Kate was stunned she did not want Matt to be angry. She walked toward her mother's picture then looked back at Matt. "I am sorry."<br/>She looked up at her mother, "I tried."<br/>The female's voiced answered, "Your father was the same only worse. He'll come around. You, need to let things be and give the boy time. No rush. Let it be. You keep Jasper close. Go see your dragons."<br/>Kate crept across the floor and brushed her hand against Jasper's, "I know he is not angry at me as the past. You feel the same, you can't express it. I see it in your eyes. You know how he feels."<br/><br/>Kate turned her head toward Abby, "I am sorry. I am going to take Jasper to see the dragons. I know you can take care of  yourself, Matt. How else could you remain alive?"<br/><br/>The lord spoke when Kate passed, "Mage Kate, thanks for bringing the Lad."<br/>Kate shook her head, "Matt will make his own way. Papa did. I did not mean to make him mad."<br/><br/>The man in the picture sighed, "Well, Lad. What say you?"<br/>The burly man in the picture across from the lord spoke in a deep Scottish rogue, "Come on Lad speak up. You pride is hurt. Is all. Shake it off and sleep on this. The lad's been given a boon and he's never had before. Quite a shock to know you belong to a lineage of nobles. Go on come back tomorrow."
