Tam smiles at them both. "Amen to that, Kero... amen to that. Tell me, Corby. Why was the High Lord going to send you out this way in the first place?" He pulls down some bread and jam, then sets a pot of tea to brew.
Corby sighs. "To keep me safe I suspect. As well as to assure I don't lose what little faith I do have in the hatred that seems to spring up in my wake at the High Temple. When I say that there are those who resent my presence there, Talesian... I do not exaggerate in the least. "

*Kero nods*
And those people are not true believers, but false priests...Lathander teaches acceptance of all...I would know, I've studied at his temple for almost a decade now...and it's a false priest who does not practice what he preaches.

Corby sighs. "Some of them are merely misled, I fear. All their lives they have been taught that we are little more than animals... it is hard to change a lifetime of teaching, even when faced with the truth. Others look upon us as travesties... the tales behind our existences are often so laced with falsehood, no one truly understands who and what we are. And others yet view us a demons, evil beings bent on destroying them. Then there are merely those who are jealous and frustrated... and we all know about them."

*Kero nods*
Yes indeed...a lot of my haters in the temple were jealous of my magical power...they never knew the curse it bears...if my emotions aren't under complete control, I destroy things, and people...but they choose not to see it...they choose only to see the arrogant cub who can wield Fire and control it if he wants to...

Tam chuckles softly. "Kero, ye brought half of that on yerself... Not only were ye arrogant but ye loved to show off as well... but I do understand, both of you. I may look more human than either of you, but my differences are such that when people do see them.... guess what the first word out of their mouth tends to be?"

"Changling...." says Tam quietly. "Or demon... one or the other... either way, it did not sit good. I am neither a changling... nor am I a demon. The later hurt most of all I think. Over time I learned how to hide it, my appearance as well as my feelings when others thought to make something of it. I could have changed it, I suppose. But this is a shape that was given to me. It means something to me... it is me."

*Kero nods*
Those people who called you a demon don't know what they speak of, sira...not one bit....

Tam smiles at him "Thank you, dulcha... but the truth is... was a time when they would not have been too far from wrong... perhaps that is why it stings so now. Anyway... you are here now Corby. Has Kero been working you hard enough?"
Corby rubs his hands and laughs sheepishly. "No more than I deserve. I'm truly out of practice. It is not that Albion disapproved of my music, but I've had so much to lean... starting with humility...."

*Kero nods*
We've both had lessons in that...did sira tell you why I'm here, and not at the temple?

Corby shakes his head no. "Why... has there been some trouble up there I should know about?" he asks buttering a slice of bread.

*Kero shakes his head*
I'm grounded...for a month....because of my arrogance....*Looks at Tam, then back at Corby*
Without the possibility of parole, too...

"Nice try, kiddo... won't work... not this time." says Tam softly placing a mug before him. He looks at Corby and gives him a thin smile. "You've met me mother, right? Well, he tried to twist her arm into doing what he wanted by threatening to harm her."
Corby's eyes go as wide as saucers. "M'lady Alysian? That tiny kitsune? Lord of Morning, what did she do when ye tried that, Kero?"

"Nothing really..." laughs Tam softly. "She kind of called his bluff. she told him she was going to do something and he told her she couldn't do it.... and well... she showed him she could and sent him home. Ma's like that, ye know. I learned long ago... never ever tell her she can't do something... she's probably already done it a million times over for all ye know."
