Margaret brought in the tray of seasoned lamb chops that she'd prepared and set it on the table. She glanced at Greyson's face and became concerned.? "Are ye alright, Master Greyson?" the housekeeper asked.? "Ye look like ye've seen..." she hesitated before she'd said what her first thought was.? "...like ye've had a fright.? Is there anything wrong?"

?

-Greyson, Marcellus and Alexandria-

?

Greyson blushed a bit at Miss Margaret’s perceptiveness. “I am find Miss Margaret. My apologies for worrying you. It is just that my weekend romp to the other side of the globe must come to an end. It would appear I am needed at work. And I have to fly out tomorrow.” Greyson said

?

“Yeah, Me too.” Marcellus said.

?

Alex sighed. “That would make three of us. But I feel bad about leaving Sammy here alone. Its just so much.”

?

(Callum)

?

"And a good afternoon to ye, Mistress Scheherezade," Callum said genially, acknowledging her greeting with a smile and a respectful nod.? "Though ah must point out that ah'm not properly speaking a 'sir'.? If yer wanting to be formal, the proper form of address would be 'Laird Callum'. But since ye are from the colonies, ah dunna think anyone will take it amiss if ye just call me Callum."? He laughed as he added "Anyone except for Wee Jaimie, that is.? The lad means well, but he gets upset when he thinks the proper traditions are not being observed."

?

"So, Mistress Scheherazade," Callum said, moving to fall in step beside her, "what would ye most like to see and hear aboot? It's a fine clear day for walking aboot the grounds."

?

- Scheherazade -

?

Colonies…she didn’t think she had everyone heard anyone called the US colonies except in books. Sam offered a warm smile. “Callum it is. But only if you will please drop the Mistress and called me Sam. Noone ever calls me ?Scheherazade,” she said with a smile even is he did rather liked how he said her full name.

?

“And I think I would like to hear it about it all. This place is so grand and there are so many knooks and crannies someone can get lost in. I think I am going to like exploring here. I have always been a rather curious sort. So tell me Callum, How did you come to live and work here at the castle. Have your family been here long? Miss Margaret said her family has served here for generation I fact that I find ?fascinating. To me its incredible to be able to trace your roots back that far. I actually had no idea I was apart of the Connery Family tree until the lawyer sent me the papers saying that my great uncle had died and the castle now belonged to me. I am sorry. I am babbling.” She blushed. “please forgive me.”
