OOC You know you never hear about familiar strangers anymore do you?

IC

Within seconds Artemis, Crest and Artisan were all at the gate, anticipating a fight. Crest was the first to step forward, "State your business."

Ooc Hilarious Junior.

Ic The man lowers his hood. He has black hair thats slightly longer and grey eyes (and because I'm in no mood to try and describe this guy think of Sirius Black before Azkaban... But no this guy isn't Sirius)-

I am here to meet with the Head Strayer.

Artemis starts to step forward, "That is me..." Crest puts his hand in his brother's path though.

"Why do you wish to speak with him?" Crest's greatest duty was defending the head strayer, and he would honor his responsibility.

I need to inform him that he is terrible at his job...-says in a bored voice-

Artisan stepped forward this time, "You got a lot of cojones talking like that here buddy. I'd watch your mouth..."

Smirks- I have heard the Strayers cannot take criticism... I guess it's true.

Looks at Artemis- Your wife will vouch for me.

"And just who are you?" Artemis asked sternly. Did this man really make his way here just to insult them?

I am not saying another word till I am let in. Like I said your wife knows me and she will tell you I mean you no harm. -says looking arrogant-

Artemis looks at his brothers, "See to it he stays here..."  Artemis runs off to find Liria.

Liria literally almost runs into Artemis as she comes out-

"Hey Lir, there's a supposed friend of yours here... but you already knew that I assume?"

Raises an eyebrow- No.... I was not aware.

"Oh, follow me then..." He grabbed her hand and ran out, feeling more concerned for his brothers than ever.

Liria runs with him to find the guy leaning against the gate looking bored. Artisan and Crest are completely unharmed.

He looks up as they approach-

Hello Liria darling.

Liria: looks at him- Do... I know you?

Guy: Eh... Sorta.

Artemis starts to scowl as he hears her refer to Liria by his affectionate name for her. He holds Liria close to him, "I'd like an explanation to that please..."

Guy: leans forward and looks into Liria's eyes- Now Liria darling listen very closely. You were at a certain place with a certain individual who hates me currently because I put this person's "honor" -rolls eyes- at stake. Remember?

Liria: You!!!

Guy: grins- Good. You remember. Now be a good girl and tell yoir husband to let me in. I'm on his side after all.

Liria: looks torn-

Guy: eyes dart to her husband's face and back to her's- Liria. Remember where your loyalties lie.

Liria: scowls at him- He's fine. Let him in.

Artemis is distrustful of this man, but if Liria recognized him... "Fine... Artisan, Crest stand down..."

Artisan looked hesitant but ultimately put away his wand. Crest however kept his wand out, ready to strike this stranger if he gave him even a remote cause to distrust him.

Guy: walks in- Good very good. Thank you Liria darling.

Liria: slaps him across the face-

Guy: Doesn't look remotely offended- Who was that for? Him or Him?

Liria: looks frustrated and leaves-

"Stop calling her darling... and tell me what you came here for..." Artemis was a patient man, but continually addressing his wife like that was getting under his skin.

Looks serious- To discuss the DE's.

"Umm yeah, care to elaborate a bit Captain Ambiguous?" Artisan asked as he waved his hand to urge him to move on.

I managed to arrest 5? Or some number like that.

"I see. Good to know five problems are out of the way for now... good work." Despite his irritations, Artemis did in fact mean what he said.

Whats more....

They think the man who did it is Crouch himself.

Crest's eyes widened a bit, "How do you believe that?"
