The cat smiles at him as he fades from view. "Ye know, brat... ye really are a nice kid... it's really too bad..." then he coughs and shakes his head. "Tell your Sira I'm sorry... I got carried away. Tell him... tell him he's right... I'm.. no good...." and with that he disappears, his voice trailing off with the wind.

He makes it all the way back up to the temple and is about to give up having detected no sign of his sira when an errant breeze carries a strangely familiar scent to his nose, one he has not smelled for several weeks now.

*Remembering Shar's orders...he doesn't run...though he does walk fast...and arrives to find...*

Two old women are sitting in the garden on a bench beneath an apple tree, enjoying the evening breeze. Behind them, he senses someone hiding, not a danger... and certainly not out to inflict harm... it appears to be wanting to avoid detection.

*Kero decides a little deception is in order...though it is more misdirection than deception*
Ma'ams....did you know that the Hyaconths are blooming, over down by the pond in back of the temple? They smell heavenly...I don't think they'll ever smell this good again!

"Hyaconths at this time of year..." murmurs the smaller of the two women.
"Surely you are mistaken, young one." says the taller, but she is getting to her feet all the same. "Still, it would be nice to find something pretty to place on Lathander's altar... Thank you, child." she murmurs with a smile.
"Wait for me, Marta" calls the smaller one, hurrying to catch up.
He is soon alone with whoever it is that is hiding.

*Some type of flower is blooming in back of the temple, so he's not lying...and he moves to find whoever is hiding*
It's okay...they're gone...

A litany of curses, concerning little old women, twigs, and interfering obnoxious soul mates comes pouring forth from the bush. It is enough to make Kerobian crescent burn. Finally it wounds down with a soft, halfhearted apology.
"Taro... can you fetch me some clothes..."

*Kero nods, and slowly walks back to their cottage, returning with clothing for Tam*
Sira...I...I met someone earlier....a leopard...he said to tell you...He was sorry...and that he got carried away...that you were right...and that he's no good...

Tam dresses as quickly as he cans, but he can do nothing about his hair, except runs his fingers through it several times, which he does wincing every time he hits a knot.
"He better be... I came damn close to killing him because of his single minded stupidity..." growls Tam fighting with a particular stubborn knot. Something in his eyes says it was a great deal more than that, but he doesn't elaborate.

*Kero moves behind him, knocking Tam's hand out of the way, and begins to comb it with his claws*
Better, Sira? And there's no need to be bitter....if he says he's sorry, you should forgive...The voice told me yesterday that not forgiving is like leaving a thorn in the pad of your paw...because you didn't put it there...except it's even more stupid...because with the thorn, you only hurt yourself...by not forgiving, you hurt everyone around you, too.

"I'll think about it..." says Tam softly, then he turns to give Kero a hug. "Ye know, cat... sometimes that voice in yer head is even smarter than I am..." he winks with a sad grin and shakes his head. "But right now... I'm really kind of angry... he did something that is kind of hard to forgive... okay?"

Tam hugs him again and stands up, tugging on his jacket to pull it into place. He starts to walk towards the garden entrance, then laughs ruefully. "I need to get me man legs back." he complains in a tired voice. "Sweet Mother of Night, that took a lot out of me."
