[i]Money[/i], she thought with a shrug at Josephine's comment.

A thief was always known to want money and used all their force to gain it. For part of her life that was true, taking what she needed and living off of it. Now, it was less convincing if she still followed behind that expectation. Perhaps it was the new way of living that now provided her next week's food or if anything, stealing was another one of her "games". Rather than reward money, a rare hunting bird or a lifetime free supply of apples from any shop or trade seemed better to Artemis. But it didn't make a difference either way.

[color=39b54a]"They are probably desperate with the sending of this many people,"[/color] Artemis commented.

While in the pits of her mind, it seemed as though the others attention had been drawn to a problem at the gate. Artemis turned to look as she saw a woman acting in a threatening manner to the guards while two other strangers, opposite in most traits, approach her. The woman reminded her when she was at a more rebellious age. Its possible they were the last of the the group with their slightly striking appearances. Compared to them, it was only how Artemis was dressed that made her somewhat stand out. As she saw them point to the hill the group was upon, she couldn't help but smirk a little. [i]Called it[/i]

"There is very little chance she will act upon these threats and even if she were to do so, the guards are perfectly capable of holding their own. Else-wise, they wouldn't have the position that they have."

[i]Yep, most defiantly some sort of knight.[/i] He looked a bit irritated with the situation until it seemed he had reached the same conclusion as her. "Deer-duke" mentioned he could see through Polaris's behavior with his personal experiences, claiming the "if you believe, it might just come true," saying.  [i]Why not just kick him around a little?[/i] she concluded. It was probably just her who thought this. [i]Maybe loosen him up a bit, better then a comment like that[/i]. With the thought in mind, this journey seemed more enjoyable than before.
