The young mage student saw her tutor and her beauty caught her attention. Kate greeted the woman with a warm smile and a confident demi curtsy. She extended a sun kissed fair hand. As she touched the blue crystal glass pendent around her neck in the shape if an pentagram. This and her solid navy blue robe signified she was a mage-adept. Kate knew her assessment was not going to be like her classmate's. From the looks of the majestic woman, her mission was going to be special.<br/><br/>The student spoke in a soft-welcoming manor, "If you are looking for Lady Katherine, she is me. Please call me Kate or Katie. I save formalities for court."<br/><br/>Kate turned to the Bavarian lady. "Heidi, will you seat us at my regular table, please?"<br/><br/>"Yes of course, this way ladies."<br/><br/>Heidi led them to a square table for four, by the fireplace that was unlit, and placed in the center of the room. The dining room was lit with rod iron chandlers with candles and the floor to ceiling windows were covered with open blinds. The wooden square table had "House of Lyons" branded on the side.<br/><br/>The waitress waited for Kate and the lady to be seated and handed them menus.<br/><br/>"What  would you ladies like to drink?"<br/><br/>Kate grinned at Heidi and looked at her teacher, "I recommend the hot cider."
