The boy grins at him. "Like I always say... I could try, couldn't I?" he giggles merrily.

*Kero smiles*
Okay, kiddo, I'll make you a deal...you find me something else I can use in lieu of those paddles, and I'll leave them behind. Now, let's go tell the others the news...
*Leads Pasa into Keva's room, sitting down and gently breaking the news*

The kitsune sits up with a yawn and nods. "Heck, I have a room there, too, ye know..." he says with a sly wink at Pasa. "Em does, too... though I suspect he'll stay here, more or less. Ye better visit him regularly... " he warns Kerobian with a firm nod. "I'm still heading home, to see Ma... so ye two will simply have to do without me until I get things in order... think ye can handle it?" he asks with a smirk.

*Kero nods*
Oh, I think I can stay on top of things...I do live there, after all...have lived there for more than 13,000,000 years. So, Pasa...shall we go and break the news to Bez and Em?

"And the Singer..." says the boy helpfully, hopping to the floor. He doesn't see Keveka wince at his words, but Kero does.
The kitsune flashes the voidmage a tight smile acknowledgment and motions for him to follow the boy out. "He needs to learn about it sooner or later..."

*Kero nods, leading Pasa out to Tam and Bez's cavern...and when he takes him inside, he breaks the news to Bez and Em first*

"About time you go home..." grumbles the dragon with a twisted grin, but Kero can see that he's not nearly as happy about this turn of events as he is pretending to be.
Bez is oddly enough openly sorrowful "Going to miss you both.... It's going to be downright lonely around here with only this pile of scales to talk to." He gives Pasa a hug and looks at Kerobian thoughtfully, as though he'd like to hug him but wasn't too sure it was proper.

*Kero pulls him into a hug*
Oh, we'll visit, from time to time...but it's time you guys had this place to yourselves again...I've been here since the birth, and Pasa soon after that...then Emnast...then Keva...then everyone...it's time to go our separate ways, Bez. But I will always be within reach...just call my name.

"I might just do that some day...." says Bez hugging him back... "once the silence gets deafening. Of course with the girls, that might not be for awhile yet...."

Oh, you'll miss the pitter-patter of little paws soon after they leave, I assure you.
**Even someone who's never been a parent, I know that from the old folks...**

"Anything to break the monotony... are ye going in to say goodbye?"

*Kero nods, gently leading Pasa in, petting the lioness as he softly tells her goodbye...and where he and his son are going...and how much he loves her...and how grateful he is that she raised him...things he should have said a long time ago...but somehow never had the time...he says it all as he gently runs his fingers through her fur*

Pasa watches in silence, tears filling his eyes. "Mes'sirrah, what happened? Where has he gone?" he begs clinging to the mage and reaching down hesitantly to touch the lioness' fur.

*Kero sighs*
I...I don't know, Pasa...I really don't know...this defies even my knowledge of magic, and of the mind...and no, I forbid you to jump into there...perhaps after you've trained a while...but not now...I can't bear to lose you again...I thought I had lost you when you came into the Void while I was fighting...I cannot bear to feel that again...

The boy nods sadly. "Wouldn't help if I did. He's not there." says Pasa quietly stroking the lioness' fur. "Did... did this happen because of me?"
**poor kid... always seeing himself as the root of all trouble... **
