| "I really don't see why you even bought this place, Kitty. Don't you think it's a little over-the-top?"

"Well, at least no one bothers me in here. And do you know, I've made more money from the farms and the tenants that come with the castle than I ever dreamed! It won't be long at this rate till my investment is completely recovered!"

"And the leaseholders do like you, that's a plus. I guess the old landlord must have been pretty harsh."

"That's what they say. A real bloodsucker." | | | "Ah, Ubergard! Come in! Sit down and eat with us. We have a plate all ready for you. So what's been going on at the Tails?"

"All is well. The new guards are proving competent. In fact, I've promoted K'riss to take my place permanently now. I will just drop in on them to make sure they keep up my standards."

"Well, I do thank you for everything Uber. It will be a lot more comforting to know you're around. Red and I get a little lonely in this place all by ourselves."

"What about your bat problem?"

"I had a man out from Whiterun earlier this morning," Muz-Ra replied, "He claims they're all gone now." | | | "Oh, this looks quite good Red! You are becoming quite the chef," said the big Argonian.

"Well, I don't know about that, but I know my way around a kitchen by now. Oh, Kitty, did you see the new issue of Tails that came out?" | | | "Yeah! Isn't Cheetah making a splash? This is her third feature in a row!"

Ubergard gulped down a healthy portion of steak before replying, "H thinks she's getting as popular as Udaran!"

"Any rivalry there? They did seem to be a happy couple. I'd hate to think this might get in the way."

"Udaran might be feeling a bit hurt. She's pretty prideful of her status there you know. But it can't last forever."

"No, I guess not." | | | "Are you going in town tonight Kitty?" asked Muz-Ra.

"Yeah, later. Mikael is back and I promised I'd dance again."

"I don't know why you do it, Kitty. Surely you don't need the gold anymore?"

"No, I certainly don't. But I enjoy it. Besides, Mikael is fun to be around."

"Are you two... close?"

"Not like that. Just physically. He's never going to settle down, and I really don't want him to. But it's nice to have a man appreciate you now and again."

"Hmph," Ubergard grunted, disapprovingly.

"Well, for some of us anyway." | | | Muz-Ra sighed.

"What?" asked Kitty, concerned. "What about your guard friend? Aren't you two still..."

"His wife found out."

"WIFE? You never said he was married!"

"I didn't know he was! ...Men," Muz-Ra sighed again, adding "She doesn't know it was me, but he said we had to call it off. She thinks it's some girl in the Whiterun market. She'd probably be horrified to know he was with an Argonian!" | | | "Well at least it wasn't a Khajiit!" Ubergard smiled at Kitty.

"Well no, ANYTHING is better than that!" agreed Muz-Ra, played along.

Kitty laughed, then a thought occurred to her. "Hey, wanna play gargoyle again?" | | | Kitty burped. "Ah! I'm stuffed. Thanks again Red!"

"You want me to clean up?"

"No, I'll do it later. With only the two of us... oops! I mean THREE now that Ubergard's here! We need to share the chores. I'll do my part." | | | "Well thanks Kitty, but I don't think you really understand this whole Employer/Employee relationship thing very well. Say Uber, want to go to the archery range later?"

"I don't know why. You always trounce me."

"That's why! You should learn to shoot better anyway." | | | "Hey! Did you see that? A shooting star!" the little Khajiit exclaimed laughing.

"I saw it. Do you suppose it means something?"

"They're supposed to be good omens I think," said Ubergard.

"Something good must be coming our way," Muz-Ra surmised. | |
