((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.))

I think what your ma means is that your Da wasn't the one who got her pregnant with you. Which might be true, but it's hardly all that important, is it? ;)

lilArtemis: *can't quite hold back a sniffle* Bu' - bu' dun' tha' mean he won' wanna play wi'me anymore if she tells Da tha'? *scared, pleading look up at you*

[raisedbymoogles.livejournal.com]

.....*snuggles him close* Not at all, sweetheart. Your Da loves you. That's a bigger and better thing than anything else in the world. *and ArtemisDa, you better not make a liar out of me or else...!*

lilArtemis: *clings close and snuggles back, letting a few hot tears escape. He'd been worrying at that and getting more and more worried since Ma'd said it...*

[raisedbymoogles.livejournal.com]

*murmurs and snuggles close, stroking his hair. Safe now, little one...*

lilArtemis: *strangled little noise in the back of his throat, eyes shut tight* *clings..!*

[raisedbymoogles.livejournal.com]

*is here for the clinging, always* *strokes and skritches and hugs*

[apprentice-lurk.livejournal.com]

lilArtemis: *hhh* *hhh* *clings-!* *squeezes his eyes shut and tries not to make any noise*

[raisedbymoogles.livejournal.com]

*rubs his back comfortingly* S'okay, sweetie, go ahead and let it out, I'm here and I won't let anything hurt you...

[apprentice-lurk.livejournal.com]

lilArtemis: *to his dismay a sobbing wail escapes as tears soak into your shoulder; can't stop his breathing getting more erratic and his shoulders shaking...*

[raisedbymoogles.livejournal.com]

*hums and holds him close, safe and warm and cling-able* That's right, little one, go ahead and cry, you're safe now...

[apprentice-lurk.livejournal.com]

lilArtemis: *sobbing gasp for breath, skinny chest heaving as wracking sobs shake him, wan' my Da-!*

[raisedbymoogles.livejournal.com]

*can't give him his Da, not like this - can only give him hugs and soft reassurances and hope that's enough*

[apprentice-lurk.livejournal.com]

lilArtemis: *wan' my Da, wan' Da...* *hides his face in your shoulder and tries to muffle the noise, red-eyed and shuddering as he cries*

[raisedbymoogles.livejournal.com]

*nuzzles his hair and hugs him close... I'm sorry, lil'un, I wish I could do more...*

lilArtemis: *snuffles* *hic* 'M - 'm gon' b-be a SO-SOLDIER when I get big. 'M gon' be a SOLDIER wi' Da. 'N he'll stay home.

[raisedbymoogles.livejournal.com]

That'll take a lot of hard work, love. It's not easy to get in SOLDIER. *smiles and pets his hair* But I know you can do it.

[apprentice-lurk.livejournal.com]

lilArtemis: *scrubs his eyes fiercely, sniffing hard and looking up at you determinedly* 'M-'m gon' be th' best S-SOLDIER after th'General an' - an' Zack.

[raisedbymoogles.livejournal.com]

No doubt in my mind of that. *cuddles!* You've got the strength of heart already.

[apprentice-lurk.livejournal.com]

lilArtemis: *gives you a watery smile* Y-Yeah? *cuddles close, tucking his head against your shoulder again* *clings...*

[raisedbymoogles.livejournal.com]

Yeah. *smiles back and snuggles and keeps him safe...*
