Katherine sighed, "I suppose you're right... well, half right. Stefan is our immediate concern, but I'm not talking about just me. The longer we take the more damage this chaos can cause. The bandits running rampant, the power grabbing, the suffering, the death of the King, all that stuff. I know the militia is trying it's best, but they are a relatively small group. They can't keep this controlled by themselves like a ruler leading a country can. They don't have the manpower or the resources...The longer we take the worse it will get."

She looked back in the direction of Stefan's manor, then took Felix's hand and headed towards their next destination. Then remembered what she was wearing. "Oh...uh, would you mind if I changed real quick? I'd also like to burn the bloody thing as soon as possible. I would just leave it, but I don't think that's wise." She walked a bit away from Felix until she was behind some brush, practically ripping the dress off and put on her normal cleric robes. She rolled up the dress into a ball as best she could, and returned to Felix. "Much better. Let's go."

As they walked, Kathy frowned, "Speaking of...do you think my parents are safe at the farm? You don't think Stefan would try to harm them, do you?"
