Honora Castellum

He leads him to a small house made of metal, it was roughly the size of an apartment but held all the basic amenities that one needs, "This is one of the first draft to the metal homes I'm constructing! You get to be the first person to test it out! Feel honored?"

"Yeah! Thanks!"

"No problem! Glad someone can appreciate good handiwork!" He gave a thumbs up to the young goth. "Take it easy man! I'll let you get settled in!"

Gerard nods. "Thanks!"

The young inventor took his leave, getting a good feeling about the guy. Sure a bit quirky and such but not a bad guy...

"And there we have it!" Artisan exclaimed in excitement as he slammed his fist on the table. The blueprints for a Honora Castellum 2.0 were at last finalized and Artisan was chomping at the bit to get started with his new ingenious design.

"Pretty impressive" Kerrigan commented as she strolled in, peering over his shoulder
"You sure you can do all this by yourself?" She lightly teased

"Are you kidding me? I could do this with only half of me!" He bragged proudly as he gestured to his design. "Effective, efficient and user friendly! In short, a perfect design!"

"So why all the updates? Just felt like it?" She inquired examining everything he's been working on

"Well this place has worked all well and good and all, but honestly, I'm getting a little sick of the caveman style. I'm thinking of bringing in steel, comforts and just overall updates this place has been centuries overdue with!"

"I'm bringing it up at the next family meeting! Maybe you can help me advocate for it?"

She half shrugged
"Sure I can help. But, that doesn't mean everyone's going to be all for it. Though I'm sure captain surly won't voice any complaints." She chuckled a bit

He chuckled with her, "That's the difference between me and the old timer. He'd destroy computers just to keep books alive. I'm a little more progressive."

"Hey! Books are still awesome." Kerrigan defended. "Oh hey I never got around to asking but...exactly how many people live here? That gap is still in my memory."

"There isn't many of us left now, what with the civil war and Helm's little attack. That son of a bitch..." He spat at the ground.

"I'd say our numbers were in the high teens but I couldn't tell you for certain."

KerrIgAn muttered the word bastard at helm before refocusing on Artisan.
"Huh, that's not a bad number. But I feel like people are constantly being lost."

"It's the hazards of our job sadly. I'm hoping to make an armor version of our Strayer robes some time."

Artemis had to admit, the peaceful living was very becoming to him. No immediate crisis ready to explode, no dangers to thwart on the horizon...

Sure the remaining Death Eaters still needed to be rounded up, but even then, typical aurors were handling that quite well.

Hey honey -Liria says walking up to him and kissing his cheek-

Artemis turned to her and kissed her quite lovingly, "Hey there!"

Smiles at him and kisses him back-

Soo... I need a favor.

"Sure anything. What's up?"

Can you have a fake affair with someone?

Artemis was silent for a few seconds before at least deciding to make his confusion known, "Umm... why...?"

To make a long story short I'm messing with someone's mind right now as well as keeping you safe... So with that in mind... I'm gonna be having a fake affair with Crouch.

"Umm..." Artemis looked truly... actually no he wasn't. At this point this was a norm for Liria. "Who are you messing with? And wouldn't me cheating look a bit out of character?"
