Artemis' Room II

[Health]

Slowly, in the early hours of the morning, Artemis' door opened a crack and a single brown eye looked around the room before the door opened up and Eliza slowly snuck into the room. Tip-toeing across the room the the bed, she grinned evilly at the sleeping boy looking relaxed and comfortable.

"Pst," Eliza said poking Artemis' shoulder, "Arty wake up!" she whispered giving him and extra poke, "Come on you promised to go running with me."

[Zeb]

The French boy mumbled something, rolling over onto his back and yawning. He had that cute, sleepy, just-woke-up expression as he sat up slowly, ruffling his hair. "But the sun is broken." He murmured sleepily, "Wake me... when it... is fixed..." He flopped back over onto his pillow, curling up on his side.

[Health]

Eliza rolled her eyes and wondered if any other guy's girlfriend showed up only wearing a sports bra and spandex pants they would still be laying in bed. "Darhlin come on yah promised," she whined poking Artemis again.

[Zeb]

Artemis moaned, sitting up again and rolling out of bed. "It is too early..." He mumbled stumbling over to his dresser. Like always, he wore only a pair of black silk boxer briefs to bed. "Mm, I need clothes." He murmured, more to himself than anyone else.

[Health]

Eliza sat down on the bed, letting herself be entertained by the site of Artemis' backside for a moment before speaking, "Ih said ah early mornin run before school, it's suppose tah be early," she pointed out.

[Zeb]

"Did not think you meant this early." Artemis mumbled, picking carefully through the drawers to find a pair of shorts. He was impeccably neat, the pinnacle of obsessive compulsive. All his clothing was arranged by type and color, folded neatly, and always freshly laundered. He chose a pair of black basketball-ish shorts, slipped a pair of ankle socks on, and began to lace up his shoes. "Why do you run so early anyways?"

[Health]

"Because, Ih ahlways have dangah room trainin anh homework, college work, anh photoshoots in tha evenings. Besides in tha mornins there's no one out, so we'll be completely alone," Eliza said looking slightly amused as she tied her hair up in a bun, "Beside runnin five miles takes ah while, not tha mention getting ah shower and gettin ready for school tah."

[Zeb]

Artemis yawned sleepily. "H-H-How far are we running today?" He asked as another yawn interrupted his sentence. Standing, he ran his fingers through his hair, loosening all the little knots. He never really needed a brush; his hair just didn't knot badly.

[Health]

"Five miles, there's ah path ahround tha grounds we can take," Eliza said getting up from the bed and began making it, "Ih run it everyday, it goes past tha lake, tha barn, pretty much everythin."

[Zeb]

Artemis moaned, going into the bathroom to brush his teeth. "Ah 'aven't run in sho long, Ah'm gunna be sho out of shape." He mumbled through the toothbrush as he examined his face in the mirror.

[Health]

"Please Ih'll go easy on yah darhlin," Eliza said rolling her eyes and leaning against the door of the bathroom. She bit her lip and looked Artemis up and down, "Besides Ih like wakin yah early, yah just outtah bed look is so sexy," she said with an honest shrug.

[Zeb]

Artemis blushed, but chuckled none the less. "Yeah, shure." He mumbled through the brush, then spit onto the sink. After rinsing with water and mouthwash, he walked over to Eliza and gave her a peck on the lips. "Alright, let us get this over with." He chuckled, trotting over to the door and exiting his room.

[Health]

"Mmmm just brushed teeth kisses, yah know myh weaknesses," Eliza said her cheeks flushing a little as she followed Artemis out to the grounds. She began stretching out her legs and arms. The cold brushed against her skin leaving goosebumps, but she ignored it, instead concentrated on the run ahead. She looked down the begining of the path, it was etched with fog, and went through her memory the entire course.

[Zeb]

"Better than unbrushed teeth, mm?" Artemis chuckled, watching her stretch for a moment. Then, blushing deeply, he turned away and began stretching himself. Surprisingly enough, he hadn't lost much of his flexibility. While standing, he spread his legs apart, about shoulder width, and moved to the right, almost touching his chin to his knee. He held it for a few seconds before moving on.

[Health]

"God flexible enough?" Eliza asked from her sitting postion on the ground, as she reached between her legs with her hands and was almost touching the ground with her nose. She then curled one leg in and reached for the outstretched foot, touching it and resting her nose on her leg. she did the same with her other leg then stood up and grinned at Artemis, 'Yah ready?"

[Zeb]

Artemis grinned, "Psshh, you're one to talk." He grunted, raising his arms above his head, interlocking his fingers, and bending backwards to stretch his abs. Then, shaking his limbs slightly, he shrugged. "Better now than ever, I suppose."

[Health]

"Healin ahbility hun, not tah mention Ih actually go tah Dangah Room Practice," Eliza said taking a deep breath of cold air before taking off down the path and a resonable speed so Artemis could keep up.

[Zeb]

Artemis laughed again, setting his pace to keep up with Eliza. "I suppose that accounts for something." He said, grinning, "So, any shoots anytime soon?"

[Health]

'Not that Ih know of, I told myh agent Ih'm takin ah break so unless some sort of miracle shoot comes up Ih not doin it," Eliza said as she ran, the goosebumps on her flesh slowly disappearing and being replaced with a healthy red color as she ran. "Why yah ask?"

[Zeb]

"Just curious," Artemis said, shrugging, "I have been getting phone calls ever since that Victoria Secret shoot with contract offers, but I do not know what I want to do about them. I am not sure modeling is 'my thing'."
