Kate was happy to see her charge eat and he was doing much better in their cabin. Kate could not wait for him to get home. She would take him to the lake and he could feel the grass and gentle breeze. It would be months before Spring. Winter had its own essence. She would take him into the forest so he could track hidden prey in the ground. She wanted to watch him frolic in the snow and run. Those powerful muscles needed to be developed and he needed a place to roam. The cabin was a good place for him to feel safe and heal.  Kate watched him eat and that the best sign of all.<br/><br/>Hours passed and the captain returned. He brought her crates filled with chicken. He had a whole side of stag and herbs. The Captain had a cabin boy bring a large package to the room. "My gift, I have a few things for you. You may opened these once your fever breaks. If they don't fit I will take you to the tailor as the next port is home." Kate was delighted to see all this.<br/><br/>It took another day for  Rhyas' fever to break. She prepared a bath and put all bedding and old clothes in a pile. The sailors made a container that was safe to burn them.<br/><br/>The next morning Kate placed the package on the bed. "You may open this. These belong to you and when we go ashore, we will explore the shops in town.  Once  she opened the door. "Come with me. You need some fresh air. Take what form you want. We are going topside a walk would do you good."
