Katherine picked up her doll before continuing along the path, taking the apple from the doll, smiling at the thing.  [color=green]"Bringing food to mother because of the trouble she went through? Thank you~."[/color]  She felt like a mother with these dolls.  She brought them (back) into this world with her own power, so she felt she needed to take a role as a mother.  She had annoyed someone, so she felt pleased with herself at the moment.  With pleasure of her conquest, she took a bite out of the apple.  Delicious as she had thought.  She was just sad the cat didn't get to eat her apple before her "master" stole it from her.  Property or not, she could think too. Sentient thinking.  Much like the dolls.  

Still, there were other people to worry about.  Like young girls riding horses.  Ones with a wholly unconfident quality to their voice.  Katherine could sense the nervousness from about two miles away, figuratively at least.

[color=coral]“Pardon! Would you happen to have a moment to speak?”[/color]  The young girl called out.  She was outfitted in some lighter looking armor, not what the typical guard wore at the least.  [color=coral]“Oh...terribly sorry. Where are our manners? Introductions are in order, no? This one is known as...uhm...Lucca. A pleasure.”[/color]  Not only did she just radiate nervousness, she looked it and sounded it as well.

[color=green]"Lucca?"[/color]  Katherine mumbled questioningly.  She had, of course, never heard that name before.  Then again, she could be someone wholly too important to the kingdom and Katherine'd never know it due to her years of study and work inside the Academy and hardly listening to news.  [color=green]"A pleasure, Lucca.  My name is Katherine Lindall. This is Number 13."[/color] She introduced both herself and the doll in her arms.  She was going to be a bit cautious around this girl. . . But she was no danger.  She looked like she lacked the experience she really should have for this journey. . . But that wasn't for Katherine to judge anyhow.  [color=green]"Did you need something girl?"[/color] She asked, almost friendly sounding.
