paw touch gasps and opens his good eye and pants looking around, "Tunnel....and river..I.." He calms some as he sees where he is and frowns, his forehead is hot now as it was last night, his fever had went down and seems to have returned, "Keep having the nightmare of smoke and some tunnel and it almost caved in on me and..then being in the river and..reliving it over and over every time I sleep..how can I sleep without seeing.."

Emmit frowns slightly, unsure what to say.

Bastien frowns. " Tunnel and river...Oak said he pulled him from the river, I was at the entry when he brought him to the abbey, I went to get the healer"

Benar tilts his head and listens to Scioto and Bastien then frowns and picks up his soup bowl. "It sounds like a memory to me Scioto, a memory coming back to you. Try not to fight it and you may recall more."

Scioto frowns "But I want to..just sleep, no dreams none at all"

Bastien frowns "Do you want me to find the Master Healer or will he be ok sir?"

Emmit takes a scone also and nibbles it, too concerned to be truly hungry.

Benar says, "No I can deal with this," He murmur to Bastien then slides soup before Scioto, "Eat lunch then we'll go up to your room. There are some things the healers can give you that will make you sleep"

Emmit frowns with his half-finished meal in his lap.

Scioto nods as he goes to eat the soup and bread, eating quietly and sips water he has also, he also gets a scone nibbling on it a little.

Bastien nods as he stands "I will be on guard duty" He exits the room and goes to the gatehouse then the wall tops with his longbow.

Emmit asks, "Well, Benar, will you get yourself your soup? It will be getting cold."

Benar leaves Bastien too it then shakes his head, "No soup for me... scone will be enough," He is frowning at Scioto worriedly.

Emmit finishes eating in a somewhat distracted manner.

Scioto has finished eating and sits in his chair quietly now, not speaking to anyone but still listening

Emmit asks, "Do you remember anything at all, sir?"

Benar keeps quiet himself, just listening and waiting to see what Scioto says

Scioto frowns "No..just being in a tunnel and falling in the river cause of the storm that night..I don’t remember what happen before that, or..." He coughs a little "Anything...who I am, Who He is" Points to Benar, "Who anyone is here, I don't remember Ferravale or anyone from there, the..forgot his name mouse from earlier said I had a head injury, not like I still DONT..why don’t I remember..WHAT HAPPEN TO ME" . He then frowns "Sorry.." , He mutters quietly after the outburst.

Benar says, "I am Elder Benar," He says softly, placing a paw on Scioto's arm, "You cannot remember because of the injury to your head," He stands up, "Come along, let’s get you something to help you sleep."

Emmit frowns but says, "Farewell for now."

Scioto nods and lets Benar lead him to where ever he is going, "Alright..Benar"

Benar helps Scioto upstairs and gets him a potion that should hopefully help him to sleep without dreams and heal...

Scioto follows Benar, once in a quiet room he drinks the mixture and lies down to go to sleep, drifting off rather quickly into a dreamless sleep.
