She giggled a little.
"Im talking about that really peaceful place with the lake and the bench. Remember? When I bandaged you up?"

[i]Artemis laughs a little and nods.[/i] "Yeah, I remember that place. Good times?"
-
"Better times. I think..I mean, no invasions went on, so I guess it was more peaceful." she said with a mild laugh.
-
[i]Artemis weakly laughs.[/i] "Yeah, I guess."
-
"So, how are things with you? Its been a while and, well, I haven't heard from you that much."
-
[i]Artemis shrugs and plays with her hair a little.[/i] "...Umm...Not much really. I was really upset for a little while, but...it's fine."
-
"Well, why were you upset?" Snow asks in an almost motherly tone.
-
"It's nothing, Snow. So, have you decided on a name for your kid?" [i]Arty tries to change the subject.[/i]
-
"Arty, until we see if its male or female we cant pick a name. And dont go and try changing subjects on me, my memory's screwed up enough."
-
"Well, have you thought of names at least?" [i]Artemis gives a convincing smile to Snow.[/i]
-
"Arty, I can tell when something is bothering someone. If you were fine with it you'd be okay with talking about it." Snow said, her voice firm.
-
[i]Artemis makes herself look confused.[/i] "What are you talking about? I was just asking if you've thought of possible names for your kid."
-
"Arty. Im a telepath. I know you know what I'm talking about."
-
[i]Artemis genuinely gets terrified.[/i] "You're in my head?!"
-
"No. But i can sense things. I'm no monster..I wouldnt just invade your mind...without asking.."
-
[i]Artemis sighs in relief.[/i] "I forgot you could do that for a second."
-
"Now come on, whats the matter."
-
[i]Arty's ears fall flat and she hugs her tail.[/i] "I....I-I may....I tried t-to....I tried to commit suicide multiple times."
-
Snow's ears flatten as her tail almost freezes, little shards of ice forming in her fur. "Oh...Are...Are you okay? Why would you..why?" she asked softly, scooting closer as she became empathetic.
-
[i]Artemis scoots away an equal distance and looks the other way.[/i] "I-I'm...fine. S-Snow, lets drop it."
-
Snow whimpered quietly, concerned anyway. "You're sure you're okay..?"
-
"I....That doesn't matter, Snow. Lets move onto something of more importance or something happier."
-
"O-okay...So...its actually nice out today." she said, gesturing to the rather splendid day.
-
[i]Artemis nods slowly and looks around, still not facing Snow.[/i] "Y-Yeah, it is."
-
Snow silently scoots next to her, wrapping her tail around her. "C'mon Arty..lemme see...Would you like coming to dinner with me and Vorim tonight? Im making lasagna and ceasar sallad."
-
[i]Artemis leans on Snow and covers her face with her fluffy tail.[/i] "I-I don't deserve it, Snow."
