Kate was not one to ignore the instincts of a fighter. He father was one and he too could sense the feeling of battle. He never voiced her concerns. Kate could tell battle was coming when guards were doubled, armor was polished and taken to the smiths. It was her father's demeanor that changed. He drank less or was up earlier and seemed more nervous. Kate did not know Mathis well enough to tell changes in his person or habit.<br/><br/>She twitched her ears and lowers her tail. "I am not a warrior. I only know there is bit of nervous energy in my father. I know a warrior has a feeling and it won't shake. Papa should be here anytime. I will tell the Captain to double the guard and speak to the men in the keep. If you feel this. Better to be prepared that be caught off guard. I feel better that you are with me. Mathis, what is it you feel, it a smell, something in the air or a physical feeling that allows a fighter to know when battle comes."
