A winkle hapend, she will be prestent fromal soon. 15035

Beth said. “It will work out how it does, just now that everyone makes mistakes. Don’t be to hard on yourself. Like you said you are nit that person now. It is also the case you would not be the person you are had you not taking the road you did. Even if it started with a bad decision. Now we had best get these put away before the rest get here. When Dale is in the way just tell him. He can forgot the world when he is looking at books and he will be making a pest of himself. You need to come check out his collection as well. Only fare, but he won’t think to ask you.” Kat smiled. “Not to worry, I will be doing that before long. I am sure there are going to be a lot of swapping going on.” She nodded and entered her apartment as did Kat. Kat had found the picture of the buffalo by the time Livi was at her door. She opened it smiling. “Come on in, do you mind taking it into the kitchen?” Livie said. “No problem, long as you show me where it is. Mom would hate this place. Just how much of the carving is your doing?” She looked at him. “Robbie said you were to blame for the halls. Stands to reason you had a hand in the way they fished your apartment. Never did understand how the two of manged to talk your way in here when they were building it.” Kat smiled a bit as she led them to the kitchen. “We were just vague about what Reed we were working for that year. We were guards for the construction, and would just happen to come a bit early now and then. After all we had to know what our apartments looked like. I made a few suggestion but most were ignored. I am responsible for the cupboards and the horns, but that is all. Just sat them on the table then you can go look at the hangings. No need to be trying to sneak glances, there are there to be seen. However the vase on the side table needs to go. I am still unpacking and had just found the horrid thing when you knocked. I think I can find a closet that it will fit in. I have no idea how I needed up with it. It has to be something of Deer’s. Yet I don’t see her buying something that large.” The vase being three feet high and bright yellow, with green strips. I should never have let any of them see the shipping address. I am scared to look in the rest of the boxes at this point.” She shook her head. “That said, Livi this book is for you, the marked page is about the buffalo.” She haded him a book on southern animals. “It is light on details, but has good pictures. I was shocked at how different some were.” Seth said. “A deer bought a vase? Just how? I mean deer aren’t.” Kat laughed. “That did sound odd. Didn’t it? Deer is a person, one of my team. All Jursn get their names from living things, then pick a nick name based on those for everyday use. It is well known at home so I failed to realize how it would sound. Jursn in a School for solders and mages. Mine is Kat Wildstone. I should have given it to you both before. I need to remember that folks here don’t realize that my name is on my arm. Likely thing it is just some designer they never heard of, if they even see it.” She touched the leaping black cat on her shelve to show them what she meant. Seth shook his head. “Sorry, but I would never have taking it to be a hint of your name. Just thought it was a cool patch. The shield I thought was Military, and the sword usually means a knight. However the cat I didn’t get.” Livi said. “I wouldn’t have got it either. At least it isn’t that much of a change. I will let the others know, but it is going to take a bit for folks to remember. I went by the store before coming over. However John was in the office with them and given the look on his face I just left. Best not to interrupt one of their fights. All the same you should know they read each of your letters more than once. There were some they didn’t let us see, but they did say they received them. I tried to get them to give a letter to the bird, but they wouldn’t. For all even Aunt Healn and Uncle Roger use the birds now Mom still thinks they are not fit.” He shook his head a bit. “Most of us knew you were going to leave soon, but the way you did. Just why did that time push you that much?” Kat said. “I wasn’t sure how many of the letter reached them, of if they were looked at. I should have sent some to the rest, but writing one a month was hard enough. It wasn’t right, but I was hurting to, then when past the anger and pain there was to much that I couldn’t say. What I did was wrong, but I was to mad to think. We had been at odds for a long time, and well. I had just had enough that day. Not that there is anything that justifies what I did. I realized that in a few days, but I couldn’t go back, I couldn’t agree to the rules. Leaving had to happen, but I should have done it differently.” She shook her head a bit. “Best not to say anything about me unless they do. I think that is what the yelling you saw is a bout. I arrived yesterday, and went to Fred’s for supper.” Livi shook his head. “So you were taken to your table. No matter what you said. Then fist time he found time to leave John goes to the store and then gets mad that the folks aren’t rushing to welcome you.” Kat said. “And. Well. How good are they these days at looking surprised? If they read the letter three weeks ago. I did tell them that I would be enrolling in Scholars in the last two letters. I thought it best to try and give warning. One was sent with my boxes so I know they received it. I was promised it would be hand delivered to Father. I thought it best to be able to say I tried to let them know.” Levie shook his head. “I saw a man in a uniform give Father a letter and stand there waiting until he opened it and looked at it. I don’t know all that was said but it ended with the stranger call Dad a fool and storming out. There was a black Dragon wearing a crown on his sleeve, and a bunch of meddles on the chest. Looked more military than a captain. The last message was one we did not get to see. They did say you were fine and talking of traveling. That was it. Just what were they thinking? Did they truly think John wouldn’t know they knew? This is going to be a bad one. John is going to go to Robbie when he leaves the store. They might wait until tomorrow. However.” Kat said. “I am expecting them to track me down on campus tomorrow. Not knowing my finances they are not going to be sure where I am, but I did say I was enrolled and it is registration day. I just hope the yelling doesn’t get to bad. Yes, that would be the letter. Henry was likely trying to get him to send an answer, for all I told him there wouldn’t be a reply. I should have known better than to ask him to deliver it. He had to of known I was write my relatives, for all I didn’t say it. He had been trying to find out where my family was for years, upset that I never had any letters. No matter that I told him that I didn’t tell anyone where to write me, he would have pushed. I hope that the rough day doesn’t carry over.” Levie said. “Don’t worry I will see the rest know it was a rough day at the store. That way they won’t push.” He looked at Seth. “Just what are you looking alarmed by that building? It is a bit drab, but not as scary as the Castle. Are the hangings of places or just decoration?” Seth said. “This one is a place. One of Sheves sister schools. I saw the images of them when we visited Jordan. It was lost during the brake as it is one of them from Vista, or so the information on it said. They were know to be deadly and dedicated, mages and fighter in the old way.” Kat said. “That is Jursn, and yes we are tied by the same oaths as those of Sheves. The castle isn’t scary at all, but that image is a bit. Still none fear it, common or noble they will take their cases there if they feel it needed. I have never heard any complaints of the places being deaf to the needs, even when among the beggars. And my skills at blending have fooled my teachers so it is unlikely they made me for a spy.” They looked at her, she shrugged. “It was a class assignment, but yes I spent a month on the streets in one of the cities. There are time when it is needed to enter unseen. You know what task fall to the Royal guards here, we are the empires version of them.” Livie said. “So you did end up in the guard, for all you told them that wasn’t going to happen. I hope that I can tell Uncle Al, he is going to love being right, and Aunt Debbie will be yelling. Even though it isn’t ours, after all she told you that you could not put on that uniform. Don’t think it will matter that it is in fact a different one.” Kat said. “I am surprised at where life has taken me. This is not what I was planing on, but it is what I need.” She took out some coins and gave them to them. Livie shook his head. “No, you are both taking it. I will tip right after this, but I missed four years worth of gifts. Now you had best go or the folks will beat you home. You know where I live you can tell the others, my door is open. If they are not to come here, then they can find me on campus. John and Robbie will know my schedule soon, if Petter hasn’t already got it from the records.” Livie nodded. “This is to much sis. I don’t care what you say, you can’t go giving out cash like thins. I will tell them, but back to school season means it will be a few days before they start showing up. You won’t have to worry about any from out of town until next month, but they will all be here the fifteenth, so best be ready for questions.” Kat looked blank for a bit then paled. “John and Petter graduate this year? So. And they will. Thank you, I did need to know. I can bet that I am going to be expected to be there.” Just why wasn’t there a letter? I had best set a range a visit with Ambassador Graven tonight and find out. It could be I just left before he sent it. Still this could well mean that the formal appearance needs to arrange soon. It was going to be tricky regardless, but now. They were looking at her. “Seal, one of unit, is do back around the eleventh. I need to message him. He is going to love this. I had best check and see if I need him to pick me up a dress. I am not sure what of my court clothes I brought. I was hoping to stay out of most of it. He is gone to laugh. I told him to try to wait a week to send a bird and hear I am not even two days. Think I have any chance of talking my way out of going?” Livie laughed. “Not a chance. Can’t wait to see you in a dress, and remember there will be a week of events, including balls.” Kat groaned. “Now I know I have to writ him. I don’t have to look to know the closes thing to ball clothes I packed is my formal uniform. That is not going to do me a bit of good here. Still I can wait a few days. Nothing he can do until he can do about it in the the ocean but laugh. At least he will get something I can stand. Could be worse.” Seth looked at the vase and said. “Almost want to see it, but very glad I won’t.” Livie looked at him then the vase ans started laughing. Kat said. “She has worn a dress that shade of yellow. So yes, she would if given the chance. Luckily I can avoid that, but it will still be a bit bright and will glitter. Given where he is going there is no way to avoid glitter. If I can’t get out of going.” Livie smiled. “I can’t wait to her the complaints. It is going to be fun. See you soon.” Kat watched then leave then went and put things away, trying to remember if messages were ever sent by orb here. Might be best to just send a bird, for all that seemed worn when it was local. Yet an orb might cause alarm, and it wouldn’t to to just walk into the offices, even if the guards let her in it would be noticed. Why was everything so complicated? She went to the door intending to ask Beth how messages were sent locally, only to opened the door and laugh. “Now that is good timing, sir. I was just trying to remember if they used orbs here, as I wanted to see if you had time to meet.” Gaven said. “And here I am just drooping in without messaging first. Not thinking that you might expect to be messaged. It is silly how fast you get used to local customs. You need not message just come by, no one finds it of note. People are in out of all the ambassadors offices all the time. That said, messages orbs are not common but don’t cause alarm. Just few here send them.” Kat smiled. “Come on in, and I just wanted to call first as I expected that visitor needed to the offices needed appointments. I didn’t know if you had been told I expected to make in so wanted to let you know I had, now that am half way unpacked.” She led him into the living room. Once they were seated he said. “This looks fine, for all it has to seem a bit dark to you it is what most homes look like. I got a bird this morning tell me that you should have made it here yesterday and that you needed to be briefed as you left before my letter reached them. There is a coronation to take place on the fifteenth, there will be two weeks of events. So we need to get you presented before then.” Kat nodded. “That is just what I needed to tell you. I didn’t even think of them graduating this year. For all I knew Petter would be official crowned in his last year of school.” Graven said. “So far they are still fighting, but His Majesty letter said that there would be gifts sent. So I do think you will indeed be there as his ambassador. I know you were expecting to have more time to adjust. Don’t worry all that is changing is the time. Just how did you hear about it?” Kat said. “Livie told me that I didn’t need to worry about being confronted by my uncle until the fifteenth. There is no holiday there expect during coronation years. Seth is going to love this, He is do back around then and so with be with me for some of the events. It is going to be a mess. At least there is time.” They talked a bit longer getting each other cought up of the news that didn’t make the messages.
