Kate eagerly took the bowl and dipped her spoon into it and blew it before taking a bite. "Mmmm. Delish. I did not realize I was so hungry. Abby, you are a good cook. Matt, you and Jasper get some sleep after you eat. Come sunup you can go hunt. I would rather you be outside watching each other's back. Abby and I will hold the fort. Matt, please keep quiet and obey Jasper. Watch yourselves. There is plenty of game. Neither of you take any chances. You see anyone come back here. Even if you see my father. Malora could be with him. Jasper thank you for staying with me. Please, both of you eat some lunch and rest.  Abby rest too. Keep your wings oiled. Soon we will start working on strengthening your muscles so you can fly. Once you have rested we will begin lessons. Reading is good when you need to pass the time. I will teach you a few games. Life is dull without fun."<br/><br/>Kate hate sounding bossy like Princess Amanda but Matt and Jasper did well to know what was expected. Abby, Kate knew she could take of herself but was not sure how educated she was. After she ate the stew she sat beside Abby, "I need to know how much education have you have had. Can you spell your name and reads some common. I can get you ready to take classes by fall. You are a good cook. Who taught you?"
