"Well, we could go into town and I'll pay for your family to have a fulfilling meal. I was once in the same situation with food, so I understand."

"Im not on the greatest terms with too many people in town at the moment..." he looks away as he rubs his neck. "I really screwed it up here, didn't i..." he mumbles to himself quietly.
-
[i]Artemis seems curious.[/i] "What did you do?"
-
"I may or may not have stolen food from a lot of bakeries... i didnt want to make people too mad so i only took small and easy things to make...It didnt work..news has spread a "giant orange beast" will probably try to get at the bakeries and meatshops again so if i go back ill likely be killed.."
-
[i]Artemis laughs.[/i] "That's ridiculous! Come on, if you bring the family and have me by your side nothing will go wrong. We can go to this great sushi place I know."
-
"Sushi? You know what, nevermind. Food is food." He sighs. "Ok...but nothing better happen to them." He turned to go get his family. "ill be back shortly.." When he came back, he was followed by two 3'5" werefoxes, one wearing a deerskin dress and the other a simple loincloth as he didnt have much fur on his belly or legs yet. Also behind him was a 5'4" werefox, his other younger sister, also clad in a deerskin dress. In his arms was a frail-looking werefox with longer fur then any of them, wearing an old, woolen coat. "Welp, meet Grandma, Mari, and the kits. (a kit is a baby fox). Im Karishad by the way."
-
[i]Artemis waves with a smile.[/i] "Hello, I'm Artemis! Don't worry, I'll get you food."
-
They all still look a little nervous...or maybe it was hunger. Either way, they all looked at Kari to see what he did. He simply nodded to them as if to say, "Relax, we're safe." "Ok, i think we're ready to go." he says.
-
"Follow me." [i]Artemis leads them to the town and into Genji's sushi restraunt.[/i] "This is a great place, trust me."
-
They all enter one by one, all looking nervous.
-
[i]Artemis sits down at a table and gestures the family to do the same.[/i]
-
They all take up seats at a big table. The smaller ones all sitting together as Kari helped his grandma sit down in a chair. "Thanks for doing this, by the way." Kari says.
-
[i]Artemis shrugs.[/i] "I know what it's like to starve, so this is my way of giving back."
-
He nods, sitting. "So what kind of food is this?"
-
"Raw fish with rice and...I don't really know all of it." [i]A waiter drops off a large tray of sushi without saying a word.[/i]
-
The younger three just stare at the sushi in wonder. Grandma: "I do recall eating something like this when i was younger.." Kari: "You do? How come we've never heard?" Grandma: "It was a long, long time ago."
-
[i]Artemis giggles.[/i] "Well? Dig in!"
-
The younger three curiously sniff around the platter at first, and then they start working on around two rolls at a time. Grandma goes for a normal looking one and begins chewing slowly, and Kari seems to be waiting for everyone else to finish a few rolls before actually eating one himself.
-
[i]Artemis eats some tuna and salmon.[/i] "I hope you're all enjoying the food."
-
The little ones nod, all looking quite happy. Grandma nods also, currently chewing. Kari swallows so he can talk. Kari: "Honestly, i don't know what to say, we've eaten raw fish before, but not served like this!" He holds a roll to emphasize. "This is probably the kindest thing anyone's done for us in years."
-
[i]Artemis blushes slightly and gets a little jittery.[/i] "W-Well, it just l-looked like you needed help and umm..." [i]She starts to play with her tail.[/i]
-
He giggles, his laugh quite childish. "Yeah? And what?" he asks with a smile, happy his family was being fed properly and thankful someone was helping them.
-
[i]She blushes more.[/i] "...and you seem like nice people...."
-
He smiles warmly. "Well thank you Artemis, not too many complement us either."

He eats another roll, not knowing he was still looking at Artemis. Grandma: "Well aren't you two cute." she says, more or less third-wheeling.
