Kathryn knew how good she was at taking care of a home though, outside of the most basic cooking skills, Kathryn was so useless she would slow things down far more than helping. Most of her childhood had been spent learning how to be lady like with a side of her uncle teaching her how to swing a sword. And her teenage years spent learning how to fight for herself. When Lizbeth left to prepare their sleeping quarters Kathryn returned her attention to the party as Kosara made dessert, and BB and Victoria talked on Lizbeth and their mission. "[color=598527]Some kids are just strange. You should have seen the look on my betrothal's face when he realized he was about to get hitched to me instead of my sister. He looked so defeated.[/color]" Kathryn joked trying to draw what attention she could from Lizbeth. Her chuckles and smiles were strained though, apart of her wanted to come clean about what she had learned of Lizbeth. But she also wasn't too sure on how the party would react given what they had gone through. She wasn't even sure how Lizbeth would react if she knew. That is what she should have asked Cecily. If Lizbeth knew. The new magic items seemed rather interesting. "[color=598527]Amulet of the drunkard? I don't think anyone here could really be called a drunkard?[/color]" Kathryn said finding the whole idea of a magic item that turned an alcoholic into the healthiest person in the room. Right before taking a sip of the totally not cursed brandy. As for the wand... "[color=598527]So is it like the spell you cast on my hammer when we took it from the constable? Or is it like the opposite effect you mentioned when we discovered the hidden brewery? And if that is the case, do we wanna go back there and try the wand there? See if we can learn anything new?[/color]" Victoria did bring up a good point on maybe seeing if these belonged to the lady of the estate. Though, one was acting as Kathryn's squire, and the other was a suspect to Kathryn. BB did bring up a point that the amulet would be useful for someone who had to try and sample a lot throughout the day. "[color=598527]Or it could be useful for someone who gets hurt more often then they would want to admit to others. And needs a reliable way to recover without drawing too much attention.[/color]" The store room again though... "[color=598527]So that makes our two hot spots the store room in the woods, and the basement study. Either way, we have our starting points. Another look at the store room could hopefully bring us some information.[/color]" When dessert came Kathryn was more than a little excited. Finishing her cup of brandy she set it down, looked over the flat bread like treats, grabbed a jar of jam, placed a couple on a plate, and poured enough jam on it to make a small child go "Isn't that a bit much?" Before taking a fork and attempting to cram as much of one of the flat breads into her mouth as she could. "[color=598527]These are so good Kosara! Thank you so much![/color]" Kathryn said as her mood already began to improve. "[color=598527]These are so wonderful![/color]" Finally, some good fucking news. "[color=598527]I am going to make my way to bed, I do hope the rest of you sleep well, but after the chaos of tonight, I can hear the sheets calling to me.[/color]" Kathryn said tired out. Finishing up her flat bread, scraping all the leftover jam off her plate, and setting it aside to be cleaned in the morning. "[color=598527]However we want to distribute the magic items or deal with them I am all for. Though it may be a good idea to hold off telling Cecily until we know a little more of whats going on around here. I doubt she would like the fact we've already broken into the study.[/color]" Kathryn joked before heading outside, a new bottle of wine in her hand. Seeing Lizbeth outside, Kathryn saw a girl who looked... no. She couldn't make that comparison. Not after what she learned. But she didn't look okay. "[color=598527]Hey Lizbeth, are you doing okay? Its freezing out here.[/color]" Kathryn tried to say in an optimistic manner. She didn't look okay. Though she said she was, in that monotone way that someone would if they didn't want others to know if they weren't, or in the way where they stopped caring if they were or not. The smiles seemed more for Kathryn's sake than her own. "[color=598527]You know, we're probably all gonna be getting up at different hours for when we get into all of our tasks tomorrow. Since you and I will be working together tomorrow, and I wouldn't mind getting in a short training session before we start, want me to move your bed to my room? Its a bit less crowded? And then we can get moving as soon as we are both ready to take on the world![/color]" Kathryn said loudly, confidently, and with as much enthusiasm as she could muster. This.. also served another purpose too buy herself time while she decided if the party should know about Lizbeth's condition. With a confirmation from her small squire with a level of determination that made Kathryn a bit proud, Kathryn went to the room Lizbeth tended to share with Victoria and Kosara, picked up one of the beds, and carried it to her own room, placing it by the fire. Changing into her sleep wear and a coat, she rushed back out to Lizbeth. "[color=598527]Come on dude, let's get to be before it gets any colder. You've worked hard enough today.[/color]" Kathryn said returning to her room, and climbing into bed. And... was the bed heated? Did Lizbeth warm her bed?! Holy shite... she really did go the extra mile.
