Anyanka smiled. "All Astorians are welcome to visit whenever they like." She told Milena, then paused. "Whether or not they're seen right away depends on the day, but we love having guests."

Mikhail had worried it would be awkward, that Robyns look would be mirrored on Anya and Zane's faces, but it seemed it wasn't. They spoke as if Milena was a regular at the table, and he smiled behind his wine glass as he lifted it. 

"After dinner I intended to show Milena the gardens, while that's happening we'll have a room turned down for you." Mikhail said, his eyes moving to Milena and offering a crooked smile he couldn't help. He was trying _not_ to grin, knowing it would make Robyn tease him into oblivion. But she looked good at his table, and he liked how easily she pulled the conversation.

"Knowing you, Anya, you'd drop anything to see a guest." Zane lightly ribbed, nodding to the servant who brought him his wine, before beginning to eat.

Robyn had caught the look on his cousins face, and couldn't help the small smirk that slid onto his face. After learning of everything that happened to the young man, he was glad to see the closest thing he had to a brother have a crush.

Didn't mean he wasn't going to tease him into oblivion, though.

"You know, if you're both going to be free after the gardens, my father would love to have us at the Bull." Robyn said to Mika and Milena, choosing not to comment on the look his father sent him.

Zane sighed a bit before shaking his head. "So long as you three don't burn it down, go wild." A small shrug, and he smirked to his son. "Tell Azule I'll foot the bill."

"You own the place." Robyn reminded him, rolling his eyes. "You shouldn't have to pay."

"I don't." Zane said with a smug look. "So if you three want to, go have some fun."

Milena didn't catch Mika's look, but smiled to Robyn and Mikhail anyways. "I'd love to join you for a drink after the gardens, Robyn. I doubt I'll drink more than one, but I'm sure it will be a lovely time."

Mikhail glanced to his cousin, a brow raised at the suggestion of taking Milena to the Bull. Granted, this was the woman who he had caught sneaking out of her home to attend a play and interact with the city, but that place didn't feel like it would earn the approval of his mother as a place to take their guest. 

"We'll see how the night turns out." He answered simply. For all he knew Milena was just being polite and wanted to sleep. They'd had a long day already with the Market and travel from Ostrava to Astoria. Maybe she _didn't_ want to spend the entire day at his side. 

When dinner was finished Anya looked to Zane, prompting him to take his glass when she stood. "It was a pleasure to meet you, Lady Capell. I hope to see you again in the future, enjoy your stay in Zahrada, and please don't hesitate to ask if you find yourself in need of anything." She gave Robyn a look that said *'I know your parentage, behave'*, and then cast the same to Mikhail, because his genes could also be disastrous with too much wine.

"And Milena, don't let these boys disrespect you in any way. I raised them better than that." 

"I would never." Mikhail countered, feigning offense as Anya passed, ruffling his dirty blonde locks with a grin.
