Kate watched Abby embraced her brother. Jasper was surprised and hugged her back. He was getting affection as he deserved and Kate was happy. "Jasper made a fine impression on King Atrious and his skills will come in handy for training. This will allow us to be together when I go to Seville. He needs to be educated before he can be knighted. The royal guard rarely sees battle. They protect the castle and the royal family. I have made you brother my personal guard. One day he will ready to earn his own wages. Being at my side he is safe and he can adjust at his own pace. Abby, I am so happy with the progress he has made. Your being here has helped him."<br/>Kate hugged Jasper, slowly stroked his cheek and smoothed his hair. "You make no sudden moves around Jasper. Never approach him from behind. Abby, you can touch his face. Keep your movements very slow and gentle. He will not flinch as much. He is too accustomed to being hit. You already know he loves being held."<br/>Kate looked at Matt as he stood up holding the blanket, "Matt. I can only guess your the same."<br/>She kissed Jasper on the cheek. "Sleep where you want. I will be with you shortly."<br/>Kate faced Matt before she led him upstairs, "Matt how are you fairing? Let me see your bruises once you get your room. You may bathe and I will get you fresh clothes. Don't worry I will not hover you. Should you wish to talk I will listen and never make fun of you."<br/>She glanced at Abby, "Do you want your own room?"
