[i]She starts to cry again.[/i] "I'm a runt that can't continue the bloodline, that's why."
-
"Can't continue the bloodline? Are you sterile or something?"
-
[i]She shakes her head and covers her face in embarrassment.[/i]
-
"Then what's wrong with you? You're short? That ain't a goddamn reason."
-
"I-I can't..." [i]Her voice trails off.[/i]
-
"You can't what?"
-
"I-I c-can't turn...."
-
"Turn? What do you mean, turn?"
-
[i]Her face is completely red as she quickly screams out.[/i] "I can't turn into a wolf so there's no way of me ever getting a mate!" [i]She immediatley curls up on the floor again.[/i]
-
"Kid... What the hell? They hate you because you can't become a wolf to have sex with other wolves? That's... That's just fûcked up. And illegal. Highly illegal. I'm sorry, but I'm going to need to place everyone participating in that under NCR arrest. You need to take me to them."
-
[i]She shakes her head.[/i] "It's not what it seems. You've got it wrong. The clan would never allow underaged mating."
-
"Underaged isn't the problem. Beastiality is. That's one of the NCR's most enforced rules. I'm supposed to arrest people for it. It doesn't matter if you're an animal at the time, it still counts."
-
[i]Artemis starts to get extremely angry.[/i] "Are you calling us animals?!"
-
"The way you're telling me this makes it sound like you're having sex with other wolves as wolves. It sounds to me like it's random-ass wolves you find. If it's each other, that's fine."
-
[i]She calms down.[/i] "We only mate with eachother." [i]You start to notice the bruises, cuts, and scars all over her body, excluding the face.[/i]
-
[b]I am... Startled, to say the least. How the hell did I not notice these before?[/b] "Kid... What the hell happened to you? You're all beaten to hell. Here, let me help." [b]I take out some healing powder, and rub it on one or two of the cuts, and hand some to her.[/b] "Put this on the cuts and bruises. It'll heal 'em right up. My own special recipe."
-
[i]When leaning in you also notice how a lot of the cuts are infected. Artemis hands it back.[/i] "I don't deserve it."
-
"Jesus Christ, kid! Who did this to you? Nobody but those Legion bastards deserve this!" [b]The healing powder would take away the infections too, but damn... She was a mess. I continue the treatment whether she liked it or not.[/b]
-
[i]She quickly backed away.[/i] "I said I don't deserve it."
-
"Kid, whoever told you you don't deserve stuff like this is a goddamned fool. Even if your clan despises you, I don't. Let me help."
-
[i]She shakes her head.[/i] "I don't deserve your help. I tried to steal from you."
-
"If every person that did something bad to me didn't deserve my help then I'd have left my entire platoon to die once. I didn't leave them to die. I don't tend to hold grudges for petty stuff like that."
-
[i]Artemis' tail covers her face as she turns around and lifts her shirt. Three infected claw marks run down her whole back. The claws must've been massive considering the cuts.[/i]
-
"Jesus Christ! What the hell did they do to you? That's... That's fûcked up! Damn... Hold on. I've got something that can make you completely better, okay? Will you let me use it?"
-
[i]Artemis seems unsure as she puts her shirt back down and continues to cover her face.[/i] "I...I don't know."
