Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Nope... not Loki... though he does mimic him at times with all the trouble he causes... give up?" chuckles the bard lifting down a sizable chunk of cheese.

"Nope... honestly.... I thought ye had more than a passing acquaintance with him yerself, dulcha... as ye used to use his name so much...."

"Why I'm talking about Mr. Nobody... who else?" laughs Tam with a wink to Hopian. "I mean that poor guy gets blamed for everything."

"Nobody... Mr. Nobody... don't ye remember... whenever I found the cookie jar lid open and would ask who's been in it... what would ye say..." prompts Tam with a smirk.

Tam nods firmly and looks at Hopian, not realizing that Salunia has already returned. "Yes, that is exactly what you'd say and when ye were asked who messed up yer room and who took my sheet music, it was always Nobody... Like I said... that little dude has been everywhere." Suddenly he turns around and sees her standing there with the basket in her mouth, her eyes wide and worried.

"Don't tell me... Nobody has been at yer house too?" bemoans Tam with a dramatic flair. "We need to get a warrant out fer his arrest and pronto..."

She puts the basket on the stool and runs into the living room to hide.

Tam looks at Hopian and shrugs. "I wonder what she's been into." he says with a soft chuckle. "Ye think I should go tell her I'm only joking around?"

Tam heaves a gusty sigh and dries his hands on a towel. "Very well, ye two take over here... this may take a while."

He goes into the living room and looks around, finally spying a tiny patch of tan fur from the cubby hole under his desk. Getting down on his hands and knees, he peers into the shadows there and tells her he was only teasing. "Really, princess... it's okay... If ye taken a cookie, I don't mind... trust me... that is why we bake them... to get eaten... come here to Uncle Tam..." He holds out his arm and waits, not wanted to upset her any further.

"Really and truly... cross my heart and hope to die... I don't mind... I was only teasing yer Uncle Kero... he did a really silly thing this morning." He says pulling her onto his lap and sitting there on the floor with her, smoothing her fur and rubbing her ears.

"Remember how his tale has those toxins... well one puts things to sleep so he put some in his ears because I was snoring. He could have rolled me over, woke me up or left the room... but did he... noooo. He made himself unable to hear." Laughs Tam shaking his head. "In my book that is very very silly... what about yers?"
