Shar comes to sit by him and holds him close. "Then why when he called you, your pet name did you correct him earlier. He called you Taro like he always does and you looked at him like he was crazy or something. But then he called you Kerobian and you were fine. And what does Taro mean, anyway?"

*Kero looks at her...blinking through his tears*
It means eldest son....because he's my father....and I want my Sira...
*It's plain he's working himself up to a full-fledged tantrum*

Shar tries to hold him without hurting him, but she's not very good at comforting small children. "I'm sure it was all a misunderstanding, Kerobian. "He'll be back... just you wait. He'll be back real soon."

Suddenly Tam is at the door. He looks at Shar, then at Kero and is instantly at his side. "Taro.... Taro, I'm here... " he whispers gently curling about him in an effort to calm him down.

*Kero stops....then wraps Tam in a hug, coiling his tail around him as he slowly climbs into his Sira's arms*

"Is it really you, Taro..." whispers Tam holding him close. "I... I thought I had lost you for good."

"Must be that blow to the head... " laughs Tam awkwardly, licking his face clean of tears. "Sorry... I didn't mean to worry ye."

Tam finally gives up trying to keep his face clean of salt and just holds him close, whispering small consolations whenever he can get a word in edgewise.

And Tam takes the opportunity to lick him clean. Beginning with his head, then finishing with everything not bandaged but the tip of his tail, he gives him a thorough cleaning..
