*Kero, growing worried she may have conceived, begins viewing her immediate past...going back about a day*

"Nothing, the two foxes are seen playing a version of fox and hound in a wooded glade, nothing more.
Suddenly a familiar mental voice chides him for his eavesdropping. "Go to bed, Uncle Kero... nothing to see here."

*He sends back a message*
Damn sightmages...always interfering with a secretmonger's work...I was just checking up on you, kiddo...making sure you hadn't conceived, that's all...last thing we need is a thirteen year old having a baby...Do ye want to see a dream of my vows?

"I'm more like eighteen now, thank you... Your brother may have been a dirty old man when he started but he's toned down considerably. I don't think he'd be with me still if I was a child..." comes a mental huff, then she sighs and the sound carries through her thoughts like a dry dusty wind. "Yes, please, I would love such a dream. You are well?"

*Kero sends back a mental nod*
How about this...since you don't want me snooping...I'll cut a fast deal with you...in exchange for news of what's going on there...I'll give you dreams of the outside world...fair enough?

A mental laugh drifts through his thoughts, like leaves scattering before a brisk autumn breeze. "I fear we may bore you to death if you rely on us for excitement. He taught me how to fish yesterday... dragon style... I'm not a very good swimmer, I'm afraid, but it was fun. And I've gotten him to play his pipe for me. Funny... ye know I could swear I've heard him play before, his style is so original... like nothing I've heard in the past and yet..."

*Kero chuckles*
He doesn't play a pipe...he plays a flute...and his style is original because he taught himself...and you've heard him when we dueted a few weeks ago...
He's not driving you to bed every night, is he? I know my brother...and he can be overbearing...

"So that is why it looked so odd..." laughter like crisp apples... " And no... you dirty old man... he has been a perfect gentleman... well now he is... can't say he started out that way..." There is a pause in her thoughts, an expectant questioning. "Uncle, is there a way to cure schizophrenia?"

*Shia gets a sense of a mental eyebrow raise*
Perhaps you'd best start at the beginning...what makes you think my brother has Schizophrenia? Tell me the whole story, Shia.

Shia sighs and sends him a series of visions... of the first time, when he chased her from the room... and then later on, times when the things he did made no sense, as if he was possessed or driven by a different sense of self. "He's not possessed... this much I can tell and his aura is different each time... more balanced when he is in control... a swirling mess when he is not."

*She feels a hint of laughter on the other end*
What you are seeing is when his weakness as a shadowmage takes over...not an alternate personality...but a different side of his personality...
His weakness is Lust, Shia...every shadowmage has a weakness of one of the seven deadly sins...easily identifiable....the reason he's becoming nicer is because you are confusing that lust...which is designed toward the lovers he is used to...the ones who only give something when they are poised to get something from it...Am I making sense so far?

A sense of relief coupled by understanding flows through his thoughts. "Ah... I think so... well, relieving that isn't all that difficult..." comes a giggle and even more laughter... "Got to run, uncle... literally... he's feeling frisky and I"m not... Bye....."

*Before he lets the connection go...and he decides to be silly, holding her there for a few minutes while Emnast slowly wakes up...he sends her an image of the little book he gave...reminding her to use it...and use it well...then he redoubles his grip on her...holding her there as Emnast slowly clambers out of sleep*

Shia finally breaks free of his hold with a laugh. "Oh I know all about the book, uncle... Emnast is a very good teacher...." then she completely breaks the connection which snaps back at him like a severed rubber band.

*Finding himself pinned, Kero shrugs off the bonds...hard to hold someone with their own magic*
Very well...be well, child...and run fast...he's awake now..and he...oh well...he caught ye this time....I'll let you go, Shia...though I don't think he will...
