Kate sat next to him and slowly placed the back of her hand to his good cheek. "Take your time. I know your in a fog right now. You are relieved of all duties until you are healed. You need anything just ask. I will not let you starve or suffer." Kate covers his lips with balm of beeswax and rosemary oil from a tiny jar from her pocket. It is warm to his parched and cracked lips. She let him take sips from the mug.<br/><br/>"Please call me Kate or Katie. What is the name you were given at birth? Never again will you be in the arena circuit. I will not allow you to fight for sport or money. When you are able to stand, you may train and keep your body muscled and skills sharp"<br/><br/>Kate checked his arms and legs to see if the swelling was down. She removed the splints from his legs and arms. "Now we let nature heal you. Let me know when the pain is uncomfortable. The best thing for you is Ann's cooking and rest."
