He took a moment to admire her face as she spoke then gathered his gloves and cloak. Kate finished off her last bite and donned on her winter cloak and knitted royal blue hat.<br/><br/>Lyons helped Mystique with her winter garb. "May I escort you Wizardress Mystique to your ship?"<br/><br/>He strolled to the door and opened the door for the Kate and Mystique.<br/><br/>Once outside Lyons offered his arm. He usually carried a sword but this morning he wanted to appear more as a country gentleman than soldier. Besides he had soldiers posted about town. He always was silently shadowed by hand-picked bodyguards. Not that he needed one, Kate and guests were always protected.<br/><br/>"My carriage or yours Wizardress?"<br/><br/>Parked in front of the tavern was a black coach that was guided in gold. Green formal, four uniformed men were standing around the carriage laughing. They stopped laughing if on que seeing his lordship and took their positions. Two sat in the driver's seat; one beside the carriage door; and two took their place by the trunk in back.
