*Kero simply starts to clean up, letting loose with a mild curse when he drops a plate, then gagging on a moonstone, growing even angrier*

Ai is oblivious to this as she's in another room, though she does hear the plate break and him grumbling. She really doesn't know why he's so angry. Still she flinches as his emotions boil over and come her way. She can tell he's really mad about something, but not what. Burrowing her head even further under her paws, looking about as forlorn as a lion can look, she waits for the axe to fall.

*It never does, until Kero comes out, going into his room and coming down with a bag over his shoulder*
Take the spell off, Sira. Completely.

"I... I can't... it's not the same spell... it's changed... only you can...."
"WHAT!"
Ai shrinks back into her chair even more. "Somethings happened to it... I can't take it down... call your elder self forward.... maybe he can do something, but something is wrong Kero... I don't know what it is... Everything is getting jumbled inside of ye... call him now, please... before it gets worse." She doesn't disappear this time, but it's not for the lack of trying. If she could meld with the chair she would.

*Kero's eyes turn steel gray, and he sets the bag down*
I see what happened. You made it resistant to Voidic magic. Because of that, when you tried to lessen it, it warped. I cannot remove it entirely....but I can quell it down to one word. It will be up to you entirely afterwards. He is very angry right now.

"Will I be able to remove it or will he be stuck with it... if he's stuck, link it to the foulest word ye can think of... at least it won't trouble him unless he deserves it then... though he'll probably hate me for it later. What about the rest of his trouble, dulcha... why can't he port. Bez thinks he was simply too upset to concentrate properly." says Ai, still cringing in her seat. Even the expression of the elder Kero's face is far grimmer than she has ever seen it.

*Kero sighs*
Our power is off balance because of roiling emotion, it is true. Teleportation requires a calm state of mind. As for the spell, I can weaken it into the proper state, but it means you will have to call me out to change it again.

Ai sighs and shrinks even further. "I can't remove it then. It's been on him too long, huh. Damn... do what you can, Kero. lighten it as far as you can, tie it like I said and I'll tell him the truth as soon as ye go back under. Remember the foulest word ye can think of... Surely there's one not even you would want to use."

*Kero nods, tying it to a word so foul in Waterspeak that even he won't say it*
Done.
*Fades into the background as Kero looks at Ai*
Is the spell gone?

"Yes and no..." she replies softly. "It's gotten itself wrapped up in your magic somehow, so all he could do is lighten it and attach it to one word. I told him to put it to a word so awful not even he would use it. It shouldn't bother you anymore. But iffin ye do get the stone some time in the future... remember... that word is supposedly so bad that the king of foul mouths won't speak it... ye'll have to endure. I... I'm sorry, Kero, I never meant for that to happen. It shouldn't have. I don't know what went wrong." she sighs heavily. "But with you and me... that's just par for the course... I'm always falling on my face. Go on... leave if you want. I... I understand." There or tears in her eyes once more, but she steels herself to accept the inevitable.

*Kero comes over to her...and his paw flashes out, leaving three slash marks in her face*
I will. I was right when I was little. You can't stand up for yourself. A Male comes past, and you shrink down into a chair, even when you have raised that male since he was a baby. What happened to you? Used to be, I acted like this, you treated me with respect. You sat me down, and you talked to me, without patronizing me. Now it's just "Kero was naughty. Time to lecture him like a five year old." I am leaving...and this time, I'm not coming back. I...I hate you. *Turns around at that last sentence and flees, his pipe and harp falling out of his bag, snapped in two again*

Ai just keep shrinking. His attack has undone her. When Bez walks in a few moments late, tripping over the broken instruments, he finds a tiny white cub curled up, unresponsive on the chair and Fortuny, curled up about her cubs in shock.
"I'll kill him..." he growls angrily, but all he really does is pick Ai up and hold her close. "Oh, Ai... what has he done to ye....?" he moans holding her close to his chest. He sits down in the chair and weeps. This emotional wreck isn't the Ai he knows and he doesn't know how to handle her.

*Kero, meanwhile, has fled Silver Falls, heading deep into the wild woods, farther than he has ever gone, his webbed paws leaving tracks, but he periodically dives beneath the loamy soil to dig, finally surfacing again to run some more, until he finally curls up in a dry cave in the mountains. He has come some forty miles*

**poor baby... he's going to have a cold night out there all alone... nobody is going to go looking for him... they've got bigger fish to fry right now... like how to deal with a catatonic angelic entity, whose bleeding emotion all over the village.**

((Alone is what he needs to be...to realize he needs others too))
*Kero shivers that night, cursing the bitter wind that howls down through the cavern*
