*Now Kero sniffs the air...knowing the scent on the wind...musk...and blood...and Bez...and Tam...but he does not move...merely prays his Sira makes it out okay*

Tam staggered to his feet, then realized he needed to find something to wear and quick, not all of the temple staff had gone to the festival and voices nearby told him he was not alone. Slipping back into the shadows, he dropped back to the ground and hugged his knees to his chest.
"Damn," he thought through a raging headache which refused to allow him to think straight. "What the hell am I going to do now?"

*Kero sniffs again, and relaxes when he realizes Bez has gone....he's sure his sira can deal with any problems, except that filthy schlamo...*

Tam curled himself into a tight ball and prayed non-stop to the all-father that the two elderly priestesses who were taking their evening constitutional had horrible eyesight.

*Finally, Kero can stand it no longer...and he asks Shar if he might be excused for a few minutes*

Shar looks at him, then nods. "Tired, huh? Well, it is getting rather late isn't it. I wonder where Talesian is. He said he would join us. Tell you what, if you promise to walk... not run... back to the cottage. I'll tell him where you went."

*Kero nods, going back to the cottage...if Shar was going to find him, he wasn't worried*

Tam bit down a groan for the fourth time in less than ten minutes. Why was it that all elderly people shared the same habits, be they secular or not. Everyone of them wanted to talk of their ailments. He tried to drown the litany out but a twig was poking him where no twig had the right to poke and he couldn't even move to dislodge it from it's focus.
"I'm telling you, Marta... I heard that lion prowling around here earlier. No sign of him now though. Did you try that bunion cream I gave you?"

*Finally, Kero decides to sneak out, hoping to find his sira...on the way back to the temple, to pick up the scent...he just happens to bump into someone*

It is a large black leopard, far larger than normal, lying in the road, breathing heavily. It appears to be injured.

*Kero moves over to it, switching to the language of beasts*
Hey...are you alright?

The cat lifts it's head, takes one look at him, then lowers it with a sigh of exasperation. "Oh great... it's you..." the cat says sighing heavily. "Come to laugh at me have ye? Well go away, brat... I don't need your sympathy."

*Kero shakes his head*
I don't know how you know me...but I don't know you...and I'm not going to laugh at someone who's hurt....dammit, I wish I had my pipe...I've been learning healing music from Sira...can you wait two minutes...I...I can get home and fetch it...then I can heal you...

The cat laughs, then winces sharply. "Don't bother... your precious Sira wouldn't be happy with you if you did... just take care of him, would ye? He probably needs a keeper right about now... just to make sure he doesn't do himself in... I really made of mess of things this time..." He gets up slowly and hobbles to the side of the road, fading as he does so, leaving behind several large grey feathers on the ground where he had been lying before Kero's arrival.

*Kero darts in front of him*
Sira would have my hide on the fence from spanking me if I let a hurt creature like you go...at least let me take you to Dawnmistress Shar...she can fix you up, if you're that paranoid of magic!
