Kate smiled at his barely audible purr. His throat on her lap vibrated he lifted his head at tensed, Kate touched his left leg softly, "Easy, I love your purs. Do not stop purring. Your safe. Kate gently placed her hand on his back. Your used to my touch. Just breath. I am just going to hold my hand on your back. I know you not used to it. In time you will allow me to rub your back; it is sore and you only know pain. Your healing. Mental scares may never go away. I want you to have many days like today. I want to take you places of freedom and beauty. Soon you will be able to ask where you want to go. There is so much of the shire you have not seen. If you like, you can go with Jon and Papa on a hunt. Would you like that? Did you enjoy being out in the snow? Do you want to go to the lake and meadow again?"
