Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Oh, she is... trust me... and when Hope comes to get her, he's going to be pissed as all hell... but wait until her Mama lights into her." Tam rolls his eyes dramatically. "As I was saying... she's in for it... big time." He closes his eyes for a bit then opens them with a sigh. "Well, Hope's on the way. See if you can figure out why she needed to come back here so badly, will ye? I told him to take his time and to make sure everything is fairly calm at home before he brings her back."

Tam struggles with this for a bit then makes a decision that may cost him something. He's not quite sure how it will turn out or even if it will work, but remembering a promise given to him by the all-father through the voice of the void, he forces his body into the shape of a d.miner... His body fights the change then suddenly it snaps into place, and lying on the ground before Kerobian and Salunia is a large d. miner lion whose fur looks to be white at first, then as it moves every color of the rainbow shifts through it in an iridescent shimmer. Emerald green eyes stare out at them in confusion.

Tam shakes himself hard then examines his shape and moans. "Dang... I knew I was going to get something wrong..." he mutters in perfect d.miner.

Tam chuckles softly and shakes his head. "Not exactly a he at the moment... not a she either... told ye I got something wrong... and yes, I can talk. I needed to, to explain to ye why ye can't stay here, Salunia."

"One... Kero is older than ye are. Trust me, it's important. And he doesn't get to do everything he wants, believe you me. Tell her what happens, Kero, when ye try to get yer own way and goof up?"

Tam cocks his head to one side with a toothy grin. Kero can see he's hinting at the more recent troubles with the temple.

Tam chuckles softly. "You ought to ask Kero how easy he's getting off with, Salunia. Better yet, ask him come mid-winter when he shoving his way through the snow towards the temple to play in the morning."

Tam waits silently for Hopian to speak.

Tam chuckles deep in his throat, "I'd say we're doing our own version of a Mexican stand off... but it is entirely not necessary. And before ye yell at me, Hope... her visiting us was entirely her idea... Kero had nothing to do with it... She seems to have had some misguided idea that I am far easier on him than you are on her. I do think he's clarified it a bit for her though... what do ye say Salunia? Am I too easy on him?"
