The Craftsman 85 Preparations

Andromeda blushed fiercely while Gram went slack jawed at the comment. Gram quickly regained his composure and said "Thank G.o.d, you two are perfect for eachother!"

Andromeda blushed even harder before running into the castle with what seemed like smoke coming out of her ears. Daedalus laughed at the funny scene with Gram.

After laughing for a bit Gram turned to Daedalus with a super serious look on his face before saying "Daedalus, if you hurt her, I will kill you! Understood!?"

Daedalus gulped nervously and said "Of course master!"

Gram glared at Daedalus and said "Not master, father in law!"

Daedalus took a step back and shouted "Yes, father in law!"

As he finished shouting there was a small sound from the front door of the castle as Andromeda fell on her face. Daedalus ran over and helped her up while saying "Are you all right?"

Andromeda just blushed harder before running back into the castle. Daedalus smiled wryly before continuing to talk with Gram about the party.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few days later, Daedalus and Andromeda where preparing themselves for their journey during the summer. Gram walked in and said "Just remember to be careful you two and Daedalus, protect my daughter!"

Andromeda blushed but clearly not as hard as a few days earlier before saying "Dad! We can protect ourselves well enough. You don't need to remind us every other second!"

Daedalus nodded in agreement before Gram replied "I am just worried, ok. My precious little girl is running off for the summer with a boy!"

Daedalus and Andromeda blushed before saying in unison "Stop it!"

Gram sighed before nodding and leaving the room. Daedalus and Andromeda then continued to pack as many herbs and plants for alchemy as they could.

As they finished packing their things Daedalus and Andromeda left the now barren craft room and began making their way towards the front door. Along the way they met up with Gram, they took their time walking towards the door and saying goodbye to Gram.

Reaching the door Gram brought the two in for a hug and said "Just remember to come back alive."

Daedalus nodded and said "No worries, father in law."

Gram smiled and Andromeda blushed like the deepest crimson fire before playfully punching Daedalus. Daedalus and Andromeda then left the castle while waving at Gram.

As they got far enough away that they could not see Gram they began talking about where to go. Daedalus said "Why don't we go to the kingdom of Elantra? I heard they have some good food and a unique style of craft!"

Andromeda seemed to think for a while before saying "Yeah let's go there!"

Daedalus smile and grabbed her hand. Andromeda blushed a little but did not pull her hand away.

Daedalus waved down a carriage and said "Could you please take us towards the main gate?"

The driver nodded and said "Yeah sure, it will cost you five silvers."

Daedalus and Andromeda then got into the carriage and began a short ride to the main gates.

Arriving at the gate Daedalus and Andromeda smiled excitedly at the on coming journey.
