She let out a laugh and shook her head. "Yes, one question of the absolute truth. No, not a requirement for conversation." She didn't want to stop the conversation just because the serum ran out. But she wanted him to be aware that it would be their last with the absolute truth. The conver...

The serum was working against her in that last answer. But she couldn't take it back, she knew the risks going into this and she chose to work through them. Love...what in the bloody hell would she do with love? She tried to look past it but it was there, rooting itself in her mind. Love...what a fu...

She knew that he noticed her comment about her empty home, but that wasn't the struggle. The struggle was when he would use it against her. Artemis was well aware that people collected information and used it against them later. Merlin knows she had done it a time or two. "Well, I am waiting fo...

She scoffed and shrugged her shoulders. "Valid point. But you seem so confident in your answers." She smirked and leaned back in her chair once more. He wasn't easy to get a rise out of, that was impressive and she rather liked his reactions to her questions as well as her ploy to see just...

She sat back and listened to his answer. It wasn't...no. That didn't make sense. "What if it's both? What if they were forced into it but took pleasure in it as well?" She took in a deep breath. "You don't have to answer that, it's not my turn. Just...your logic isn't always on point ...

She let out a laugh and really looked at him to see if he was serious. When she caught on that he was serious her smile faded. "Ah, so you're that knight in shining armor trying to help everyone." She sighed and shook her head trying to grasp exactly what he was about. Did he really care t...

Fair? He wanted to discuss what was fair and what was not. Perhaps part of the reason she was so quick to shut down the question was because, in a sense, she cared about what he thought. Maybe it really had little to do with the fact that he could turn her in, and more to do with the fact that if he...

She shrugged her shoulders at his bold statement of them being accusatory. "I just call them as I see them." And because she spoke with experience. She thought of herself as the same, vigilantly so to speak. Taking the law into her own hands. "Well, your career change, I suppose is ad...

A hit wizard? Well, that explained quite a bit indeed. It sounded all too familiar except he was on the other end of the spectrum compared to Artemis'. She could understand exactly where he was coming from, but was it too soon to tell him as much? "I see...So you started by bringing dark wizard...

She watched as he took the drop on his tongue as well. She reached for the vial and slid it back into her pocket before listening to the first question he had for her. "It is in part due to my job, yes, the other part is, people are dirty. They are always scheming to find a way to better themse...

"Ahh, so no cake, or ice cream huh? Shame because those are some of my favorite foods." She smiled at him and it was the first time in a long time that she had actually smiled at someone. Or in this case, because of someone. "Chicken..." She took the potion and opened her mouth,...

She grinned and shrugged her shoulders at his curiosity when it came to her job. She tilted her head and reached up and touched her nose. "Oh my." She rolled her eyes at herself and let out a small laugh. "Hazards of whipped cream coffee, I suppose." She wiped the cream off her n...

She grinned at him and shrugged her shoulders. "Just something I carry around in case I need it. Job security if you will." She shrugged again and looked down at her coffee. "Now this is perfect." She picked it up and took a long sip leaving a little whipped cream on her nose wit...

It was probably better that they didn't remember each other in school. Artemis wasn't exactly the clean-cut girl that he probably takes to bed anyway. Not to mention, she might talk to him today if she had known him then. "Just being honest. I don't say things just to get into someone's pants, ...

She watched as he stood up and made his way to the counter. Once he was up from his chair she smirked to herself and remoistened her lips with her tongue. He walked back to the table and took a seat across from her once more. "Ah, well that indeed does make sense. Besides, there is always time ...

Artemis smirked and gracefully crossed one of her legs over the other. She picked up her coffee cup and tipped the rest into her mouth before setting it down and sliding it to the edge of the table. "Yes, same as before. You should get yourself some as well, we could be here a while." She ...

"Don't worry, doc, I won't hold the fact that you're a shrink against you." She shrugged and looked down at her almost empty coffee cup. What kind of information did she trust people with this early on in the 'relationship' is that what he called it? It was laughable. Artemis didn't have ...

He really saw himself as a hero of sorts. Perhaps he was in his own mind, Artemis didn't see the benefit of it all but then again, she hadn't actually given it a try nor was she willing to let someone in like that. It was a hard road for someone to gain Artemis' trust to even be friends with her, le...

She scoffed and shook her head slightly. "Now now, Mister Aidan, don't get a big head on me now." She frowned slightly before shrugging her shoulders. "Bad is up to intrerpretation. Sort of like beauty being in the eye of the beholder." Artemis leaned forward towards him slightly...

She nodded and took another sip from her coffee. Perhaps she should have gone all out with the frills now that she was talking with this random man. "Hmph, had I known I would be sitting here talking with you, I might have gone with the frills." She grabbed a packet of sugar from the table...

A smirk played at her lips as she listen to him explain on what days he would have the sweetened drink. She couldn't argue there. "Alright, Fair enough. Suppose I can't argue that, as I too have done the same thing. Today is a day of no frills but perhaps tomorrow I'll really frill it up and ge...

Artemis couldn't be bothered by people's staring and studying her. Not that she minded being analyzed but an attractive male but, the point of it was she was quite uninterested in any sort of male attention. Her outfit drew lots of stares, comments, and rather irrational fear of her. Well, she suppo...

Artemis had a bad run-in with one of her former clients and it was starting to get to her. They demanded this and that, even after she told them that there would be no further contact after their contract. The job was starting to take its toll on her, both physically and emotionally. Most people wou...

If only Mal knew exactly how Artemis was, he would quite agree that she could stand to be humbled. However, it wasn't like she was going to give away all of her secrets to a man she had just met. To be quite frank she didn't give her secrets to anyone. She nodded at his comment about waiting a while...

If the breakfast was as good as it all sounded she would most definitely be back on another day when she could try more. But today it was about sleeping after a hard night's work. She wanted a full belly and perhaps an interesting conversation before sleep. It was all turning out in ber favor so far...
