It had been a long time since Hans left the castle. It is now Winter. Although everybeast there would be worries by now. Messages from Hans have been brought and the news is recent. Which is good mainly because it shows he has not gotten killed.
Salvador. The mighty monitor. The most powerful beast on this island. Leader of the Royal Guard. No beast on Marlfox Island can defeat him in head on combat! But there is ONE enemy he fears. One enemy that cannot be killed. One who's power can put down even the most powerful lizard. The Winter cold...
Salvador was in his chambers with his rathide cloak about him next to the fire. His face an unhealthy green color. He was slow and sluggish. He was also sick and weak. Salvador was not his aggressive and commanding self. He was quiet and almost pitiful looking. William was forced to take his place...

Toboe trundled carefully up to the monitor captain's romm with a large basin, a pot of hot water and some extra blankets along with some extra firewood he'd found. He opened the door carefully and set the load at Salvador's feet. He set the blankets on his lap so he could wrap in them as he liked and filled the basin with the hot water and soaked his feet in it help warm him up. After he made sure the windows were sealed to keep out the cold, he put some more firewood on the fire and moved Salvador's chair and the basin a little closer to it. There you go. That oughtta perk you right up, Sir. |

The monitor could only stare at the cat with his reptilian eyes. Poor monitor. Reptiles could give so little emotion other than anger and fear. Rarely happiness or humor. Any beast who had seen monitors could only guess on what goes inside a monitor's heart and mind.
"Monitorz...... Are my monitorz alive? Im i going to die?" The monitor's voice seemed to give a hint of fear in it. Where he was born. There was bearly any such thing as the cold. It was almost always warm. But here. The cold is the monitor's biggest enemy and it visits far more often. It's deadly chill trying to reach through even the smallest creak in the walls to reach him.
The cold is death to monitors. The death is any monitor's most horrible nightmare and fear...

Toboe patted the large lizard's head soothingly and wrapped a couple blankets around him. Don't you worry about a thing, mate. I got all your monitors well taken care of and warm. And no, you aren't going to die. I'll make sure of it. Is there anything else you need? A warm drink or some hot food maybe? |

" I would...... Like zome nice warm drinkz and foodz." The monitor replied. His voice seemed to sound stronger than before. Meaning that warming him up was starting to work. His body functions should run a lot more smoother too. Which is also a good sign.
Veva was serving again. Turned out William was sick. But not by poison. Though by now he was a lot better and even has taken Salvador's place till he gets better. Despite this. This only got her out of a cell. Nothing more. There could still be trouble. It mainly depended on Hans when he ever got back. It was still a plus that she was out of that dark and damp cell through. She had a silver platter in here paws with roasted pike and some type of warm liquid in chalices. Though these drinks was for the corsair captains.

Toboe nodded understandingly. Alright. I'll get you some warm food and drink. Do you have any preferences, Sir? He asked because he wasn't sure what sort of food the monitor was hungry for or what he was in the mood to drink. |

"I like the pike. Az for drinkz. Anything..... Pleaze...." The monitor replied. Although he had been paranoid about the cat before. He had started to trust Toboe a little. Mainly because he was helping him and his monitors live through the winter cold.
Safira had been enjoying herself. This castle has it's fair share of Blue Sapphire and nothing made her more happy then seeing the beautiful look of Blue Sapphire. She at the dinning room's long dinner table. Enjoying the taste of roasted fish along with her crew. The other captains. Hookclaws, RazorClaws, and Barraconda along with their crews. When Safira was finished eating. She left the dinning room and staggerd out into the hall. Drunk from cup after cup of seaweed grog.

Toboe nodded and walked out of the room, careful to close the door quietly and completely so as not to disturb the lizard or let any of the warmth out of the room. He walked down the steps and past the dining hall where he stopped and watched the drunken Captain. |

Safira had a mug of seaweed grog in her right paw. Bumping into the walls and never seeming to talk in a straight line. She noticed Toboe. Or Toboes. She stared at him with a drunken look and than smiled "Ahoy there kitty! Tis ol' Salvador holdn' on to dear life? Hope 'e aint slippin'. Where's that rat Veva? I need'er refill! Hehehehehehe......." The Ferret was giggling. Which was wonderful signs. Because most Corsairs and searats that become drunk are often fighting and beating the heck out of each other. So it was great that Safira was a "happy drunk."
She pulled the mug up in a attempt to take another drink but ended up spilling it all over herself. Causing her to lean against the wall with a arm and laugh as her right arm hung and the mug fell out of her grip. "Hehehehehehe..... Thats gonna leave a stain..."

Toboe shook his head and sighed as he eased his way past her as he continued making his way down to the kitchens. He'd have to have a word or two with Hans about this later on when he returned to the island. |

Veva quickly came to the corsair. Not wanting to keep her waiting. She refilled the mug, placed it in the Ferret's paw and than went on to the dinning room. Not wanting to be around the corsair ferret in case her drunkenness suddenly turns violent.
Safira once again tried to drink from her mug. Bearly even noticing Veva. She manage to drink about half of it. The rest spilled all over her again and onto the floor. Finally. The mug fell from her grip again and her finally fell over and passed out in the hall.

Toboe walked into the kitchens, grabbed a generous portion of the cooked piked and some warm cider, and walked back out again. He walked back up the stairs and walked back into the monitor's room, closing the door carefully again. |

The Monitor was feeling better now. He did not feel as cold as before. He's healthy color was starting to come back. His eyes looked more alive than before. These were all very very good signs. More likely it improved his temper too maybe.

Toboe set the cup down as he held the plate out for the monitor to take. He sat on the floor at the lizard's feet, ready to obey any commands the monitor might give or any requests he might give. |

The Massive Monitor took a big bite out of the pike and than drank it down with the drink Toboe had given him and finally spoke in his reptilian accent tongue. "Thiz iz good. Zo what iz going on outzide my chamberz?" He honestly had no idea. Nor did any of his monitor guards. They had been forced to seek warmth in their chambers since the weather turned cold....
