Welcome to Gaia! ::

She rolls her eyes and shakes her head. "I'll ignore that for now.... yer terrible, Kerobian.... no wonder Tam doesn't know what to do with ye half the time. Incorrigible...."

"That's alright. This is not a monastic order that sense of the word. Many of our brethren are married. And I would be a sorry healer, iffin I didn't know the way of things, wouldn't I... still, it might be best iffin ye didn't go about the temple cracking that sort of joke, unless ye know yer listener won't be offended. Some of the older brothers and nuns are a bit touchy about that subject." she replies with a smile.

"Heavens, no... do ye see me chasing ye around the temple grounds trying to wack ye with my walking stick?" laughs the healer shaking her head. "Now, back to Master Talesian... you are quite certain he was completely encased in that ice? No... he had to have been, his body temp was dangerously low when ye got him here... but did he cause the ice or did the ice chill him?" she wonders out loud.

"There is a very good chance he formed the ice." comes a voice from the doorway. Turning they see Hopian standing there, looking worried. "I suspect he called the ice.... it's a way many empaths numb their feelings when things get out of control. But because he was in a rather small cave that had a water source in it, the spell got out of control. But if that is indeed the case... it was Ai who called the ice, not Tam. I don't see Tam going that far overboard.""

"I agree... she'd only say he got what he had coming to him... and he appears to be in a deep enough emotional pit as it is... But if it is true we have a serious problem. Tam's been trying to figure out a way to heal her, emotionally... that's how I think he knew what to do, but Tam wouldn't have done that... Ai on the other hand seems to have seen that knowledge as something viably usable. If we have a honest to goodness personality split here, where one hand doesn't know what the other is doing but manages to share knowledge, he's in trouble... how in the hell do we make him whole or a better question is.... has he ever been whole?" sighs Hopian slumping his way to Shar's couch.

Shar shakes her head. "I kind of wondered about that. Whenever he shifted into his lion form he changed personalities, but always seemed to know what was going on, I just wrote it off to him feeling freer to express himself in that form and never thought about it much, but ye know... each time he embrace the lioness form it was younger than the last... and look at him now... so small and insecure... who are we dealing with in there... Ai or Tam... if it's Ai, or some fragment of Ai, she appears to be suffering a serious setback... if it's Tam...." her words hang in the air between them.

Hopian shakes his head. "No... no way... yer almost there, almost through yer rejuvenation. Ye cut it off now and it will fail. Ye'll just have to do it over... and while that wouldn't be the end of the world... think of how Tam would feel if he saw all his hard work go for naught.... already he has such a low self esteem... Almost... almost I wish ye hadn't chose him as a guardian... but then no one had a way of knowing he had these buried problems, least of all him... And he has done quite well up to now, stubborn man that he is.... raising ye for the most part singlehandedly, through some rather hairraisng events as well... But maybe..... there just might be a way... I know ye used to talk to yer inner self once in awhile.... before... ye think ye can reach him again.... iffin ye did a dream walk but turned it inward?"

Hopian does a head smack and laughs self consciously. "I deserve that one.... man I got so wrapped up in this I forgot.... twenty lashes with a wet noodle at some future date... we have things to do right now..... Shar, I need a vial, please." he says telling Kero to get comfortable. Reawakening can sometimes be disruptive.

**ok, ye mean his blood right? at least that is what I thought ye meant.... as they are bound through the blood to begin with.... correct me iffin I'm wrong and I'll edit the post...**

Honorian slices the side of his paw and dribbles some blood into the vial, causing Shar to flinch. But he figures it was easier on her this way that to let Kero drink directly from the slash. Then he hands the vial to Kero and waits.
