Welcome to Gaia! ::

Amestru, not Passura gathers everyone else together and pulls them deep within the kitsune's mind. Already he can sense the passage of Kerobian through Keva's thoughts.

"Kero, make the gem tacky and your own aura imperivious. That way when we send pieces of him to you, they'll gravitate naturally to the gem... less work and to be perfectly honest... less interference from outside forces... and don't forget to leave an opening for them to enter the gem's center."

Amestru chuckles softly and tethers Bez and Em to him with strings of aethyr. "Go and gather all ye can of me boy... follow these back her to me and I will help Passura sort them out, so that they are sent in an even controlled manner to Kero." He then turns to Passura and nods. "Ready to earn yer staff, young healer? Shall we begin."

And so they work, as a team, with Bez and Em gathering Keva's thoughts, which flock about them like fireflies, clinging to their clothes and hands... Amestru seperates them into identifiable pieces of Keva's life history and slides each piece to Passura who scans each one for sign of contamination before sending it down to Kero, who has the hardest part of all... the reconstruction.

**oh goodie... here Pasa is working so hard to send him only pure memories an Kero goes and taints them anyway.... hmmm twisted **

Finally Bez and Em withdraw, leaving Amestru and Pasa to finish up the sorting . And then it is done. Keva is all in one space, not entirely whole, but like a brand new boxed puzzle, all the pieces are present. Now all anyone has to do is make the toe bone connect to the foot bone, so to speak.

Amestru sends Pasa out and goes to help Kero at the core.

Ame flicks him a thread of thought. "Come out ye fool... let the pot simmer fer a bit. Ye'll be surprised at what Keva can do on his own, now that he's all in one place. You need to rest. Ye don't rush bread and ye don't rush this... Tam's made dinner."

Actually Tam has managed to salvage Kero's forgotten pot of chicken stew, but he has made a nice salad to gowith it and has gotten everything on the table.

He finds that everyone has worked together to move both him and Keva inside. The kitsune is now occupying Pasa's bed and Kero had been put onto the bed next to him.

They are alone, but not for long. Someone had to have been watching for him to wake up, because even before he can stand, Pasa is in the room, handing him a large bowl of stew and a hunk of sourdough bread. You should eat and rest, mes'sirrah." he says firmly.

The boy smiles thinly at him. "Stop doing and start thinking..." he offers lamely.

The boy utters a tired giggle and nods. "Is... is Keva going to be alright?" he asks in a soft voice. "I didn't know pouring him out would make such a mess." He sends a mental picture of bits and pieces of Keva draped all over the living room... Not a gruesome sending, more comical than anything.

Passura sits on the side of the bed and runs his fingers through the fur on Keva's neck. "He looks so odd like that, not man... not beast... are all kitsune's like that. The old one says the fur is in the blood... that this is as much what he is as the other... I don't understand."
