-
He stutters, choking up. "I...i didn't do....". He's not able to talk as it comes out as a whimper and his ears go down as he takes a step back. Artemis was the closest thing he ever had to a friend, and her recent outburst stung him like a swarm of hornets.
-
[i]Iso notices Kari's body language and looks at him with understanding. Iso stops hugging Arty and instead holds onto her shoulders.[/i] [b]Iso:[/b] "Kari, has she been talking badly about herself?"
-
He nods, shaking a bit.
-
[b]Iso:[/b] "Arty, come on. You're an intelligent and pretty girl. Who cares about what your clan said about you?" [b]Arty:[/b] "I-I do?" [b]Iso:[/b] "Well, you shouldn't because I know Sasha, Kari, and I see you as a person of high value, isn't that right Kari?"
-
He nods, trying to talk, but is still shaken up.
-
[i]Iso whispers something to Arty and lets go of her. Arty tackles Kari to the ground in a hug. Arty buries her face in Kari's chest and continues to cry.[/i] [b]Arty:[/b] "I'm so sorry, Kari!"
-
He hugs her back as well, his breathing steadying. "I-its o-ok.. hap-pens all the time." he says, trying to smile, siffling now and then."
-
[i]Arty kisses Kari on the nose and blushes.[/i] [b]Arty:[/b] "I-I...j-just..."
-
He manages to control his emotions again. "Its...its ok.. I know what some werewolf clans do...and im sorry you had to go through that.." he says softly as he rubs her back gently, trying to calm her.
-
[i]Arty continues to get Kari's fur wet by crying on him.[/i] "I-I....th-they..."
-
He continues rubbing her back, patting her occasionally. "Ssshh.. i know.."
-
[i]Arty slowky stops crying and lays on Kari in silence.[/i]
-
Kari yawns, nuzzling her. It seemed he'd be there as long as she needed.
-
[i]Arty nuzzled her self under Kari's chin and whimpered.[/i]
-
He murred softly, hugging her gently.
-
[i]Arty's tail started to wag and her ears went back to normal as she gently squeezed Kari.[/i]
-
He smiled warmly. "Feeling better?" he asked quietly, but not whispering.
-
"Yeah...." [i]Arty moves her face so she's just an inch away from Kari and smiles.[/i] "I am now."
-
He smiles, rubbing noses. "Im glad."
-
[i]Arty maintaines eye contact with Kari.[/i] "So...."
-
He giggles. "Wanna go get something to eat?"
-
[i]Iso groans.[/i] [b]Iso:[/b] "Oh come on! She's face to face with you and you think of food? It's obvious what she wants!" [i]Arty slowly gets off Kari with a deep blush.[/i] [b]Arty:[/b] "Iso, drop it!"
-
Kari blushes as he gets up. "W-well we just met a few days ago! Im not just gonna up and kiss her! That would be impolite and untimely! B-besides, we're just friends.. i think."
-
[i]Arty:[/i] "Exactly!" [i]Iso giggles and pokes Arty's cheek.[/i] [b]Iso:[/b] "Whatever you say, Arty!" [b]Arty:[/b] "I'm serious and I told you not to call me that!"
-
He chuckles. "Well, im in a food mood. Anyone else?"
