	"[color=598527]No worries Kosara, it's only midday. I am not going to overdue it.[/color]" Kathryn said confidently before a small hiccup came, and suddenly the whole world shifted perspective. Suddenly, her last glowing rune burnt out, and she went from a towering 8 feet tall, to a slightly less towering 7 foot tall. "[color=598527]Huh... Guess it just wears off on its own after a while.[/color]" She hadn't really stress tested her magic yet. Except maybe the night of the freeze, but she kept reapplying the magic as needed as the night went on. But this time she didn't have the need to keep reapplying it, nor did she use her other runes last time. Nor all at once last time. She's honestly surprised she didn't hit more head boards within the tap room. 

	Speaking of drinking! Kathryn filled a mug with some of the brandy that had been picked up, Pouring drinks for her guests as they requested it. "[color=598527]The treats you both brought look absolutely spectacular.[/color]" Kathryn said towards the Mosswaters with a gleeful smile as she grabbed a sausage and took a bit of a munching to it. "[color=598527]Holy shit these are good. I must humbly thank you both![/color]" Kathryn said a gleeful smile as she finished the meaty treat. "[color=598527]While BB and Kosara wrap up tea, let me see if we have any of those sweet treats left![/color]" Kathryn said rushing by to the kitchen to grab a couple of the cinimon rolls. There were not a ton left. Kathryn had been munching on these too. And these ones were just shy of getting stale. BUT! They were sweet and tasty! Rushing back in she set out a platter with the remaining bits on it. "[color=598527]Apologies they are not fresh, we've had a crazy morning following up on last night's events. So I was a little under prepared for today's meet and greet.[/color]" She said sheepishly. She was guessing they didn't see the note about having to cancel should they not be present. But alas, it seemed to be working out. 

	The bad dreams comment from Urmdrus got Kathryn's attention a bit. If only because Kathryn and Victoria were having odd dreams recently. "[color=598527]What sort of bad dreams do you get?[/color]" Kathryn figured if maybe it was just the deep slumber that can come with drinking. Kathryn's own genetics gave her a bit more resistance than most when it came to that sort of slumber, but spending her winter at a winery has absolutely pushed that limit. But if he was having comparable dreams to herself and Victoria maybe they could come to a common conclusion. Even if he is the one who likely helped build the secrete room in the basement, they were all on good terms with one another for the moment. 

	Lizbeth for her part was being an absolute champ when it came to her training, even taking Kathryn's joke with a bit of grace. "[color=598527] If the point of training is to get better at your skillset with a blade and maneuver it is definitely cutting yourself short. If the purpose is to figure out how to use your abilities in tandem with one another like I do with my runes then that would be another story entirely. And if you want to get into how to wield magic and blade as one, we can practice that. Though your sort of magic is far different than mine. So we would be trying to figure that out together quite a fair bit. Though I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little curious to see what tricks you could pull off.[/color]" Kathryn said like a giddy older sister wanting to see what their sibling could do in the right situations. 

	Kathryn listened to what Lizbeth said about the letters and notes. "[color=598527]Well, horses could be used for lots of things. I know a lot of knights will use multiple horses for multiple reasons. For long rides, for combat, some to carry their things that don't need to be on their person. If they are apart of a party they may need horses for wagons. And horses in this case could also mean logistics, assistance in passage, or anything else along those lines. But at the end of the day, it is hard to say for sure. Never been too good at riddles myself. My sister has always been better at that.[/color]" Kathryn said pondering the note. The tall knight did wince a little when Lizbeth filled a gem with her own blood. Sure, Kathryn was familiar with the sight of blood and gore and all that other mess. But a self inflicted wound, especially on someone she has begun to grow and care for? Hit so much harder than any wound she could dish out to others.
