[i]Artemis stutters.[/i] "I-I have no idea what you're talking about. I'm trying to help you."
-
Cannon shakes his head. "Look, I know I'm not the best person in the galaxy, or even the immediate area. But I care about her, a lot. I'd do anything for her, including changing what I am to the best of my abilities."
-
[i]Artemis has a genuinly concerned face.[/i] "Okay, changing yourself is something you should never do. You are you and you should be happy as you. I might be protective of Iso, but I'm serious about this."
-
"Changing would honestly be a blessing for me. I want to feel emotions again, not that I don't feel anything, but it's an old coping habit that I don't want anymore." Cannon sighs.
-
[i]Arty hugs Cannon.[/i] "You're not completely emotionless, but...do work on it. In all honesty Iso is getting tired of it."
-
"Trust me, I am." He smiles. "She's lucky to have a friend as loyal as you."
-
[i]Arty smiles.[/i] "Thank you, Cannon. Iso is lucky to have a devoted mate like you."
-
Cannon blushes at being called Iso's mate. "Thanks. Now, I really need to find her and apologize for being a di'kut, did you see where sue went?" He gazing around the party, looking for her.
-
[i]She points at Charlie and Iso talking.[/i] "Over there."
-
"Thanks, wish me luck." He walks towards them.
-
[i]They're too focused talking to notice you.[/i]
-
Cannon walks up to them, stopping nearby and sitting down to wait for a polite moment to step in and apologize.
-
[b]Iso:[/b] "...you know?" [b]Charlie:[/b] "You're asking the wrong person for relationship advice. I hardly understand my own emotions. Still, I suggest you say what you mean and tell the truth."
-
Cannon decides to check his datapad, attempting to not eavesdrop on the conversation.
-
[i]They eventually end the conversation.[/i]
-
Cannon rises and walks towards Iso, stepping around so she sees him approaching.
-
[i]Iso looks up at Cannon and then her eyes dart to the ground. She seems nervous as she doesn't look up. Charlie waves.[/i] [b]Charlie:[/b] "Hello, Mr. Cannon."
-
Cannon nods politely at him. "Su cuy, Charlie. I never got to thank you for saving us, so thanks for that."
-
[i]Charlie bows slightly.[/i] "No problem, Mr. Cannon. I wanted to help." [i]Iso continues to stare at the ground in silence.[/i]
-
"Regardless, you saved my life. I owe you. Perhaps I could buy you a drink some time?" Cannon glances at Iso.
-
[b]Charlie:[/b] "That would be great!" [i]Iso doesn't look up.[/i]
-
Cannon smiles. "We'll do that sone time. Um, could I speak to Isorropia alone for a second?"
-
[b]Charlie:[/b] "Sure." [i]He walks away. Iso doesn't look up, but mumbles something.[/i] [b]Iso:[/b] "H-Hi."
-
"Hi..." Cannon nervously wrings his hands together. "I... Um, I came over to apologize. I was being an idiot, and I embarrassed you. I'm sorry. I'm also sorry for being so dense and for not showing my emotions very well." He trails off, looking down at the floor.
-
[i]Iso looks at Cannon with a smile and starts to nervously laugh.[/i] "I don't care about that stuff, Cannon! I-It's that...I kissed you and...you know...stuff when I was Pan. That was when I was corrupt and...I just...I don't know if those feelings were really me..."
