Kate sat in his desk chair and pointed at the bed, "Please sit. There are a few main rules. Never go into anyone's room without knocking. Never be late for meals unless you're on an outing or sick.  If a guard is on duty, you keep a distance of 10 feet. No going into the barracks. If the study doors are closed I wait for Papa to open them. He is busy with stuff or with someone if they are closed. Papa is generous with his time and is a firm but fair man. In time he will become a good friend. He takes his time making friends. Betray him and he is your worst enemy. Jacques, you are in a safe place. Oh yeah, no magic around Papa. We can practice outside away from the manor and at the Mage Guild castle. You have run of the manor and may go into the parlor, the kitchen and go into Papa's study and library any time the door is open. Read any book you like. If the family goes to visit other lords, you may stay. If we go to the palace, you come with us. Anything else comes up ask. Have you formal clothes? I go to dances and would love to have you accompany me."
