*Hopian nods, slipping out of bed*
I'm sorry about it, Tam...do you want me to bring you something...to eat or drink?

Tam shakes his head in negation. "No... I'm not very hungry right now."

*Hopian nods...then gets an idea*
What about Kero....maybe he could make you feel a little better...

Tam sighs. "Maybe... in a bit... if he wants to play his pipe for me. But don't force it Hope. Promise?"

*He leaves*

Tam buries his head in his arms and tries to figure out where he's gone wrong again. He feels that he's lets the lions down, but he doesn't know how why. Why would Kerobian feel he needed chastisement? All he had wanted to do was keep the lions safe. Wasn't removing threats like the pool a good thing? Or had he gone out on a limb when in truth it should be up to them to save themselves?

*Kero comes in after a bit...smelling what happened, he moves up onto Tam's bed, holding up his tail*
Open wide, sira...let's get rid of that...

Tam gives him a funny look. "Are ye sure it's safe? I mean less than twenty four hours ago we had to avoid yer tail at all costs. I think I'll pass, iffin ye don't mind. Why don't ye play me a tune instead."

*Kero nods...and Hopian moves in, carrying a sample of venom*
Here, Kero...I extracted this when you were younger...it's pure melatoxin, so it will work...
*He leaves quickly, and Kero sighs*
Still wallowing in guilt...*Puts his pipe to his lips and begins to play, offering the vial of venom to Tam with his tail...*

Tam reaches out and sets the vial on the night stand. It isn't that he doesn't appreciate the offer, but he doesn't wish to sleep just yet and every time he had the toxin, he's slept for almost a day. Instead he sends Kero a loving mental hug and closing his eyes, listens to the music, letting it carry him away from the moment into a place that only he and those he wishes to take with him can go.

*Now Kero switches songs...a song he learned from the Peridot's child...a song to bring peace...both to a home, and to a soul...or in this case, to a pair of troubled souls*

Tam smiles to himself as he hears the change and sighing sends out a tiny tendril of thought. "Hope.... forgive me for being such a touchy puss.... I'm sorry.... need a hug?"

**we do this ever so often at our house... so laugh if ye want, but it is effective...**
Tam sends him an image of himself running down the stairs like a little kid, arms outstretched, crying "Huggies!!!!!" Then he sends a far sober one. "But only iffin ye want to."

*Hopian, in a nod to the other author's style, comes flying up the stairs, wrapping his arms around Tam, mentally crying "Huggies!!!!"*
