When Kaitie entered the dining room, she could see and smell every possible breakfast food ever made. There were meat and cheese platters, different kinds of bread, bacon, sausage, and everything in between. She took a deep breath and smiled to herself. Both the King and Arthur stood at her arrival and she looked at them both smiling. "Please, you don't have to stand on my account!" She said as she walked to her seat and sat down, allowing the two men to sit as well. "I apologize for starting, but I wasn't sure whether or not you were coming down to breakfast and I didn't want to take the chance of waking you to ask." Uther said, looking into her eyes as if trying to find some lost memory hidden behind them. "I would have been upset had you waited on my account. Really, you've been much to kind." She said, her eyes sparkling. "Kaitie," Arthur said. She looked up from the sausage she was trying to cut. "We were just discussing the search and rescue strategy for finding Lily. Neither of us think that you should come. It'll be much too dangerous" Arthur looked at her, expecting her to get upset or throw a fit. Instead all she did was look up remorsefully and say "Then when you don't find her today, or tomorrow, or whenever you search, and finally realize that she's either been kidnapped or is dead, then you will be the only ones to blame." she went back to eating her sausage. Arthur was extremely surprised at this behaviour. The well-mannered little girl that he known for less than a full 24 hours, who had already stolen his heart, who was one of the nicest people he's ever known, just told both his father, who was the King, and himself that they were making a grave mistake. His father seemed equally surprised at this behaviour and was about to say something when Kaitie began to cry again. Arthur rushed over to her side of the table and started to rub small circles on her back. Through the mangled attempts at what he assumed was breathing and talking at the same time, Kaitie finally calmed down enough to tell them why she was crying (even though tears still streamed down her face). "I am so sorry. I'm just really scared for Lily, and I don't know what I'll do if I lose her, and it's all my fault, and I don't know where my parents are, or if they're even alive," Kaitie said between sobs. It took a while for Arthur to calm her down this time. When she was finally breathing normally again, she looked back and forth between their concerned faces, and her eyes welled up again. Arthur gave her a questioning look and she sighed. "It's just the thought that I sit here comfortably, with people who care whether or not I live or die looking after me while Lily could very well be starving in that forest. I'm sorry that I'm being such a bad house guest." she looked up a little, and saw only concern for her looking back. She smiled again and looked at Uther with big, hopeful eyes. "Very well, if you wish. Just be safe. Arthur, watch her like a hawk. I can't have two of them missing!" The king said, sighing regretfully. "Thank you, M'Lord!" Kaitie practically squealed.
