Kate was very gentle as her hands made her way over Trey's body, cleaning every part of it carefully. She covered him in oils, washed his hair, his face, arms, even placing ice on his wrists. It felt good, and for the first time in a long time, he was feeling a moment of serenity. His shaking was gone, his mind was clear. It reminded him of the dreams being placed into his head overnight by Lady Kate. He wanted to kiss her, to bring her into the tub with him, he just wanted to be with her.<br/><br/>"Have you seen snow, Trey?" she asked him. It seems she had a million questions. He was feeling better, and ready to answer it.<br/><br/>"No I have not seen snow before, my lady kate," he explained, still finding it difficult to simply call her Kate. "I have heard of it from other lords and ladies, and I have served ice before, but that is all."<br/><br/>She then found the small opening in his collar, and she opened it slightly. The effects were immediate as she kissed his cheek and wrap her arms around him. All the touching, and the caressing, he couldn't help but get aroused by it all. He leaned into her, pressing the skin of his cheek onto her's. He realized how the gods have fortuned him to be a slave to a woman so kind, so perfect, and one he felt so drawn to. His body was so comfortable, the spirits taking over, his mind was half-asleep now.<br/><br/>Then came his back, and she woke him so he wouldn't be shocked by the pain. It was painful, but nothing he couldn't handle. He didn't whimper, or cry, he simply bit the cloth given to him as he thought only of Kate.<br/><br/>--------------<br/><br/>After a few days of healing he was feeling better, more full of energy. Kate had let Trey serve her a bit, helping her dress. This was the highlight of the day for him. He was able to get close to her, to be near her, and to serve her. It's what gave him happiness, which she insists on him being. He enjoyed being happy, even if it was foreign to him. With all the things to see and experience, he had broken down a couple of times, and Kate was always there to nurse him back. He felt he was improving in that respect, but slowly.<br/><br/>The captain gave him well wishes, and he responded in kind, "I am grateful for everything Captain. Thank you."<br/><br/>He walked onto the land and he saw snow for the first time. A new city bustled with life. Everything was white, snow even fell from the sky. It surprised and shocked Trey. His feet were also strange, having been so used to the waves and movement of the sea for so long now, he felt uneasy. He breathed out, trying to calm his mind and his heart. He started to breath harder.<span style="font-style: italic">No, calm yourself, don't get overwhelmed,</span>he thought to himself.<br/><br/>He was getting better, and his body calmed, his shakes going away. He looked at Kate and said, "yes, I'm ready to go." He noted how beautiful she looked in her dress and fur coat. She was quite stunning, especially today. She often tried to make herself look perfect, and he wondered if it was done on his behalf, or simply a routine of hers. He didn't care, because he simply enjoyed the view every day.
