Yue's eyes snapped open at the question.  The hairs on the back of her neck prickled upright and she dropped Archer abruptly.  He puffed dramatically and smoothed out his jacket while Yue gazed absently at her hands.

[b][color=#CE2B95]"Oh shit, I'm so sorry!"[/color][/b] She exclaimed, blinking rapidly as she snapped back to her senses and started to fawn over Archer.

[b][color=#c45302]"Sssh,"[/color][/b] he smiled, silencing her with a finger.  [b][color=#c45302]"Hold this,"[/color][/b] he instructed, pressing the keychain into her hand.  She flustered for a moment but her fingers closed around it involuntarily, and she stared off into space with a concerned expression as he spun her around and pressed his hand between her shoulder blades.

The array hidden in her tattoo sparkled to life for a few moments before the [Crimson] seemed to dissipate, calming from the lively and angry coils to a thin and tranquil aura close to her skin, now scarcely noticeable.  He sighed, waving a hand dismissively at the words of Zolya and the others.

[b][color=#CE2B95]"Okay what the fuck?!"[/color][/b] Yue blurted out.  [b][color=#CE2B95]"Is this real?!  Am I dreaming?  Is that what's happening here?!"[/color][/b]

[b][color=#c45302]"Things are gonna get weird from here on, hon,"[/color][/b] he muttered as she turned around to face him.  Archer took a breath and huffed, blowing a stray lock of hair out of his eyes.  [b][color=#c45302]"I'll have you know, the request to keep her in the dark came from her family.  I shan't be taking the blame for them wanting her to live a life free of the perils of our world.  You put me in a difficult position, [i]Freyja[/i],"[/color][/b] he explained curtly, turning his head back towards Zolya.  

[b][color=#c45302]"Not that I agree with the policy or anything, it's just not my place to say anything about it,"[/color][/b] he said with a sigh, his expression and posture relaxing.  [b][color=#c45302]"Now that the proverbial cat is out of the bag so to speak (through no fault of my own I might add), however, it's probably better if the explanation comes from me,"[/color][/b] he admitted.  [b][color=#c45302]"Why don't we find a place where we can chat comfortably and I'll explain everything... I just have something to take care of first, hon."[/color][/b]

Archer stepped past Yue, and between Jemma and Raudd without explanation, the card Raudd had placed on the ground popped into the air and he caught it between two fingers.  He stopped an arm's length away and held it out to Jemma casually, one hand in his pocket, his blue eyes gleaming with interest and amusement.  Archer slid his fingers apart slightly to reveal two cards: the one Raudd had left, and a Tarot card labeled "7 - The Archer."

[b][color=#c45302]"I want to talk to you,"[/color][/b] he informed, bluntly.  [b][color=#c45302]"Later.  When you're feeling less... 'assaulty.' These people can be trusted,"[/color][/b] he explained, tilting his head towards Zolya and the others.  [b][color=#c45302]"When you're ready, I'll come find you.  My name is[/color] [color=6ecff6]Artemis[/color],"[/b] he revealed.  The name carried a different weight as he said it, resonating through the Astral Sea almost as though it invoked power just by utterance.
