[i]Sasha shrugs and looks around.[/i]
"That way?"
[i]She points towards a more residential area.[/i]

-
"Who would they be? Same people who kidnapped ya? Well, Sasha says kidnap. I say free."
-
[i]Sasha snarls at Grant.[/i] [b]Artemis:[/b] "Yeah, Keira and Kara. They gave me this weapon, which I used to fight my father." [i]She pulls the weapon off her back, the sword still in its machete sheath.[/i]
-
[b]As I was coming down from the Jet and Turbo, I pulled some healing powder out of my coat pocket, and sped over. I began to apply it. There was no time to waste on talk.[/b]
-
[i]Sasha growled at Grant as she let him heal Artemis. Artemis just sits there almost completely motionless.[/i] "Hurt her and I'll make sure you see your own insides being pulled out."
-
"What did I tell you earlier, Sasha? I have to heal her. If I hurt her, I'm less scared of you killing me and my two daughters not having enough food to eat." [b]I continue applying the powder, it should heal her up, good as new.[/b]
-
[i]Some of Artemis' wounds were too deep and others seemed to refuse to heal. Sasha hugged her tightly. Artemis weakly smiled.[/i] [b]Artemis: [/b]"Hey, I didn't die..." [b]Sasha: [/b]"No, but I'm mad you didn't wait for me so I could watch." [i]The two laugh.[/i]
-
[b]I still continue my treatment. I try and use a stimpack.[/b] "You're damn lucky you didn't get any worse than this, kid. Still, glad you're alive. Would kill me to see ya dead."
-
[i]The wounds refuse to heal as Sasha shakes her head.[/i] [b]Sasha:[/b] "Grant, some of these cuts must've come from Kaegoth's claymore when he got angry. Only time will heal them." [b]Artemis:[/b] "That's when I decided to leave." [b]Sasha:[/b] "You're lucky he didn't cut any limbs off in that state. How did you even have a weapon capable of stopping his blade?" [i]Artemis pulls a weapon out from under her.[/i] [b]Artemis:[/b] "It's called the [url=http://img08.deviantart.net/2507/i/2014/308/c/9/rwby___gambol_shroud_3d_model_render_by_ace_wong-d852x7y.png]Gambol Shroud[/url]. A friend gave it to me."
-
"Who gave it to you, Artemis? Was it the same person who... Broke you free, is what I'd guess you'd call it." [b]I apply some anti-microbials and anti-biotics to the wounds. I bandage them up, then just sit beside them. I was damn tired. Needed some rest.[/b]
-
[i]Artemis nods.[/i] Artemis: "Yeah, I wouldn't word it like that, but yeah. She also gave me the motorcycle." Sasha: "Pfft. I prefer running, right old man?"
-
"Most of the time, yeah. But I'll be damned if owning a vehicle doesn't sound nice some times. NCR doesn't pay me enough to actually support my family and get one."
-
[i]Artemis nods and giggles.[/i] [b]Artemis:[/b] "What's your family like? You have two daughters, right?"
-
"Well... My family... Yeah, I've got two daughters, they're both insane. Had a brother, killed by Legion. Had an actual, biological daughter. Killed by Legion. Had a wife. Killed by Legion. Before that, they were all pretty nice. Daughter was a little hyperactive."
-
[i]Artemis and Sasha get a little upset.[/i] [b]Sasha:[/b] "I'm sorry to hear that. At least you still have the two insane daughters."
-
"Yeah, they're my family now, love 'em to bits. Heh. It's kinda funny. Two girls that never knew their parents got a dad within an hour of meetin' him. Anyways, what's your guy's families like? Well, I more meant yours, Sasha. Kinda already know about Artemis'."
-
[i]Sasha thinks a little before answering.[/i] "Y'know, father and mother died from natural causes a while back. I had an older brother, but he died during a hunt. My younger sister...missing."
-
"Damn. Got a name or somethin'? I can send out a patrol or two when the brass sends reinforcements."
-
[i]Sasha just hides her face as she tries to hide her crying. Artemis answers for her.[/i] "She's been missing for years, Grant."
-
"Doesn't mean you have to stop looking for her. Staff Sergeant Thompson has been missing for twelve years and we still haven't given up."
-
[b]Artemis:[/b] "Her sister was lost on hunting grounds. The large predator hunting grounds. She's gone, Grant." [i]Sasha continues to cry into the bleeding Artemis.[/i] [b]Sasha: [/b]"I don't want your NCR's sh*tty help, Grant."
-
"What's your vendetta with the NCR, Sasha? We haven't done anything to your people. And we just wanna help. Hell, all that civilian business aside, I'd still try to help. I want to."

If you came to bring me back I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not going. I'm safe here, Sasha. I legitimately feel safe for once." [i]Sasha growls before laughing and smiling.[/i] [b] Sasha:[/b] "Then I'm staying here too! I can be like, your older sister!" [i]Artemis groans and hangs her head. Her voice shows no enthusiasm.[/i] [b]Artemis: [/b]"Oh, yay...can't wait to know what it's like to have you as a sister..." [i]Sasha suddenly pulls Artemis' head into her ample chest. Artemis looks up at Grant and mouths "Help me.".[/i]
-
[b]I take my helmet off, smiling. It was good that the kid was gonna stay. Well, it wasn't exactly a choice at that point, but still. By her own free will I laugh.[/b] "Sasha lighten up on the poor girl. I think you're crushing her."
-
Edited by Stitch: 11/12/2016 7:10:45 PM[i]Sasha just presses Artemis between her assets even harder as she laughs uncontrollably.[/i] [b]Sasha: [/b]"Are you joking?! This is hilarious!" [i]Artemis manages to slip out of Sasha's grip and starts to breathe heavily with a red face. Artemis shoves the laughing Sasha playfully.[/i] [b]Artemis: [/b]"Big sisters shouldn't smother their sister with their over sized breasts!" [b]Sasha:[/b] "Oh, you're only calling them over sized because you're flat."
-
[b]I was... Confused. Why the hell were they talking about breasts? I mean, I don't know why they were comparing. Never understood that about young women. Why did it matter?[/b] "Yeah, I'm just gonna let you guys do... Whatever that was, I'm scooting over here." [b]And that's what I did. I scooter away from them a bit.[/b]
