The man before was literally pocked in scars.<br/><br/>"Do not worry about a thing. You have been through enough. Here you are no longer a pet to be the object of your mistress's whims. You are a man and will be treated as one. I care not for titles. Please call me Kate or Katie. What is the name you were born with? Do not get up. I will bring you supper and honey-mead. May I have you left hand please?"
