"You got anything outside?

"Plenty of places, my lady, one of the other Lycans nods

"Show me the outside. Let me think about it,

"All right." Silas bows and leads the way out

The courtyard is beautiful from down here. The pillars have pretty vines growing around them. There are pretty flowers growing around the stone surroundings and the scent is out of this world. Past the courtyard is a massive stairway that leads into what I'm thinking is a village dedicated to those who work for the King.
