*Kero weaves a circle round them thrice, to keep out prying eyes and long ears worn by little pitchers...*
Rhea...I truly do not remember....I have been so busy working with Tam and Pasa lately that all other memories have been driven from my mind...what did I give him?

Rhea sighs heavily, her eyes dark with sadness and grief. "He was dead, Kerobian.... dead and gone... his soul sucked away... but Talesian refused to accept that... he fought to heal him... to call him back... sang his heart out so hard and so long, I feared losing him too... then you joined him and.... and a miracle happened...."

*Kero nods*
Rhea...I was Luciel at that point...you know as well as I that my memories when I revert are fleeting, at best...I do know the story...but I have no recollection of the event...and I do need to go hug my Godsons and Goddaughter, so if you will excuse me...
*Unweaves his circle, and goes into the children's nursery, gently Gathering Kero into a hug, and pulling in Luna and Terran when they come over*

The children cling to him. Their belief in the safety of their home has been shattered and they are fearful it can happen again. And when he says he has to leave, they cry openly for him to stay.

*Kero smiles, and holds them a bit more, soothing away their fears....and he calls to Rhea...telling her, once he manages to get them calmed down enough to let him go...to triple the guard on both the borders and the office...send a message that Kerobian of the Endless Abyss is not playing nicely anymore...*

Rhea cocks an brow at him and laughs. "Have you ever?" she asks giving him a hug, something she has not done for a long time.

*He hugs her back*
If I haven't, then that threat will scare them all the more, now won't it...and you call me immediately, the moment we get a hint of such an invasion...no matter how ill, tired, or just plain unable I am, I will still fight. L...Losing Kero....would have crushed me, Rhea....as would losing any of you...I love you too much for that....to just let that happen....

She nods sadly at his words. "Then you really aren't staying... will you be coming back anything soon, or are you afraid to bring that child into our home?"

*Kero nods*
I'll be back as much as I can...I promise...I just...Pasa is so sensitive to cold...I don't think he should be here, unless you and I can make it really warm for him...

"Warm would be nice..." says Rhea wistfully, then she sighs and gives in. "Bring him when you can. We'll deal until then. But we miss you, Kerobian. This is your home, too, you know."

*Kero takes her wings in his hands, and pulls with all his might...and slowly, ever so slowly...the temperature rises....from 68 degrees to a balmy 85 degrees...and Kero nods*
I shall bring him, and guard him with my salamanders...it's time I got back to work. And back to your training, my young padawan...we need to retie your braid, you know...
**Gag...quetwinos have no hair, only their thick, dense fur...**

Rhea smiles at him, but the expression is a little pained. "Funny.... very funny, Master. Shall I polish you ancient dome while I"m at it?"

*Kero smiles...but pulls Rhea close*
Child of my heart, first of my friends, whatever is the matter? Come, tell me, and we'll weed it out...something troubles your soul, Rhea...and your heart....

"It is nothing that you could weed out, Kero... nor something you should. But I am worried... for you and for him. I understand, in some ways, why you do not wish to bring him here. He's damaged goods and the void is never gentle on anyone who is not whole. But are we not all damaged goods here. So few have entered here that are not."

*Kero nods*
A mother's instinct, even for those who are not hers...Rhea, I don't know how to say this...but I love you. You are prbably the closest friend I have...even closer than Hopian...Thank You...so much, for all you've done for me.
*Pulls her into another hug*
