Lord Lyons was a man of large stature; he wore a white silk shirt; a brocade dark blue vest under a in a heavy cotton doublet; and black pants tucked into brown, highly polished, leather boots. His lordship looked human for his hair was dark brown with graying temples. His fox ears were darker than Kate's. His crows-footed, dark green eyes, were lined from years of being exposed to the outdoors.  Kate's father's hands were large and scarred from years of battle. Lyons carried his massive, squared shoulders and muscled chest, straight as a soldier. His very presence commanded respect.<br/>Lyons finished the letter then placed it on the table as James entered the room. His lordship clinched his jaws as he studied the figure of the young man; in a deep, calm voice spoke,  "Enter and his kneel. Speak your name, the name of you master, and tell me why you are here? Speak truth and you will not be punished."<br/>Jonathan was eating his breakfast of pancakes, sausage, and orange juice. He looked exactly like a younger copy of his father. The younger Lyons sat as his father's left with Kate to her father's right. Kate placed her fork on the table and held her hands in her lap. Kate wore a Kelly green dress with matching waist length over jacket. She sat silent at the table when James entered, hurried out, and asked permission to enter.
