*Kero decides to mentally connect like he had done before, speaking inside the child's mind*
Can you understand me, child?

The child's eyes widen and Kero hears a single word flow through his thoughts. "Passssura....." The child looks at him expectantly.

*Kero looks at him...sending the mental images equivalent of "I don't understand you...what is that?"*

The child points to himself. "Passssura..." Then it point to Kerobian and waits.
"They are a rather polite race." comes Tam's voice from behind him. "He's told you his name and wants yours." He walks in and places Argeeis into her cradle, checking up on her sleeping sister as he does so.

*Kero nods*

Tam...can they hear...or are they deaf like most serpents?

Tam shrugs. "They hear some things, vibrations mostly. They love music, but it's rather tonal, involving lots of percussion. The are rather gifted psychics though, capable from birth on to contact even the minds of those who seemingly have no talent. The are often used by those who can afford their services as truth speakers."

*Kero nods*
So for the purposes of speech, they are deaf...
*Flicks his mind back out*
You're safe with me, Passsura...I won't hurt you...do you want me to heal your wounds?

The boy looks down at the rags about his wrists and holds them up to him expectantly.
**the northern spirit needs rest... cya tomorrow....**

*Kero gently takes them in his own, healing them without leaving so much as a scar*
There we go...all better....anything else you want? Sleep, perhaps?
**G'night...I'll see ye tomorrow as well...be well through the night, heartsib...**

Tam smiles at the two and goes to sit down across from the boy. His face is drawn with worry and exhaustion.
"I sure wish I knew how he got here. I tried questioning Passssura but all I got was a frightened chaotic swirld of horrifying events. He was in some sort of battle wasn't he? Did you find out what was going on? Bez went off to backtrack your passage. He's really upset that something or someone had found out his little hideaway... He started to follow you earlier but I managed to stop him, with you here, he says I should be safe. I... asked him to stay behind, but he said he'd rather stop trouble at a distance than fight it off at his doorstep."

*Kero nods*
From what I can gather, this was an extermination by a group of people in the name of their god...giantoira, or something like that....and the child was sent to be sacrificed to appease his anger...I took care of them...killed all but three....

"Giantoria?" echoes Tam in confusion. "Never heard of him. Must be a new one... or one man has created for himself. Get a drift of its pathos? When fanatics create their own deities, things can get out of hand."
He reaches out to stroke the child's hair and frown. "What shall we do with him then? He can't stay here. Bez has a fear of serpents... and it's a bit ingrained I'm afraid." Kneeling down he looks Passssura in the eye and sends his thoughts into the boy's mind. "Passssura... where is your family?" The boy's mind scream leaves him reeling in pain.
"Ow...." he stammers. jumping to his feet and collapsing back into his chair.

*Kero, however, is made of sterner stuff, and he throws a shield over Tam*
What happened, Passura?

Tam has his head in his hands, wincing in pain, tears streaming from his eyes.
Passssura has curled in upon himself both mentally and physically. He has witnessed far too many horrible things in the last few weeks.

*Kero goes over to him, gently wrapping him up in his arms, physically and mentally...covering him in love and sorrow for what had happened to him*
It's okay...you're safe with me...I won't hurt you....I'm a friend....
Tam...I just remembered his name...their God's name was Garagos....ring a bell?
