Welcome to Gaia! ::

But Lyssan is fighting for not only her own life but that of her mate as well as her son and his small budding family. (no pun intended there) As such she draws on a strength Kero cannot touch, that of a lover, a mother, and a friend, for she knows what the mage will eventually do if he succeeds and she refuses to be a factor towards his end.

Sitting down carefully next to the pile lyssan begins to slowly feed her stolen energy back into it. Not all at once, but slowly at a trickle, not wishing to resume the struggle, waiting to see if sanity has been restored. a crystaline tear falls from the corner of her eye and lands like a sparkling gem in the center of the pile. Too many people would find great gaping holes in their lives if she did not succeed in pulling him back together. Tes, Luna, Talesian... not to mention Ame and herself, plus Keva and Rhea. Heck, even Jor would certainly miss the spunky, self-willed entity he called his apprentice.

So she sits there and watches over him, unwilling to move the dust for fear of losing some of him.

Rolling her eyes the kitsune shifts into a fox and curls up nearby. Amestru and Tam both snore and quite loudly. Over the years she's found that hearing it was relaxing, almost soothing, and finds herself drifting off to sleep.

cracking an eye she flicks him with her tail. "Feeling better?" she asks with a yawn.

The door opens and Amestru barges in, eye's wild, followed closely behind by Tes.

Lyssan sighs and shakes her head. "Yer a little slow, m'lord. What took ye so long?"

"I didn't know where he was and was afraid to ask anyone for directions." stammers Tes awkwardly. "Didn't want people running in on an explosion.

Ame kneels down next to them and examines them both carefully. "Well, Lyssie, yer none the worse for the wear, but Kero... yer a shadow of yerself..."

"He needs to go hunt. Is the shield still up on the preserve?" asks Lyssan with a yawn.

Ame shakes his head no. "Took it down like you asked me to, so some of Kai's clan could move in. Will you promise me to keep the hunting to small brethren... the non-sentient?" he asks Kero worriedly.

"Then you know where it lies. Keva says he's taken ye there before." says Amestru quietly, though it is obvious that he is seething with questions.

Amestru looks at Tes and sighs. "I could take him, or you could, my dear. I would far rather stay and talk to my mate though... it is rather important that I do so."

Alysian shakes her head. "No, it is far more important that he hunts. We don't need a recurrence here... and he and I are too much alike when our energy runs low. I know what will happen if he does have a relapse."
