It must have taken Lyssan some time to tell Keva of the fact, because it is over an hour before an inflated hammer comes falling out of the air to land with a thud in Kerobian's lap. There is a greasy note tied to it with a piece of twine. All it says is "Go home...". The writing is somewhat messy and difficult to read.

*Kero simply writes on the back of it, in much better handwriting*

Oh so it goes on, an hour later another inflatable toy, a sword, drops on him. This time it manages to fall on his head, when he was least expecting it and on his way to dinner. Again a greasy note with the scribbled words "You have been warned..."

*Kero again writes a better written note on it*
I know I have...now please leave me be...I have made my decisions...
*Puts a small spell on the paper, so he knows who it goes to...and sends it back the way it came*

The toy seems to be block from being sent back and returns not to the sender but to it's place of origin... and the sender must not be at the spot from which he has sent it anymore, for Kero gets an impression of wet and cold, then a sense of rushing current, nothing more.

*Kero chuckles*
Clever, kiddo...very clever...
*He opens the door and strolls into supper, sitting down next to Keva*
What's goin on, Keva? Enjoying yer new responsibility?

Keva looks up with a grin. "Yea... Averus and I have it all figured out. We are going to streamline this place. Make it easier to get things done. Ye know... with half the staff me ma has..." He forks up a bite and smiles. "I've already started by setting up a dog wheel in the kitchen to help turn the spits for Champhy. Ye hang this sausage, see... just out of reach and he keeps walking forward, trying to get to it. And Averus is looking into some of the undeveloped areas, so those who are no longer working in the palace can set up a homestead."

*Kero nods...though he glares at the dog wheel idea...and digs into his supper*
So tell me...why do you think this place needs streamlining?

Keva leans back with a wide knowing grin. Mom and Dad haven't done a thing around to improve things here in ages. I mean they still keep things cold in an ice house and there's all this undeveloped land, beyond our gardens. I understand conservation and all but I've been reading some books on estate management and this place really could use some sprucing up."

*Kero nods*
I understand your concern, Keva...but don't you think that it might be a good idea to ask them first? I mean...it is their palace...

Keva frowns at this and shakes his head. "Ma will say things are fine like they are. Da will give me a lecture on economics and conservation... besides I know they enjoy the finer stuff. They're in a rut that's all."

*Kero nods*
I understand your position, Keva...but that is no excuse to go toying with their palace...if you think it could do with streamlining, ask them and make your case to them.

Keva glares at him. "They left me in charge, Uncle Kero, not you. Besides, Champhy says the dog wheel is working fine. And installing the bungie cords in the laundry helps the Smash twins do twice as much work as before. It will be fine, you'll see."
He hops to his feet and bows to Kerobian. "And if you will excuse me right now. I have a nap to take. Ta ta..." and disappears in a puff of glittery smoke.

*Kero teleports downstairs to the kitchen, going to speak with Champhy*
So....what do you think will happen here?

Champy shrugs. There is a large mastiff lying before the fire and when he sees Kerobian he stands up, the hair down his spine lifting in alarm. A low throaty growl is the only warning Kerobian gets before it attempts to launch itself at him. Fortunately i chain and doesn't quite make it to him, landing with a thud a foot or two away. Stunned it sits there for a few seconds and then begins to bark frantically at him.
