As the days go on, Kat's presence around the city only increases. She talks with business owners, she brings meals to the workers on the docks and fields, she brings the children baubles and toys. She listens. She talks with them, learns of their plights, their concerns, fears and hopes. And she empathizes. Be it the owner, the lost, the laborer or the noble, she connects with them. She knows what it's like to own a business; she helped her parents run theirs growing up. She knows what it is like to work hard in unjust or difficult times; she used to be a dock whore. She knows what it is like to lose; she lost her family, her love, her home. But despite all that, she knows what it is like to rise from all that and succeed; her title in the city, her charitable works, her wealth and success. She does not gloat needlessly, keeping it simple and factual, but she does make the point of making something well aware... with her, there is successes, there is prosperity, there is safety. And there is an ear that listens, and a voice that can be heard.
