Matt was shivering as he was adorned in thread bare clothes and a coat that was worn and tattered. The young neko saw his old mate and nearly did not recognize him. He lowered his eyes to both and bowed low. "I...haave... beeen. sent...to serve. Please...MiLord....do not ....send ... me away." Lyons yells, "Kate come here!" Kate rushed in and looked at Neko. "Papa, no one touch him. He has Scarlet Fever." Kate looked a Alyx, have you had the fever my Love?" Kate walked up to the Neko and took his hand. "Come with me. Who sent you?" The neko kept his eyes down cast. "Capt'n O'Mally." Kate led him upstairs to the the room at the end of the hall. "You will not be sent a way. Papa do not allow anyone near him or into his room unless they have had the fever. All his food must be left outside the door."
