Kate hugged him tightly and kissed his cheek. "You saved my life and it means the world to me. I know you are not used to be shown affection. This is what you are trained to do. I don't care who sees. Thank you very much." Kate wagged her tail and she looked at him. "You need a new shirt now. I know is trite. I want you to look nice. You are handsome Mathis. In time, I hope you will feel .... well just give you time to let your heart thaw a bit." Kate steps back from him and takes his arm. "The clothier is just down past the bakery toward the docks."<br/><br/>Once inside the Sneads clothing shop...she let him pick out a few shirts and had him dressed in flannel tunic and wool coat that was more military, without any insignia he looked above a peasant not quite a noble. Kate thought he would be very uncomfortable dressed as one of her father's footman or nobleman.<br/><br/>After they shopped she took him into a few shops for presents for the family and few of her friends. She took about 2 hours. She heard music and took Mathis to the musicians, performers and dancers that were there for Winterfest. "This is what makes this time of year so much fun. People come from all over the kingdom for the Festival. At night we have fireworks and lighting of the tree. I know your not completely healed. Let me know if you wish to leave and rest."
