Bez's thoughts are warm and fuzzy, all silvery and soft. In here his gruff rough voice loses it's harshness and slips across Kero's mind like a silken robe. It is easy to see why he was considered the Prince of Deception.
"Kero," he says settling in with a mental smile. "Show me how you erect your inner shields.... no need to lower the ones you have, but talk be through it... and I'll see if I can tailor my instructions to what you already know how to do."

*Instantly, it seems, Bez finds himself sandwiched between two walls of iron*

Bez laughs. "A little breathing room would be nice... and I se your problem... no permeability. Even on yer inner shields ye need to keep it from walling you out completely. Drop these and I'll show you what I mean."

"I can use one of several methods. Ai used music with me, but light is good as well as color... you could even use yer wall concept but iffin ye do ye'll need to think in terms of flexibility... The easiest concept is that of an onion and what we normally start the beginners on. But it is also the more difficult one to adapt. Why don't you pick what feels natural to you... and we'll go from there." comes Bez's mind voice wrapping his thoughts in a sheltering comfort.

*Suddenly, Kero's consciousness shifts, becoming older and wiser*
Sorry to take over here, Bezernia...but I am going to teach the little one a thing or two, okay? There are shields peculiar to our kind...and they are the only ones we can use in relative safety...We'll be right there with you once I'm done.

Kerobian receives the equivalent of a mental shrug and Bez slides out of his thoughts, leaving him to do what he thought best. Unlike his more emotional counterpart, he lived by a certain degree of practicality. Ai was the empath, Bez the realist.

*After about five minutes, Kero nods, his eyes shifting back to green*
Oh...wow...no wonder I couldn't use them....a basic shield is built of pure energy...and my powers eat energy....that makes a lot of sense.
*Looks at Bez*
You can come in again.

Bez looks up from where he is icing a batch of cinnamon buns and smiles. "Here, eat one while I finish this, then we can work... okay?"

*Kero looks at the bun*
Certainly...although Bez...may I ask why you didn't just place a small line of icing inside the buns before they baked?
**It spreads out and sweetens the entire interior of the bun...handy little trick**

Bez looks down at his handiwork. "Because Ai did the baking and I am doing the touch up work... iffin ye got a complaint, take it up with the management..." he grumbles reaching for another one and layering on a thick gooey coat. "Dang... and I thought I was doing such a bang up job, too..."
Tam walks up behind him and kisses him on top of the head. "Ye are... Kero's just a picky cook... and as for why I didn't... never learned to cook them that way... Ye always kicked me out of the kitchen when ye made them..."

Sorry, Bez...I didn't mean to criticize...

"Hey, it's alright... I didn't take offense... Just didn't know you could do it that way... I still like a ton of icing on mine though. And something tells me iffin ye do it yer way, ye'd still have to do this as well... right?" laughs Bezernia waving his spatula in the air. "So pick one... any one.. and iffin ye get the lucky one..." he waggles his eye brows, making Kero and Tam laugh.
"Whaf... whaf..." pipes Salunia from the doorway. "Wahf ye get?"
Bez laughs. "Ye get all gooey and sweet and Puss will come and lick ye clean."

*Kero laughs, selecting one of the heavily gooed ones*
Sira...can you explain something to me...since I seem to have recovered some of my Voidmagic...and can call on my older self now....is there a reason why I would want candy and sweet, sugary things...more than usual, I mean?

Tam sits down at the table and pushes a glass of milk his way and another for Salunia. "Outside of the fact you have always had a sweet tooth the size of Mt. Everest... actually, sugar is energy food... does that ring a bell anywhere? Salunia... take one at a time, dearling. I don't care if you eat more than that, but start with one so there's no waste."
