Jason shrugged. “I’ll figure something out. If worst comes to worst, I’ll just hire someone else. I can’t imagine they’ll be as good, but it wouldn’t be the end of the world.”

“I suppose.” Milligan shook his head. “I just… We’ve been together a long time now.”

“We have, and we’re not going to part ways entirely. You’re still just over the hill.” Jason smiled, then turned his attention to matters of business. They could sling compliments and sentiments back and forth at each other for days, but they had work to do. “Now, in your opinion, what needs done back here? You see it more than I do. Are there repairs on the cabin, that sort of thing?”

Milligan shook his head. “The cabin is fine. I’ve been maintaining it as well as I can in my time here. A shingle there, a crack here, it hasn’t been too bad at all. As far as the property goes, I imagine you know it as well as I do. The olive trees and the grapevines are struggling along. We really need a second well, one for each field, if we’re really going to be able to produce the amount of water needed to support both crops, but…”

Jason nodded slowly. The but was that, legally, they could only have a certain number of wells inside of a certain physical area. He didn’t really understand the logistics behind it, but that was the law, and he wasn’t going to try to skirt around it.

“Well, when you get into that academy, maybe you could try and figure out how to help the plants survive.” Jason smiled at him.

“Oh, believe me, that’s my goal.” Milligan nodded. “Plus, you know they’re going to be breathing down my neck trying to get me to figure it out. I know they’re getting desperate for a cheap supply of the stuff, so you can rest assured of their business if you can get it working.”

“Good.” Jason clapped his hands. “Well, let’s get things together. I don’t want to run you out, so if you need to stay here for longer, I’m more than willing; I just figured I’d offer.”

“Actually, boss, I think I’m ready.” Milligan slowly bent down and picked up a small suitcase. “Shall we?”

Ten minutes later, Milligan passed through the walls of the academy, and Jason sighed as the stone doors rumbled shut. He walked back to the cabin, which, as he stepped inside, suddenly seemed a lot more cold and uninviting. The oven, though it was putting out heat… It didn’t do anything to make it feel like a home, and that was something that Milligan had always done. Slowly, Jason walked over and doused the flame, then turned away.

The air felt a bit colder as he made his way out into the wintery prairie once more, and he slowly climbed up onto Lady’s back. Dusty and Sandy were still in the stable, though Milligan had assured him that several mages would be coming to collect the two noble steeds.
