"Wizardress this sound even more exciting. I am sure Papa can help you."<br/><br/>Kate waited for Heidi to leave and see when Mystique ate before taking a bite. When the ladies were half finished with their meal a man walked in. He was not massive, he carried his body that drew ones attention. He was dressed in brown pants with a thick smooth leather belt. His shirt was pure linen with a green brocade vest. His jacket was a solid green with goid eppelits, 7 large gold buttons were closed, over his jacket was a navy blue cloak with green embroidery trim. The collar of his cloak was lined in sable.<br/><br/>The man's eyes were amber and his hair was in a tight ponytail tied at the ends with a black silk ribbon.His face was lightly scared at the brows, cheeks, and chin. His hands were cover in black goatskin. His expression was relaxed upon seeing Kate and the beautiful woman with her.<br/><br/>His lordship walked with a slight limp that did not impeded his gait. He was greeted with "Hello mi'lord, your lordship, and a curtsy by Heidi.<br/>"You daughter is with a guest. Sir. This way, if you please."<br/><br/>Heidi brought him to the table and he removed his cloak and hung it in a hook by the fireplace. He greeted Kate and stepped to the lovely lady. He bowed to her. His baritone voice was soft and warm, "You must be Katherine's mentor for the Summer. I am Lord Gillian Lyons. Welcome to the shire."<br/><br/>Kate stifled a giggle. It had been a very long time since heard her father speak his first name. Kate knew father was leery of wizards and mages, though he married one. It was fun to see her fathers pupils widen as he laid eyes on her teacher. The mage hoped her father would remarry and her teacher did not wear a wedding ring. Lyons removed his ring years ago and kept it hidden.<br/><br/>The only time see seen her father bow to anyone was King Atrius. Kate cut her stack of three pancakes with a fork and with her right hand ate with the tines away from her mouth. She did not take he eyes off her father.
