The pleasant warmth of summer was slowly vanishing. Cold winds were beginning to ebb at the borders of the Society, but the cloudy skies cast little more than chilling breezes upon the building. It wasn't an overly unpleasant day, merely drab, plain.
In this season, a person might gaze out of their window longingly, and to the one who had observed, it was easy to notice a regular visitor that never made it past the doors. He'd been coming and leaving for a few days by now, and the routine was strange, if nothing else: the man would go as far as the doorsteps, but as soon as he would bring his hand to knock upon the doors, his confidence - and his fixed smile - would vanish. Hastily, he would turn on his heels and make his way back down the streets. He'd be back the next day. He always was.
And he was here now; he stared up at the imposing building with a hopeful smile, stray curls drifting in and out of his view. Slowly, he stepped forth, a beat passing before he gingerly applies a knock against the door.
(( Who is this mystery man?? Whaaaa??
... Kidding, I'm pretty sure all y'all know who it is. ))

Lizzy curled up in her cart looked up and climbed out and answered it. "Hello? Who may be knocking?" She asked a bright smile that stood out against the dull day. "And what would you be doing here on such a lovely day!?"

The man's smile widens to equal hers, and he chuckles warmly. "Hello there! So sorry to bother you with boring business. My name is Artemis Geovanni, um - I'm searching for a man named Elias Castellanos. Does he reside here?"

"Oh i don't reside here i was just staying the night in till the storm blew over which it has so i may be leaving soon. And what does he look like? I may have seen him. Also no business is boring all of it is important no matter how trivial it is" Lizzy chimed in her voice just full of joy.

(( Elias might have been around throughout the night -- it's up to you if Lizzy recognized him. ))
He pauses to consider the question: what would he look like now? Nonetheless, he laughs softly. "A shared ideal indeed, miss! Erm... I'd imagine short, black hair? Freckles, lots of 'em."
A beard, the man had said Elias had started a beard! "And... scruffy facial hair, I believe."

He pauses briefly, seemingly trying to recall any other details. His gaze returns to hers with more hopefulness than it had before, "A thin scar, perhaps all along the right side of the jaw? Did he have that, miss?"
(( Elias does have that, but it's hard to notice. It's fairly faded. ))

Assuming that neither strayed far, the two would face pleasant and discouraging Lodgers alike in their search. Eventually, though, as Artemis presses a firm knock against one of the doors, there is no response at all.
A beat passes, and angry mumbling can be heard on the other side. The door opens soon after, only to reveal a bitterly-scowling Elias. His hair was wild and messy, the buttons of his undershirt arranged hastily and incorrectly. "Is there something that you need so much that y--... Arty?"
He briefly looks towards the other, unfamiliar woman, his face slowly turning a pale color.

Elias quickly cuts in before Artemis can invite her in, "Then please go, we have much to discuss. In private." He grabs Arty's wrists and pulls him through the doorway, the latter offering a small wave and a mouthed "thank you" before the door shuts in her face.

Lizzy bites her lip angry bitterness filling her. "Nothing new DAD" She whisper yells before turning and sighing. "I'm just a parasite to EVERYONE" She called sarcastically now angry. She walks back to her cart and throws her hands out making the displays closet to her disappear in anger. "No nothing new at all!" She yelled sighing tears in her eyes. "I'm just a parasite to the perfect lineage a blotch on the line" She falls to the ground tears rolling down her face.

Stifling yet another yawn, Richard popped his neck as his boots tapped out a meandering rhythm through the halls of the Society. Lost in his thoughts as he was, he almost didn't hear the syncopation of someone knocking on the door. Pivoting on his his heel, he faced the door and tilted his head in a gesture more animal than human, then frowned slightly, as if to ask 'Now why would you do that?'
He straightened his posture after a moment lingering over the feeling of déjà vu before adopting a slight limp to silence the slight 'tink' of his metallic footsteps. He chided himself for leaving his apron and cane upstairs: the former of which hid the slight bump where metal met flesh above his knee, the latter of which made it easier to walk 'normally'.Mentally shrugging off as much of his trepidation, he crossed the room and opened the door after fastening his scarf more securely around his neck.
He vaguely recognized the man that stood before him and stifled a smile and a dry comment about courage, instead standing straight and infusing slight warmth into his voice. He did his best to ignore the slightly raspy quality of it; That was likely due to last night's dreams.
"Labądien, signore. M-may I b-be of assistance?" Lacking the usual security of his cane, his clasped his hands behind his back somewhat tensely and tried to enjoy the pleasant day.

The man's smile only brightens at Richard, never pausing to consider that someone might recognize his face's faint similarity to Elias'. He folds his hands politely and starts with a cheerful tone of voice, "Hi there!
I was wondering if a mister Elias Castellanos was staying here? The help is really appreciated, sir."

Something about the man seemed familiar, but his skills lay in the recognizing details of his surroundings and machinery, less so people. When he mentioned Elias' name, a faint, fond smile curled the corners of his eyes.
"I had the p-pleasure of m-meeting him.. I b-believe it was earlier t-this w-week, t-though my p-perception of t-time is skewed a-at the best of times. T-to answer y-your question, h-he is indeed." It didn't occur to him to invite the other man inside, nor to ask his business with Elias. He'd blame that on the lack of tea in his system later.

A small titter passes his lips, almost sharing in the fondness. His voice seems to increase in speed as he talks, "If it's not too much trouble, could you perhaps notify him that Artemis is here? Or if you could direct me to him. I do hope I'm not interrupting anything!"

Richard held up a hand in a placating gesture, the smile in the corners of his eyes deepening with amusement. "All is w-well, you are i-interrupting nothing as f-far as I know.. H-however, I m-must confess I d-do not know w-where in the building h-he is currently l-located." For a single heartbeat, he let his gaze turn distant and cold as he calculated the odds of this newcomer causing too terrible an amount of trouble, and the chances of any sort of shady business. He would be a poor friend indeed if he didn't do his part to keep the few he had safe.
Finding the odds satisfactory, he smiled once more and stepped aside, gesturing towards the interior of the building. "I-if y-you would l-like, we can l-look for him t-together Signore...?" Perhaps not the most graceful way of asking a name, but he'd done worse. At least this time he didn't punch the man he was asking the name of. He had a feeling that would be terribly rude, and that simply wouldn't do.

The man offers a wide, pleasant grin, nodding to Richard with a small laugh as he steps forward. "Artemis Geovanni, sir! That would be delightful! I'm here to deliver a message, you see, simply fami-- ...fam..."
His voice dies out as he lays his eyes upon the magnificent foyer, and he looks around with a blissful smile. "Oh... oh, my goodness gracious."

"R-richard P-prince." He chuckled softly at the look on Artemis' face. "'G-goodness gracious d-does seem t-to be t-the appropriate r-response, d-does it n-not?"
Richard's mind was partly occupied with the unfinished 'family' in that sentence, thoughts darting and leaping like so many stained-glass-butterflies and sparks of intuition. Hopefully nothing unfortunate had happened, and hopefully he was not about to start some sort of dramatic sequence of events. There were all too many similarities in this situation- Hell, he was wearing the same clothes in some of those memories.
He waited for a minute or so before clearing his throat gently. "I-I suppose t-the kitchen w-would be as g-good a place t-to start as any, yes? I-if you will f-follow me.." Trusting Artemis wouldn't want to get lost in an unfamiliar building and follow him, he began to walk/limp towards one of his favorite rooms in the Society.

Also, more unimportant details: My chunky monkey child loves kitchens. Like, the actual decor, and the warm atmosphere. He loves them. He loves pretty things.
...And the food. ))
Artemis does indeed follow after him, clearing his throat after a moment. "Right! Yes, of course!"
He continues his babbling, "Anyway, um, so -- yes! I do need to pass on some information to him, but it's a dull little thing, really."

(( Related unimportant detail, Richard loves (and is pretty decent) at cooking and baking- he's better at baking though. He got the 'stress baker' part of my personality. But yes to all those points about kitchens, I love kitchens. Kitchens and libraries and food.
Also now I need to arrange a 'Richard cooks for people' session. At some point. 
Annd bad things! Favorite things! I will wait with anticipation! ))
Richard smiled and chuckled again. "I s-somehow f-feel t-that a message t-that took s-so m-many attempts j-just to arrive at t-the door, n-never mind t-the fact w-we have y-yet to find Elias, i-is a 'dull l-little thing,' as you said." He coughed sheepishly, backpedaling slightly. "N-not t-to be rude, of c-course. M-merely an observation."

Artemis' eyes widen, and he lets out another small chuckle, his cheeks slowly pinking. "Oh, right, that!" He hardly seems shaken, though, and smiles through this fact. "Oh no, you're really fine! I suppose it was just a nervous thing, after all. It's been years, heh."

(( Oh boy Artemis. I somehow feel something's happened. Welp. ))
Richard hummed softly. "Still. A-at any r-rate, I am s-sure all w-will be well." As they turned the corner to the kitchen, he slowed to walk beside Artemis rather than in front, as he had been, not entirely sure what possessed him to do so. He nodded at the doorway to the kitchen to distinguish it from the many other entrances in the hallway.
(( And now I think it's better for you to take the lead here *finger guns* ))

(( Something did happen, but... it's surprisingly, like, incredibly unimportant to Arty. ))
Artemis pokes his head inside the doorway, scanning the area.
Elias isn't there.
He looks back towards Richard, but his smile remains fixed, though perhaps slightly less eager. "I'm afraid he's not in the kitchen."
(( I'm not sure if Richard would remember or care or anything, but Elias probably provided his room number to him. ))

(( I wasn't sure if Elias would share, I was applying Richard's nervousness to him. Woops! Let's just operate under the assumption the kitchen was closer.. or something. I'm still curious about the something, cos I'm a nosy butt :P ))
Richard nods. "V-very well. My apologies, t-the kitchen w-was simply closer. I b-believe his room w-was... this way." He hoped his memory was working well; Numbers and names were fond of swapping at times. He was relieved, then, when he didn't get the pair of them lost in the hallways of the Society.
He stopped a few paces from Elias' door, nodding to it in turn. "T-this one, I b-believe. If h-he's not in there.. well, I h-have a f-few more ideas." Hopefully he was, though. The more rooms he wandered to, the greater his chance of getting lost, and that wouldn't be fun for either of them.

Artemis briefly smiles at him in a warm way. "Thank you so much, Mister Prince!" He turns to face the door after this, and very cautiously knocks against the surface. There is no noise behind the door.
...
As soon as Artemis moves to knock again, annoyed and bitter grumbling sounds from within the room, as well as a few choice swear words. The door swings open a mere heartbeat later, to reveal a very sleepy and disheveled Elias, his unbothered hair even more unkempt than usual, several buttons on his undershirt done improperly. "I'm very busy, would you come back later-- "
He freezes up as his words escape him, his face paling at the sight of the two men. "A-- Arty? What-- how did you..." His throat closes and he slowly looks towards Richard. "Did you bring him? I don't underst-"
He is abruptly cut off as Artemis pulls Elias into a tight hug, small, happy giggles leaving his lips. "I absolutely knew it! I knew you'd be here!"

Richard very carefully kept his emotions from showing on his face despite the flashes of nervousness threatening to poke through at the conflict of emotions between the two brothers. In response to Elias, he merely nodded and retreated a few more steps, so as to not impose. He wasn't entirely sure if he should leave, stay, apologize for being a disturbance or some combination thereof.
It was easier to see they were related now that they were together, he thought. He was also fully aware his mind was trying to think of anything but the current situation.

Elias, too, lets out a small laugh, and though reluctantly at first, he accepts and returns the hug. Artemis twists to observe Richard, and suddenly grabs his hand, pulling him towards the embrace with a bright smile. "Thank you."

Richard froze for several moments as he fought off the waves of Nonononono and feelings of centipedes crawling through his skin that came with the sensation of an uninvited and unprepared-for touch. Eventually, though, he relaxed, and even allowed a small chuckle to escape. "A-ah. Y-you are w-welcome, o-of c-course."

Elias pokes his head out from the embrace and pulls away slowly, looking towards both Richard and Artemis. "How did you find me?" He fixes his gaze onto Richard, but it's unclear as to if he's addressing him or Artemis. "Did you know him or something?"

"H-he k-knocked. I answered. I d-did n-not know him u-until now." Richard gingerly stepped back and wrapped his arms around himself for half a second, trying to chase off the worst of the feeling. His hand twitched slightly, and he frowned in irritation. "Must you..?" He muttered.

Elias considers the answer, before being seemingly satisfied. "Oh, uh... right."

Richard shifted on his feet uncertainly, eyes darting away nervously, as they often did. "I-I.. What a-are t-the words.. It i-is a f-familial m-matter, I am n-not s-so certain, nor d-do I wish t-to intrude." He took a slight step backwards, wringing his hands behind his back. He reached a decision after another moment's thought and smiled softly. "I-I will l-leave y-you t-two to g-get.. r-reacquainted." With that, he turned on his heel and began to walk quickly down the hall, this time forgetting to hide the quiet thuds of his leg.

At least he feels bad for abandoning Elias. In fairness though the last time he was in a conversation with a long lost brother.. well. It was his brother. It didn't end well, because I had a plot I wanted to use XD

I laugh at the long lost brother thing, though. Arty doesn't have it in him to be bitter about Elias, and Elias doesn't feel any sort of moral confliction for doing it in the first place. They're both just chill that they're in the same place again. ))

-At that point in time, the young sexologist had been sneaking through the main hall of the large building, on her way to The Society's kitchen with an excited, yet nervous expression on her face.
But suddenly...a knock came from the main doors of the building...and she was frozen in place as she stared at the doors. She sighed to herself-
I wonder who it could tonight? -She thought to herself as she slowly stepped over to the doors...and then finally opened them as her eyes widened at who she saw-

-And those words quickly stopped her jumping, her cheeks going crimson as she looked away from the man-
Oh...i'm sorry... -She muttered out in embarressment-
But he is here. -She muttered with a small smile on her lips-

The man's expression grows serious as he offers a small smile. "It's alright. Could you help me find him, please?"

Well the last I saw him...he was in the infirmary...I haven't seen him since. He'll probably be in his own room.
-Rose said softly as she looked up at the taller man, thinking over where Elias could be within the large building-

(( Elias would've probably given her his room number. He literally like, only gave it to her and Richard. ))
His mouth forms a small, questioning "oh?", but no sound passes as he considers the infirmary visit. A grin takes its place soon after. "Alright! Do you perhaps know where that is?"

-She said as her expression suddenly brightened up, grabbing the man's arm as she ran through the building-
Hey! What's your name? -She shouted to the man-

The man stumbles in her grasp at first, but he soon lets out a joyful laugh and runs alongside her instead. "Artemis Geovanni, miss!"

Miss Rose Knowles! It's nice to meet you Artemis! -She shouted back happily with a wide smile-

He might still be in the infirmary! If not then he's already in his quarters! -She replied, as they finally arrived at the infirmary-
Fingers crossed. -Rose muttered-

Artemis carefully opens the door, sticking his head through the gap. When he pulls out, his smile remains, maybe slightly less enthusiastic. "He's not in here."

-Rose frowned for a moment, but her smile quickly returned, before pulling Artemis along, though this time she simply walked instead of ran-
His quarters should be nearby, Artemis. Are you and him on good terms...like friendly brothers or rival brothers? -She asked curiously-

"Rival?" He lets out an unrestrained giggle. "Oh, no, not at all! It has been a... good bit - years - since I have seen him, but I can hardly say that he left when we were on bad terms, even though he didn't think to notify us, it would seem!" He laughs fondly, his thoughts elsewhere. "I admit that I favored him among our siblings. Cannot recall a single instance of disagreement, really."
(( Artemis "too precious, thinks his brother just forgot to tell them he was leaving in the night" Geovanni. ))

Great to hear! -She said happily as they finally made it Elias's quarters, though she was quite nervous about it, her heart racing as she brought her remaining hand to the door...and then gently knocked-
Elias! Are you there? -She shouted nervously-

There is no response at first, until there is: that being, a very heavy thunk, followed by bitter swearing and mumbling. When the door swings open, it reveals a scowling Elias, whose shirt is practically half-buttoned and his overall appearance unkempt. "What do you want --"
His words quickly turn into confused babbling, and he looks between the two. "Arty -- how..."

Elias, albeit briefly, appears guilty. "Nono, it's --"
Artemis lurches forward and pulls him into a hug, and after a pause, pulls Rose into it as well. Though Elias doesn't hug back, he does accept it.
Artemis lets out a tiny chuckle. "Thank you, Rose."

-Rose giggled and hugged Artemis happily, and somewhat tightly. She was really starting to enjoy that more people were living in the building with her-
Yay! More friends for me! -She shouted happily. But from the corners of her eyes...she could see Elias smiling and quickly looked at him with a cheeky expression on her face-
Hey Elias! There's a smile on your face!

Elias offers a tiny smile, both waving to her. Artemis calls out, "Have a great day, Rose!"
Both men retreat into Elias' room, a conversation already having begun.

(( It's literally never going to be relevant to his character, like, ever, but he adopted the name Artemis, and male pronouns, after some Fun Street Incidents™ when he was 15 and has been acting as such ever since.
That would be the mentioning of his supportive family and the decisions he had made. ))

(sorry! :( NA doesn't want to play right now and she's being moody! Ugh! On the flip side I can't wait to see Arty and all of his interactions! :D ...You know what?! Darn-it Girl you are getting up and interacting with the world! You've been mopey and quiet for weeks move!)
*A bird comes and begins pecking and chirping at the window. The girl turns over trying to drown out the sound. It doesn't work. She stands up and thrust open the windows scaring the bird off.* JUST LEAVE ME ALONE WILL YOU!! *She screams at the bird flying off.*
