Welcome to Gaia! ::

She looks at his hand and gives it a cursory lick. "Buff I bites you... I sowwy." she mumbles refusing to look him in the eye.

Tes winks at Kero and smiles. "She tells me she's got a tooth coming in. A molar perhaps? Have we got a bit of leather for her to gnaw on. That worked well for Gwee."

She looks at the belt... then at him, giving it a cursory sniff.

"Smell you..." she says licking it carefully.

Then she begins to experimentally gnaw on it, slowly working it back to the back of her mouth, not sure why, but knowing it feels right, even though it hurts. As she chews on the belt, Gwee flies in and joins her chomping happily on a free end, then tentatively trying to pull it away, resulting in a bit of a free for all tug of war. But Luna is not releasing her treasured chew toy, now that she has one. And she soon manages to fend him off, solving the matter of keeping it out of his reach by lying down on the free end of the belt, grinning at him triumphantly.

"Minf..." is all she says, her mouth full of leather. She does't bare her teeth, but her body language means business. He better not touch it again.

Tes chuckles softly cradling NImbus close and keeping him safely out of the tussle. "Serves you right, you greedy little monster. Luna needs that chew, Gwee. Leave her alone."

Luna looks at him hard, tilts her head to one side as she munches away, then shakes it sowly. "Nuh...huh... " she mumbles softly. When Kero gives her a meaningful look, she shrugs.

I wuff bawd, buff you know I bawd......"

But the week has been so truly awful for her and he has been there for her throughout most of it, she finds it hard to believe he doesn't know everything she's done. With a disgiusted sigh she spits out the leather belt and stomps her feet.

"Buff you do know... you do... I wuff so vewy bawd... and you know I wuff bawd... "

She hangs her head and stops stomping, sighing heavily. Her memory just doesn't bring it to her and now she's afraid she's in serious trouble. He wants her to fess up to something that she suspects he does know about only she has no idea what it might be.

Finally she looks up at him and makes a conjecture. "I towd fibby?" she suggests, though she really doesn't remember doing so. When his look gets sterner she crumbles, literally, crying. "Toof coowkie???" Even now she has no idea if that is what it was, but it is the only thing she can think of that would make him so stern looking, that and hiding in his room and she knows she hasn't done that.

"Kero..." sighs Tes reaching out and rubbing the poor devastated dragon's head. "Leave it be. Don't let your duties outside of our family circle, flavor how you treat those who are within it. And forcing people to do a weekly confession of wrong doings doesn't exactly help one develop their own moral fiber. Luna needs to learn to do that freely, not be forced into it."

As she watches them rock, Tes breathes a small sigh of relief. Someday she knew she'd most likely lose him to his role. The post of Void Master was so rigid and defined, it consumed it's holder, even as the magic he used slowly ate away at the one who wielded it. Still, Kero, her Kero, was still in charge. No doubt because he had so many strong determined people behind him who cared and loved him very very much. Still, that was one of the reasons she left on her journeys as often as she still did. It hurt to watch him struggle on, knowing why he clung to the title and it's burdens as tightly as he did. Kero, for all he would protest that he no longer had one, had a heart... for the longest time it had been nothing more than conjecture. Then Ai had provided him with a true organ, not entirely connected to his body but most definitely to his soul. A heart that allowed him to feel emotions, not just witness them.

"Even when I'm not there physically, you know I am by you here." she murmurs softly touching her chest. "I love you, Kerobian. And it was love that tamed you, not me. Trust me, iffin I had done the trick, you'd be like Gwee, cute and cuddlily without a thought of your own, save where your next meal was coming from."

"Wuff taaaame?" begs Luna from his arms.
