They spent the greater part of the day outside of the Dead Nicholas building of all things, a treehouse. Kapri loved to visit the masterpiece that the Short Swords had created and even more so, enjoyed the chiming chatters of the children within it. That wasn't however, to be confused with a desire to have children of her own.

Billy Ray laughed at her mention of wanting to build the treehouse, but finished with a "If it will amuse you Babe, I'm game" response. She went to their room and changed into a cut up shirt old shirt and a pair of cut off shorts, both of which emphasized just how muscular she really was under all that leather.

She then hit up the very good sized Gideon Mars to help her saw some wood. She'd found a perfect tree, it was close to the main roadway so kids could play easily within ear shot of their folks place and it was far enough from the Dead Nicholas so as to not discourage the less "friendly" type of patron. It was a giant oak tree right outside of their office window. It was really Billy's office but she'd been using it a great deal in the recent days
preparing ideas in the event she should be victor of the Overlord match.
