*Kero, however, cares about intent and action, not name, and sends them according to those parameters*

*ah, but what were those intents.... that is the underlying question... oftentimes they are not so clear as that...*
After about a month of this, with Rhea and him sharing the workload, and Ai appearing from time to time to coax him into taking a rest, Kero finally feels free enough to visit the Isle once again. Since he had broken a promise to his brother, completely unintentionally but broken it nonetheless, he begins to frantically dig about his voidic home searching out the perfect apology gift.

*And cannot seem to find one, and he can already feel his flesh beginning to atrophy as his power betrays him*

Then Rhea comes walking into the room carrying a potted peppermint from Shi's old garden.

*Kero nods his thanks, teleporting into Em's home, now more skeletal than ever*

Emnast takes one look at him and pushes him into a seat at the kitchen table, tossing a haunch down on it's surface, not even bothering to cook it. "Inhale that while I whip you up something better." he instructs him, looking at the peppermint plant, wondering why his brother would be bringing him that. Not that he minded the gift, he happened to like peppermint tea, but this one seemed decidedly different than the plants he had seen growing in Ai's gardens.

*Kero literally inhales it, but cannot seem to do more*
Em...I...I'm sorry. I wasn't...I didn't keep...my promise...to come...

Em chuckles ruefully and shakes his great head. "Heck, if something came up... something came up. Mara brought the news up the day after you left, saying you needed to go back to do some work. I didn't mind. You have a job that needs doing, and while I enjoy your company, I'd hate to see what would happen if you let it bottle neck too long." He rolls his eyes dramatically and gives the mage an affectionate noggie.

Thanks, Em. Thank you sooooo much.

"Whoa...!" cries Emnast in alarm. "Hey, wait a minute... were you worried I'd be angry?" he asks in surprize.

I die if I break a promise and am refused forgiveness, Emnast.

Emnast may be white in color, but he somehow manages to go even paler than that. "Then don't you ever do such a thing again... no more promises between us. We will simply agree that if you say you will do something and can't, I have already forgiven ye... got that? Sheesh, Lucy, you just shaved a 100 years off my life."

*Kero nods*
Very well. I hope you like your present, though. It...It came from Shia's garden...

Emnast picks up the pot and studies it carefully. "It... it's different... why?" he asks in a rough edged voice touching one of the oddly striped leaves with a tender claw.
