Welcome to Gaia! ::

Bez grins widely. "Iffin the cut fits, wear it... with style... don't just let someone name ye... be the name. Someone has to keep us miscreants in line, ye know. And ye do the job well. Me... I'm not one to worry about the details... you do. Nothing wrong with that, ye know.It takes all kinds to make the world run right. Iffin we were all the same, what a boring place it would be... right?" He bows and turns back to Tam.

"If I have learned anything... anything at all, from my swedh... it's that variety is good... no... not only good... necessary... to keep creation from going stagnant. It took me forever to understand where he was coming from, but now I think I do. The ability to think for oneself... to act for oneself... to choose for oneself... whether it be for good or for bad... is vital for true ascension. It is the choices we make that either raise us or condemn us in the end."

Bez chuckles softly. "Hey... who listens to a kid? Of course when they hit ye oer the head with a big bat called reality, things seem a bit clearer... anyway. I'm beat and my bed is occupied... Is it alright to sleep in his then?"

Tam shakes his head. He seems to be doing a lot of that lately, but he is smiling at the same time. "Go ahead. You can't catch what he has anyway... but no need to risk spreading it to the others."

Tam goes in to start dinner, wondering who all is staying. Thinking it might be best to ask they and let them decide he goes into the living room and invites the four to stay, leaving it up to them whether they want to or not.

Tam smiles wryly. "So what did he go off on his dad about this time? You know... I'm really surprised Honorian allows him to come here anymore. He seems to develop a mind of his own whenever he does."

Tam chuckles wisely. "I suspect that is something Honorian and I could see eye to eye with..." he replies smiling thinly. "I'd probably have the same difficulties as he does I fear. Letting go is sorely difficult. I always knew this, but never truly understood just how hard it was. So did Honorian take off to enjoy some time to himself, dumping Pyra on you two... or is he sulking?" he asks, nodding towards Pyropian's back.

"Heaven forbid! He enjoys sulking!" cries Tam in mock dismay, then he chuckles and shakes his head. "I just got lectured by Bez on how it takes all kind to make things work... but that takes the cake. You did get to meet him, did you not... my mate... as he tottered through here on the way to crash onto a bed. I'm sorry he's not exactly the sociable type... He's lived alone for eons and has trouble in groups. He's trying though...."

"Ye caught him on a good day...." laughs Tam with a smile.

"I heard that..." comes a growl form the downstairs bedroom.

Tam shakes his head and laughs even harder. "Ye were meant to...." he calls back. "And go to sleep already... ye looked about ready to fall flat on yer face..."

Indistinct grumblings form the bedroom make everyone smile, Fortuny included.

"I think it's a good thing he's mumbling." remarks Pyropian from the corner. "Or he'd be right here with me, huh?"

"Ye got that right." laughs Tam, heading for the kitchen. "Can I borrow the kids? I shure could use some help getting dinner together." he asks the adults before he disappears through the doorway.
