Artemis made a sweeping bow and got down on one knee as "he" extended "his" hand to Achima.<br/><br/>"If I may, Princess," "he" declared as "he" took her hand.  Okay, so Sara was laying it on a big thick, but she was having a lot of fun.  And Aiko seemed to be playing along, though Sara sensed a<em>little</em>bit of reluctance in her friend's actions.  She wondered if it was because Aiko knew that Artemis wasn't actually a guy.  Japanese people could be hard to figure out sometimes.  They relied so heavily on indirect communication.  Sara loved their culture, but the subtleties could be frustrating at times.<br/><br/>Rising to "his" feet, Artemis turned to survey the surrounding area.<br/><br/>"Why don't we head over there next?" "he" suggested, pointing towards some nearby hills with "his" spear.  Sara figured the area might have some nice scenery.
