The Captain looked out as the sun was going down, " Let me be the judge of that. Not all like to fight, but is good to know how." He give Alyx's back a firm pat. He walks beside the younger man, "Lets get inside and get some of Ann's cook'n will be welcome respite after being this cold. Still it gets colder and blizzards are common. Good to have you lad here." He was impressed with the young man and was relieved her was with a good temperament. *I have seen a lot men with difficult attitudes.*<br/><br/>He was not sure what the young man would be like when he first say Alyx. He never saw anyone so hurt and weak before. He knew Kate was a good healer. He had not many encounters with vampires and his fears were removed when he saw how Kate and the lad treated each other. Kate broke a few rules and he did not say anything to Lyons. He knew Kate turned down many suitors since she was 16 year old. Seeing her happy was welcoming. The Captain kept a close watch on the young man.<br/><br/>One inside, Ann had hot apple cider in mugs in a tray by the back door. Supper was on the table. "Supper is informal tonight. Come and eat."<br/><br/>Kate took a mug and took her seat by the table. She liked to have informal suppers and left her coat on..she removed her gloves and scarf and handed them to Vincent. He was by the door. Vincent was over 50. He was just a few years older than Lord Lyons. He had gray hair in a fashionable pony tail that is tied at the ends with a black silk ribbon. He always dressed nicely in dark navy silk or velvet suits. His black shoes were plain and polished. He was handy with handkerchief or smelling salts. Kate was not as close to him as she was to Ann. Her father was very close to the man that taught him to be gentlemanly. He was called upon to give new arrivals lessons. He never spoke much as he oversaw the running of the house and took care of Lord Lyons and guests.
