Mica's eyes narrow. "Is something wrong, Mater Hopian?"

*Hopian laughs*
I just had to spank Kero...that's all...he and I share experiences...so I felt it as much as he did...but I told him not to hit me...and he did...

"But the cub was doing nothing wrong. Why would you spank him?" cries the priest in alarm. He looks to Tam who holds up his hands with a shrug.

*Hopian pulls back the cloth of his shirt, revealing a small puncture wound on his breast*
Not doing anything wrong, eh? Be glad my own venom is the antidote to his...or I would be out cold right now...

"But when did he do that?" asks the priest. He is clearly confused.
"Hope, is everything alright?" asks Tam quietly, "Do ye want me to take him home?"

*Hopian shakes his head*
He's with Shar right now, sniffling...he did it in a small scuffle we ad on the way there...those growls and whistles you heard were a guttural form of Desert Miner...he didn't want to leave...and I told him he needed to..promised him it was important that he did...but he threw a tantrum right in the middle of the hall to Shar...I tried to ignore it...but then he stung me...called me Tradinias...and I turned him over my knee...then delivered him to Shar...
Now that the story is out of the way...you wanted to know something about Kero, Dawnlord?

Mica shrugs lamely. "I take it your answer is something you don't want him to know about. Though I cannot see why. I was going to ask if he was a gem child, too... although it seemed fairly clear he was not. How could one so young be entrusted with so great a responsibility"

*Hopian's shoulders sag*
Our two youngest are five years old, Mica...Garnet and Moonstone...whom I raise as my own cubs...Love...and Purity...in a perverse way, it makes sense that they are young...
And no...Kero's not a gemchild...

The old priest sits back in his chair and steepled his hands before him. "But you did not wish for him to hear this, right. May I ask why?"

*Hopian is caught...and he knows it...he sighs*
Be...Because...Kero...is Kerobian....Voidmaster Kerobian....

Mica sighs heavily. "You had better start at the beginning." Then he looks at Tam and pins him with a stark gaze. "And I assume you know of this as well."
Tam flashes him a lame smile and nods sheepishly.

*So Hopian does...filling the old priest in on every salient detail...even telling of Kero's past....some of it, anyways...finally winding it up where they were then...*

"And so you have taken on this thankless task, to see him through this rejuvenation Master Talesian." says the priest with a gusty sigh. "I do so wish you had been more honest with us from the start."
Tam frowns. "It is far from thankless, Dawnlord Mica, and I would have had I thought it important. I've been raising the cub for four years now, trying to instill within him some of those things I feel are important for one of his calling... honor, trust... love and a generous heart. He was my friend before this and he is my friend even now... he is worthy of this... trust me... truly he is."

*Hopian nods*
Kero hides behind his mask because he is afraid of being hurt again...but he is truly a gentle soul...kind and loving...even if he requires a few smacks every now and then, well...I've yet to meet a kid who didn't.
*Rolls his eyes at Tam*
Tam here and I have had that disagreement for quite some time now...and we've yet to work out a compromise...

Tam shakes his head with a determined frown. "Won't work, Hope. Yer not going to blackmail me in front of a priest. I stand by my decision. I refuse to use physical punishment."
Mica chuckles softly and lits hs hands to calm the two friends. "Please, let's not fight. "
