Welcome to Gaia! ::

Emnast laughs heartily. "As long as she realizes that her son is not a pet to be tamed, she'll do fine. He needs no such taming, he's so in control of himself, I keep waiting for the explosion.... he's never truly broke, has he?" he asks afterward in a soft half whisper.

"He is fortunate to have ye, Lucy... truly... few could deal with that kind of mindstorm and stay calm enough to guide one through it. Still, I worry. I don't know why, but he feels a touch too contained fer me... I mean he looks like a normal kid and all, but.... he's not... ye know... I mean it... he really isn't... he's a wise old man dressed up in a youthful body... I feel fer him."

The dragon nods, then realizing Kero cannot see him, agrees out loud. "Aye... but that will take away some of the blocks as well... it's a chancy thing, Lucy... once he's relaxed... he may just blow."

"Ly stops by from time to time to visit with the cubs... she's a bit overdue... and Ame joins her more often than not. Their going to be a bit surprised when they drop by this time. Pleasantly, I'm sure..." says Em with a asmile in his voice. "Having Ai awake at long last and having the girls both closer to their actual age should give them something to smile about. That and Kev's upcoming wedding... maybe that's why they're not here... too dang busy."

Emnast gently guides Kero to the kitchen helping him to avoid bumping into things that would make his injuries hurt even more. At the table, Passura's small cool hands join his in leading him to his seat. "I made you a very good dinner, mes'sirrah... and you are to eat all of it... promise?" asks Passura hopefully.

Passura guides his hand to his fork and then to his food. "Bez took down a boar this morning and we have a nice roast.... plus tubers and gravy... an' applesauce.... and I made you some carmelized carrots as well. They are good for the eyes ye know."

Passura sighs. "So you will eat it all and not argue... good. I want to you get better, mes'sirrah... and strong... "

**need to crash, kiddo... ye have a good night... sleep well... amrito vek, dulcha... sweet dreams...**

And so he does, though surprisingly, Kero notices he stubbornly does nothing for him that he cannot do for himself. It is, in many ways, a subtle reminder of the fact that his son, though quite possibly a water mage, is a true healer. So he endures the steady flow of tiny scolds when he attempts to over reach himself and smiles inwardly, each time his hand is batted away from something because he is reaching in the wrong direction.

"I'm so glad you were able to sleep, mes'sirrah." says the boy quietly as he hands Kero a damp cloth to wipe himself with following the meal. "Did you get enough to eat? Do you want anything else?"
