Please--

[The NV is being held in unsteady hands, Artemis's pale fingers blocking much of the would-be video.]

Please, I can't--

[He's distressed, his thought jittering and discordant, overlapping one another to create a strange thrum of sound, familiar to what has been heard before. He lifts his NV, a small pink orb, as if to ward off some

[ rabbit's already pulling on his coat, expression annoyed and movements jerky with clear irritation. ]

Stupid boy! Don't just bloody well stand there if they're bothering you! I'm coming to get you, and the rest of you just leave him the hell alone! Bunch of vultures.

Put your back against a wall, then, and stay there. Tell me where you are and I'll be there as soon as I can.

[He nods meekly, just offers,]

Near the auctionhouse...

[Not the nicest of neighborhoods, but he tended to wander a number of places he shouldn't have been.]

[ he doesn't take long to find artemis, and despite his small, slender stature, he easily pushes through the small crowd, shoving people away with the hilt of his blade when they won't move. ]

Artemis! [ he shoves a woman back, then takes the blond by the elbow, his ears flattening back. ] Time to go.

action.

[Perhaps it was something Artemis should have done himself. He could have shoved them back, what he lacked in size he made up easily in psionic power. None of them could have touched them, if he had merely raised a barrier between them to ward the mewling worshipers off. But he has resisted the use of powers since he has been here, he certainly did not want to demonstrate them to these people.]

just get away...

[There's a tremble around the edge of his thoughts, overwhelmed with fear. He had never wanted to be praised for miracles again.

He keeps close to Rabbit's back, cringing away from the few who continue to reach for him.]

Look, Artemis, you have to learn to stick up for yourself.

[ rabbit's voice is matter-of-fact, but he slides a protective arm around the immortal's waist, anyway, ducking them down a side-street, then an alleyway, losing the last of the crowd and finally allowing their pace to slow, then stop. once he's sure no one else is coming to find them, he turns to look the blond over with a critical pink eye, ears twitching. ]

.. You're not hurt, are you? None of them pushed you or tried to scratch or cut you?

action.

[dontdrinkthe]

[He refuses to meet the Rabbit's eye, staring at the concrete with his shoulders hunched. He shakes his head.]

I'm all right. They never listen. They only care about themselves.

[He was familiar with it, and thoughts of fate an inevitability make his stomach churn.]

I shouldn't be here.
