*Kero looks at the child, love welling in his heart and overflowing through his eyes....and he sits down, softly singing, his tenor warm as the summer sun, until she finally falls asleep...he curls up in his cocoon soon afterwards...marveling at the fact that he had become a father in one night...he wonders where they will find the lighthouse of heat...and what kind of trouble Luna will get into tomorrow...*

The next morning, Luna wakes up in prime form. She was so bored the day before until she found that little door, so today she wants to explore some more, to see what she can find on the ship. She begins with her room, tugging open the drawers and peeking under the bed. All she finds though are bunches of silk fabric that smell very interesting (how is she to know they are clothes?) a desk with funny black liquids in bottles that leave interesting tracks on paper when she walks through the puddle from the one she spills, an enormous trunk that she cannot open by herself (thank goodness, can you imagine Luna inside Lyssan's trunk of many things) and a small black lacquer box, trimmed in gold and set on it's side, so the top opens like a door. She manages to get the lid of the box open but only the barest of cracks when she smells something so familiar it makes her heart ache with longing.

And this is where Kerobian finds her stretched out before the small shrine on the table it sits on with her nose to the crack, tiny draconic tears sliding down her cheeks. The room is an utter mess. Unmentionables are scattered everywhere. She is really rather fortunate some of those drawers didn't fall on her head. There is a pool of ink next to an overturned bottle on top of the desk, luckily none of it has gotten onto anything important and her bedding is halfway on the floor.

*Kero grabs Luna gently by the scruff of her neck...hoisting her into the air and draping her across his shoulders...he then gets to work cleaning up the room, placing unmentionables back in the replaced drawers, and cleaning up the pool of ink and the scattered papers...he closes the door of the shrine, then carries Luna down to his galley, after he and her make up her bed...while she eats the breakfast if fruit and meat he has set before her, he goes and works his magic in her cabin, replcing her things with a child's nursery...instead of a bed, there is a large and spacious crib...two bookshelves, lined with Kero's gifts to her, decorate a wall...near the crib there is a rocking chair, and another small chair sits facing a corner...a toy chest filled to the brim with dollies and other playthings on the one bare wall left...inside the crib are pillows stuffed with clouds and a heap of warm blankets, as well as the stuffed bear he had given her earlier...with that done, Kero goes to Luna, gently picking her up and carrying her to her new room...hoping for a good reaction*

At first Luna seems happy in the room, as she explores the space with enthusiasm, but then she begins to realize something and goes to where the shrine had been. She looks back over her shoulder and Kero and begins to cry. "Home... home gone..." and nothing he does seem to console her.

*Finally realizing what she means, Kero calls for a small shelf, tacking it above her toy chest, and uses it as a holding place for the shrine...the shelf is a beautiful piece of hardwood...as befits a shrine to Inari...Kero picks Luna up and cuddles her, showing her the shrine on its shelf*

How's that, child? Better...ye kin see yer home from yer crib...

She seems to be fine with the arrangement, but later on he hears a loud clatter coming from her room and when he runs down to see what was wrong he finds her buried in toys. Apparently she was trying to climb up on top of the chest and get to the shrine and using toys to help boost her upwards.

*Kero soon extracts her, and holds her close, watching as the pile of toys sorts itself out under his magical eye...he sits her in the chair that faces a corner of the room...checking her back and wings for injuries*

One of her wings is sprained, maybe even fractured. She is trying to be brave and not to cry, but tears are beginning to leak and run down her cheeks. "Home..." she says miserably.

*Kero sets her on the floor, placing the shrine before her...but turning her to face him...he has a worried expression in his eyes*

Luna...sweetheart...I need you to hold still for this, okay...it's going to hurt...but it will make your wing feel better...can you hold still for me, kiddo?
PostPosted: Sat Aug 01, 2009 5:30 pm


Her bottom lip quivering, she nods slowly, looking him straight in the eye. "Owwwie..." she moans trying not to move her wing.

*Kero moves behind her...not daring to numb her nerves, for fear of doing permanent damage...pain may be unpleasant...but it is the best signal for when a physician does something wrong...he gently feels the bone of her wings, slowly having her extend it as best as she can, feeling for breaks or sprains...*
PostPosted: Sat Aug 01, 2009 5:45 pm


It feels like a sprain, but Kero really isn't certain that is all that is wrong. The tissues about the bone are all hot and inflamed and beginning to swell. He suspects a green stick fracture, rather than a clean break and wonders how he is going to immobilize it. One thing for certain, even with a bit of speed healing, Luna isn't going to be flying anywhere anytime soon.

*Kero decides to inspect the bone with his power, letting a shred of Earth magic flow from his magical core...he teases it out and pushes it into her bones, feeling for what is wrong, and how he can fix it...*
PostPosted: Sat Aug 01, 2009 6:06 pm


Ah, it's a break alright. In the long weight bearing bone of the right wing. Because she is so young and the bone is hollow, it cracked along its lengths when one of her toys landed on it the wrong way. Such breaks heal rather fast, and too much cellular manipulation in one so young can be dangerous, so it may be best ye simply splint it and let nature take it's course.

*Which is what Kero decides to do...he wills some of his medical supplies into existence, gently splinting Luna's wing...he is extremely gentle...but she soon finds that she cannot move the wing...and he has it in a sling as well...to be safe...*

Now Luna...I don't want you flying for a few weeks, okay...yer hurt, kiddo...and yer wing needs time to heal...I don't want ye to move that wing, if ye kin help it...

*He goes over to the shelf, peeling it off and replacing it at floor level, out of the way*

There...now ye kin get to it without flying or climbing...would ye like a grand tour of your room...to pass some time?

*Kero makes a gallant bow, offering her his arms...he's trained in how to carry a creature with broken limbs...and can do so in comfort to them*
