Mizuno Ami is sitting cross-legged on her bed, working on a sewing project. She seems experienced as she deftly nudges the needle through the cloth.

The stress builds up on a cat, you know?
And now Minako's wailing along to some bad pop song? This won't do. He stumbles into Ami's chambers, blinking blurrily around, then coughs to catch her attention. "Minako! I'm trying to sleep! Can you turn that racket..."
...Wait. That wasn't Minako. That was... Someone he didn't know. After a quick look down to make sure that Ami hadn't finally carried through on her threats to have him clipped, he licks his hair down, then moves to sit near Dark Ami's knee with an imperious "Mow."

"This is interesting," she says. "Did you find your way here alone, Artemis?" She's very interested, in fact, and even turns the music down to be able to hear his answer.
After all, Artemis without Venus would be a rare sight for her; not precisely unheard-of, but strange enough to merit the question. And it's definitely smarter to feel out the situation before kicking him like she was tempted to at first. Consider it reflexes.

He smiles suddenly, or as best as a ~space cat~ can, and nods. "What, you think I can't wander around by myself?" He reaches up to place two paws on her chair. "I'm a cat, I'll have you know."

[smiles, then blinks. Wait. Ami with brown hair? And wearing that? Something told her she was, in fact, back in that strange place she had briefly come to, along with her friends and even some of her teachers. Her head tilts sideways, and she smiles again]
Ah, I see. A different Ami, right?
[note that she is speaking perfect English. By now it may be apparent which Makoto she is speaking to]

Ami's words, too, come in English. She glances back to her project and makes a few more stitches along one of the sides.

Wearing a plain black blouse and slacks, she shoves her hands into her pockets and leans against the door frame. ]
Is this homework?

"Good afternoon, Black Lady!" She glances down at the paper in her hand, and nods after a moment. "Mm. This is what I'm studying right now."

Good afternoon. I don't think I've seen you like this.

Ami sits back down; there are plenty of spots for Black Lady on the bed by Ami, on the floor, or in a chair.

"Should I be honored by your visit?"

Of course. But, pray tell, Mercury? Have you found a liking of the master?
[He's teasing of course, but heaven help if she says yes... That's a headache he does NOT need.]
