Kate could tell he was behaving like her father did when traveling. It was rare that anyone would attack her or her father in town. Then her father was away and it was good to be cautious. She was not going to hide in fear and she admired that Mathis was keep up the front. She was not going to change her habit. If trouble was to come..better to behave the prey to catch a predator. Kate hated to have a guardian. She felt her mage talents were enough to protect her. It was healing and not a battlemage that she chose. In the times she lived woman were not allowed to learn sword play. The mage did now how to use a sword and staff. She did not bring her staff on this trip into town.<br/><br/>Kate was watching her protector and did not rush to eat. She was able to see all who entered and those around her. This is why she liked to eat by the fireplace. No one in the inn could hide in the place. Kate was very much aware of those around her and it was only a few in the back that she did not know. The men at the table were talking and eating. They did not have any visible weapons. Kate waited for Heidi to return and she leans toward Mathis.. as the waitress blocked the men's view. "Look behind me to the left at the far wall. I am going to walkout stay and see if they follow me." The mage would prefer to have the men in a trap then for Mathis to fight all three himself.<br/><br/>Kate placed a few coins by her plate. She gathered her parcels and cloak and walked out..she look at Mathis disapproving. "Your going to stay and finish your meal. You drank too much."
