“Dual?” Luke questioned and they became very interested in what the Master was about to suggest. It showed, a level of trust and inclusion they had not expected.
"Yes, I liked your work with the mercenaries. It showed initiative." He ghosted a smile. "You will still answer to Lord Fenrah and remain a member of your flock, but you will also answer to me and become members of my coven.”
"I like it." Riall was the first to respond, and he was the most skeptical, so if he was on board, then Luke was okay with it as well.
“I think that will work wonderfully.” Liam chimed in and pulled them close to his sides.
"Go and be with your men, Liam. You put them through a hell of a lot, and they deserved your time and attention."
“Thank you, sir.”
"If you'd like a larger apartment, that can be arranged, or perhaps you'd like one of the cottages. Whatever you choose, just let me know, and I'll make it happen."
“Again, thank you. We will discuss it but for now I think we’re okay.” Liam looked down at his men with nothing but love and devotion shining in his expression.
"We are more than okay, Liam," Luke added and mirrored his expression.
"We will get back to you, sir; I think one of the cottages would be perfect." Riall was always thinking. Master DuCane nodded with a smile. "Now, let's go get reacquainted, shall we? He spoke to Liam." The three of them headed out solid, supportive, and so in love, it lit up the room.
Ismael stepped up to Louis’ side. “So, we now have a bond with Lord Fenrah.” He commented thoughtfully.
"Yes, isn't that great?" Louis responded just as thoughtfully. "I would never let such a perfect opportunity pass me by."
