(He arched both of his brows at Durgan's whuff, thinking much too deeply on things as he gazed unseeing about the clearing. He realized idly just how easily he had slipped back into normalcy with him.. how easy it had been to find himself home and seeing to his Lairdly duties.) Aye, I ken it all too well. I will talk with her about a lot of things tomorrow.. she was very tired. (He glanced a Bree and heard her soft laughter in his ears, her whoops as they had flown together, and smiled wistfully. That smile turned to a frown at Durgan's words, and he looked worriedly at his brother.) We will have to tap into reserves, then, if needbe.. and start interviewing new tenants. Mayhap we can get some of the younger MacDougalls to move back with their mates and families.. (He was musing on it, the tip of his tail tapping against his lower lip as he looked at Durgan. There were plenty of young males that had mated and moved off to find their own lands, or simply moved onto the lands of their mates.. but with new lands on Lallybroch opened by the slaughter of a year before.. he nodded.) Aye, that is what we will have to do. We cannot be limited by numbers. I will have to do a headcount, see who remains, interview them.. find out who can return to take up the slack. We will be numerous as the stars once again, brother. (He sobered, and crawled over to Durgan's side, bumping his side against his brother's hip in a friendly manner before nipping the tuft of scales above his ear. It was something he had done to Durgan since he was a whelp, and it made him feel that much more connected to him.) I missed ye, brathair, and I canna tell ye how proud I am of the work ye've done to keep the place in tact in my absense. Och, it is good to be home. (He said, and whuffed back. He became quiet, until Durgan started to laugh about Bree's apparent hold on the Laird's ballocks. He didn't really think he liked anyone discussing his ballocks.. especially when they were blue. He bit his brother lightly on the neck, growling mischeviously.) If it wouldna wake her up, I'd tan yer hide. (He said in a promising sort of tone, meaning that he would tan Durgan's hide on the morrow.)
