One eye on the sky

Today was not too bad and she was happy to know that things were doing alright. Knowing the outcome of this. The villagers and Marcus showing such kindness made her smile. All she did was relax and rest for now. Later on or tomorrow will be even better for her. She might be able to walk better by herself till then but she will need help later on. She already lets out a sigh and shuts her eyes smiling.

Even Marcus was feeling the same way, seeing that Kat was alright now just made his heart flutter. It's weird to say for him but he didn't care. Even Lewis noticed when asking how she was but it seems things will get back to normal sooner than they think. While he was working on new projects for everyone and just doing his best to work on it.

"Seems like you are more happier than normal master Marcus. I guess things with Katherine went alright for now? Knowing the possible outcome for later on." he saw Marcus look to him still feeling relaxed but he was wondering on what he should do with her tomorrow. Kat was going to be fine but she still needs help moving around.

"I'm sure she will still need most of the help as possible but that shouldn't stop me either way. She's just getting used to many things thanks to it because of that. I want Kat to be as well as possible even if it's showing me helping her." he looks down to start checking the journal of dragons he spotted and studies later on.

"And you tell me this either way. That shows you really care about Katherine. It's rather....kindhearted." Lewis drinks some tea that was given to him by Rosie. She was also there with them while reading another book she was using for notes on any other types of dragons too.

"Well of course. She cares about me and I do for her. We gotten along quickly and it makes me known she's healthy and happy again." he looks down smiling again thinking about Kat that she was probably sleeping right now. "Knowing her health will recover at it's best tells me things will be alright."

Lewis and Rosie looks to him thinking about how he really feels that it leaves them asking questions about it. He really cares for Kat that it makes them really happy for them. After a while, they just go ahead with relaxing and eating some small snacks they had but Marcus was thinking about Katherine and hopes she was doing alright for now. It did get late later on that he and Lewis says good bye to Rosie that was heading home. She wishes them a good night sleep and will see them the next day.

Later that night, Marcus was still writing some info in the book he created to see some notes added from the recent dragon that injured Katherine. He didn't know what type this one was but he could plan another name of what it was for future reference. Maybe in the future, more will show up. He will get the feeling of more dragons showing up but who knows what other different kinds are out there? He lets out a light yawn before going to bed himself for another day ahead of him.

In the early morning, everyone in the village was fast asleep with the moon setting now with the morning sun coming up in the horizon. Not many would be awake during this moment because of the few days back. Katherine was sleeping peacefully in her own home that she was already curled up against the pillow thanks to it. Knowing the soothing feeling and energy flowing around the village.

She did wake up a few times or really twice because of the energy that she had one eye open in a sleepy way sensing lighter energy. She only yawns softly that she shuts her eye again and goes right back to sleep for a little longer. Her father was still sleeping but he would be getting up in a bit to help with some early morning tasks for a couple people.

The hours kept passing a little longer that it was showing the sun coming up a little. A few morning people were already up now but most of he village still remains sleeping. They were gathering up their things for the morning market to sell. They were already ready to go and even being nice to leave some offerings for Katherine to show their warm 'welcome back' to her. She as the rest were still sleeping right now so they just hope for the best of her road to recovery.

Kat's father was still working on some notes this morning that he drinks some of the hot tea a helping gave him. Always had the best tea in the village. He knew his daughter can do the same but that's for when or if she gets married to someone. Just like him when his wife offers her own tea. They always had a cup during the noon time. Even in the morning was just as fine like Nighttime as well.

As soon as he was done with everything, he already pours a hot cup of tea and holds it in his hands. This morning was just perfect and it leaves him curious of his daughter and the warrior she seems to favor. Marcus seems like a sweet gentlemen and he wouldn't want anything but happiness for his daughter. He wonders what they will do but it could be him helping her for the day. For now, they were still sleeping he guesses till the sun rose a bit higher in the sky.

The morning came after a few hours, close to four, that everyone was awake and walking about the morning from the market. Everyone had something for sale or for purchase that they only remain silent speaking to new traders along the way. Marcus was already in Katherine's home where he was helping her try to talk. A few times she's slipped and fell on the ground. Other times shows her still remaining excited trying to do something to help her body gain strength.

He was helping her walk slowly to the table in the living room from the kitchen table. She wobbles a little but Marcus kept his hold on her so she wouldn't fall and felt protected thanks to it. "Easy dose it Kat. Baby steps okay?" he said holding her hands as she was walking forward with him slowly.

"Marcus, I told you I can walk but you don't have to do this you know..I don't wish to worry you." she keeps walking slowly holding his hands that she feels him keeping a gentle hold on them.

"I know you can but practicing again helps even better Katherine. Trust me; when feeling something like that hit your body that can do a lot...." he explains this due to going through the same thing himself. Marcus got hurt after a while or months back to the point of him not able to walk. So, with help he was able to thanks to it.

"..A..are you sure?......You went through that too?"

"Yes; during my travels through the whispering smoke gallows. It was not a safe place but I was able to get to my location before anything else happened.."

"I never expected you to go through such a thing, sir Marcus. Knowing the outcomes of the monsters and people out there can be a bit of everything hitting you at once. I believe it's something else right or am I wrong about that?" she wonders about this thought which leads to another process of ideals going through her head.

"Well, I'm just saying so in case you need or wish to know. Besides, you don't want to go through this all the time right? It's better to get your legs in working fit so you can do it yourself again. Trust me; you can." he smiled at her that Katherine blinks to blush slightly. He really believes in her that much to make her feel like he really believes in her.

He has kept by Katherine's side as he keeps guiding her in her walk, making sure she wouldn't fall or trip over anything. He wanted to be sure everything was alright for now. Kat was alright thanks to him but this was telling her he wishes to keep her safe. To help her either way that nothing will slow her progress. She and him were even giving glances at one another that leaves her thinking what goes on in his mind.

A warrior to no end leaving her speechless and lost herself. She only shook the thought out of her head and still kept holding on for a few more hours. He stops the walking exercises hours later with her sitting down looking tired. She had some ice on her legs but it's a first step in helping her with walking again.

"You did good dear Katherine. You walked for a good while and with out many breaks. I know you wish to get better but again baby steps."

"Yes I know and I'll do my best to keep that in my thoughts. You really are a good teacher Marcus.." her eyes looks over to the flushed warrior that he rubs the back of his head smiling.

"Happy to be of some help.."

She had the guess Marcus did this because he wanted Katherine to be careful and healthy through all this again. From the accident, he wasn't taking any chances of her getting hurt again. So, he figures helping is the best answer for now. She kept talking baby steps forward in her walking that Marcus kept holding her hands to reassure her.

This was kept up for a few more hours, that's when Marcus stops to help her relax after some time. Katherine has walked for a couple more that he was only looking more proud of her. She's really was something else. "I think I need a rest, Marcus. I've walked a lot today and it's not even the afternoon right now. Morning I believe still?"

"It still is but will be noon later on but you should be proud my dear Kat. You done so much it's amazing. However, don't over do it alright?"

She nods looking to him and later on, he was pouring some hot tea for Katherine after she was giving some lunch too. He was treating her fair to enjoy her company. It only makes her feel relaxed after some time that she was drinking some of the tea in her cup. This makes her smile relaxed that Marcus smiled seeing her relaxed as well. It was rather adorable and left her feel more happier thanks to it.

"How are you enjoying the food and tea? Good I hope?" he asked holding the tea pot.

"Yeah, I do. Thank you very much Marcus.."

They spent most of the time talking and chatting about somethings. Learning a little more about Katherine that she was known for being a teacher in the past but with how dragons took over, she just helps who she can. Her father has taught her some other things but she didn't want to freak him out even if he asked.

She learned a little more about Marcus herself but she wasn't expecting him to tell her so much. Maybe he trusts her a little more than she thought which was nice. She already gave her word to being silent during that time or for a while. They were just relaxing in her room while enjoying the tea he brewed for them. AFter a while, it became the afternoon while seeing a few people walking by her home giving a wave of hi.

"You know you didn't have to stay here with me all that morning to now Marcus. I know I'm going to be recovering for a while but..." she started to say but sees him shaking his head smiling.

"I don't mind staying here with you for a long while because I enjoy seeing you happy and giving you company. Everyone deserves someone to be there with them in case. But if they want to be alone, that's fine too.." he said in a short answer while watching Katherine smile happily hearing that. She enjoyed his company and loved having him staying here during that morning. He figures she wanted someone to be here but that's what he can be in due time.

"Either way; thank you for staying here with me Marcus..It's really sweet of you...."

"You're welcome, Kat."

Either way both her and Marcus enjoyed the night together that they were drinking tea and eating more snacks and lunch. They really seem to have a good night during that time before looking more excited about this. however the afternoon went by that she sees how much time flies for her. "Oh dear, look at how much the time has gone. Seems you been here longer than I figure you would. I hope I didn't make you waste time here today.."

"Ah, no no it's fine Katherine remember? I don't mind. Besides, I know you had a good time so I didn't mind." he said that she was looking to Marcus as he was rubbing the back of his head smiling. She smiles back laughing happily.

"You are way too nice Marcus but again; thanks for spending time with me.." she smiled before seeing Marcus get up and started to head out of her home. He looks back at her to give a final wave good bye then leaves her home. She smiled waving before he did leaf then goes to drinking her tea again.

He felt happiness in his heart being able to help Katherine today, seeing her smile just made him more happy. Marcus goes on heading home that he sees many others already talking and enjoying their own. He even sees Lewis speaking with Rosie again as she was laughing at something he said finding it funny that he was rubbing the back of his head blushing. She really was something else but he only remains silent till they saw him.

"Hey Marcus!!"

"*Waves*"

"Seems you came back after a bit. Did you go somewhere?" Lewis asked to see Marcus nod and explain he was helping Katherine out while spending time with her. "....so you been spending and helping her during that morning? Seems you really are really showing some care towards the leader's daughter.." Lewis teases that Marcus glares at him.

"So what? I wanted to help her during that time and spend time with her. I didn't want her to feel looking sad.." he thinks about it after a while he was looking down after a while. Maybe this makes it more challenging after a while.

"Awwww, it's so cute seeing you caring for miss Katherine. No wonder she seems more happier with you Marcus.." she said clapping her hands that Marcus blinks blushing heavily to look away.

"As I said; I wanted to be sure she was happy and taken care of. Katherine would do that for others since her heart is very pure an good so why not?" he kept feeling the heat showing in his face that Rosie and Lewis looks to one another then away thinking it was still pretty cute.

"Weird but not complaining I guess....either way, that just leaves him wondering about it. Guess that also means you got another wanting to like you as much as possible...." he grumbles with arms crossed over his chest.

"Hey, you don't have to make it sound like it's a bad thing you know. It's not my fault.."

"It's not! I find it precious and cute. Either way, were you helping Katherine for the day or you were done?"

"In a way yes; I'm giving her time to rest but I will be checking on her later on this afternoon just to be sure if she needs anything else. Can't be too risky if she needs something very important."

"Ohhhh how precious!! You really do wish for miss Kat to feel better! That is way too cute!!" she cheered looking to him but Marcus looks away still feeling flushed after a while. He was just making it harder to do anything and he was feeling more happier because of it. He did want Kat to be alright even if he wishes to help take care of her to his best ability.

Lewis finds it odd to hear her speak like that but for now, he wouldn't really respond towards that and moves on. He figures he will spend time with Rosie as she was seeing him holding her near by as she was crossing her arms over her chest. Either way, they had things to do since Marcus had to do some things after a while. They were apart for the time being while doing their own thing. As for Marcus, he was busy with heading home to work on some upgrading on his weapons and hoping to learn something new over time with some books he got from the library. Maybe in the future he will find something more interesting to use or work on.

"Lets see if I can find anything else in this book. Maybe I can show this to Kat and she could know something for me later on...that or me figuring something else.." He wanted to try something and this leaves him guessing about it later on. Things in the book seem old but Marcus wanted to learn about them.

He begins reading and studying about it and wonders more on the book. The studying took most of the day but he did take a break when checking on Kat who was just fine. She was given food and hot tea for later before heading home.

Kat was curious to what he was doing right now but she did offer for him to stay instead of leaving his home over and over. He didn't mind but he didn't want to be a bother while heading on home. She only waves bye and smiled, seeing Marcus leaving for home with the book. However, she was looking silent when eyeing the book. She's seen it somewhere but can't remember where.
