"My first son is very busy with his studies," Aaron answered tactfully.
Cassandra smiled and hugged her daughter. "From what I hear, it's far more likely you'll simply be doing things for him."

"Studious, is he?" Rodrick's mischievous smile was back, and he followed the Lord into his castle suppressing laughter.
"Oh that's lovely, all that land and he shan't even be difficult to control! You're the best, mother."

As his parents pulled ahead, Kenny glanced at Lord Rodrick. "Is that funny, my lord?" he asked, softly enough his father couldn't hear.
Cassandra smiled. "I wish only the best for my dragonlings. We will meet them in a week to discuss the details of the affair."

Rodrick grinned. "Observant." He complimented. "I like that. Kenny Clark you and I both know what your brother Adam is doing can't be called studying in any sense of the term. I just think it's funny when I catch people in a lie."
"I hope everything goes wonderfully! Oh, I should pick out something to wear!" Rosanna sounded excited. She was finally going to get the power she'd always been promised as a Nagarr girl!

"Wear something fit for your beauty, my Rose. He'll never know what hit him."
Kenny tilted his head, staring at Rodrick all over again. This man knew about his brother. What else did he know? "Then you're going to find my family hilarious."

"Oh I'm aware. Information is a powerful weapon and you and I Kenny, are going to get along splendid." He headed inside after Aaron.
"Oh I shall." Rosanna agreed.

"Breakfast is in a half-hour." She reached up to the small dragon in the rafters.
Kenny actually smiled. Maybe Kinsey was right. He paused, watching his new lord walk, then followed and sat beside John, since his father occupied Rodrick's right and John his left.

Rosanna's dragon made a cheerful sound and scurried down Lady Cassandra's arm befor snaking around her shoulders. That was how Rosanna liked to carry her dragon with her, so the dragon tended to do that with all people it liked.
John nodded to his new squire. He didn't seem unfriendly, exactly, but he didn't crack a smile. Rodrick occupied himself with trying to get a good reputation with Aaron.

Cassandra smiled and stroked its head. "This is good while you're small, but soon you'll have to learn to walk places," she informed it. After a moment, she pulled the small creature from her shoulders, stroking its length, and setting it down on Rosanna's bed.
Kenny sighed and glanced at his food, somewhat disappointed. It was halfway through the meal by the time Adam arrived, looking more than a little hung over. He carried a flask with him, though, so it seemed he appeared to merely postpone the problem.

"Aw, he can do it until he's at least as big as Avant." Rosanna protested. "I love it when he sits on me like that. And I'll get stronger as he grows bigger!" She held out her arm and her green dragon scurried up it.
"Lord Adam Clark," Rodrick sounded surprised and impressed. He held out a hand for Adam to shake. "I am honoured to make your acquaintance."

Cassandra smiled. "He'll have to be careful, you may have a little one on the way before he's as big as Avant. It's as good a place for him as any in the meantime, it's good to have him so close when meeting people who don't know dragons."
Adam blinked and looked the man obviously up and down. "Who the hell're you?"

"Yes, it's nice to help reassure people he's friendly."
Just then, someone came to inform Lady Cassandra that Madame Guillotine had returned.
"Lord Rodrick Ashford." Rodrick answered.

"Thank you. I'll be right there." She smiled at her daughter one last time. "See you at breakfast, Rosanna." She headed off to meet her guest.
Adam nodded slowly as the name started to register. He shook Rodrick's hand, and finally understanding blazed across his face. "It's good to meet you too." He grinned. Of course Lord Ashford liked him.

Madame Guillotine bowed deeply. "It is done, my lady."

"Excellent." Lady Cassandra handed over a weighty coin purse. "Was the daughter there?"
