Kate played the part well as the traders and guards left her alone. She found the young man in good spirits. He had not been broken and he called her Kate. He will adjust easy she thought to herself. She only gave him a nod and saw he placed his hands on the ground. She removed her cloak and draped it over his shoulders to cover him. Her robes were warm enough for the early Fall. She steeped behind him and softly held his hair. It was matted and filthy. How the traders expected to sell these in poor condition. Then the lad said he was disobedient and would be defiant to bath.<br/><br/>Kate held him by the shoulders just encase he was unsteady from the rush of his mana returned to him. She held her breath and hoped the collar would not shock the man as it was removed. The lady mage tosses the gem en-crested collar to the trader. Kate waved her hands over his feet and hands. The shackles fell the floor with a clang. She gave him a look over and hands him a vile from the satchel.<br/><br/>Kate speaks to him softly, "If you wish to have energy to walk; you will drink and walk behind me until we are out of the market. I will see you are tended to get a hot meal. Over lunch I will tell why I am here. Run and you will be caught and I will not be able to assist you. Play the game and bow to me. I do not want them to strike you."<br/><br/>As they exited Kate voice was sharp and commanding, "Kneel to me and pledge your loyality or you will be left here at the mercy of the guards. Down cast your eyes and fallow me." She placed her hand on his head with her fingers she lightly held his hair in a fist.  "You belong to the House of Lyons."
