*what a nice present... but I'm getting off soon... kind of late*
Luna's eyes slowly close and with a tiny yawn she curls up in his arms. "Nite nite, Daddy..." she murmurs sleepily and drifts off to sleep without an argument. She has had a rather long trying day and is awfully tired.

Smiling, Kero gently tucks her into her bed, climbing in with her and curling around her in a protective embrace as he gently hums to her in her slumber.

Tes watches him with a tiny smile on her face. "You are going to spoil her now... something rotten, aren't you?" she demands with a sigh, but her eyes say she understands.
"She needs to know we're here with her... that we love her... even when she is asleep. Talents like hers tend to do their worse when the individual who has them isn't in conscious control of their thoughts." he reminds his mate as he runs a gentle fingertip across one of Luna's eye rideges.
Tes nods, shaking her head. "She's so young. Almost too young... for them to be showing up this strongly. How well versed are you in psionics?"
Kero shrugs. "Not very. I'm an empath, true... but mostly I'm a magical... but I have a few resources I can tap... people I can go to."
"Oh, who?" she wants to know, perking up.
Kero smiles fondly at her. "Sira... Lord Bez... and Pasa. All three have rather strong abilities. Surely one of them has some idea as to what we should do next. In the meantime... we keep her calm."

"And keeping people calm is what I'm good at. Voidic magic is a calming magic anyways, you know." He says, chuckling, "You may want to plug your ears."
"Why?" she asks, smirking, and then sings with him when he begins his songs, aiding him, though using no magic. Unbeknownst to them, however, she is able to increase his range nearly five-fold, expanding his powers down from the tower in which they sta. Luna and Nimbus are certainly asleep now (Tes changing Nimbus as he most definitely needs it), and Kero keeps singing, to help still Luna's dreams, not knowing his song is spreading for nearly two hundred and fifty feet in all directions, with all the implications thereof.

One by one the keep's inhabitants fall asleep,all except Amestru and Lyssan who are beyond their range... which is probably good as the kitchen staff has drifted off as well and the night watch. Fortunately for the morning breakfast, most of the meal was already planned and prepared. But the dinner roasts that Champhy cooks over a low slow heat are all going to be a bit crusty and well done... perhaps a little too well done.

Finally, Kero ends his song, nodding to Tes and going down to see Champhy for a bit of a treat to give Luna when she wakes up, after giving his wife a kiss, of course.
Arriving there, he finds the place in total slumber, and begins raising alarm bells to wake everyone up.

The cook is slumped over her bread dough and the others all out cold at their various stations. Fortunately no one was in any danger, but more than a few were a bit put out and covered with the fruits of their labor.
Champhy takes one look at her staff and tells them all to go change, then sits down with a cup of strong coffee, grumpling under her breath about mages. She doesn't know whose spell had gotten out of control, but she has lived in a magic realm long enough to know that something of the sort had happened.

Kero had moved to save what he could, his power over space managing to prevent too many bad things happening to the food, and his Firemagic keeping the roasts from burning.
"I don't know what happened, Champhy, but I have a feeling it was my fault. I'm the one who was singing, trying to still some of my little daughter's bad dreams."

She looks around the kitchen, seeing what he's managed to accomplish and sighs before taking a large swallow of coffee. "Well, nothing seems unsalvagable. I'll need to revamp the menu a bit, but it's something I can work with. Next time warn us so we can wear earplugs." She retorts with a twisted grin.
"How is the little one doing, anyway?" She asks returning to her rolls, plopping the mug within easy reach to keep the sleep cobbies away.

Kero shakes his head. "Tired but okay for now," He informs the old horse, patting her flank. "I think she'll be alright. I just came down to fetch some kind of treat for her for when she wakes up. Nothing too fancy or rewarding, mind you. Just something good to remind her that Daddy and Mommy still love her very very very much."

"She ate all those cookies already?" cries the waterhorse with surprise. "Heck, she's getting to have an appetite just like her daddy, she is!"

Kero laughs, his skinny frame shaking with hilarity.
"No. No. I have the cookies kept in reserve. I just want something extra special to give to the youngling when she wakes up, to remind her that Mommy and Daddy do still love her."
As he talks, his tentacles are each doing something. Two are spicing stews. One is rolling out dough. Another pair are working with knives. And is last one is swiping a drumstick. His hands are folded in front of him, holding his non-existent belly in his laughter.

Champhy scratches her head and sighs. "Iffin it was the little gold, I'd have given ye gems from me secret stash... But what do blacks like? She seems to eat almost anything..." Sighs the cook with a thoughtful frown, then suddenly she brightens. "She does like a good bit of fish, though I'm not so certain she'd see it as a treat... I saw that the first night."

Kero brightens as well, immensely.
"But perhaps making sure she got some fish tomorrow, three meals a day, would be good as well. She'll be hungry anyways. You know how Psionics are."
The one roving tentacle has snared a drumstick and brought it back to the mage, who takes it in hand, looking at the horse for permission first with a wink.

"Ah... so she's aquatic..." hedges the waterhorse.
Kero shakes his head. "No... but her breed is a swamp dwelling animal and their diet is heavily on the fish side... They are scavengers if necessary and eat almost anything... "
Champhy gives him a wide eyed look. "Most animals of that leaning are rather savage... how did you ever tame her?"
