Kate was helping a customer getting herbs for a toothache and lame horse. Then her father showed up after seeing to business at the town keep. The mage turned to the sound of her voice picking a jar of salve. "Oh. Hello. Glad you could make it."<br/><br/>The man looked at the lad. "You the lad causing trouble in the shire?"<br/><br/>Kate squinted her lips and cheeks, "Go easy on him. Papa, he is not a bad sort. Just misguided. I think he can help you."<br/><br/>Lord Lyons was dressed in battle-worn uniform with chain mail tunic. "Lad accompany me to my home and tell me about you. Kate seems to think you can be of service. She is rarely wrong about character. I am Kate's father, Lord Lyons."<br/><br/>He extended his hand and gripped the lad's firmly and placed his free hand on the lad's collarbone.
