"Feels good to say no. Around me, you can say no and I will not get angry. You can not say it as often as you like to others. Especially my father or the King. Ra'ken, your adjustment is going to be easier. You are willing to try new things. This that is good. I want you to be happy and have fun. You would get bored not working a little. Would you like to learn how to read and write common and the cat-folk have a written language? I am not fluent in Felin-merrow we can learn together. My father has shelves of books written to study languages of Terra-Firma. These you may study. Very few things are forbidden now."<br/><br/>Kate finished her food and looked at his plate.
