Kate was happy to see his eyes open after such a long sleep. She was surprised his face turn crimson at the mention of his bath. "I promise no peppermint. I have known friends that do not like it."<br/><br/>Ann brought a bowl over to Kate, "I know you are capable of feeding yourself. This will be the only time I have to pamper you. You deserve a little spoiling after all you have suffered. Small bites and in a few days I will get you on solid food. Never again will you be forced to fight. I will see that you continue to train. With the skills you have Papa might spar with you."<br/><br/>Kate took the bowl from Ann and placed it in her lap. She held the spoon to his lips as she spoke. "Not until you completely healed will you be allowed to spar. I will show you around the manor as you feel mobile. Your looking better already. You are lucky you can self-heal, Trillen."<br/><br/>She fed him half the large porcelain bowl of stag stew with vegetables. "I would not give you a bath before your wounds have scabbed over. May I ask if you are pure human or can you shape-shift? You may heal faster in your original form. I noticed you are able to self-heal. That is one ability I do not have. I can heal others but I have to rely on nature or God whatever you believe in."<br/><br/>She handed him an orange segment. If you can keep this down you may have more. We import these from the Southlands.  Would you like hot apple cider or tea? We grow our own apple and make cider and apple brandy. I gave you your last shot of poppy this morning. Tomorrow you may have stronger spirits of brandy or a hot toddy."<br/><br/>Kate handed Ann the bowl. Ann took the bowl and placed it on a silver tray.  Then Ann moved closer to the bed and held her arm out. "Dear, is bath time and give yourself time to sit on the edge of the bed. When your ready to stand hold on to me and Katie. You got nothing I've not seen before. The bath is a few step away."
