[i]Sasha rolls her eyes.[/i]
"I didn't come along to be boringly philosophical or whatever. I was hoping to get out and have fun while also helping the search to find the runt."

[b]I fall over. Hard. I had my damn Anti-Material Rifle on me. I got up slowly. I was pissed off, but I wouldn't attack her or anything.[/b] "Did I say the NCR owned her, Sasha? No. I didn't. I just said she's safer in NCR care. And if you don't want to lose her, stay with her then. With me and the NCR. Be a goddamn shame for me to have to hate you."
-
[i]She gets up in Grant's face with a tear running down her cheek.[/i] "NCR care?! Last time someone was supposedly under their 'care' Artemis' mother died! I'm not letting her die! I don't care if you hate me as long as she's safe!"
-
"Goddammit do you call what your clan does to her safe?! She would've fûcking died from the infections if I didn't help her! Your clan beats her and cut her and slashes her and treats her like shit! Wanna know what the NCR does? Gives her a warm bed, three meals a day, and medical care! Hell, I literally just said you could stay with her too! You act like the NCR are the bad guys! I'm under fûcking orders to protect civilians in any way I can, and wanna know what you both are to me?! Goddamn civvies! I have to protect you, it's my fûcking job!"
-
"Don't make f*cking promises you can't keep! You humans are all the same! You have too much trust in those who have power over you! These governments of yours can easily do wrong and be corrupted! It pains me every time I see her get hurt, but at least she's not dead!"
-
[b]That was the last goddamn straw! She's on my last goddamn nerve.[/b] "Insulting me is one thing, but insulting the NCR is another! I've met our goddamn president, he's the least corrupt man on the planet! And you think I can't keep her safe?! By order of the New California Republic, I have to give my life to save civvies like you! And you know what, you're being a fûcking racist! Generalizing is humans like you've met us all! I'm betting you haven't met more than ten of us! You know, if you'd just give me a goddamn chance you'd see I'm the best damn protector on the planet! I've protected people from countless others, probably more than there are in old NYC! Guess what?! None of them even got hurt! Artemis is not safe back there! She's gonna get killed! One day somebody's gonna get a little too rough and that slash across the back will sever her spinal cord, and probably fûcking kill her! I'm one of the best goddamn shots she's got at actually being able to live a free life and you're going to deny her that?! What the fûck is wrong with you?! It's not your choice! It's hers! If she wants to stay, she's staying, dammit! And I'm giving you a chance to get away too! Away from it all! Away from all that bullshit stuff that happens back at your den! Just fûcking take it! If you're there with Artemis, you can make sure I'm doing my fûcking job!"
-
"Why don't we go ask Artemis what she wants then?! And don't call me a f*cking civvie! I'm a warrior who's out to get a comrade back home!" [i]Sasha starts to run towards the Dojo.[/i]
-
"Sasha, are you a part of a military?! No, you're not! That means you're technically a civilian to me! I'm not denying you're a warrior, I'm saying you're not part of the NCR's war, so you're a civilian!" [b]Grant sprints after her.[/b]
-
"You f*cking elitist *ss human! I'm no civilian in need of protection." [i]Sasha runs way ahead of Grant.[/i]
-
"Goddammit, it's not a fûcking statement! I'm legally bound by the NCR to call you and treat you as such! If I don't, I lose my fûcking job! I've got two kids to look after now, I can't afford to do that! If it was up to me, you wouldn't be called a civvie! The one NCR policy I disagree with!"
-
[i]Sasha is no longer within earshot.[/i]
-
[b]I sprint up to her. This was all I had in me, she wasn't going to be able to not hear me at this point. I say the same thing again.[/b]
-
[i]Sasha ignores you and runs far too fast for you to catch up.[/i]
-
[b]I take some turbo and jet, making me more than fast enough to catch up.[/b]
-
[i]Sasha turns herself into a wolf and begins to run at 125 mph.[/i]
-
[b]Damn. She didn't have me beaten by much, but she had me beat. I ran after her.[/b]
-
[i]Sasha runs through guards as she picks up Artemis' scent and notices a blood trail. She runs as fast as she can to find the bleeding Artemis.[/i]
-
[b]I'm almost right behind her, she's not gaining an absolute ton of ground.[/b]

Edited by Stitch: 11/13/2016 7:48:03 AM[i]Sasha and Grant find Artemis wearing a white duster, black tank top, and dark jeans with her hair down instead of the normal ponytail. Sasha turned into her human form and hugged the cleaned up Artemis. Grant noticed some sort of [url=http://orig13.deviantart.net/45c4/f/2013/160/1/b/blake_s_weapon___gambol_shroud_by_thelozzter5000-d68dely.png]weapon[/url] strapped to her back.[/i] "Arty!" "Sasha?!"
-
"What in Sam hell? What happened? I heard some bad shit went down at the den."
-
Edited by Stitch: 11/13/2016 7:57:08 AM[i]Artemis manages to push Sasha back enough to answer.[/i] [b]Artemis: [/b]"Yeah, I fought my father. Sasha, do you mind?" [i]Sasha just hugs Artemis tighter.[/i] [b]Sasha:[/b] "You look so good! And....Is that perfume? My little girl is growing up!" [i]Artemis blushes and tries harder to push Sasha away.[/i]
-
"Sasha, calm down. You're crushing the poor girl." [b]I chuckle, but it sounded hollow and muffled to them because of my helmet.[/b]
-
[i]Sasha releases her hold and Artemis stumbles back a few steps.[/i] [b]Artemis:[/b] "Thank you, Grant." [b]Sasha:[/b] "Why does no one like my hugs?" [i]Artemis rolls her eyes before facing Grant.[/i] [b]Artemis:[/b] "What brings you here?"
-
"We came looking for you, kid. We heard you were hurt."
-
[i]Artemis spun around to show off her cleaned up state and laughed.[/i] "I'm think I'm fine at the moment. Two new friends gave me all of this."
-
"Who would they be? Same people who kidnapped ya? Well, Sasha says kidnap. I say free."
