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.
-
[i]Artemis' face immediatley looks to the ground and her tail covers up her huge blush.[/i] "Wh-What are y-you talking about?"
-
Grandma just munches on another roll as she chuckles to herself, being all Grandma-like and not explaining. Kari seems to blush a little himself as two spots on the white part of his face turn slightly pink-ish. "Grandma, was that really necessary?" She continues chuckling.
-
[i]Artemis just stares downwards, glancing up at Kari's eyes with her beautifle, bright, and sparkly blue eyes for a few seconds before looking down again.[/i]
-
Kari smiles as he looks down at his food with his reddish brown eyes. He picks up a roll that seems to be covered in various spices and sauces (the equivalent of that once really, really, REALLY, spicy roll). "I wonder what this one tastes like..."
-
[i]Artemis chuckles, knowing what's to come.[/i]
-
"What's so funny about sushi?" he asks, smiling. He opens his mouth and pops the roll in. After a few moments of chewing he gets an odd look on his face. He swallows. "My mouth feels funny....OH GOSH! What was in that roll!?!" He quickly downs several glasses or water.
-
[i]Artemis laughs so hard she falls out of her chair and rolls on the ground.[/i]
-
Kari sets his head back as he pants, his tongue a little red. "Gyyaahhh...hooot..."
-
[i]Artemis continues to laugh.[/i] "You had no idea!"
-
Kari's grandma chuckles to herself and the three just watch, still nomming on sushi. Kari: "No..-pant pant pant- i did not... -more panting-"
-
[i]Artemis sits back down with a smile.[/i] "That was so cu-funny! Funny! Hehehe..." [i]Artemis chuckles nervously.[/i]
-
He chuckles as well, pretending not to notice as he pants. He downs half another glass of water until talking. "That was -burp- spicy."
-
"Yeah, sorry. I should've told you about. Kari was it?"
-
"Yeah, my full name's Karishad though. And no worries, i enjoyed the spice. I dont get to eat exotic foods often."
-
[i]Artemis takes a few sips of water.[/i] "So, what brings your family here?"
-
"We're somewhat nomadic, we travel around a bit. I was scouting a few caves around the mountain range around here when a cave i was in collapsed and crushed my leg. Some nice fellows found me and brought me to the Dojo's infirmary. Sooner than later i was back on my feet. It took me a day or two to find my family again, but we've managed to mostly stick together... mostly anyhow..." his voice becomes a little saddened. A pretty interesting though to ponder would be 'gee, whats this kid doing taking care of his three siblings and grandma by himself?'.
-
[i]Artemis hesitantly asks.[/i] "Why are you alone taking care of three siblings and your grandmother?"
-
He sighs. "I've been taking care of them for say, maybe six years now... my parents...they..well...long story short they aren't here..."
-
[i]Artemis' ears go down.[/i] "I'm sorry, Kari. I bet they were great parents and would love what you've done for your family."
-
He sniffles. "Th-thanks... i like to think i honor them by taking care of everyone else.."
-
[i]Artemis smiles at Kari in a comforting way.[/i] "You guys can leave if you're done eating. I'll stay and pay."
