ahhh... i suspect their enchanted... this is a tonal harp, it shouldn't need retuning... though it only plays in one key... kind of like my travel harp but with few strings... try it... it's meant to be played with picks or as in the case of corby and crys... claws...

*Kero picks out a simple scale...like he would play on his pipes...which he has learned to play very well...he's a traveling marvel of Tam's that way...*

*Kero guides him to the village...but gets into a spot of trouble when he slashes at some boys who pull his tail....he draws blood...and they run off crying to their mamas...who immediately confront Tam, saying it's a pity when boys can't play while their parents are at market*

tam nods in agreement and begins to hum a peace keeping tune sub vocally, hoping to calm everyone down... he examines the boys' injuries and heals them... all except for the tiniest of scratches so the parents are confused as to the true extent of the injuries... then he snares kero and leaves town right away before his spell wears off...
a few miles away he sits the lion down and crashes on the leaf mold beside him... one sneeze then two... then he pushes himself up and frowns... need a cave or some kind of shelter... kero... please... he begs... looking at the sky... what he can see of it through the gathering gloom beneath the trees....

*Kero...who is insanel pissed off, refuses, tunneling underground, straight down...Tam sees the incident replay in Kero's mind...along with a question*
Translation: You saw what happened...yet you take their side...

tam sighs and tries to find shelter on his own... he winds up in an abandoned animal burrow under an old fallen tree... he hunkers down and tries to rest... wondering if kero will ever really understand that he had been too exhausted to have done much of anything else but get them out of town... he knew kero was innocent in some ways, but he also knows that kero's claws are dangerous weapons... in effect in tam's mind, although he was angry at the boys for pulling kero's tail, he is also angry at kero for taking the recourse he did... he sees kero's claws as lethal weapons and ye don't respond to a childish prank by slashing with knives at yer antagonists...

*Suddenly, he feels the ground underneath him collapse ever so slightly...he slide's down a wide tunnel...eventually gently landing in a small cave...there are huge crystals...and Kero has managed to make some of them glow with his own crystal...the cave is very brightly lit...and it's warm...there's a hot spring inside...Kero himself is sitting by the spring, staring into the crystals*

tam gets up and brushes himself off... then he goes and gives kero a hug.... before examining their surrounding more closely... removing his pack, he checks the water for drinkablility and finds it caustic... sighing he settles back against a rock and takes small sips form the water bag he had had kero fill that morning...
ye ok, little one... does it smart over much... sorry i couldn't take the time to tell ye what i was up to... he says at last when kero keeps ignoring him....

*Kero sends him an impression of his entire body tingling, with a caustic reminder of his own*
Translation: Remember what's in my rump? When they pulled my tail, the gland split....

aye... not doubt it did, but ye came nigh on slicing clear through the muscle on the one boys leg... he'd have been crippled for life had i not taken care of it then and there... and had his parent gotten a true look at what ye did... neither of us would have made it out of that town without a fight... a fight we truly did not need to wage...
tam sighs and moves to the young lion's side... kero, i'm sorry if i seemed indifferent back there... i wasn't... it's just... ye over reacted... that's all... as it is... the spell i set was temporary at best... i had spent so much energy on ye earlier that in order for me to heal him even as sloppy a job as i did... i could only mask our departure... i could not sway them completely... i suspect briarstowne is no longer on my list of safe havens...

*Kero looks at Tam...then, to his amazement, speaks*
Hopian, hear now my plea
Opal's Child, come to me
*Tam feels an electric crackle behind him...as Hopian appears...with a dead antelope in his mouth, which he soon spits out*
Dare I ask why I'm here?

*Hopian goes and talks with Kero...his D. Miner so much more eloquent...then comes back to Tam*
You know...he thinks yer mad at him, too...and that that's why you took the boy's side...He'll listen to you now...and here...this amulet will let you speak D. Miner for an hour....
*Disappears*
