Kate felt him tense a bit as they talked about magic. She did not want to cause argument it was unnecessary to test his ability in his current state. "A bath, would be good for you. Sit up slowly and take your time. I will help you to the washroom. It is just across the room. I will go run the water for you. You want more food, tea or cider before I go run the water for you?"<br/><br/>Kate removed the tray of food and set it on the dresser. She walked over to him and helped him to sit up over the edge of the bed. She held his legs and very slowly swung them over the edge of the bed. The mage stayed by her charge for a moment to make sure he did not feel woozy. Once he was sitting up Kate placed her hand on his shoulder for stability. She did not rush him and knew this would be very painful for him.<br/><br/>"We both know that protocols have to be broken when situations arise. I am going to remove your night shirt and once in the tub will give you a wash cloth to cover your privates. I will help you bath and wash your hair. I am sure you are used to having some privacy or were you tended to by other slaves when wounded?"
