Artemis looked over as Dáire’s voice came from the doorway. Jourin let him slip by and into the room. Artemis gave the Kerasokan a brilliant smile. "I’d love to know what kept you from me, but another time," he said with a chuckle before returning his attention to the matter at hand. “Jour...

“I do, born and raised here. As for time at the docks, not if I can avoid it. Though I like to keep apprised of the occasional comings and goings of interesting folks. You seemed to fit the bill, even before you got yourself into a scuffle.” Artemis chuckled to himself and enjoyed a long slow drink...

Artemis felt a minor twinge of concern as he noticed the doctor was particularly young, like he was, and not a wise looking sage of a man. He’d not seen many true doctors in his life, but all the ones he had encountered looked like they were present during the last age and spoke with the gravity of ...

Early Winter AoN 289 Artemis rode atop Sir Francis the great moose with all the pride and confidence a man sitting astride a beast capable of upending a carriage was due. The four of them, he and Ksenia atop the mount, Jourin and Dáire acting as guards, had managed to make their way through the str...

He’d gone from being without work, on his last coppers wandering the docks to being the foreman of an active and aggressive renovation project. With that he got a warm bunk and hot food every day and to top it off he was cur...

Artemis could feel the tension in the room as every tiny creak of the manager’s attempt to sit comfortably echoed loudly in his mind. ‘I will not flinch or show eagerness. Mine is to wait, to counter, to overcome with speed and control,’ he chanted to himself as the seconds ticked by. He flexed his ...

“There you have it,” Artemis said expansively. “Tonight we relax and recover, tomorrow you go with Jourin and, if I’m feeling better, me.” Artemis nodded to himself, happy to have the matter settled in his eyes. They were near enough to the bank now that he adopted his businessman’s persona again. ...

“Black is what they call me, at least around here,” Artemis said back with an easy grin. “So, you’re a scholar, and a local one at that. What possessed you to travel? I don’t remember too many bookish types leaving the city if they can avoid it.” Artemis was curious enough and didn’t have anything ...
