Sparks flared from the wires Engrav had just twisted into a bundle. Some got onto his hand, and he pulled it back quickly. He swore quietly and sucked on his burnt fingers. The yellowblood hated rewiring, but it was important to change up your security every once in a while, especially if you'd been having... uninvited... guests lately. And Engrav was certainly careful if nothing else. Now he just had to work on the back ups to protect from surges, and make sure that power would be rerouted if it was cut. Generators should kick in automatically if he was removed from the grid, and the house would go into lock-down. He sighed, then turned to the backup grid.

He was interrupted by the quiet beeping of the perimeter alarm in his ear.

"Oh come on! I was almost done here!" Engrav pulled out his little handheld and flipped it on, checking his alerts. Yup, someone had tripped the south gate and was casually strolling towards the house. Couldn't tell who it was on the tiny screen though.

"Morrimom!" he yelled through the handset. "Hey, take a look and tell me who is coming to the house. Should I be worried?" There was a moment of silence, then an aggravated caw. "What do you mean it's the gullible one? Is that... Oh, it's CAIDEN. Um. I guess I should let him in, huh? I've been meaning to talk to him anyway. Gotta talk to that wiggler about his info."

There was a buzz as Caiden pressed the call button on his front door. Engrav stared for a second as the brownblood babbled to himself, then called down to him through the handset. "Get inside before someone sees you, Caiden! We're not even supposed to know each other. I'll be down in a few minutes, just make yourself comfortable." He unlocked the front door, then relocked it when he was confident the brownblood had entered.
