[i]a SEEMINGLY normal stroll through the courtyards[/i]
[b]Dojo, Main courtyard, the one bench Quincy always seems to be at.[/b]
The sun was slightly shining through the dark, snow-laden clouds. A gentle, but cold, breeze filtered through the trees and air in the main courtyard. Quincy sat on his usual bench, reading some book. Something was a little off though. Q was wearing clothes. Well, the fact he wore clothes wasn't a shock, he was just wearing more than usual. He wore large, spacious grey sweatpants that tightened around his ankles. He also wore a teal jacket that seemed a few sizes too big. His face seemed slightly leaner than usual, giving off the impression he wasn't eating much (but do keep in mind, its only an impression). There was also something different about his posture. Usually he sat straight up with his chest out, to keep his back from aching. Now, he was slouched on the bench, as if he was tired. The fur on his head seemed a little unkempt as well, like he let it grow out a bit to resemble hair (which it did) that went down between his ears and down his neck. Some of it also covered his face, but not much. He seemed too absorbed in his book to notice anyone possibly approaching him...

English
-
Snow gets up. "Ok, can we go there?"
-
[i]Artemis takes Snow's hand and leads her to a small sushi place. It looked rather run down and not too classy. The wooden sign on the front of the store read 'Genji's Sushi'.[/i] "Here we are!"
-
She looks at the store and smiles. "I haven't ever actually had sushi before. I mean, ive had fish before, just never with anything else."
-
[i]Artemis giggles.[/i] "It's great, trust me! I used to come here all the time and the owner would give me some free sushi because of my...situation. This time I can finally pay." [i]Artemis takes Snow into the the building and sits down at table.[/i] "Genji is a great cook."
-
Snow smiles broadly. She was very excited to try a new food. "Soo... what exactly happened? With your.. uh .. situation.
-
[i]Artemis shrugs to act like she's not excited, but it's obvious she is.[/i] "Y'know...I just fought my dad with a weapon a friend gave me and decided to stay here in the Dojo." [i]When she said 'weapon' she pointed to Gambol Shroud (I'm on mobile, just do a quick search to see it) on her back.[/i]
-
Her face beams. "Really? You fought your dad? And lived?!? Holly cow Artemis! That's awesome!" Snow was jumping up and down slightly, her ears and hair flopping around.
-
"I know!" [i]Artemis has a huge smile as she bounces in her seat.[/i] "I mean, he was weakened at the moment, but still! I can't believe I did it! And now I'm all cleaned up and fed and...y'know."
-
She hugs her tightly. "Im just glad youre ok now. I couldn't stand seeing you with all those cuts and wounds... It reminded me of... well... thats a story for later. So, is there like a menu or something?" She looks around for a menu.
-
[i]Artemis was about to speak, but got cut off by an old japanese man with a long white beard and no hair on his head.[/i] "Celebrating?" [i]Artemis nods to the man and he walks away. Artemis turns back to Snow.[/i] "I got it covered."
-
She nods. "Ok. Im good with whatever, just make sure its interesting!" She said, still smiling.
-
[i]Artemis leans on the table.[/i] "I completely forgot, but..." [i]Artemis looks around before whispering.[/i] "Don't you have a mate to help you? I could've sworn you mentioned one."
-
She blushes. "Y-yeah... Vorim... im sure he'll be able to help.. i just hope he wears a condom." She whispered it as well.
-
[i]Artemis giggles.[/i] "What? You don't want to be a mother?" [i]The old man comes back and places a large tray, covered with all kinds of sushi, on the table.[/i]
-
She blushes again. "Its not that i don't its just... too early, you know?" Her gaze turns to the various sushi.
-
[i]Artemis smiles and nods.[/i] "I'm just joking, Snow. I'm never having kids." [i]Artemis picks up random sushi with her hands and eats it.[/i] "Mmmm...salmon."
-
Her ears perk up. "Did you say salmon?" Her tail wags slowly.
-
[i]Artemis nods enthusiastically.[/i] "Yeah, dig in! What're you waiting for?!" [i]Artemis continues to eat at the sushi.[/i]
-
Her tail wags as she starts eating roll after roll. Her taste buds were practically exploding the sushi was so good.
-
[i]Artemis laughs at Snow's display of pleasure as she eats slightly slower than her.[/i] "The sushi is really good, right? Genji is awesome."
-
She nods while swallowing. "This is the best thing ive ever eaten!"
-
[i]Artemis seems pleased with how happy she has made Snow and plops another roll into her mouth.[/i] "My work here is done!"
-
She smiles. "Thanks for this. I don't know exactly what i did to deserve this besides give you some food and bandage some cuts. Seriously though, thank you." She started eating slower.
-
[i]Artemis' mood took a hit.[/i] "Well, yeah...you did feed me and heal me. I'm not sure if this really makes up for it."
-
She swallows and looks over at her. "You know I didnt mean it like that. And besides, the last time someone took me for food was....well, never. So this really means a lot. And don't worry about trying to pay me back, I helped because i wanted to."
