Magnus turned his chair. "Since when?"

Sebastian put both hands on his hips and stared down at his charge. "Since we started running out of room. The boys expanded the guest quarters for us."

"Nigel and Neil?" Magnus asked. Sebastian nodded.

Magnus shook his head. "Those little devils."

Law nodded. "I'd like to get settled in and start assignments. We'll be doing twelve-hour shifts. Meryn, I'll be working with you a bit more. Idris, get the men assigned to their quarters. Adriel, if you could have someone help them to get acclimated."

Adriel reached for his walkie-talkie "Casanova, can you come down Level One?"

"Yes sir."

"Casanova?" Kari asked out loud.

"Micah," numerous people responded. She laughed.

Bethy sat back smiling. "What else do we have for today?" she teased.

Magnus sighed. "The DeLaFontaine dinner."

"Douchebag," Meryn muttered. Law raised an eyebrow. She shook her head "Tell you later."

Magnus had a small smirk on his face, and he turned. "Law, will you be joining us for dinner?"

"Why would you join them, sir?" Gidan asked.

Law looked a bit uncomfortable. "My family is well known."

Gavriel, Aiden, Magnus, and Adriel began to chuckle. Law eyed Meryn. "I think maybe I should join you."

Meryn grinned "Game on."

Kari sat back down and indicated for Law to join her at table in the empty seat next to her. The men left with Micah to get assigned to their new quarters and be shown the city. She passed Law some of the sandwiches on her plate, and they began to wrap up their lunch. As people finished their lunches they left the room to get their assorted tasks completed before dinner.

She was walking out with Declan when she heard her name being called. She looked back to see Law jogging to catch up with her.

He looked down "So pregnant, huh? Emeric and Gidan will take good care of you."

Kari grinned. "Leaving you free to poke around."

He winked. "Meryn's squire has enough juice to take down an army. So she'll be okay with him while I snoop."

She laid a hand on his arm. "I am glad you are here."

"Me too, kiddo." Law ruffled her hair and then froze, looking at Declan. He dropped his hand. "Aren't lions supposed to be extremely possessive?"

Declan shrugged at the question. "I think my lion sees you as family. He knows that you will keep Kari safe so he approves."

"Lionhart? You're not at all like your brother."

"Who, Rex?" Kari asked. "He is very sweet."

Law snorted. "He's an arrogant ass."

Declan bristled. "It's just that he's that good."

Law smiled wide. "Just teasing. He'd swoon if he heard you sticking up for him like that. He dotes on you and Ari."
