"Ai tells me he actually has only two rules enforced in this house these days... one you think before you do... and two... clear all insanities with the management first...." drawls Bez with a grin.
"Bez!" cries Tam in dismay. Then he laughs. "But ye know... he's pretty much got it down pat. He forgot we all pull our share in the cottage. No free rides... right, Kero?" he adds with a wink.

*Kero nods*
Not a one....except for me...and because I fill your bellies...and produce some of the house's income, that's acceptable...
**One of the main reason's Kero does fewer chores...you try to sweep a floor/wash dishes after you've run twenty miles to get somewhere...then twenty miles back with a sack of rocks on your shoulder**

"We all do our share and I'm well aware of all you do do around here." says Tam with a smile. He hands Salunia a damp rag to wipe her face. But Puss is on the table next to her, trying to clean her first.

"Well, the only one of us working right now is Puss... So I say we get busy and tuck a few more of these into our tummies and follow suit. This kitchen isn't going to clean itself." laughs Bez, helping Tam fix up a tray for Hopian and Fortuny.

Tam takes the tray into the living room and wakes the two sleeping adults. "Wakey... wakey... you two.... Something tells me ye were up a lot last night, hmmm?" laughs Tam sitting the tray on the floor before them. "So all I'm going to ask right now is... tea... milk... or juice...?"

*Hope smiles, licking the head of a sleeping cub*
Milk...for both of us, I think...

Tam nods and goes for the milk, telling Salunia to go say good morning to her parents.

*She bounces in, pouncing on Hope...and a family morning commences...with every single one of the family doting on the cubs...until Kero suddenly stiffens again...and speaks in a sonorous voice*
What is going on here, my nephew?

*The lion suddenly shivers, and seems to convulse*
Back, you old Wyrm...my body, not yours....I've known you for thirteen million years, ever since you embraced me, consumed by rage as I was...

Bez stares at him and seems to take a fighting pose, sliding slowly back from the table.
Tam sees this and places a calming hand on his arm. "Family matters..." he quips and shakes his head. "Uncle, I know ye can come here iffin ye truly want. We only asked that ye let him grow undisturbed, so why not do so and leave Kero alone?"

*Kero chuckles derisively*
He's gone, Talesian. Alone among the thirteen of us, I posess the power to kick him out...and I have done so.
*Looks at Bez*
Luciel of the coppered gold, at your hand.

"Luciel... the dragon born.... " says Bez slowly, relaxing but only a little. His senses are super sharp and he feels something out of the ordinary. "I take it, that whoever tried to come over is familiar to both you and Ai... and since he called him Uncle, I think I know who it was... the snake... right?"
