Kate was happy to have Reika's company. Once in town Kate took Reika to her favorite shop. Kate made sure she was dressed nicely and in fashion. It was fun to try on hats and get a new dress for dances. Kate took the girl next door to the cobbler for shoes and riding boots. She also go her skates and slippers for dancing. Now Reika would be part of the house of Lyons and would dress in satin and lace. Kate brought the girl to her favorite bakery and smiths. "It is outlawed for us to carry a sword. If you like you can carry a blade concealed. Do you want to have armor under you clothes?" Kate was not sure if Reika wanted leather armor under her dress and blouses.<br/><br/>Alyx was kept busy with the celebrations, he was given new armor of his choosing and taken with soldiers to pub down by the keep. Heidi's place would be too crowed this time. The town was all decorated with greenery and bright candles in the store windows.<br/><br/>Kate had fun taking Reika to her favorite stores and the bakery. They were both hungry by the time they finished. It was dusk before Kate met up with Alyx and her brother. Both men had been given a warm bath, time to clean up and new clothes. Peel had driven to keep to take them to the manor. There Ann had warm drinks and light meal prepared.
