Callistophae had a rare day to himself. It wasn't often that he had time to just relax, get out of the manor and do the things that normal twenty one year olds did. Because of all that was currently happening in his family, and the fact that his mother was pregnant, Cal found that he'd probably be able to get away without anyone noticing and so evading his father, Cal managed to get out of the house and into the town. Though Andorra was not a terribly big place, thanks to what they had so far achieved, there was a fairly decent chunk that was inhabited purely by magical people. Cal waved to some of the younger kids. Most of the people his age had moved away, or gone travelling, something he would not be permitted to do for sometime until his father and mother found him a suitable wife. Cal didn't mind, he didn't want to ever be in that position where he falls for someone that he can not marry. At least if done this way, he would be allowed a mistress or two and whatever else he desired as well. Of course he still didn't know exactly how he wanted to live his life. Working with his half siblings was good though, it did give him access to the people he was supposed to be drafting into their cause, as all of his half siblings were less than pure. Cal had only one full sibling at the moment, with a second and likely last, on the way. It was so difficult to find families to be matched with these days, that Cal's parents limited their heirs to only the amount they would require. As it was, he was pretty sure that Cephelo had future wife already, someone his father a picked out in the crowd of children. Cephelo was the youngest after all and so he did not require a pureblood to carry the line. With that known, Theodre had chosen, Cal believed, a muggleborn, mostly because people were beginning to question the families motives and this had basically shut them all down. At least for now.
So many of his families rules had changed over the past couple of hundred years and Cal was positive that his forefather, Amrynn would be more than a little surprised by what they had done since. Cal disagreed with it all though. His family just hadn't been able to see the benefit of what they were doing. At the time, purebloods were so much more common and the magical world and muggle worlds were inclusive of each other, or so he had been told. It wasn't until much later, around the time of the statue that the attitudes had changed. It became somewhat of a game to his predecessors he thought, but they lacked a lot of foresight, because there just are not as many pureblood families now as there were centuries ago. Callistophae should know because it was his job to keep track of them. Most of the big names were in Europe and places such as Bulgaria or the UK, but he couldn't say he knew for sure, a lot about them. Historical records and timelines were a little wobbly with families like these because it was in their interest to write history as they wanted people to see and not how it actually was, so who could really say, if at all, how many of these pureblooded families were actually still pure. It was a lot for him to think about and so, deciding that he was leaving work where it ought to be left, Cal headed out into the crowd towards a shop, he didn't know what shop and he didn't care where it was, as long as he could stay there for an extended period of time and not worry about anything, it would be his favourite.
