Welcome to Gaia! ::

Good thing Andra isn't there to see that, He'd be rolling on the floor by now. Shar kneels down in front of him and tries to figure the knot out. After a few miss-starts which bring tears to the cub's eyes, she finally gives it a gentle nudge in the right direction, allowing him to loosen it on his own.

"I'd say it serves you right, but that had to hurt." she says with a sour chuckle. "Is everything ok?>"

"to quote my ancient grandmother when my brother thought he could mouth off whenever he wished...'me thinks ye need a new vocabulary, child, try being a little more creative...'" Shar chuckles softly and stand up. "Really, Kerobian, swearing is something that isn't creative at all... now terms like horse feathers are... but don't go saying things like golly gee willickerrs.. that won't do at all. A foul mouth isn't polite... sets you in a bad light... and shows people you really don't care what they think about you and you don't think very highly of them.... I will admit it has it's place, but some of the things you say are so offensive, that the only reason you get away with it is that most people don't understand what you are saying. Would you like it if I used the "F" word every other phrase?"

Shar smiles widely. "I expect you to practice some restraint. You aren't in battle, too young to have seen one... yet you act as if every shock is an attack. You are in a temple, for heaven's sake. If you can't be safe here, where can you be. Also, you need to realize that you've fallen into a very bad habit and actually work on breaking it. Case in point... if you continue to use that language without restraint of some form or another how will you ever learn to control it as an adult?"

She walks to her desk and sits down. "Let's say you were given a mission, to obtain the cooperation of a rather important but persnickety individual and he just happens to walk up behind you and tap you on the shoulder... what do you think might happen?"

"Memories yes... but are they your own? How old are you? four? five? and has not Tam taken care of you since you were an infant? Kerobian, think carefully now. When you think of the murder of your sister, how old do you seem to be then? Both Tam and Hopian have spoke to me of this, to warn me that at times you would remember things you have not yet or will not experience. And yet I've beentold the memories are true ones... I've been told they are horrible at times..., beautiful at others... but are they yours?"

Sharmistra nods. "My talent is with the mind, Kerobian. I have dealt with things like this before. For some it is a trace memory of someone who lived long ago, for others it is a link to someone who lives now... would you like me to try and lock them away, so they no longer bother you?"

Sharmistra nods firmly and gives him a hug. "Very well, but not without talking this over with your guardians. Both Hopian and Talesian need to have a say in this. I'm fairly sure that either one could have done much the same with magic but they haven't. Shall we see why they have not?"

A growl from the doorway tells him differently. Turning he sees a snow white lioness standing there looking more than a touch forbidding.

"Had I the ability I would have sheltered you completely from those intrusions, but alas... I never did. What you are experiencing is a connection to your namesake, kechara, and his life has never been an easy one. Neither can that link be severed once it has been established. Not without some serious drawbacks. To block that, I'd also had have to block a part of you... something I never would do. You are you and he is he and someday... the two of you will indeed meet." Tam expression grows sad as he considers Kerobian's fate. "Nevertheless, even though I was not warned of this possibility, I do not think it handicap, Taro. Use his memories, but remember they are his... not yours. You will learn in time to block the anguish... but never block the knowledge they give you."

Tam pads over to the cub and nuzzles his face. "I am not angry, Taro, not at you... never at you. Forgive me?"
