*Kero cries against him for some time, letting all his anger, his grief, his hatred...everything flows away with those tears*

And Tam merely holds him, his own silent tears adding the the soggy pool below them. Finally he urges him to stand up. "I'm going to need help, Taro... to walk out of here... I'd port but one should never do so if one's thoughts are a jumble... so we need to go out the hard way..."

*Kero groans, getting up...and holding Tam up....then carrying him to where there is no salt and laying him down*
We'll sleep here tonight....in the morning, I think I'll have my power back...and I can heal you, or port us back...or both...let's get some sleep, Sira...we've both had one of the worst days of our long lives here...I...I remembered something else as well...may I ask my question before we do?

Tam groans. "More questions, Taro... I fear it is your questions and my answers that brought us to this point...." he sighs and shakes hs head sadly. "Go ahead.. ask... You already know so much.. I cannot see how knowing much more will harm you... but I reserve the option from this point on to say no, I cannot or will not answer that... understand?"

It's nothing important...I just....seeing your mom...do you have an Uncle, Sira? That's all I want to know.

Tam chuckles. "Ye might say that. Should warn ye, I"m adopted, kiddo... kind of like ye are... remember? I think I told ye that before... so yeah, I have an uncle... he's my Ma's twin... only well... they're gods... both of them... and well... they ain't nothing alike. My Da's family died out long ago... Why do you ask?"

*Kero sighs...then chuckles*
Because when I saw yer ma....an image of a gargantuan, smartass snake popped into my head...along with, oddly enough, the sensation of being hoisted into the air by an invisible noose...

Tam snorts though his nose. "He has no hands... what do ye expect him to do... bite ye? No... no way.... nix, nadda, nyet... There is no way I'd let him bite me... not with that mouth... iffin he inhaled... I'd be gone in a flash... what Jor eats... well... stays eaten... until he decides to use it in some way or another..."

Tams laughs out loud. "Now that's a new version if ever I heard one... He has a longer name, but I've always known him as Uncle Jor. "He and Ma haven't always been on the best of relationships... but they are pretty free with each other right now.... He used to tease her something unmerciful."

Tam nuzzles him gently. "She's one of the people I went to see ... she doesn't hate you, kiddo... she's disappointed and terribly hurt... but she said to tell ye that if ye promise to start using that fantabulous head of yers for something better than a hat rack, she'll fergive ye this time."

"Tam smiles... "Then ye will simply have to tell her you will do the best ye can.. and mean it... she'll understand... she's under similar restrainst herself at times. And I understand the bit about keeping promises... they are important... but, dulcha... never let that stop ye from making any promise what so ever. And remember this.... ye may make a promise and keep it to all purposes with full intent and still have another break it for ye... when that happens, yer not obligated by it's terms anymore.

*Kero nods*
Then I will promise to do my best to keep my impulses under control, with the full knowledge that I will sometimes fail. I will also strive to respect and treasure my friends, both from this lifetime and my previous ones.
