*Kero sighs*
Keva...I'm going to show you what I can do...even to a mind healer...and then I'm going to show you the things I have done...
*Suddenly, to all intents and purposes, Kero disappears...no sound, no noise...he just winks out....then reappears...and his mental form touches Keva's mental head...a link unreadable by Pasa...and sudden;y, images, disjointed ones, flicker through the male's mind*
A dragonling, thrown off a nest before she could fly....A young dragon, lying in his own blood, a sword in his heart...Kero, as a centaur, running down a group of children trying to escape him, trampling them underneath his feet....Kero, laughing as he hurls the souls of those he didn't like into the abyss...One soul, shining with light, asks him why he's so angry...he grabs her and hurls her into the shadowed realm's lowest level....these and other horrors, all perpetuated by Kero...secrets he hides even from Lyssan...from everyone, even Hopian...
*Kero breaks contact*
Now you know....

Keva sighs and reaching out with his thought embraces Kerobian. "Ma once told me... done is done, uncle... The past, unlike the future is cut in stone, but like stone, what one does in the future will either re-enforce or erode that which was carved. Our lives are like the elements which scour the mountains clean... and no man is irredeemable. Tell me truly, did you relish the telling of that... or did ye fear it... me thinks you've gone beyond it... most people get but one chance... you have had a life time of chances... and yet... do you know what the funny thing is... it matter not what has gone, but the state ye are in at the end... put it to rest, uncle... it is no longer what ye are."
Passura walks up beside them and gives Kerobian a hug. "It never was what ye were... only what others thought ye were to begin with..." then he walks away and goes outside.
Keva blinks and shakes his head. "Did my eyes deceive me or were his eyes purple just then?"

*Kero nods*
My question is, how did he hear me? I don't allow many into my mind. Anyways, someday he'll learn I'm not perfect. I just hope it happens soon.
*Meanwhile, Rhea has appeared in front of Pasa in his room*
So, I heard you tried to prank Tam the other day? Would you like to learn how to do some really good pranks?

Pasa shrugs. "I almost made him sick..." he replies with a touch of chagrin. "Is it really really important to pull pranks on people?"

*Rhea shakes her head*
No...but how did you almost make Tam sick? Tabasco isn't poison...he'd have had a fiery mouth, but it wouldn't have made him sick.

Passura shrugs. "I'm not sure... but he sure didn't look good. Rhea... why does mes'sirrah feel he needs to frighten me?" he asks putting his case away on a shelf. "And do you have any sour wine or sea salt I can use to make ink with. I tried this morning, but something went wrong."

*Rhea nods, handing both to him*
Here you are...and you shouldn't read his mind, you know...if there's one thing that will make him angry, it's that. And Tam didn't look good because he is still recovering from giving birth..you didn't make him sick...you didn't help, certainly, but you didn't make him sick.
And I don't know why Kero feels he needs to frighten you, unless...yes I do...when my son was born, he always looked up to Kero...practically worshiped him...it really wasn't very good...then Kero had to do something horrible, and my son wound up watching....masybe that's why he feels he needs to frighten you...he's worried you see him as perfect, and is trying to relieve you of that fact.

Passura frowns. "But I didn't. I heard what Keva was saying... out loud and inside. I try not to listen,,,but sometimes, especially when someone feels very strongly about something, they project so loudly it is as if they are shouting in my inner ear. He was upset about something Kero showed him. I don't know what it was exactly, but while he was talking I got this gut feeling Kero has hurting deep inside and needed me. I really do hope I didn't make him too angry."

No...not if you didn't do it on purpose. Let me ask you something, Pasa...is Kero perfect?

Pasa laughs and shakes his head. "No one is perfect. He has a nasty temper and is quite the perfectionist... but he has a good heart and is very devoted to those he cares for. Why do you ask?"

*Rhea nods*
I just wanted to be sure you didn't see him that way. Now, how about we discuss pranks...I can see you've a bent for mischief...and I can teach you how to apply that in a funny, but harmless way...care to learn from a master?

He bows to her with a grin. "Teach away, oh great and wise purveyor of pranks and providence."

*Rhea smiles*
Alright...the first thing to do with a prank is make sure it's harmless...and that its funny, not cruel. Here...come with me..Kero's occupied at the moment..I just heard him leave...*Takes Passura's hand and robes them in invisibility*...Now...we're going to pull a harmless prank, one that also meets rule number two: Unexpectedness...if your victim expects it, then the joke is lost. With me so far?

Passura nods. "I think so... I thought I had most of that down... but my trick on the Singer didn't go so well... " he sighs and shakes hs head. "Pranking is harder than it looks."

*Rhea nods back, visible to him, but nobody else*
It didn;t work because he expected it....you have to prank in secret...now, let's go to Kero's room...I'll show you two pranks I use on him.
*Leads the way*
