Katharine was confounded when her father stepped forward. She herself was thinking that one of them would just give her their hand in order to aid in her getting down. Her father though, took her up fully, lifting her up off the counter and away before letting her off. They were very near to each other in a position she wasn't used to. She didn't really want to get down, but nor did she wish to strain her father. Back on the floor she waited patiently for her father to get the things she needed while her brother excused himself to set the table. Measuring out the rice first then the water she put it on the stove to cook. She then let her hand slip back around her father's gently not noticing any new company they had. She did not turn when she responded to her brother's question. Her eyes were too fond of her father for now. Someone would have to pry the two of them apart in order to really get her attention. "Oh, no, I'm fine. I'll just have water." She said replying her brother even though he might have moved along by now seeing as it took her quite some time to answer. More often then not water was all she drank. Though she did like the occasional fruity drink.
