Slip, Slide and Slither?

[Artemis Tayern]

Artemis was up in the castle usually he was lower he wasn't scared of hights he just avoided them, he loved the dim damp dungeons and the secure feel they gave him. He was up on the fifth floor becasue he didn't remember how many sets of stairs he had gone up. During the recently ended break Art had reall increased his hall roaming to high amounts walking the halls of the castle his ice blue eyes pointed at the ground just walking. he was doing just that when he colided with someone. He muttered an apology, (Yes boys and girls you read correct an apology) and he started to walk away.

Nic looked at Artemis with a confused look on his face. The boy was bad news. A reincarnation of Reina though Reina was dead. So when he got an apology and the child was walking away Nic was concerned. Very concerned. "Uh, yeah. You aiight?"

[Artemis Tayern]

Art spun on his heels, his hair was getting too long, it covered his eyes and if he didn't cut it soon he might bee mistaken for a girl with shoulder lenght hair. He noted he had stumbled over Nic, " Eh, Nic I would say so."

[Nicolae Torque]

"Ya, sure, cuz I woulda swear you would be like Reina's little brother if it wasn't for like the race or whatever." Nic walked over to Artemis. "Artemis seriously you sick or something. Cuz you and Reina are really chummy and if ya sick and I didn't help ya... well that girl is really sick in the head and I don't want to come across her radar. Ya sure you good."

[Artemis Tayern]

" Eh nic, If I say I Think I'm Ok then I think I'm ok, and reina won't bother you over it." Art told nic, Nic was cool enough but he did tend to get annoying and otherwise frustrating but he was Nic. " What you doing this hish inn the castle?

[Nicolae Torque]

Nic sighed deeply. "Girls!" NIc paused and leaned against the wall stuffing his hands into his pocket. He had to respect the little guy. Nic suddently thought he knew the reason Reina got on so well with the little kid. He's the only one who stood up to her, tried to kill her, and tolerated her. It was funny. "You?"

[Artemis Tayern]

When Nic said girls Art responded with an "ah" and when nic asked him it was another simple responce, "Just walking nothing else really" Art hoped nic wouldn't pry because though nic was cool he got annoying when he decided to pry.

[Nicolae Torque]

Ahh and Nic was in one of those annoying moods. "Just walkin in a daze not payin attention to nothin. Sounds like you got alot on your mind lil cuz. Wanna talk bout it?" Nic waited. He was sure he could get the small fry to open up at least for a lil bit.

[Artemis Tayern]

" well Nic, whats on my mind is personal and I ain't gonna share it with you of all people." art said snappily He hated when thios happened but he was gonna protect his mind at all costs it was his only sanctuary that though breached by a couple of people, like Art's Dream,s of his Ftaher and Drew it was mostly entact and he hoped to keep it that way.

[Nicolae Torque]

Nic slowly backed up inwardly not physically. Maybe his personality was better matched for Reina and that's another reason why they got along so well. That's funny a firstie that Reina can't stand and a 7th year. Having only one year to get along and then they both gone Nic focused on the moment and pulled away from his thoughts. "Aiight, my b young cuz. Just tryin ta help ya feel me."

[Artemis Tayern]

Art found the sppech pattern annoying but like a good amount of people, when you spend time with someone you adopt their accent and their was of talk, Sadly. " Eh Nic, seriously no worries, I got it so just chill ok?" Art told Nic rather calm and cooly.

[Nicolae Torque]

Nic nodded though he doubted it. "Word as bond." Nic started walkin with Artemis. "Yo, let me ask you a serious question. Man to man. What da hell do you see in dat devil girl? How do you staaaaand her? Dat girl could wilt a flower. And I swear if she kisses ya," Nic shook his head. " dead on da spot. Seriously honey has some issues!"

[Artemis Tayern]

"Eh, Nic this is man to man and I'm gonna tell you something that don't leave these halls and is strictly between you, me and that very wall. If Diablo finds out or hears it I will Deny it at all cause, and attack you at the first opportunity." Art told the Ghetto-snake he then continued in his soft voice, it was barely a whisper and art was walking higher on his feet so he could lean up near nic's ear. ' i Honestly don't know, and I don't even know Seriously, its what i've been thinking about, why does she torture me, I just don't have a clue. hse makes me do things I don't wanna do. I was wondering if you would gimme a hand if i need a way away from the devil-girl."

[Nicolae Torque]

Nic stared at Arte for a long moment. "Word?" But the kid looked too seriously for it to be a joke and he was only a firstie. "Ya know I knew Reina waaaay back in da day. I had an aunt who lived in Florida and dats how I met Reina. She was friendlier back then. I don't know what made her so mean. I guess da best way is be upfront with Reina. Be blunt. She's dat type of girl. No matter what just speak yo mind. Besides the worst she could do is kill ya right?" Nic wasn't sure if that helped.

[Artemis Tayern]

"Well nic i honelty haven't a clue what the worst she can do is." Art was talking as seriously as if he were speaking to the person who would kill him. He was scared of Diablo no two ways about it, outright fright like a rabbit cornered by a fox.
