It was funny now that he thought about it, but during the incident he had found it... less than amusing. "So yeh know I had ter pull 'im outta the water and set 'im back in th' boat. Dried 'em off with mah wand faster'n the English fled from Wallace a' Stirling," Alistaire said, giving her a knowing look.

Settling in? "Oh yes, thank yeh, settlin' in jus' fine." Steer... some people just didn't know about highland cattle, especially considering he did have both genders of the creature. "M' cattle, yeh mean? Oh they're doin' jus' fine, jus' fine. Found 'em some Shetland mouse-ear th'other day, I did. Growin' on the edge o' the forest, yeh know; i's Bonny's favorite treat." Now if he could only find some Scottish Primrose for Broc! "Hearty breed, Highland cattle. I expect they'll be right happy here."

Right in, just like that. SPLASH. Annie's eyebrows jumped up and her eyes widened as the groundskeeper went on. Merlin, but he was a good storyteller! She'd forgotten how thick his brogue was... though obviously some people would find it charming. She might just stick to looking at him instead of talking too much. Too much Scottish reminded her of Wesley, and she didn't really want that.

"But good, I'm glad you had a safe trip. It sounds like you handled it well." Annie replied diplomatically. She could forgive him for the dig about the Battle of Stirling... for now... but really, was his Scottish heritage going to be brought up at every meal??

Yes, lovely, his cattle were settling in well. "I'm sure they'll do just fine, as will you. Let me know if you or your cattle," she made certain to use the proper term now, "are ever in need of anything. It will be nice for the students to have an active groundskeeper around." She nodded and picked up her water glass. Hopefully Alistaire would stay for some time now.

Mmm, good. The Healer always did look more on edge than some of the other staffers. Annie was glad she had had a nice break.

"I did, thank you," the redhead returned. "I think next summer we might take Davie to Egypt. It would be an educational experience for him." And a nice walk down memory lane for she and her husband.

Annie nodded and turned to looking out over the house tables, wondering if it was too soon for the speech or not?
