Artemis giggled and blushed at Thomas' comments. She looked down at the floor feeling her cheeks redden at the mention of being called cute.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(84, 172, 210)">"Well... I sorta was on patrol... it's my duty to protect you" </span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(209, 213, 216)">she mumbled happily. </span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(84, 172, 210)">"You do walk slow though</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(209, 213, 216)">" she teased and gave him a playful nudge.</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(209, 213, 216)">The aron already had her plate of food waiting for her. She unlinked her arm and went to sit at the table whilst the others got their food. She played with the food on her plate, her eyes always watching the pair as they spoke. </span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(84, 172, 210)"><i>Stop being so stupid... you are his guardian... he chose you first </i></span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(209, 213, 216)">she scolded herself but she still couldn't shake the bad feeling she had of Kiara. She placed her fork in her mouth, taking a bite of her food but proceeded to chew on the fork prongs long after she'd eaten. Crumbling them between her teeth. Maybe she was just hangry...</span><br/><br/>Artemis remained silent as the other's joined her. She was still chewing on the fork as she had lost her apptetite for anything else. From the corner of her eye she could see other trainers and gijinka's looking at them, including the bagon and larvitar from earlier. The girl felt small under their gazes and eventually pushed her plate away<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(84, 172, 210)">"I need to get some fresh air..." </span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(209, 213, 216)">she stated to no one in particilar, Thomas and Kiara seemed to busy conversing anyway. Picking up her spear and holding it's shaft tightly, Artemis headed for the door of the tavern and headed out into the woods.</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(209, 213, 216)">There was only one thing that cleared her head in times like this. </span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(209, 213, 216)">Training.</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(209, 213, 216)">Just her and and the open space. She didn't wander too far from the tavern. The golden lights from the frosted windows were always in view when she found herself somewhere to tuck away. It was dark, but the light of the moon reflecting through the trees guided her. She took a moment to collect her thoughts and draw a deep breath. She grasped her spear both hands and held it ready before slamming it down into the earth with all her might, her training regime beginning.</span>
