I thought we could all use some more space. The other house is small for four people and three dogs.

[She makes a vague motion to the house around them.]

And this might be too big. But if anyone wakes up, we'll have the room for them. I'm thinking I might keep the other house, though. Just in case.

[If Marsali ever wakes up, she and Fergus might not want to live under mom's roof. She understands.]

But we'll keep that between you and I.

Your secret is safe with me.

[ And he presses a finger to his lips for good measure, but he's smiling behind it. ]

We should start cleaning, no? How is Bree when it comes to housework?

[ He only asks because she seems like she might be ... Precious about it. ]

[Claire gets what he's trying to say. It's been no secret that Bree's a bit more... pampered, perhaps, than the other two young men. Still, she makes a show of crossing her arms and raising a brow, as if offended.]

Whatever do you mean, Fergus?

[claudel]

[ He knows good and well that Claire knows what he means, and he does his best to stifle some laughter. You have to tred carefully with these Fraser women. ]

I mean that perhaps she is not used to cleaning old manors and might find it difficult to start. I am sure in the future it is maybe not quite the task it was for us.

[Clever boy. Sometimes more clever than his adoptive father, but she'll not ever tell either one of them that.]

She's stubborn. That'll be good enough for this, I hope. She'll not want to live in a pile of dust, so she'll get good at it.

[claudel]

It is her stubbornness that concerns me.

[ Said with good humour, of course. Fergus doesn't mind putting the work - when he's in the mood for it. He'll do the Manly chores, thank you kindly. ]
