Mikayla chuckled at the their worried faces. Seeing them shuffle about to try to figure out what exactly she meant was comical.

"We don't have to chisel stone to make this place a home." she said sipping her tea. Then she put her cup down. "I would like to plant a garden with fresh fruit, veggies and flowers. I would like to open up the shutters so that some light and natural light filters into the rooms. I would like to start having dinner together as a family, and that includes Angus. I would like to take the time to make this place more homey, cosy, inviting. Maybe by doing so you won't be so grumpy. I want to give you both something worth waking up in the morning. Those are the changes I would like to make. But you both have a say. This was your home before it was mine, so I would like you to both be excited about the changes. However if you are not and don't want it. I will not do it," She said eyeing both the men in front of her. "So what do you say? Would you like me to grace this place with a woman touch, or would you prefer this woman stay in her place?"?

(The Dragon, Angus)
?
The Dragon exchanged an uncertain glance with Angus, then looked back to Mikayla when the servant could only shrug back helplessly.? "I give you permission to effect whatever changes you wish to make within the keep," the Dragon said, his deep voice sending vibrations though the stones in the floor and walls, quickly adding an anxious "short of burning the place down, that is.? It might be... interesting... to see something different for a change.? Angus will assist you in whatever ways you feel he can be of use."
?
Angus touched his forehead in dutiful acknowledgement of his instructions.? The Dragon turned to leave, but scowled at Mikayla sourly.? "I seriously doubt if any being could make you you stay in your place, whatever that is.? His draconic features then softened slightly.? "But I do hope that you will find some time amid your 'changes' to resume your magic studies.? I... I would consider it a personal favor."??
?
With that, the Dragon left the chamber, exiting through the massive balcony, though instead of flying off, he chose to climb up the stones of the exterior wall until he disappeared from view.? Angus turned to Mikayla and asked "As the Master said, I am yours to command.? At least for now."
