"Wing Falls Ill" Log Date: 9/21/02 (Approximated) Log Cast: Rosewind, Starfire, Wing, Lifefire, Bluedawn Log Intro: Not long after the huge sandstorm that overwhelmed Sorrow's End, Wing is found in a strangely antisocial state by Rosewind and the young cub Starfire; as Lifefire and then Bluedawn join them, Wing collapses in the grip of a serious fever. ---------- Campfire Ledge A wide, level ledge atop a hill covered with tumbled boulders. Here the village can come to meet and celebrate. Under the open sky they can see the stars and gather around the campfire. The village goes about its everyday business, villagers tending the fields and working at their crafts. You can see the 'garden', the 'square' and the 'well' from this ledge. You can also 'view well'. Contents: Rosewind(#797PVXce$0) Obvious exits: Boundary path Rosewind slip up the trail with Nightstalker walking slowly at her side. Starfire perched on the black wolf's back giggling and "I'm a big wolfrider like my papa. Look mama." Roe smiles and looks to her son "And you going to go hunting gor the den too?" The wind blows gently on this hill, and even the Sunstar seems to shine with gentle rays what is surely the wind's influence. The Sorrow's Ender are busy with their work at the foot of the hill, and usually no one would be sitting here - if not someone that would seek for some peace from what has been going on recently. Sure, everything is cleaned up now after that havok the sandstorm caused, and it seems as if nothing has ever happened, but Wing's face might tell differently. He doesn't even notice Rosewind and the cub ... or maybe he just doesn't want to. He just sits at the edge of the hill, looking into the distance. Rosewind and her bond move over to the campfire. She spots Wing and grins ** Shade Wing. ** She plops down ont e log and sees the fire seems to be dwindling, so she adds a bit of fuel to the fire as Nightstalker stops and waits for Starfire to get down. Wing looks over his shoulder, and lifts an eyebrow as Rosewind lights the fire - hell, it's day, so why put up fire? - but he just shrugs off and continues starring over the village, **Heyla Rosewind.** Rosewind pokes at the embers and likes the glowing oranges and reds the pek through. ** I hope I'm not interrupting you Wing. I just thought we would come up here to get away fromt eh hudtle and bustle of the village for a little while. How have you been doing? ** Starfire gives a little pout and reluctantly slides down from Nightstalker's back. "I am fine, thanks.", Wing says, and well, this is clearly a lie. You can't see his face, but that he doesn't send should say more than the glance on his face. Sitting there like a stone, all you might sense is a big frustration. Rosewind turns her gaze fully onto Wing and she watches him for a shirt time ** You are not fine. I can tell you are fibbing Wing. What's wrong. ** she moves over to sit next to you with a look of concern clearly on her face. Wing looks to the side, not able to meet Rosewind's gaze, "It's nothing ... Rosewind, please.." He seems to tremble, and his features are far from being calm and like stone. Rosewind sighs a bit and eases away from Wing. Thinking it is her presance that bothers him, she goes silent but still tries to send pleasant and comforting thoughts towards he friend. Wing lowers his head immediatly as Rosewind goes away from him, and he still trembles. Why is he so closed up? And why does he denies to send to Rosewind? He even closes her out from his mind. Rosewind doesn't force her comfort on wing, instead she sits by quietly waiting for when her friend is ready to talk, if he ever is. Nightstalker and starfire slip closer and the cub crouches down in front of Wing with his ever cheery expression "Hi Wing" As Starfire settles down in front of Wing, it might be quite noticable - even for the cub - that Wing hasn't eaten well the recent days. And at least Rosewind should know that Wing hasn't been seen very often recently. In fact no one really knew where he went to. But now, that the cub sits in front of him, he returns from his state of being like a trembling stone. At first his eyes are cold, but then his lips turn to a smile, and a faint, "Hello Starfire." slips from his lips. Starfire giggles and scooches a little closer to peer up with wide happy eyes to Wing. "Are you ok Wing?" Being a very straightforward and innocent cub he goes on "You don't look good. Are you thirsty? Mama has juice and dried whitetail in a pouch" Wing looks startled at the litte Starfire, and withdraws himself a bit, "I feel fine." What is again a blunt lie, what should be quite obvious in his somewhat grey skintone that is usually of a strong bronze. "But yes, I could use some water ..." Starfire grins and goes over to Rosewind, whose pulls the little juice skin away from ehr belt, and reaches into a pouch to gie some large peices of dried meat. The cub grins and slips over to Wing, acting as if he wants to crawl up into the elf's lap "Here Wingy. Mama dried the meat herself. It's really good." The cub offers both skin and meat to Wing. Wing sighs and his shell of frustration break as he looks into the innocent eyes of Starfire, taking what he has to offer, "Thanks little one." Gnawing at the meat, he eats slowly. <<**I am sorry for being such a troll, Rosewind.**>>, Wing sends to Rosewind in a lock-send. Rosewind gives a little shrugs "I never thought you were acting like a roll Wing. I just figured you had something that were bothering you and you are not ready to talk about them yet." She offers a friendly smile "It's ok. I understand how it is. When you are ready. Then you will want to talk. Until then i'm here if you need me." Wing looks back over his shoulder, smiling faintly at Rosewind. As he gulps hardly on the juice, sweat-perls form on his forehead. With a glazed glance in his eyes he turns to look at Starfire, rubbing his eyes, groaning slightly Lifefire climbs up the path from the Boundary Path below. Lifefire has arrived. Starfire wiggles up into Wing's lap and beams at the older elf "She made the juice ehrself anf the dried meat his very good." The innocent cubling gives a playful poke at Wing's belly "Yoiu ar too skinny." Wing winces at the poke, and ouches, looking down at the cub, "Yes, the juice is indeed very good." Instead of stroking through the cubling's hair, he holds tight to the ground, as if he wouldn't he would fall. Lifefire comes up to the ledge after a long day working in the forge and smiles, "Shade all." Rosewind watches Wing for a few minutes thoughtfully as Starefire seems to be working his charming cub magic on the elf. Hearing someone else coming up along the path, she turns and waves "Shade Lifefire." Wing doesn't notice Lifefire coming, nor that Rosewind greets him. He seems suddenly very off, and his body is still trembling. Lifefire smiles as he moves over to sit down near Rosewind and smiles, "How are you to doing?" Rosewind glances back to Wing briefly before looking to Lifefire. "I'm doing alright. Starfire coaxed Nightstalker into playing his favorite game. Benn riding 'Stalker all around the village today howling and being a strong wolfrider. Just at this moment, Wing collapses, and his body falls limp over poor little Starfire. Not even the slightest send or sound does come from him, he just goes all lifeless all the sudden. Lifefire blinks and looks over at Wing, "Wing are you all right?" He movers over to him and gently shakes his shoulder. Bluedawn climbs up the path from the Boundary Path below. Bluedawn has arrived. Rosewind looks quickly to Wing as he collapses. Starfire under him and he whimpers as a cub would ** Wing! ** She moves over to help as she sends to him Wing, obviously, is unconscious, and doesn't react to Lifefire's shaking. But he is soaken with sweat, and that doesn't really seem to come from the desert's sun, for the wind gently blows here, and the heat is not so present here like down in the Village. Wing doesn't even react to Rosewind's send. Bluedawn has wandered around the village in a bit of a daze. She's sometimes known for doing things like that. Espically when in a new town. Her feet brings her up here, perhaps for a view of the place. She gets there just in time to see one of the elves present collapse. She freezes in her spot and looks. Lifefire gently picks up Wing, "Come on lets get him to Savah." He sends to the Mother of Memory that Wing has collapsed and then need her. Rosewind frowns and takes Starfire and hugs him. The cub's eyes are fixed intently on Wing as Lifefire takes the limp elf. She spots anther elf and nods as she follows to see Savah "Would you help us?" This to the elf she doesn't recognize.
