	Breakfast with BB had worked out rather well. BB had agreed to take in Kathryn's letter, which Kathryn may or may not get a reply too. Kathryn enjoyed a good hardy homemade breakfast. And, she got to have a less than fun chat about her dreams... "[color=598527]I wish i had some more positive information to share. But it was mostly... unsettling again. Lots of dead... and undead. A slave collection of some kind but... it was hard to make sense of it. What throws me off... is the knight, the one I am seeing things through... They seemed as unwilling in the events unfolding as I did. I don't know if that was me just projecting or if there is more going on with this character I need to process. From what I understand, the knight I dream as was put in this position because of failing a task previously. I don't know if the price was the one who gave the previous task, or if failing the task gave the prince control over the knight. But it does not come across as a willing relationship.[/color]" Kathryn said grimly as she did her best to explain her dreams. Dreams were always hard to explain. So.. Vivid. Yet so unreal. A part of Kathryn couldn't tell if she was more scared of the idea that these events had already happened, or that these may be forewarning to events to be. All she could confirm was that the events were close... She was not pleased with the situation involving the rules being broken. But she had no means to enforce those rules. And... No one as hurt. But to hear that Victoria was the one who broke the rules first? Sometimes she swore that Victoria was a more entitled noble woman than herself sometimes! Then again, Kathryn fit the classic noble woman rather poorly. And, she couldn't stay mad at Victoria. The lass was rather charming herself. "[color=598527]Well, be safe on the road. Use the sending stone if you need help. I'll catch a ride into town if need be. And see if you can figure out through Victoria if you can get the specifics of the deal that Grandfather L'Rose made. Or any more sites of interest that we could investigate if you have spare questions.[/color]" Kathryn offered up with a shrug.

	Training was far less depressing thankfully. Lizbeth's skill with a blade and whip were rather impressive. Kathryn still had to watch her own pacing to make sure she didn't accidentally put Lizbeth into a coma... But unlike the early days of training where Kathryn could be seen practically toying with Lizbeth as she effortlessly blocked her blows, and would disarm her just for taking a misstep from time to time, Kathryn had to take deliberate efforts to not cause real harm to Lizbeth. Though Kathryn still won their training matches, Kathryn did have to take them seriously now. She hoped that Lizbeth wouldn't ask her how to shoot a bow. Kathryn knew how, but she wasn't particularly skilled with it. Maybe she could show Lizbeth how to throw knives or something? A part of her wanted to work on Lizbeth to integrate her martial abilities with her magical abilities. Not only because if push came to shove, and if someone wanted to hurt Lizbeth, they wouldn't hold back and she would need every tool at her disposal, but because Kathryn wanted to work on her own skills in that regard too. But, Lizbeth made it clear that she didn't want to focus on her skills in that matter. Kathryn may bring it up in the future though. 

	Today's investigations were not on the best start either. She took Lizbeth to explore the lower fields, and did not find much. After some time there, she decided to return to the old storage room that had been found before. Now that the magic buildup had worn down that should be far less a threat. And maybe, they could even find this capstone. Maybe there was more to this structure that could be unearthed. "[color=598527]Lizbeth, without breaking some serious ethics, a lot of our leads are not giving us result. But we got results here. We need to get inside.[/color]" She said solemnly. She didn't want to go around destroying this poor girl's home. But the longer things went on, the worse they could get. Though her fill in squire had concerns, she did not go to stop her from this. It did not take much force to leverage off the lock, nor lift away the barricade that sealed the doorway. Donning her helm, Kathryn stepped inside, hammer drawn, glowing softly in the dim light. Shield in her other hand, she wanted to be prepared if any of the dead had decided to wake up since they had been present. But... it was eerily quiet. 

	With Lizbeth's help, the duo began to search the room. Though Kathryn was looking for that capstone specifically, so far she had no luck. The place not only seemed unchanged, nothing seemed out of place either. Kathryn had felt like she had unlearned things with how little she learned while entering. "[color=598527]Well, this is a shame. It may be best to move onto another location to check out.[/color]" A part of her wondered if the best thing to have done would have been following the others into town. She was far from the best investigator. Though she is smarter than many, most of her strengths were tied to... well her strength. Physically. "[color=598527]Don't suppose you have some ideas on where that capstone could be?[/color]" Kosara found this place on accident. On Accident?! Surely Kathryn could use her skills for more than property damage?!
