Welcome to Gaia! ::

Keva nods grimly. "I pray so. I'll talk to Da first. See what he has to say. He might know something. His field of magic involves living things. Perhaps he can offer you some ideas. And let him tell Ma if he thinks she needs to know... but we're going to have to tell her, sooner or later. She loves those cubs... and your little one, too. I don't think she ever thought about becoming a grandma... but now that she is, she's loving it, I'm sure of it. She loves children. She's going to want to come and visit them as soon as she can. So we better tell her, just in case... I... I do a bit of research myself. I may not be good at magic but I can read... and I will."

He looks up with a determined glint in his eye. "I think we may have to put my apprenticeship on hold for a bit though... what with my own problems and his... you also have Pasa to teach now and I suspect he needs a bit more instruction right now than I."

The young kitsune smiles at him. "Thanks, Uncle Kero. I... I might do just that... Ye still haven't taught me much of anything ye know...." He winks and flashes him a small sad smile. "I'll wait until morning to leave. Iffin I don't say goodbye to Em and Pasa, neither one will talk to me again. And don't ye go renting me room out, hear me? I'm coming back. I promise ye. I'll be back as soon as I can, fair enough?"

He takes down the sign with a soft laugh and folds it into an airplane, flying it into the kitchen before he goes back to bed. He lies there, hands behind his head, trying to think of something to do for Tam, but nothing comes to him. Sighing he closes his eyes and goes to sleep. He may have been in a coma for days on end, but he was still unusually tired.

Those odd scales he has on his head feel strange to the touch. He suspects it is a way to cool the head during hot weather. He isn't too sure, but they seem capable of lifting from the head to allow for air to move about them. Physiology aside, they have a soapy almost satiny feel to them, kind of like rubbing a large expensive piece of jade.

Kero sits with him for a bit more. It is quiet here and peaceful. After the craziness of the last few days he can certainly use it. Then he decides that while everyone is asleep he should peek in on Rhea and the kids. He hasn't been back since the incident and is feeling more than a little guilty.

**hmmm different scenario than I had thought it would be.... ye better clear that one up, hih.... they sound a bit miffed rolleyes **

Kero endures it for as long as he can then begins to defend himself.

Little Kero says it best. "We was worried....." he whispers in a soft mind voice laced with shame. "I wanted to thank you and Tam.... and I couldn't..."

Little Kerkobian stares at him in utter confusion. "Don't.... don't you remember....? Mama says...." he stammers.

"Kero, you and your brother and sister need to go pick up your toys now." says Rhea in a no nonsense voice.

"But Mama...." comes a chorus of young voices.

"No, but mamas about it... off with you... now." She waits until the children are gone then huffs at Kerobian, the elder. "Oh... fine... give him the greatest gift you could ever give a being... then claim not to know it..."
