"I didn't want to do it... not really... but she kept saying you like pranks, that you do them too and that it didn't matter... how stupid could I be... of course it matters... I still don't know enough about anything... how can I do anything safely?"
The boy stares out at the water. Suddenly he looks at Kerobian in confusion. "This place... is sterile... why?"

*Kero looks at him*
I built this place, Pasa....it was made from my imagination, and the help of a Twilight God who owed me a favor...it is my sanctuary, my place of peace...do you like it?

The boy looks around thoughtfully. "Nothing lives here... nothing that thinks... the animals are small in thought.... it is a safe but dead place... I... I think it is beautiful but deadly, mes'sirrah. If one lived here for any length of time, one would forget what it means to be alive."

*Kero nods*
Indeed, Pasa...this is where I come to think, and to calm down...nothing more...it is a beautiful place, but it is dead.
*Looks at him*
Now, I do want to talk to you about something. You know you are forgiven for this, right?

"You shouldn't..." mutters Passura in a soft voice drawing his knees up to his chin. "Had someone been with you, they would have been hurt and we both know it."

**Sorry about the delay...internet being a brat**
*Kero smiles*
But they weren't...Pasa, don't what if...or you'll go nuts.

Suddenly the boy looks up at him and smiles sweetly. "I could say the same of you mes'sirrah." Then he falls silent and sighs. "I still feel bad."

*Kero nods*
And that's natural....and good. It means you know right from wrong. I'd be disappointed if you didn't....heck, I'd probably be even harder on you than I'm going to be.
*He hugs him close*
But for now, I want you to know that you are forgiven, got that?

Passura sighs. "Thank you, mes'sirrah. I am grateful."

*Kero smiles, hugging the boy close, then gently separates him*
This doesn't mean you aren't going to be punished, though....we'll keep it between us, though...okay?

The boy nods sadly and wipes his face. "Yes, mes'sirrah. What room do you want me to paint and what color... "

*Kero barely stops his chuckle*
Pasa, I'm not going to make you paint a room...firstly, I don't like the smell of paint, and secondly, you do enough work as it is. What do you think your punishment should be, is my question?

Aren't you going to make me think about what I did?" the boy asks in astonishment. "The wiseman always says busy hands free the mind to discover one's errors."

What did you do wrong, Pasa? Have you not been beating yourself up over what you did wrong this whole time?

"I should think about listening to my inner voice more." says the boy quietly, stubbornly.
