Lyons look at the young man as he spoke it had been years since he and the lads father were in battle. "Thank you Jacuqes  I am sorry for your loss. I met your father years ago and was with him when he found out he had you. He was so proud. Once asked if I would take you in should anything happen. I sent word trying to find you without your uncle knowing and it was too risky. I did not want to loose you to him. I thought it best to leave you under the protection of the mages until you were  of age to decide for yourself. My offer stand, you may stay here or go live in the mage guild. I do not think it wise to live on your own. I have given shelter to many of your uncles former slaves. Kate will help you  make friends. I can to your education is complete. You were on your survival training  the last month before taking your vows. I do not mind you staying here. I am not fund of magic and ask you not to use it around me. I am sure Kate will enjoy having someone she can practice with. Do you know how to wield a blade?"
