Kate giggles a moment, "Heidi finds you attractive. She would not mate you. It is rare she sees me with a male companion. I am rather difficult to court. I will not be a trophy for any man. I know the land will go to Johh. I am the daughter of a lord and refuse to be chattel. I want to choose my own mate and am glad my father is not of noble blood."<br/><br/>Kate sees Heidi return with mugs of steaming cider." I know your starving. You may have anything want." Heid looks at Alax, "What would you like, steak, chicken, fish, chicken soup, or dumplings?"
