(He remained quietly for quite some time following Kaden's outburst, a funk having settled firmly into his mood. It was just plain hard to be in a cheery good mood when he was worried about his younger brother's welfare. It was true that he had all but neglected the lad.. and he was damn sorry for that, it had not been his intention at all. He'd had a new mate and quite a bit of baggage to handle upon returning to Lallybroch.. and Kaden wasn't like Durgan in that Durgan had just sort of inserted him into Dane's business. Durgan fit into his daily life so well that dealing with him wasn't a conscious thing.. it was as though they were one person soemtimes, he knew what his brother would say before it came out of his mouth.. and things were just that easy between them. But Kaden. That whelp needed to be straightened out, but there was the issue of their damaged relationship to deal with as well. Before he knew it, the dinner was all but over and he was watching his mate and his other guests enjoy the homemade frozen yogurt that his head cook made. He had made small talk with Ashleigh, though it was obvious his mind was elsewhere, until Bree turned to him and pulled him suddenly into the here and now. He cleared his throat, nodded and,lifting his hand to lay it on hers atop his shoulder, tipped his head up to gaze at her.) Aye lass, I shall come for ye as soon as I can. (He murmured softly, then looked over at Ashleigh, who was looking at him expectantly, and smiled despite himself. It was ironic to him that he had just told his lass not to fash o'er the lad.. but here he was doing just that. He rose to his feet, turned, and placed a kiss on his mate's soft lips before pushing in his chair and looking around the table.) Durgan will show ye to the den. There is whiskey and cigars there - the lasses will be but across the hall and I will take our wee scholar to the library. (With everything for the evening settled, he went to Ashleigh and offered her his hand, escorting her out of the great hall and down the stairs to the outer wing of the keep. The great library was down there, where she spend her entire life and barely touch the tomes. He was proud of the place, it was the sort of information that only a male of his breeding and stature could maintain.) The history of our kind is down here, and hopefully some insight into my mate. (He murmured, grunting a little as he shoved at one of the aged doors, causing it to creak on it's unoiled hinges. The room appeared small until he turned on the lights, and then it gaped back into the depths, row upon row of dusty books. He looked around, smiled a little, and let out a sigh.) Ye can tell tis nay a place much time is spent. (He murmured, looking over at her.) There is a much smaller private library up in the west wing of the keep, the tomes there are more for reading purposes.. fiction and the like.. these are the important ones. (He shoved his hands into his pockets, then turned to one of the servents that had tailed them down to the library. The man would watch over Ashleigh, be sure that she had everything she needed.. get things down from high places for her and generally keep her company. He himself would remain, but he was sure that Durgan would knock him upside the head for inviting guests over and dumping the on him.)
