She winked at him and grinned, "You know we can't be seen alone. I know we can be together traveling on the sleigh or on horses. It will be fun to teach Avelynn to skate. Is not not hard. It just practice and I will see she lands softly if she falls. I hope you skate as well as you dance." She opened the large doors, "Papa you want to see us again?" She closed the door behind her after Alister walked in.<br/><br/>Lyons was mulling over papers, "I had to understand the situation better. How is our guest. I know she your friend Kate. What is her name?"<br/><br/>Kate sat down on the soft by the fireplace. "Her name is Avelynn. I introduced Alister to her. She is settled in and should be sleeping."<br/><br/>Lyons looked relieved, "Good, I see you two seem to be enjoying each other's company. Lad, you may join us for meals and enjoy Winterfest with Kate. It is late and you need to be in your quarters young knight. I am going to free you of most of your duties while Miss Avelynn is with us. You are to assigned to protect her and may you guard her well. I don't want any surprises. You are dismissed and be discrete in town. I don't want rumors about either of you."
