Next morning:<br/><br/>Kate is next to him in the form of a pure fox. Her tail is over his stomach protectively. Her head is on his chest. Ann walks in with tray of food ...she has tea, eggs, pancakes, muffins, sausage and ham. The warrior lay sprawled, deeply asleep, one hand resting on the fox beside him. When the door opens, he wakes with a start, instantly alert. His eyes roll to the door in alarm, the he relaxes at the sight of Ann. Not wanting to wake Kate, he smiles and nods a greeting.<br/><br/>Ann smiles at him and places the food on the dresser. "May I help you sit up?"<br/>Glancing at the still slumbering fox, he shakes his head and smiles. His voice is a bare whisper when he response, "No... let her sleep."<br/><br/>Ann looks at the fox and whispers, "I will leave this by you. Katie has barely left your side. I tell you this, never has the given anyone such care and devotion. You might special to her Dear. Been men for years trying to court her. She turn them down everyone."<br/>Ann hands him a mug of tea, "Sugar and cream dear?"She looks at his face, "Ya got color in ya cheeks. Good sign indeed. Today ya may feel like takin' a bath?"<br/><br/>He took the offered tea, then considered her question. After a moment, he nodded, "Sugar would be great." He didn't realize he'd blushed at her next questions, looking up at the ceiling to avoid her eyes, "A bath actually sounds quite nice, to be honest..." he still felt awkward making requests of this nature.<br/><br/>Ann replies, "Is good you tell your wants. Life is filled with choices. We take baby steps before we run." She add sugar and hands him the mug. "How you feel today?"Ann walks over by him and feel his forehead with the back of her hand.<br/><br/>He took in a deep breath, taking inventory of his injuries, and found that he felt markedly better. Looking up at her, he smiled, "I feel much better today than I did yesterday, thank you."<br/><br/>Ann: "Good perhaps you can try to sip up after all GM Allen is a powerful wizard."<br/><br/>Kate speaks sleepily, "Mage Ann. Wizards are different."<br/><br/>Ann pets her, "They all use magic Katie." Kate yawns, "Yess.  We do."<br/><br/>She looks up at the young man, "Good morning Trill."She nuzzles his neck and licks his cheek.<br/><br/>He simply watches the exchange between the two, smiling. When she nuzzles him, he nods, "Good morning, milady."<br/>((i will never understand how animals can talk... :P ))<br/>(magic .lol magic)<br/><br/>Kate stirs a bit and sniff the food.. "Pancakes my favorite."<br/><br/>He sees a light aura around Kate and she is a human with fox ears and tail next to him. He chuckles, watching her rise, and sips his tea. His gaze travels to the food and he finds he is unable to resist a hungry sniff of his own.<br/><br/>Kate sets the tray between her and Trillen.. She hands him a sausage.."Blueberries.. hmm."She butters the cakes and adds maple syrup. Taking the sausage, he bites into it, savoring the flavor, then sips more tea. "Thank you, milady."Kate takes a bite of pancake and her eye roll.."Ann, you are the best cook ever."<br/><br/>Ann laughs, "I will go prepare for the family. I will check on you later."She kisses the young warrior on the cheek, "Good to you better now"<br/><br/>He experimentally squirms against the bedding just a bit, testing to see how much pain the motion will produce, and nods when he finds the pain is bearable. Rising up onto one elbow, he props himself there and watches her eat as he sips his tea.<br/><br/>Ann pats his arm, "Give it a few more days. You will be walking and part of the fixture here in no time."Ann takes 3 leaves dipped in candied roots. "They help settle the stomach before you eat."She hands them to Trillen. "I will be back in a bit."<br/><br/>Taking the roots, he nods and smiles, speaking a quiet, hesitant, "Thank you, Milady." before eating the leaves as he did the night before. Finishing off the tea, he pulls himself upright. though the motion brings quite a rush of pain, he maintains the upright posture and leans back against the pillows.<br/><br/>Kate looks up and see the pain on his face. "Where does it hurt the most?"
