Kate smiled and pets him in her arm. She knew he was confined and needed a good run. The fresh meat and air was just as good as magic as the little panther was growing. Kate could tell he had gained a bit and filled out some. He would be healthy panther when they arrived at port. The high-tide was at 8 am and just after breakfast they disembarked. There awaiting was the gold gilded-black carriage. Peel stood by the carriage. He was over 50 years old, dressed in a footman's uniform. He wore a heavy duster and woolen hat. Kate carried the small panther..now he was at least twice his size. The man bowed to Kate. Kate hugs the man and kissed his cheek. She had grown up knowing Peel. "I missed you so much. This is Rhyas. Rhyas, this my father's driver, Peel."<br/>The elder man nods to the small panther. "I got word the young man would be with you. I hope you had a good voyage."<br/>Kate replied, "The weather was good. Rhyas and I are happy to be off the ship. I know Ann is awating us. I need to shop a bit before going home. We need to streach our legs a bit."<br/><br/>Peel grins a bit, "I planned it so you could. Welcome to Wildwood Shire young Rhyas."
