"I think so. A haunted house in the city wouldn't be worth it, really, but..."
Kevin pauses, considering just what to say. The knight tries not to fuss over Glen, he really does. The duke broods quite enough on his own without his knight adding to his stress by fretting over it. But Kevin knows that Glen's hands have been getting stiffer with the chill, and though the man seems easier in his own skin now than he was when they first arrived, he hasn't truly perked up as Kevin had hoped. They certainly have their fun, but that's different than being happy.
Kevin should know. He's felt the difference keenly, over the past year.
"Everything else about it is so good. We came here for peace and quiet and it's better, but -- but there's still people who don't belong to us walking outside of our door every day, and other people in our kitchen, and I don't know who lives above us. You have to share the piano. If we moved to this place, it'd really be just us and Lacie, and there will be room for everyone else too. More than enough, even if we aren't all human all the time. We could hunt, have a garden, only come into the city when we want instead of for things we need." He twines his long fingers together; they're a little red from the cold air. "I think...I think this might be the right house."
