tam does a headsmack and laughs bitterly... talk about poor communication.... i told him quite clearly he wouldn't speak again until he learned to do so properly...
then he does another headsmack... of course... i bet he thought i meant learns to speak... as if he was a child all over again... but even iffin that was the case, hopian... he shoudl have been making some attempt to communicate with me... ye just don't open yer mouth and it's there... language is a learned art... he sighs and rubs his face....
and i warned him not to keep all that bottled up inside... damn... he's gonna blow and blow big... i may need body armor when he does... any suggestions.... i'm fresh out and just about ready to slam me fist into a tree again... and we both know where that will get me... absolutely nowhere....

*Hopian nods*
A simple one, really....all ye have to do is take the gag off Kero...but explain why you did it...talk to him...and the next time he swears...just stop and sit him somewhere...if you're in an inn...put him in a corner...trust me...his mind is so active...time-out is the worst punishment for him...short-term, anyways...believe me, it works...and I'm sorry...I wasn't expecting him to react to yer gag like this...or I would have warned you...

tam sighs... thanks, hopian... maybe not speaking for three months will have helped... but i've got this nagging suspicion it hasn't... sorry to pull ye from yer lady friend... better go make it up to her with this... and tosses hopian a necklace dripping with a rainbow of gemstones... each perfectly cut... some fan tried to win her way into me bed with that one... didn't work... rarely does... but she didn't ask for it back and she was such a nuisance i kept the dang thing... it's a bit to gaudy for me though... maybe yer lady can make better use of it than i....

*Hopian chuckles*
Oh...she'll like it...but Fortuniana is all about luck...she the child of the Lapis...but she'll forgive me...this once...
*He disappears...and Kero wakes up...and comes over to Tam...his eyes still grey*

*His eyes turn orange...as dark as orange can get...and he nods...a tear leaking from his right eye...then Tam feels a touch in his mind*
Please...Sira

tam nods and sits down before him, pulling him onto his lap... very well... close yer eyes... and think very very hard how much ye want to speak... think hard now... can ye feel iit? is it bubbling up inside of ye... do ye want to talk, kero... really really talk... then he begins to sing softly at first drawing kero into the song.. letting him find his own words to the music... pulling him up and out of himself.... allowing the gag to fall as he does... letting him speak... letting him sing.....

*And sing Kero does...amazed at the joy of being able to speak...he sings of love and life...but ends the song on a questioning note...aimed at Tam...*

tam sings with him... showing him the depths and the heights... and showering him with love, acceptance and understanding as he does so... letting him know that no matter how kero feels, he'll always be there... loving him... sheltering him.... capiche? says tam softly giving him a hug... call me yer guardian angel... (ha! hint if ever there was one) i'm here, kerobian... and ye'll never truly be alone... unless ye don't want me around anymore... he says the last in a sad, worried tone of voice...

*Kero shakes his head....and sends him four different pictures...things he had seen performed in inns and other houses....a child sitting in a corner....a child over his parent's knee....a child sitting, watching others play....and a child with a spoon full of soap in his mouth...Tam gets a question feeling...twice over*
Wat...dese?

those are punishments, just as not allowing ye to speak was a punishment... so iffin ye do something wrong, kero, such as swearing, what shall it be... yer old enough now to know right from wrong... and old enough to know that a punishment is given when ye cross that line between the two... so what shall we do when ye do....
