#atticus: asks

[amcrtentias]

atticus: if you could trade lives with any historical wizard or witch, who would it be?

"Well, I wouldn't really want to change with any historical wix - I like my modern conveniences too much," Atticus says with a laugh, "But, if I have to pick someone, maybe Montague Knightley? Then I might have half a chance at beating my aunt at wizards' chess..."

atticus: is there someone or something that you feel is missing from your life? do you know if there's any way to find it/them?

"I... no, not really," Atticus answers, looking almost sheepish to admit it. He doesn't mean to boast (and, Merlin, why does it feel like boasting to simply tell someone you're happy), but his is a rare case in which he is sincerely content with his life and everything in it. "It seems foolish to say, but at the moment, I feel like I'm on track to get everything I've ever wanted. I have a loving family, a beautiful fiancée, a fulfilling job... how could I ask for more?"

In fact, the only thing he can think of that would make him happier is having children of his own someday. But there's plenty of time for that - he and Niamh will have the rest of their lives together, so he doesn't see the need to rush.
