Lady Katherine remained by the fence  as both men took their break. The mage was accompanied by a young lady Kate's age. She wore a white satin and lace long dress and white cone shaped hat. "Kate isn't this exciting? Who is Jon jousting?"<br/><br/>Kate placed her hands on top of the fence, "I know not his name. I have seen the knight a few times in the back fields between the lake and pasture.  I rarely see either of them in town. Papa sends them plenty of help during harvest. They had a good crop the last three years. His mother took ill and refused to see a mage healer. I am sorry she died. I know what like to loose you mother. I see Johh had your favor, Samatha. I wish he would marry you. Sam it would be nice having my best friend as a sister."<br/><br/>Samantha paced her left foot up on the rail, "Who favor is on the farmer's son lance? It looks like yours, Katie."<br/><br/>Kate sh added her eyes with her hand, "It is mine. Life has been impossible hearing Johh boast his winning for years in a row. I am sick of it. I hope this man knocks Johh off his horse."<br/><br/>Samantha gasped then exclaimed flailing her hands in the air, "Kate Lyons, you can't be serious! That is you brother out there. You want him to loose? How utterly unlike you. You should be ashamed."<br/><br/>Kate stuck out her tongue. "I do hope the farmer's son wins. Johh deserves to be unseated."<br/><br/>Jonathan walked to the girls. "Wish me luck, Ladies. Kate isn't that you faver that Sir William carries on his lance?"<br/><br/>Samatha looked at Katherine awaiting her answer.<br/><br/>Kate half smiled, "Why. Yes. Yes it is. I have my reasons. After all you are my brother. I wish you not to get hurt."<br/><br/>Johnathan shrugged and then held and kissed the back Samatha's hand. "You honor me with your presents. I will win for you, not my sister."<br/><br/>Sir Jonathan walked nosily as his armor clanked with each step toward his steed. Holding the reins was Jon's well dressed squire.
