She asked if he genuinely thought they would get a cure, and he pressed his tongue to his teeth. "No, I don't. I think it's us being hopeful, but I don't think there's a cure to be found in Taemar." He admitted. When she looked to the door he looked over his shoulder as well and nodded. "Right, we probably should." He agreed, and moved to stand. 

They stood and left the main dining hall, headed for the private, more intimate one a few doors down, and Mikhail paused, hearing conversation inside. It wasn't just Robyn, so it seemed. He recognized his mothers voice as well.

After he got the dining arrangements changed, Robyn slowly made his way to the private dining room, his mind wandering as he walked.

While he understood why his father told him the truth of what happened, his mother being Mika's killer, he didn't realize how much it'd affect his ability to speak to his cousin. As it stood, once his happiness at seeing another person passed, he could hardly stomach being in the same room. He had no doubt his mother had done some shady things, politics demanded it, but to kill her nephew?

Robyn had to repress a shudder at that.

Voices coming from the private dining room had him raising a brow. He slipped inside the room, and managed to put a small smile on.

"Father. Aunt Anya." He greeted the two, nodding at them as he walked over to a chair and took a seat.

"Hey, Robyn." Zane greeted back, nodding to his son. "Finally decide to come have dinner?"

The smile got a bit tighter, and he nodded. "Yeah. Mika and his friend will be joining us in a bit."

Zane raised a brow at that, and glanced at Anya. "Mika has friends?"

**Milena Capell**
**Zahadra, Astoria**

Milena nodded her head at Mikhail's belief that there would not be any cure to the plague at the council. She walked with him to the private dining room and waited for him to open the door. It sounded like Robyn wasn't the only person in the room, as there were two other voices she did not recognize. 

"After you, I suppose." She said to Mikhail. It would have been rude in her opinion to walk into the room before him.

Anya raised a shoulder in a shrug at the comment. "A few, I wasn't told about him bringing anyone to dinner." She explained, looking to Robyn for a clue, but it wasn't needed. As soon as her eyes moved to Robyn the door opened to reveal her son. 

And a _girl_.

Anya blinked, and Mikhail paused a moment before entering the room fully. "Good evening, mother, Zane." He paused and then gestured to his right, letting Millie step into the room. "We have a guest this evening. May I introduce Lady Milena Capell, of Ostrava." There was a beat, and then he added. "Lady Capell, meet Sir Harmattan, and Queen Anyanka Durkhan, my mother."

Zane's brows rose a bit when he saw the young lady with Mika. When the young man introduced her, he just nodded slightly. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Lady Capell." He gave her a small bow, before casting a quick glance over at Anya. Zane had seen Robyn chatting up plenty of women at The Blazing Bull, Robyn was typically drunk when he did that, but this was the first time the man could remember Mika near any female not associated with their court.

Anya's reaction to her son bringing home a girl was something the man wanted to catch.

The way Robyn's forced smile dropped a bit into a smirk showed that his son was interested in this as well.

**Milena Capell**
**Zahadra, Astoria**

Her heart skipped a beat at the introduction of Queen Anyanka Durkhan and Sir Harmattan. She was about to have dinner with some of the most powerful people in Astoria. To say she was starstruck was an understatement. Milena prayed that her nervousness was not too apparent on her face as she clasped her hands in front of herself. 

"It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance." She cordially greeted the room's occupants. "The Prince Durkhan was gracious enough to invite me to tour Zahadra after I had granted him a tour of my home city of Ostrava, and hosted him within the Manor Capell. I am deeply humbled to be in your presence"
