Welcome to Gaia! ::

So Lyssan goes on to tell the tale of misconceptions and misleading perceptions, and how sometimes living up to an image can lead to some surprising conclusions. Lyssan finishes the tale and gives Kero a kiss on his forehead, tucking him in, reaching under his pillow and pulling out a much loved leopard and placing it in his arms.

"Good night, dear heart. sleep well." says Lyssan, picking up Luna and her book and going out the door. Without his magic, Kero's dreams would stay safely in his cabin, so she doesn't worry about them seeping into everyone else's vicinity.

Then she gives Luna a quick bath and tucks her in as well, summoning the dragon's fairy friend to bathe her room in a soft twilight glow. "Good night, Luna dear... sleep well." she whispers to the sleepy little dragon curled up upon her pillow.

Running quickly she spells a light spell onto a charm that she hangs in his room, before going to him and giving hm a hug. "I'm sorry little one, I forgot to look for your crystal... let me see iffin I can find it for you. Do you think you know where it might be?" she asks picking him up and carrying him about the cabin, in search of the elusive light crystal.

So she holds him until he calms down, making sure her light spell stays strong, all the while peering about the room, trying to find the stone. Wondering where it could be.

Lyssan tucks him in and kisses him on the forehead once more, then reinforces her spell, making certain it stays lit until morning. Maybe one of the kids knows where the light stone is. But then, Kero rarely leaves things like that out and his drawers are all sppelle against intrusion.

So she curls up foxy style at the foot of his bed. "I'm right here, kiddo... no boogy man is going to get ye." she whispers gently. "Try to get some sleep, okay?"

That's when he learns that a certain foxy person has a habit of glowing in her sleep, when she doesn't have a conscious control over her divine aura... Now with two light sources illuminating the room, he finally feels safer and after finding a more comfortable position, drifts back to sleep. But it takes along time for him to do it. When he wakes in the morning he's going to be grouchy, that's for sure.

Luna begins to cry. That oatmeal was hot and squishy, scaring the heck out of her. So Lyssan picks her up and carries her to the sink, carefully cleaning her head and caing her down.

"Do that again, Kero, and yer going back to bed." says Lyssan knowing he really did not get enough sleep.

Lyssan tosses him the washcloth with a puzzled frown. " How in the heck did ye get it up there? Ye fergoer how to aim fer yer mouth?" She sits Luna back down by Kero to eat, missing the calculated look in Luna's eyes.

The next time Kero tries to oatmeal anyone, he directs it at Lyssan and misses her as she turns to get something. But Luna does not miss him. With a flick of her tail she bops him on the back of the head, forcing his face into his bowl, then pretends nothing happened and sits there eating quietly. Luciel swallows his laughter and imitates her, so that when Lyssan turns around all she sees is Kero with oatmeal all over his face and anger in his eye.
