*Kero follows him*

Corby...sit down...we need to talk for a second...

The neko looks up with a sullen glare then suddenly he sits down and puts his face into his hands. "Forgive me..." he whispers softly, rubbing at his cheeks.

*Kero nods*

Of course...*Pulls up a chair and sits across from him*...Corby...I know what you're going through...I...I've had my share of loss, too...and I want to help you...but I can only help you if you let me...okay...you have to trust me. I know I'm only a child, but I have had many years to learn many things...let me help you, Corby...

Tam looks up with a worried expression. "Is something wrong?" He asks quietly shooing Salunia out of the room by telling her to go check on her parents.

Corby starts to shake his head, but Kero stops him.

*Kero nods*

There, but it is not my business to tell you, Tam...as Corby's teacher, it would not be right for me to go around and blab his secrets and his feelings to the world. If Corby wishes to tell you, he can...but I will not.

*Looks at Corby*

However, I want you to know that you can trust both of us...what I just said is true. Neither of us want to hurt you, and if you let us, we can both help you truly unlock that talent you have hidden.

Corby snorts through his nose. "Sure ye can... and ye can change the attitude of the world while yer at it, right?" he shakes his head and flashes them both a wan smile. "Yer almost human, Tam... and he's protected ye, Kero... face it. He's seen to it that ye've only come into contact with the right sort of people."

*Kero smiles*

Yes...he has...and he's given me a great hope, and much knowledge as well...we can change the world, Corby...but we all have to start small...helping each other...and letting ourselves be helped...no, I can't appear as a messenger from on high and give the world the good word of peace, and love...but I can help an old friend of mine who needs a few lessons and a shoulder to cry on sometimes...

"Old..." laughs Corby bitterly. "I'll give ye that... though I didn't know ye all that well while ye were old enough to claim that sort of kindship... ye were more of a pesky brat than a friend. But we loved ye all the same." He looks to Tam ans sighs. "He's damn to optimistic for his own good, Teacher. Ye've done him no good true service by hiding him here."

Tam smiles thinly and shakes his head. "Kero's no novice to prejudice... he's felt it's sting from time to time. Though I do admit I've sheltered him... I've my reasons though, Corby... plenty of them. Still, you never let it get to you before. You always knew ye were better than the common folk so it didn't matter what they said."

The neko groans. "Yeah... me and my big shot mouth... used to get me and Chrystal is so much trouble. But we were minstrels and minstrels had a bit of immunity... and well ye know... performing animals are not all that unusual... seeing one preach from a pulpit... well that's an entirely different picture."

*Kero groans*

I am not on a pulpit!

Corby shakes his head vigorously. "No, but I am from time to time. Kind of hard to get a message across when people look at you as being less than they are."

*Kero nods*

Simple...prove yourself to them....challenge them....I did that with students who thought they were better than me because they walked on two legs....they had claimed Mica and Shar favored me because I was a teacher's pet, literally...So I simply sat down with them, and proved myself...because I had studied, and they hadn't...that boy was the laughingstock of the school that day...

Corby flashes Tam a sad look. "Man, he really is an innocent, isn't he?"

Tam shrugs. "That's just the way he is, kiddo. Truth is... his method does work... on a one to one basis. I suspect your not dealing with a one on one are ye?"

The neko shakes his head sadly. "No.... I'm not." he heaves a breathy sigh and looks up. "Kero, don't lose that optimism... please? It is great to hear one of us speak so positively about this."

*Kero nods*

Don't worry, sir...it's what makes me a great friend...I believe that if one doesn't see the bright side of things, one will lose sight of what is good...and become like Ebenezer Scrooge....not a good thought...
PostPosted: Mon Nov 23, 2009 2:34 pm


Corby smiles at him and nods. "It is a very good attitude... trust me. And one I used to have as well, until it was beaten out of me. Don't lose it, kid... Life is all the better for it." He sighs and studies his finger tips. "I have been studying to become a priest, not merely an acolyte... not merely a servant... but one who spreads the word. The High Lord believes I could do much good... half of his advisers see me as an abomination. It helps that he refuses to accept their views... helps even more that it was he who brought me to the temple in the first place. He got to know me before they could interfere as he formed an opinion of me. Him, I trust... with my heart and my faith... I asked to come here, true, but he was half way to sending me here in the first place."

*Kero smiles, and hugs Corby, rearing up and placing his paws around his neck...he speaks in his layered voice...musical and sweet, as all thirteen of him talk together*

You'll do fine...perhaps you will change what others cannot...but you can only do what you can...as long as you do that, then you can face the all-father without being ashamed, for you will have done your best.
