Mathis smiled down at Kate a slight glimmer in his eyes. He reached down and gripped the skate so his hand started bleeding.<br/><br/>"Little fox that is your first mistake, always expect to fight then you will be ready for your enemies when they strike. If you are not ready for your enemies then you will bleed." Mathis pulled his hand away from the skate and sucked on the cut as he headed out of the cobblers following her towards the inn.<br/><br/>"Just some meat stew, bread, and a pint of mead." Mathis licked his cut again making sure the bleeding had stopped.
