Kate realized Peel was waiting for her orders to proceed home. She did not want the jarring of the carriage to hurt him. She removed a black case from her bag and attached the needle to the syringe then filled the needle with a vial of clear liquid. "I hate needles too. I am going to administer this after you feel my mana on your hip. Deep breath. You will feel warmth followed by a cold rush. You will feel sleepy after you eat. Do not fight the poppy. You sleep when ready. I will give you another dose tonight. I will taper the amount so you do not become addicted."<br/><br/>Kate returned the contents to the case and basket. There was nothing left from the basket. She had half a loaf of gingerbread in her bag along with a small orange.  She lifted her body and stuck her head out the window. "Peel we are ready to go home."<br/><br/>Kate resumed her position next to him. The carriage jolted and moments the horses were moving at a full canter. Once he finished eating she offered him a red and white sugar stick.<br/><br/>"This will settle your stomach. Do you like peppermint?"<br/><br/>When his eyes drooped and his breathing eased she spoke to him, "Lean on me and close your eyes. Take a Deep breath. Another deep breath. One more deep breath. Syn, I will watch over you from now on. You are on permanent holiday from your former life."
