	"[color=598527]Not only did I say it out loud, I said it in front of the whole noble family of the region. The knight who was training me, and several influential locals. Some maybe not so local. I worked hard to make myself unknown for a while after that. My only saving grace is that maybe some of those people thought it was my sister who said that. Shes a bit more out going than myself, and that crowd is more her own. SO! Its not too improbable.[/color]" Kathryn chuckled while she took Lizbeth to keep exploring. Alas, the task of investigating was not the half giant's strong suit.

	Kathryn found the story of the tinker boy rather interesting. She guessed the tinker profession made sense, but it was rather new to Kathryn. At least the version that Lizbeth was describing. "[color=598527]I mean, I guess we had some in Arcanaple. But I guessed they worked different back home. Many lords had a Mason on hand in some form. A skilled laborer and their apprentices. And generally a country may have a couple as well. More isolated regions would have the bulk of the populace work on their products themselves to try and keep them going, or have to reply on trade. Much of Arcanaple is mountainous, so travel through much of the year is a risky challenge. That ignores the weather, bandits, goblins, and if stories are to believed dragons![/color]" Kathryn said with dramatic excitement. "[color=598527]Though my parents say the last dragon of Arcanaple died centuries ago. My uncle said he saw one once though one of the times he went off to war. Though I learned he embellished a lot of his stories over the years.[/color]" And left out the ugly parts. The really, gods awful ugly parts. "[color=598527]Still, a lot of people didn't  travel unless it was in large groups. Though travel was easier along rivers, or if you were staying within your own valley or on the coast, a lot of towns and regions traveling in groups less than a few dozen was a good way to not get to your destination.[/color]" Sure, there were exceptions, but those exceptions were there own story. 

	Passing down towards the Docks, Kathryn did take note of the lady of the house watching them as they crossed the back courtyard. Kathryn gave a smile and a polite wave before they were out of sight. Unfortunately, not much was seen on the way to the docks, at the docks, or on the way back up towards the Gazebo. Though she had hoped to see a large cap stone hidden within the stoneworks, she should have known better. There was not much room for much else once the storage below them was accounted for. "[color=598527]I imagine this isn't doing a ton for making my ability to investigate look impressive huh?[/color]" Kathryn joked. 

	"[color=598527]You know, when we get the time we should practice on you learning how to use your magic in synergy with your martial skills. I know you said you wanted them to be their own independent ability, but if you have a skill set over someone who wants to cause you harm, or a tool and asset that gives you an edge over your enemies, you should know how to use it to its fullest potential.[/color]" Kathryn tried to offer up optimistically.
