Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lyssan stares at him. "Luciel you didn't eat that whole thing by yourself did you?" she starts to ask, then she sees Kero's face, covered in chocolate icing and sighs. "No I guess ye didn't. But couldn't ye have saved me a tiny piece?" she moans sadly looking at her ice cream in dismay.

"You little stinkers..." she declares cutting everyone a generous slice, including LUna, though hers is quite a bit smaller than the others as she has already had some cookies. She serves them all the ice cream and cake, which is a perfect combination because the cake alone would have been far to sweet.

Lyssan snaps on the light and shakes her head. "Yer last night like this and what do ye do... give me grief... what's the matter, tunny still have a hole in it?" she asks pouring them each a large glass of milk.

"It was only a figure of speech, dear.... I meant are you still hungry... what am I saying you are always hungry... here, take another and drink up... ye really need to get yer rest... tomorrow ye'll be back to yer old self..." she says kindly, handing him another cookie.

"Don't worry... tomorrow is a brand new day... right?" says Lyssan with a yawn, downing her milk. "Here... I'll walk ye back and tuck ye in... want a lullaby?" she asks waiting for him at the door, her hand on the switch.

She hold him close and trips the light, stepping out into the well light hall as she does so. Then carries him down to his cabin.

"So, how did you like Luna's special place? Do you think it will make her a fine home as she gets older? Did you three manage to find her cave or not?"

"Soooo... tell me... what did you do?" prompts the kitsune carrying him to his bed and tucking him in. She sits on the edge while Kero tells her all about his day in the swamp. When he finishes she smiles and kisses him on the head.

"I am so proud of you for listening to Luna, dear heart. And I am glad you told me how she's been feeling. I knew things were troubling her, but she tends to hold things in... knowing this will help me and her Daddy to help her become stronger. So... I promised you a lullaby, didn't I..." and so she sings, the same ancient melody from before and it pulls Kero down into a restful dream in which he is chasing butterflies and exploring the depths of a watery pool with a school of iridescent fish. When she is certain he is sound asleep she checks his lightstone, moving it to a spot near the bed and leaves. She too has had a long long day.

She stares at Kero and scratches her head. She looks over at the calendar and sure enough, Kero had marked the days off and he should have switched back in his sleep. Thinking perhaps he had gotten his dates and times mixed up, she walks over to the table and sits down. "What's for breakfast, kiddo.." she calls to Luciel with a smile while absently tapping a four in Luna's hand to remind her she did indeed have one.
