"And sticks tend to warp with the weather and rot away, changing the readings. That is why stone and metal were used." says Ai grinning. "Think you could make me one?"
"Mara looks at the book and scratches her head. "I guess so... don't know how accurate it will be..."
"Well, we really don't need to mark off all the hours... maybe we could mark off high noon, and breakfast and dinner to begin with. Yer Ma tends to work well pass dinner, lunch he remembers though because he can watch the shadows better.,, or should I say lack of shadows." laughs Bez.
"Huh?" stammers Mara in confusion.

*Kero chuckles*
There are very few shadows at Noon, Mara. With the sun directly overhead, Shadows will fall only directly beneath something.

"Ohhh," she cries. "I never noticed that." This northern spirit suspects she's going to check that out when the next day rolls around. The look on her face is priceless, even Ari gets a chuckle from it.

With a squeal of alarm both girls dive behind their father who stands there shaking his head. "Kerobian, stop trying to psyche out my kids, okay?" he grumbles. Assuring them that Mara hasn't suddenly sprouted another twin.

*Kero nods, turning into Bez instead...but giving him a huge hooked nose...and pink eyes and hair*

Ai begins to giggle, as does the girls, but Bez looks fit to be tied. "Kerobian..." he warns with a growl.

*Slowly, the nose morphs into an elephant's trunk, and the hair get's long and Grey, until Grampa Bez is standing there with a trunk for his nose*

Now Ai can no longer contain his laughter, holding his sides, he collapses in a chair, tears runing down his cheeks.
Ari is fascinated by the transformations, but Mara is a little put off. She suspects Kero is making fun of her Daddy, but Bez knows better. Kero is making fun of him and he isn't at all happy about it.
Ari though begins to bug him with a tone of questions.
"How do you do that... Is it a spell... Mama can change... Daddy too... Do you do it like they do... and so on and so on and so on...

*Kero shifts to his normal state*
Sort of. It's very difficult to explain how I shift.

Clearly he has Ari's attention. Mara on the other hand finds herself resenting this wonky big brother of theirs who seem to do nothing if it wasn't designed to garner attention, attention her flighty baby sister is all to willing to give him. She excuses herself gruffly and goes to bed, feeling as though she's been abandoned.

*Kero is on her bed, waiting for her*
I've been meaning to talk to you, Mara. And I can tell from your face what you think of me. That I am some sort of clown. Someone who lives to get attention, and who squanders his powers doing crazy stupid things to get it, huh?

She shrugs and plops down on the foot of the bed. "Yeah, so what of it... nothing I can do about it. I'm not a magical or whatever Daddy called it. Ari is... so go impress her iffin ye want."

*Kero sighs*
Look, I'm sorry if I somehow got you angry, but I was only playing. I do that, even now. There's no rule that says you can't have fun when you grow up. So what's the trouble? I know that me being an attention hound isn't what's really troubling you.

Mara picks up her hair brush and begins to groom her hair. "I have no idea what you are talking about."
