"As am I. I am so happy your here." Kate squeezes his hand. Then walks out. She runs down the stairs to Ann. "Ann.. Alyx is ready to eat. I would never have thought Malora would have a vampire as as a pet. They can be dangerous if starved. We have a large heard of stags and game. Have you gotten word from Papa or Johh?"<br/><br/>Ann takes the large glass container of blood; pours it into a mug and warms it over the steam from the kettle on the stove. She then ladels out roast with broth into a bowl. This will take the edge off. I will send up Megan to help you with his bath. "No dear no word from your father or Johh. They should arrive any time. You know your father would not miss Winterfest and Johh is always late."<br/>Kate places the food on the tray and picks it up. "Thank you and would you come up to meet him? His name is Alyxander. He is very nice and gracious.  Kate picks up a sweet roll and four almond cookies.<br/><br/>Ann smiles and as the young servant girl that was helping her cook, "Megan go help Katherine and run a bath for our new arrival."<br/><br/>The servant girl of 20 fallows Kate. "Miss Kate, a vampire, are we safe? The girl had a scared expression.<br/><br/>Kate looks at her very seriously, "We are safe as long as he is given blood from our animals and he is treated with kindness and respect.  He is very pleasant. Remember he is my gift and you may not have any attachment to him."<br/><br/>The servant blinks, "Yes Miss Kate. You never said that before about a guest or visitor. Is he handsome?"<br/><br/>Kate smiles and nods, "He's healing and yes I have not see bluer eyes ever. I warn you. He is been beaten worse than any I have ever seen. Don't be squeamish."<br/><br/>The girl looks at Kate nods, "I will do my best Kate."<br/><br/>Kate hands the tray to Megan, "Set this on the table and go fill the tub."<br/><br/>Kate gently knocks on the door, "Alyx is Kate, Megan is her to fill your bath. May we enter?"
