Kate walked over to him. She held him by the waist, "You will feel much better after your bath. When you want we go on a sleigh ride and shop in town. No doubt you were kept just enough to live. You will gain strength and bit of weight. You may even grow some. You very welcome. I did not ask where the blood came from. The mages use only the best they can find."<br/><br/>Ann stood on the other side of him. "Take your time dear."<br/><br/>The helped him into the tub and Kate left him with Ann. Ann rolled up her sleeves and used a towel under her knees. "I will wash your hair and leave you to bath. Stay as long as you want. If you want the water hotter you pull the lever and the kettle will pour." She hands him a sponge and bar of lavender and sage soap. "Your loin cloth dear. I will bring you fresh underclothes and house clothes. No need for you to stay in bed unless you wish to."
