Eliza snorted, 'Thanks," she said and started sniffling before she began bawling into Artemis' chest, "I-Ih was so happy when y'all showed up, but now Ih just want tah go home, but Ih'm also afraid that our friendship will be weird now!"

Artemis hugged her tightly. "Why would you think that? If anything, I know how difficult parents can be." He stroked her head gently, "I know you want to go home. I do too, and I'd bet money that Huntin does too. But we have to put on a pretty face and get the gala over with. I swear, if Buck even so much as touches you when you don't want him too, me and Huntin will be on him in seconds."

"Not just a pretty face, but a gorgeous one," Artemis said, trying to joke around with her to cheer her up. "I do not like seeing you cry." He said, lifting a finger to her face to brush away her tears. "It will all be okay, I promise."

"Ih hate cryin tah, but sometimes Ih just get so tired of bein so happy. Or overly happy cause Huntin's always upset about somethin, his weight, his skin, othah guys lookin at me," Eliza said trying to stop crying but she couldn't, 'Ih love him, but sometimes Ih just want tah be depressed myself."

"It is okay for you to get upset." Artemis said, holding her securely, "Not everyone can be happy all the time. And, with Huntin, you have to remember that he loves you. Just talk to him. You cannot expect him to know how you are feeling unless you tell him. Guys aren't that good with subtle messages."

Artemis was quiet for a moment before he ran his fingers through her hair. "I am sorry." He murmered.

Artemis squeezed her tightly, resting his chin on her head. He twirled her hair around his fingers, sort of a nervous action. He closed his eyes. "So, what are we going to do?"

"Go tah tha gala Ih reckon, Ih mean Ih can probably avoid my Pa, anh sadly there's several interested clients that are comin tah it, anh it would ruin ah alot of potential business if Ih didn't show up," Eliza said.

"Alright." Artemis said. "You should get some sleep then. I'm going to go check and make sure Huntin didn't fall asleep in the shower. Sound good?" He said, squeezing her one last time before releasing her.

Huntin actually had begun to doze off while he stood under the pelting warm water, relaxing for the first time in quite a while. He sighed, shampooing his hair with those little bitty sample shampoos they always had at hotels. After a few minutes and thorough wrinsing, Huntin stepped out of the shower, drying himself off and flopping down on the bed semi-wet and wholly naked, cacooning one of the sheets around his body. He closed his eyes, tensing up again, thinking of everything tha thad happened and would inevitebly happen.

Artemis smiled, patting her head gently. "Its what I do," He said softly before exiting the room. He shuffled back to his own, tired himself. He unlocked the door, moved inside slowly, flipping off the lights. Without a word, he flopped down onto the unoccupied side of the bed, yawning.

Huntin grunted as Artemis joined him, rolling over and latching his arm onto him, not awake or nearly aware fo what was going on.

Already more than half asleep, Artemis turned over and curled up against Huntin. Yawning sleepily, he snuggled up and mummbled something in incoherant French.

That morning Huntin slowly awoke, rolling off of the bed and finding himself tangled in a mass of sheets, drowning in his own drool almost. He coughed, slowly opening his eyes. "Wha wha?"
