====The Feast at the Fort====

The feast was welcomed in the fort.  Before the meal, Peter thanked the soldiers for their help with the fire, and thanked the townsfolk for bringing food, then lead a short prayer.  Silas approached Colonel Pratt and got him to agree to limiting visits to once a week, with communal meals once a month.  Colonel Pratt agreed, with the right to send men into town whenever needed.  Peter, meanwhile, convinced Hector that pursuing Leah would just cause trouble.  Hector agreed, broken-hearted, but told Peter to get out of his sight.
