Mitch didn’t even bother responding to Kalista’s ridiculous request as he moved his hands and he handed her the shirt she was demanding, and he said, “That is actually my best shirt, the rest are a lot worse but that’s the life I have led I suppose.”  Watching Arthur leave he said to Kali, “That was an interesting fellow there, Kalista, Arthur Haslik Vance.”  Mitch considered his words for a moment and then he continued, “I think he’s going to be interesting whatever happens.  Now I do have to take exception at one thing.”<br/><br/>Mitch turned his full attention to Kalista and he said, “You’re not a terrible healer, anyone that is around you for more than a moment knows that you have the green thumb and that your healing abilities will be superior.  There are certain things one can tell of a person, like you can tell I’m hard headed and stubborn and am not going to let you leave till we are far gone from this place.”  Mitch grinned, “Or that you’re going to get away with running away.”<br/><br/>Mitch paused, “I won’t make you go if you really don’t want to, Kalista, but I want you to understand that if you want to get away from your grandfather, this is the most opportune time to do it, two men.. one ravishingly handsome.. the other tall and blonde will let you establish the life you have dreamed of.”
