[i]Arty punches Kari on the shoulder lightly as her face got redder.[/i]
"You can stop now."

-
"Stop what!?" he asked playfully, pushing her shoulder lightly.
-
[i]Arty gets slightly annoyed and rolls her eyes.[/i] "Why are you here anyway?"
-
"I came here looking for you, i guess. I dunno, it just feels like i didn't thank you enough. You know, even though i said it a thousand times. I didn't expect there to be this many people here though...what's going on exactly?"
-
"My friend Iso has reunited with a bunch of old friends and nearly died in the process."
-
He nods. "And they're celebrating? Well ok. So...how've you been?" he asks, rubbing his arm.
-
[i]Artemis nervously smiles.[/i] "You know...okay. You?"
-
"Yeah, ive been doing quite well actually. On a recent hunt, i took Mari with me. We managed to catch like, seven deer. We'll be eating well for a few weeks. Also, i met this guy named Jason who's been helping us out with food."
-
[i]Arty's smile gets wider.[/i] "That's great! I'm happy for you and your family."
-
His smile is quite broad and his eyes seem to gleam as laughs happily. "Thanks, and seriously, thanks for last time. We really enjoyed the sushi."
-
[i]Arty shrugs.[/i] "It was nothing, really. You can stop thanking me."
-
"Well, still, it really meant a lot, to them, and to me." he said, looking down shyly.
-
[i]Arty pushes Kari playfully.[/i] "Hey, wanna meet my friend Iso?"
-
"Uh, sure, i guess." he says, shrugging. He smiles at her, like he forgot to say something to her the last time they saw each other, but either couldnt remember what it was or was too nervous to say.
-
[i]Arty leads Kari to a dancing Iso.[/i] [b]Art:[/b] "Kari, this is Iso. Iso, this is Kari." [b]Iso:[/b] "Hi!" [i]Iso hugs Kari tightly like she normally does when meeting people. Arty's smile weakens from seeing them hug.[/i]
-
Kari, squirms, not the best with physical contact from strangers. "Oof- Uh, hi."
-
[i]Iso hops up and down in excitement, rubbing her chest area up against Kari. Arty was getting visibly annoyed.[/i] [b]Iso:[/b] "Hi, new friend! Kari is a fun name!"
-
He blushes, clearly a little uncomfortable as he tries to politely ending the hug. "Th-thanks.. Iso is a nice name too?"
-
[i]Iso ends the hug, but keeps her hands on Kari's shoulders and stays close to him.[/i] [b]Iso:[/b] "Thanks! So, how do you know my friend?"
-
"She helped my family out when we were in a pinch." he says, still a bit uncomfortable because of the contact.
-
[b]Iso:[/b] "Is that right? How caring of her! Arty is such a nice person!" [b]Arty: [/b]"I wouldn't go that far...."
-
"So.. uhm.. how do you two know each other?" he asked, not sure what else to say.
-
[b]Arty:[/b] "I use-" [b]Iso:[/b] "I was skipping down the street and saw her stealing from someone! I thought she could use a friend so I followed her around all day trying to get her to befriend me!"
-
Kari nods. He had presumed Arty had once been where he was, only possibly on her own. He figured since he had been stealing from bakeries he couldn't really judge her own actions. "Well, that was a very nice thing of you to do. I'm sure she needed a friend then more than ever."
-
[i]Iso hugs Arty and hops in place.[/i] [b]Iso:[/b] "Yep! And now she's not a criminal!" [b]Arty:[/b] "Uhh...you can stop the hopping." [i]Arty seems slightly uncomfortable.[/i]

Kari looks for something to distract the seemingly distractable Iso. "Uh.. hey, look over there, some guy is giving out free hugs." he says as points at some guy with a free hugs shirt.
