A Winter to Freeze Your Heart part 2

OOC: 

BIC: "Back at Brockhall. Honestly, I can't believe you never came over. Come on, we better be getting back. I'm starving."

[Cornflower MM]

"Are you kidding? I got lost the second I stepped paw in Mossflower...,Finding this old place? Not happening....Should we leave Arya out here? All by herself? Those two over there are a bit too wrapped up in the other at the moment." Bryant said, his eyes gleamed as he ragged Ushen.

     As Ervoyce looked up at her, he thought of something. Though her sodden, punished form would not suggest it to others, her welcoming expression, loving care, and gentle, supportive embrace equated her to an angel in his eyes (granted, a bit of a strange one)... Funny, he'd just now figured out what she looked like to him now that her appearance would seemingly contradict this revelation. With Vatra's help, he stood slowly and spoke, "You need not apologize to me Vatra, but if it still means something, you were forgiven long ago." 

[Faiyloe]

"I... I guess that is why you keep coming back for me." She said. The rain was subsiding to a drizzle the trees collecting water on there leaves and letting go in big drops to land on there already wet heads and shoulders. Vatra felt so happy but it felt strange and she was unsure what to say. She had not felt like this in so long perhaps even ever.

       Ervoyce let his left arm sag off of Vatra's shoulder before turning to face Brockhall, "Well, we're both soaked, and I think it safe to say ravished. I would say 'after you,' but I might never get in that way." He leaned on his right side to make use of her support as he waited to enter the hollowed tree.

Vatra took his weight and started down the spiral stairs even though he was quite a lot heavier than she expected. "We should get you back to sickbay... How did you get out without getting stopped by the sister?"

[rachel25]

Ushen nodded, "I guess, by the way, what's your connection to her, huh?"

[Dannflower Reguba]

     Ervoyce smiled as the question was posed, "That's a story for another day, but rest assured she probably won't come back to the infirmary for awhile." Going up the stairs seemed comparatively easy in hindsight, stepping down repeatedly was a rather treacherous task in this condition.

[Faiyloe]

Varta Smiled at the thought. The stairs where damp from the rain leaking under the door and Ervoyce was heavy. she kept almost falling or tripping but they made it in the end if not completely unscathed.  The hall was dimly lit and several lanterns had gone out.

[Dannflower Reguba]

       Ervoyce squinted into the hall, trying to locate a couple of definable features to pin down their exact location, "I think it's straight ahead, then a peel to the left." Lifting his left arm, the squirrel used the hard, wooden walls to alleviate some of the pressure on Vatra.

[Faiyloe]

After their long slow trek threw the halls they finally reached the sickbay. Vatra helped Ervoyce into one of the beds and then plopped her self down into the one next to him. She realized just how tired she was. they had done a lot in one night and she was worn out. 

[Cornflower MM]

Ushen nodded, "I guess, by the way, what's your connection to her, huh?"

"Oh, nothing much." Bryant said, then shreugged. "I was out living by myself in the dunes by that big fire mountain, I think they call it Salamderstone? But, anyways, I was outr foraging one day and found her, three-quarters dead, one quarter delirious. So I helped herf get back on her paws, and then she left, and then a season or so ago I heard she was in this area, and decided to go see her. But, honestly? She's not looking so cute any more...With her comes helping get her friends Abbey back, one rather pretty squirrelmaid who goes around killing people if she gets too cheesed, one black squirrel, who, as mentioned before, is normal he's strange, a senile Abbess, and did I mention her grief issues?" He said, casually slinging his arm around Ushen's shoulders. "So, what have you been up to these past, I dunno, 18 seasons, besides hiding out here?

[rachel25]

Ushen shrugged, as they walked, "I haven't spent all that much time here. I've been up hill, an' down dale. I've been to the ice lands, far out south, sailed the Eastern Sea. Been to loads of islands in the Western Sea. So, all over the place I guess overs it."

[Cornflower MM]

"Wow. You get out and about more than I do." Bryant said, laughing. Then he looked back to see if Arya was alright, to note that she had vanished. She had, in fact, gone in shortly after Ervoyce and Vatra, slipping silently along, and had gone to her room, were she was now sleeping. Or, rather, trying to.

[rachel25]

"I guess so." Ushen smiled, how odd it was to be talking to his brother after all these years.
Ushen opened the door, and began making his way downstairs quickly, he was starving!
