Kate motions to a footman and she whisper to him and Ann quietly got up and brings a mug of warm blood..she added a small stalk of celery and a few other see the drink and ask for tomato juice too. Ann smiles and hands the mug to Alyx. "Here you are dear." She scurries to the kitchen and bring a try of tomato juice for the diners.<br/><br/>Kate took a little of pancake, eggs, and fruit as they were passed. She offered each to Alyx. Lyons was keen to the odor of blood. He immediate looked to the source and gave Alyx a serious expression that upon realizing it was food for him. His eyes went to how own plate and resumed eating. Lyons did not inhale his food. He picked at it first and took his time eating. He savored each bite. "Ann you have no idea how much I miss your cooking away from home."<br/><br/>Ann had returned to her place at the end of the table to be close to the kitchen. Kate knew the woman never at a meal without interruption. Ann would make sure she ate most of her meals before anyone else. This was habit for her and she enjoyed cooking for those that appreciated her effort.<br/><br/>Kate paid little mind to her charge as he drank. He was mostly healed now. She looked at the Captain that sitting across from her. "Captain I see no reason that Alyx can resume training first of next week. I plan to take him to see our town and get him outfitted. Should the you or the quartermaster have a list of items Alyx needs, Papa my I take the carriage into town tomorrow and shop?"<br/><br/>Lyons looks up at her sipping spiced cider, "We will all go into town and shop. We all need new clothes after this campaign. I won't embarrass you Katie looking like I just got off the battlefield. After all we are hosting the first Winterfest Ball. Alyx, you may not be ready to have a house full of people at least you can dress the part." His face ginned and his eyes shined in as morning light filter though the room and danced off the mirror behind him.
