Zane sighed as Anya stood up, and shook his head. He grabbed his wine and looked at his son, patting him on the shoulder as he stood. "If you go down to the Bull, make sure Nero is there."

Robyn rolled his eyes before nodding, idly batting his fathers arm off his shoulder. When the two adults left the room, Robyn just glanced at Mika and Milena, before he began to stand and excuse himself. "If you two decide to do anything later, you know where to find me."

Zane glanced at Anya as the two walked, nodding as he idly drank his wine. "Should we wait before we invite Milena on the trip with the boys? Or should we let Mika run off with her to Vincentien?" Zane teased, smirking over the top of his glass.

She was excited for Mikhail to show her the gardens, and to meet with Robyn afterwords for drinks and a chat in a less formal setting. She smiled at The grand duchess's quip. "Don't worry, I'll do my best to keep them in line." 

She then turned to Robyn. "We'll see you soon, Robyn." Milena said affably as he turned to leave. Once I was just her and Mika in the room, she gave him a very warm smile. "Your mother is very kind. I like her a lot. The same to Sir Harmattan and Robyn. They treated me not as a random girl of nobility, but as an honored guest, and a friend. I found myself very relaxed in their company. That means more to me than you could know"

Everyone from dinner departed, and Mikhail was left alone with Milena in the private dining room. He watched as Robyn left after Millie's comment, and turned to look back at her as she spoke. "I'm glad to hear you were comfortable with them. My mother tends to make it a point not to frighten those I bring to Zahrada, she only scares nobles." He grinned, and looked to his unfinished plate. He wasn't going to eat it, he wasn't particularly hungry and he was enjoying the way the wine hit on an empty stomach. 

"So, shall we head to the gardens?" He asked, moving to stand and holding out his hand for her to take.

Milena had finished her dinner, and stood up as he did. She took his hand in hers and returned the smile. "Absolutely. I have been waiting with anticipation. Lead the way, Mikhail."

With her permission, he helped her up and out of her seat. They moved out of the dining room and out into the halls, taking the same route they had the first time back towards the back of the house. The veranda was illuminated with torches on the walls, their flames sending light out over the area. The sun was setting, but there was enough light for them to explore a bit, and just like the night prior, the moon would hang full and high in the sky once the sun started to fall. 

He lead her outside, releasing her hand as they stepped out. "There's a lot to cover, the main gardens you caught a glimpse of are mostly day blooms, but the ones further out near the are night blooms, they should start opening by the time we get out there."
