((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.))

lilHelios: *finds himself smiling as he runs alongside Artemis, their hands clutched tight together - racing, competing, but also staying together no matter what* *...likes the feeling*

lilArtemis: *has a few friends he hangs about with, on the rare occasions he can get away from his chores - he's fairly sure he won't necessarily see Helios again, but he likes the redhead already...he's fun.*

lilHelios: *is the only kid in the brothel, and while Sector 6 is the kind of place that encourages copulation, the resultant kids are almost always raised elsewhere. The concept of 'friend' is nebulous, faraway. ...Still. If he could see Artemis again, that would be... nice.*

Re: Eee! <3

lilArtemis: *is used to his friends being fair-weather or largely absent, so is automatically assuming Helios will be the same...* *still, today is fun, and that's what matters - it's not like he can get out regularly, anyway*

lilHelios: *is still clinging when he sees a spot of color ahead, garish-bright against the monotone sepia of the junkpiles* ...s'the church! *gasps*

lilArtemis: *eyes light up* C'mon! *darts closer, hand still reassuring-tight around Helios'* Look look, ain't they pretty?

Re: Eee! <3

[raisedbymoogles.livejournal.com]

lilHelios: *very, very much hopes that hand stays right where it is* *peers through the grimy windows and breathes out* Pretty...

lilArtemis: *isn't about to let go, no matter how confident he seems-!* Yeah... *stands there looking at it from a safe distance, peeking out of the mouth of an alleyway, then glances around with the air of an explorer* C'mon!

lilHelios: *hesitates, his fingers tightening* ...in there?

Re: Eee! <3

[apprentice-lurk.livejournal.com]

lilArtemis: *looks over - it's bright, for under the Plate; the flowers are pretty; there's no-one around...* Yeah! C'mon, it'll be fun! ^_^ *trots out confidently towards the flowers*

lilHelios: *clearly Artemis is determined to go over there, and if he wants to keep his new friend he'll be going over there too* *sticks close as a burr to Artemis's shoulder, eyes darting around him*

Re: Eee! <3

[apprentice-lurk.livejournal.com]

lilArtemis: *it's as safe as safe can be down here, look...dim, pale sunlight caught and held in flower blossoms, all the colours you could ask for, and so bright and green and lush compared to the dirty streets they're used to...* *holds Helios' hand tight, looking around them wide-eyed and delighted*

Re: Eee! <3

[raisedbymoogles.livejournal.com]

lilHelios: *clings to him tightly, but with every breath of cool, fresh air he's slowly forgetting to be afraid* *gazes with open wonder at the greenery, having never known green came so bright* *softly* It's so beautiful...

Re: Eee! <3

[apprentice-lurk.livejournal.com]

lilArtemis: *beams at him, eyes shining bright as the flowers around them* *just as softly, as though the flowers alone make this a hallowed place* Yeah...come in here t'sit by th'tree, sometimes, where th'flower lady can' see me. *wanders a little further in, looking around for the fluffy grass he wants...*

Re: Eee! <3

[raisedbymoogles.livejournal.com]

Helios: *follows, of course, sticking close and watching where he puts his feet - won't crush even the smallest blade of grass, not for all the gil in the world* Have you ever seen her?

Re: Eee! <3

[apprentice-lurk.livejournal.com]

lilArtemis: *nods emphatically, then squeaks with glee and leans over to try and get a hold of some fluffy grass. Eeee!* She's really tall, an' really pretty. She looks nice, bu'... *hint of a shrug*

Re: Eee! <3

[raisedbymoogles.livejournal.com]

lilHelios: *nods, understanding. You can never be too careful...* *reaches out to touch the grass* Soft...

Re: Eee! <3

[apprentice-lurk.livejournal.com]

lilArtemis: *grins at him* Jus' wait til I c'n ge' some o'this. 'S all soft an' fluffy an' tickly... *reaches, reaches, stretches a bit further - then loses his balance with a startled squeak and goes head-over-heels into the patch of scrubby grass*

Re: Eee! <3

[raisedbymoogles.livejournal.com]

lilHelios: *yeep!* *is yanked over with him, flopping on the grass all spinny-dizzy* ...heh.

Re: Eee! <3

[apprentice-lurk.livejournal.com]

lilArtemis: *grazes his little hands on the tough stalks, looking dolefully at the grass stains on his knees* Uh-oh. 'M in trouble.

Re: Eee! <3

[raisedbymoogles.livejournal.com]

lilHelios: *examines the stains professionally* Just a little bleach. Wouldn't be too hard to get 'em out.

Re: Eee! <3

[apprentice-lurk.livejournal.com]

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

Re: Eee! <3

[raisedbymoogles.livejournal.com]

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.*

Re: Eee! <3

[apprentice-lurk.livejournal.com]

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!*
