She shakes hers head slowly, relieved. "I... I speak your words poorly. Forgive?" she begs with a bow.

*Kero nods*
Of course, of course. You don't know much of my deadly powers, or my dread magic, do you, Kai? Probably only the stories you heard in Elysium, huh? Tell me, do they still tell that one where a young Kitsune wandered in, and was set upon by yours truly. The one where he was besieged with illusions until he went madder than a hatter?

She shakes her head slowly, her long green hair falling in her eyes. Sweeping it aside she smiles shyly at him. "That tale I do not know, but the one of the brave fell sorcerer who fell the enemy of our far too proud Lady and rescued her kin, I do. You may find, Sir Mage, that our memories for slights may be long, but those for our benefit be truly longer. Some still fear you, but others are beginning to wonder at the depth of their vehemence. How much of it was truly earned by our own behavior as to how much was earned by yours. It takes two to war, sirrah."

*Kero chuckles*
Which Lady? Lady Lyssan? Lady Amaterasu?

Kai smiles sweetly at him, "The Lady Lyssan turned her back on our realm when her kin attempted to put you to judgement. Me thinks you know well of whom I speak. Now I must go. To the keep's healer I must seek for to her keeping I have been sent. Please rest here and let the peace of my garden fill you."

*Kero smiles, and leaves Tes for a moment, hugging Kai*
Be well, young mother. And treasure that which lies beneath your heart.

She flashes him another shy smile and bows her way out of the garden. Well, she tries to bow her way out, it looks more like she is waddling but even then she remains as graceful as a willow.

Towards evening, Keveka and Kai, both solemnly garbed in balck silk trimmed with embroideries of deep emerald green and gold, come to the garden to fetch them. Keveka's face is thin and sad, Kai's worried, as they escort the couple to the small outdoor temple that the keep tends at the far end of Lyssan's gardens. Most of the keep is present, including Luna, who stands nervously by Amestru and Enia.

She nods at him and motions Tes forward as well, positioning them across the small altar from her, with it tiny bundle.
"Tonught, beneath the light of the mother, we gather to place another into the arms of creation... to rest, perchance to sleep... until the weave opens to receive them once again.
"Kerobian and Tesibility, your grief is as wide as the oceans, encompassing all you do, but you need not walk this road alone. Another grieves with you. Small and uncertain, but willing to help you carry it. May she join you?"

*Kero nods, a single crystalline tear forming in his eyes...one that shocks the ones in the audience who still believed him a monster, incapable of love, and beckons to Luna*
Come then, my daughter.

*Kero smiles*
I didn't want you to be sad, Luna. You being happy helped me to be happy again.
*Tes picks her up, holding her close*
Daddy's right, Luna. You helped us both a lot by being happy. Thank you.
