Where: Artan's shop, New Orleans
When: Tonightishtime
Warnings: Needles, swearing

Artan hadn't had much time to spend with his future daughter's boyfriend, nor did he particularly feel like it was his right to. After all, he knew Henn was a strong, sweet lady who took after himself a little bit. When he got a call from Cassidy, asking for some work done on a couple people, one of which being himself, he obliged, because hey, work that he liked.

Cassidy had known where Artan's shop was for quite a while, and led Soren there. It was a nice, clean store just outside of the part of town that tourists would usually tread. Right as they entered the door, there was a good jag of classic rock playing, Led Zepplin's Houses of the Holy was apparently being played.

Artan was a shorter man, much shorter than what Cassidy had remembered him being, at first, but it was starting to become normal for him. "Artan, this is Soren Skwigelf. Soren, this is Henn's future dad, Artan Stillman. I think Artan said he worked on your dad and mom's art, too."

Artan offered his hand to the tallest male, grinning, "And you look a hell of a lot like them both. You got your mom's face and your dad's everything else. So, what are you two in for tonight? Did you bring me a design, or do you need me to help you make one?"

Soren was actually sort of sheepish as he shook Artan's hand. "Yeah, everyone says that. I could've done a lot worse, though, you know?" He blinked, seeing quite a bit of Henn in Artan too, but not wanting to point it out. Time pretzels treated everyone differently, and Mr. Stillman might not have wanted his future daughter pointed out to him.

He leaned slightly on Cass and scratched the back of his neck. "We've got a rough idea of the one we want that's sort of in common - and I know I want one and I have a rough idea, but I can't draw at all. That one I'll need help with."

	He nodded enthusiastic agreement. "Henn's one of my best friends. I'd say thanks for helping make her, but I'm sure that it wasn't a problem for you." He looked at his arm, smiling as he saw the lines form. "Yeah, I guess I'm moving pretty fast with Sable, but we're going to have a long engagement." He bit his lower lip and looked at Cass. Sometimes he felt bad for bringing it up. (Reply to this)

	Soren raised his eyebrows and blinked. He wondered what Artan's story was like, but he was too busy blushing to really want to bring it up. He figured Cass would for him, anyway. "How'd you propose, Artan?" (Reply to this)

	"Things like that are pretty, though." Soren felt kind of goofy talking to people like Artan who had actual talents. Soren never thought of his magic as a skill; it was something he'd learned how to do when he was four, and he'd always kept practicing in sort of idle ways. Artan was a thief, which just seemed way more practical than what he could do. (Reply to this)

	Soren's eyes lit up at the prospect of food, as well as his dog. He waited until Artan's needle was far from his wrist before flopping down on the ground to smooch Dog. He beamed at Henn. "I'm still a big wuss, you know. And thank you for food." He was pretty gleeful at the prospect of pausing and sitting and having a little impromptu picnic. (Reply to this)
