He sees a young woman in dressed in a dark blue skirt, white blouse with a matching short jacket as her skirt. Her red hair is braided into a single stand that extends to her waist. She had a very worried expression and walks up to the cage. Her voice soft. He can tell she has fox ears. "Are you alive?"<br/><br/>Her hands waves over the locks..it slides open with a sqeek and it opens. Kate can see the male is chained. Bound by his hands and ankles. His clothes are thread bare, shredded and torn. He is covered in dried blood, sinew and rotten food. By the smell she coughs and swallow hard. "By the gods what did they do to you?"<br/><br/>Kate sees his eyes are blackened, his nose swollen, his lips cracked with dried blood, his right cheek a deep purple. His right leg was swollen and covered with lash wounds. His whole body was covered with lashes from looked to be whip and chain, some blunt object. She heard him wheeze as he breathed.<br/><br/>Kate could not believe her eyes. She knelt to him, "I am here to help. Don't even try to talk or move."<br/>She was afraid to even touch him. She spoke a few spell words and she cradled his hands. The chains opened. Kate slowly removed them. "I know you're in pain and cold." Kate closes her eyes and he feels heat from her hand flow into his, the heat slowly warms his cold hands.<br/><br/>Kate lets go of his left hand and place her hand on his chest. Bones that are broken slowly heal. The heat penetrates deep into his body. One he is able to breath easier, she waves of her hands the shackles on his ankles fall to the floor. Kate places her hand over his ankles and where the metal bit into his flesh ..it heals nearly immediately.
