Tam sighs. "The trouble with refusing to resort to corporal punishment is when ye use it as a threat, no one believes ye. Ah well.... we both know I wasn't serious. But now I am. Get yer damp squirmy hide over here, scamp, so I can groom ye properly."

Tam rolls his eyes and kneels down at his side, slowly working the brush through his fur, working free any patches of crusted salt that might have not washed free. When he gets to the tail he hesitates. "Um, Kero... what color is which venom... yer leaking a little?"

*Kero looks back, and dips a claw into it...he holds it up to the light*
Melatoxin, yer safe. Thanks for grooming me, Sira...I can't believe I used to fight this...

Once he has made certain the fur is clean, Tam continues to brush, simply because he knows Kero enjoys it. "Yea... ye sure did. Do ye remember how bad it got when I finally gave up and told ye, it was up to ye to determine when and if ye needed to be grommed or bathe? Heavens, ye couldn't sit still, ye itched so bad... but ye were determined to prove to me ye were right."

*Kero nods, then scratches at a patch of salt on his ear*
Yep....finally gave in after a week...though you know what, sira...I don't think you've ever hit me, have you...aside from bops upside my head?

Tam nods. "And I won't either... I told ye so... unless it is to keep ye from hurting yerself or someone else... I meant those words and I think ye understand now, don't ye?" asks Tam taking the brush and soothing the rough patch.

*Kero moans in pleasure...and nods*
Yep...so, say I were to do this...*Takes a claw and gently rakes it down a foreleg, peeling off a piece of skin*

Tam knows he's being tested, so he watches closely, trying to determine just how far Kero is going to go with his probe. If it looks serious he will stop him, by grabbing for his paw first and if he is eluded and it continues, he will swat the paw away with only as much force as is needed to accomplish the task. If Kero resists him, it's going to sting.

Tam sighs and scratches his ears. "Kero, why are ye doing this?" he asks in a soft tired voice.

*Kero purrs*
Sira....you confused me when we were younger...still do, in fact....but now I know....and I know I can trust you to stop me before I really harm someone, if I truly need you to do so. Thank you, for being there for me.

Tam flashes him a tired smile and leaning down gives him a hug. "Ye know... I'm not used... even now... to having my word doubted. And I love you, dulcha... why wouldn't I be there for you? When I've needed you... you have done all ye can fer me." He stands up and puts the brush away. "Let's hit the sack, okay? I don't know about ye, but I'm exhausted. Go say good night to Hope and Fortuny... I'm too tuckered out to climb up to the loft right now."

*Kero sighs, and stops him for a second*
Sira...I...I know you're not used to it..but...I have a feeling now...and can you answer me one question truthfully....Am I Kerobian vules-Noctuslain? I...I think the similarities are too many...I'm a Voidmage, but started as fire...so did he....We have the same first name...and the books mention he loved Onyx, and the music of a pipe....and I can play a pipe, and my jewels are all onyx....I...I just don't know...

Tam looks at him and sighs. "We'll talk of this after you bid your brother good night... but when you do, tell him. that I said... It is time. If he follows you down, don't worry. Go on... off with ye. I"ll be waiting in yer room."
