How Long Has it Been?
Artemis sits in the guest room of Selene's temple and brushed her hair in front of the long mirror. Dressed in a long comfortale sleeping gown, she stares at her reflection, eyes seeing bruises and bite mark that have long since healed.

On some level the goddess knew that at some point her huntress powers had returned but there had been no celebrating or excitement on her part because she knew that athough her ability to hunt, trap and trek had been returned she was still disgraced and she wasn't sure if there would ever be a way to fix that.

Satisfied that her golden tresses were perfect, Artemis returns the brush to small drawer in the vanity before heading to bed, pulling down the heavy blanket and crawling beneath it to spend another fearful and sleepless night.

	Selene didn't know if Artemis was sleeping or not, but she needed to talk to her. Hoping she wasn't waking her up, she knocked softly on her door. (Reply to this) (Thread)

Artemis had just pulled the blanket up to her chin when she heard the knock. Stopping all movement she stared at the door..surely if it was them they wouldn't knock. They'd just barge right in and have their way with her.

"Selene?" she whispered "Is that you?"

Artemis clutched the blanket nervously in her hands as she waited for an answer and her eyes darted around the room looking for someplace to hide if it wasn't Selene on the other side of the door.

	"Yeah, honey, it's me." Cautiously, knowing just how skittish Artemis was, she opened the door slowly, poking her head in and giving Art a smile. "Can we talk, or are you too tired?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Artemis didn't want to talk because she was certain that Selene would try to coax her into thinking about stepping foot outside her temple or to even try to stay outside of the guestroom for longer than a few minutes at a time. However, she also didn't want to be rude either, after all Selene was letting her stay here and Art was rather certain the other goddess had not told Apoll, Mel or even Helios about her whereabouts.

"Sure, we can talk."

She tried to think back to when they had last really talked but everything after that night still seemed to be hazy for her. Putting on a brave face (or so she hoped) she offered a smile to Selene and patted a spot on the bed besides her.

"What's on your mind?"

Artemis had tried to sound cheerful but to her own ears her voice fell short on the attempt.
