Katherine swallowed uncomfortably at Lysander's suggestions of his ideal life. It certainly sounded a direct contradiction to Eward's roguish tendencies, and Katherine could not place why that disturbed her so. "And I do hope you find that, Lysander," she concluded gently, touching his hand.
Rising along with Lysander, Katherine blushed and rolled her eyes. "Well, sir, you've caught me. It seems I'm not the little girl I was with charm as my weapon. I know now that it is fine liquor that gets jobs done much faster." Pausing, she added softly, "Really, you were no trouble at all. I do appreciate the company, and goodness knows I have missed you." Katherine quieted for a moment before taking him in another embrace, her heart divided on what to think about Lysander and Eward but pleased nonetheless at his survival.
