Artemis. [Troublemaking boys were nothing new to Nancy. She'd been raise along side them. She had been looked up to as a motherly figure by them. But with Artemis, it was different. She was new as well, but already she knew that he was supposed to be Loki reincarnated.

Which certainly made her role as Sigyn strange and complicated.]

D'you mind telling me what it is you're doing, exactly, hmm?

[fowlisfair]

[Yes, it's certainly an awkward situation for the both of them. Perhaps not as awkward as Rhys and Mary's, but still.]

Certainly, Nancy. I could tell you that I'm doing absolutely nothing. Or maybe giving my intellect something creative to do in my rather abundant spare time. Or I'm doing an experiment for purely scientific reasons.

[stauncherhearted]

We'll go with the second option, then. You really can't be that bored.

[God of mischief, Nance. Of course he is.] You could go rock climbing, or take a Pegasus out.

[fowlisfair]

Fine by me.

[Artemis will be secretly amused, it's okay.] Rock climbing? I think I would kill myself, since it involves falling boulders, shaking, and lava. I took one of the pegasi out yesterday for a bit, which was a fascinating experience. It's a little different than horseback.

[stauncherhearted]

Is it? I've never been on a horse. [She'd never been given the opportunity.]

Then avoid the rock wall. Take to the beach? It's a beautiful view.

[fowlisfair]

They are subtle differences, honestly, but only because you're adding wings on a horse. It requires a little more balance, and a different position for your legs so that you don't interrupt the pegasus' flight.

[He shrugs.]

Honestly, Nancy, I'm just bored. There isn't anything currently challenging my intellect, so I have to set up my own challenges preferably before I go mad.

[stauncherhearted]

You'll have to take me horseback riding, then.

So let's find something to do, Artemis. You going mad would be the sort of thing to cause ragnorak all over again.

[fowlisfair]

[He arches an eyebrow.]

And I'm sure I'll never live it down. Still. Perhaps I should teach you horseback riding, if you don't know how already?

[stauncherhearted]

I don't know how, so if you're offering the opportunity, how can I resist?

[She smirks at him. She could fall for him, easily, she realizes. It may take work, but she likes the dangerous sorts.]

You'll have to show me all the upper-class wonders.

[fowlisfair]

[Artemis is a magnet for danger, that's true enough. Hopefully, Nancy is patient with this kid.]

A tall order, but we'll see what we can manage. I'm not the best teacher for the job, but perhaps I'll be good enough.

[He can admit being weak in the field of physical exercise and instruction of such. Heck, Butler makes a mention of it every once in a while.]

[stauncherhearted]

[She has no choice but to make it work.]

Better than anyone I've had before, I'll guarantee that. [She'd tell him about her life before camp, if he asked. About Fagin and his gang, about living in poverty, about whatever love she clung to.]

[fowlisfair]

[He looks disapproving, though not at Nancy. If there's one thing he values in life, it's learning, and bad teaching is just disgraceful.]

Bad teachers, I would guess?

[stauncherhearted]

What's worse? Bad teaching, or none at all?

[fowlisfair]

Bad teaching, in my honest opinion. You learn bad habits that take time to undo when a good teacher comes along. When you haven't had teaching, you're working with a clean slate, and it's more rewarding regardless of previous teachings or no if you simply wish to learn. Something I've observed and other reputable sources can confirm.

[stauncherhearted]

[This gives her something to consider.] Bad teaching, then. Where they didn't teach me much at all but bad habits. None of them are the sort of thing you want to write home about.

[fowlisfair]

[Artemis nods.]

Well, one step at a time. First, we'll start with horseback riding. That might be something worth writing home about. If you'd like, we can start now or we can start later.

[stauncherhearted]

I won't be writing.

[Well. Maybe to Dodger and Charley.]

Why not now? You're certainly bored enough.
