((I was trying to draw HW&HD Fluffmoon, I really was. I even looked up uniforms and everything.

Yet, somehow, I ended up with a tiny drawing of ickle baby Artemis instead, and the idea for Fluffmoon has vanished as though it had never been.

Because little!Artemis is Just That Cute.))

lilArtemis: *startled look up at him, blinking hard as his hards sting* ...Yeah? Y'think so? *has clever friend!*

lilHelios: *nods, straightening confidently - he thinks I'm clever!* Sure. I get stains like that out all the time. *as well as worse, but we'll not get into that.*

lilArtemis: *well, he must be clever! Artemis has no idea how you get stains out of clothes; they always seem to stick all the harder when he tries* Yeah? Y'mus' be really clever.

lilHelios: *shrugs one shoulder with an embarrassed grin* Not really, I just did what it said to do on the bottle... *...eeee!*

lilArtemis: *seems very distracted by the grass underfoot just then, wriggling uncomfortably* ...Can' read. *make that very, very clever.*

lilHelios: *looks surprised. He can't? But it's easy, you just...*

...I'll show you. S'easy.

lilArtemis: *looks dubiously up at him, unconvinced* 'M no' clever. *said as though stating something as simple as 'the Plate is big' or 'ShinRa's powerful'* 'Ve never been able t'. *he's not book-clever, he knows that*

lilHelios: I'm not either, really... besides, reading's fun. There's lots of stuff to read - about ShinRa and SOLDIER and all kinds of things.

lilArtemis: *again with the stating-the-obvious tone* Yeah y'are... *...books about SOLDIER? And ShinRa? Where?* *his eyes light up, and it's clear Helios just said the magic words* Wha' kinds o'stuff?

lilHelios: *shakes his head* Nuh-uh... *eee, something he likes!* Like newspapers. You read all about Sephiroth and Zack and everything...

lilArtemis: *bounces excitedly* Where'd y'get 'm? Can we get'm now? Show me? *squeak!*

lilHelios: I have some at - *at home. No, no, bad idea.* There are vending machines that sell them all over the place. *winces*

lilArtemis: *catches the wince, but knows enough about not wanting to bring people home not to ask.* Don' have any money, though... *frowns thoughtfully*

lilHelios: *confidently* I have a little. *he'd been saving up for candy, but this is better.*

lilArtemis: *lights up, then gives Helios a dubious sort of look* Y'sure? *someone wants to spend money on him? ...If indirectly?*

lilHelios: *nodnods* I get - I get money for doing work, sometimes. *if work = not telling the Boss Man exactly how much certain girls charge for certain deeds*

lilArtemis: *looks thoughtful for a moment - maybe Ma's be happier if he brought some money home - then shakes his head and beams at Helios* 'Kay, 'f y're sure!

lilHelios: *smiles back* *tugs him to his feet* C'mon, let's find a vending machine...

lilArtemis: *follows, brushing his trousers off with an absent swipe of his hand and trotting after him, as happy being led as leading*

lilHelios: *heart swells at being the one Artemis is looking up to, and pulls him close...*

lilArtemis: *hugs him without needing to think about it, beaming and snuggling for sheer happy-Artemis'-sake*

lilHelios: *...so that's what a hug is. It's... nice.* *keeps an arm around him as he trots along to the nearest coin-op newspaper stand* Look, there's the General on the front page. *points*

lilArtemis: *clings tight to Helios as he squeaks, eyes lighting up and bouncing on the spot* What's it say, what's it say? *excited!*

lilHelios: *spreads it out on the ground* It says... *squints at it* "Yesterday, General Sephiroth brought a decisive end to ShinRa's latest military campaign, breaking the back of Wutai's main force..."

lilArtemis: *...and Artemis whoops and dances him around, hugging Helios tight. Yay, the General won!*
