"Milady is for those who do not know me. Horen I am closer to you than my brother or father. Please call me Kate or Katie. My friends do. If the circumstances different you would be serving my father now.  I am grateful for the time we had together. You are guarded with your trust. I respect that. Considering your past, I know that speaking among showing your feelings is hard, but not impossible. Anyone would be intimated by you. I do not fear you because I know you would not harm me. You have strong instincts of the wolf. Thank you for allowing me to tend to you. What would happen Horen at your master's house?  Would  you be left alone to lick your wounds and growl at you captors?<br/><br/>Kate handed him a wash cloth and poured herbal soap into her hands and wash Horan's massive hands that made Kate's hand seem small. Horen could have made a fist and crushed them. The mage was stronger than she appeared as it was easy to massage his hands. Claws had begun to replace nubs.
