"Even if they had found out the truth, if you weren't a slayer hypothetically, they wouldn't do anything. They might not be happy with it, but they won't act against you." She shrugged, "But seeing as that isn't the situation.."

[Honor]

William glanced at Artemis from the corner of his eye then looked back at the rode. She was right, that certainly wasn't the situation... but it could be. He gazed at the rode for a long moment before he spoke. "There... is a way to make that happen, actually." He paused there, not eager to go on. There was definitely to make him 'normal' but he wasn't fond of the idea. Not at all.

[Evil Tink]

Artemis could sense his apprehension, and in turn it made her a bit nervous herself. "I know you don't like the idea, and I probably won't, but I suppose you should tell anyway..."

[Honor]

"Slayer's have the option to... quit. Though unfortunately it's not as simple as quitting a normal job. Not to mention my mom'd through a raging hissy fit, but that's besides the point." He sighed. "When a slayer quits he or she is stripped of every memory they have that relates to vampires and slayers in anyway. Basically, I'd forget what you are, and what I am. I'd remember our friendship." He paused and reached over to take her hand. "I'd remember when we became more than friends, though since it all happened after I found out about you it would be a little fuzzy." He gave her hand a squeeze. "I just hate the thought of knowing everything I know now, and then being ignorant."

[Evil Tink]

Artemis frowned, "I don't think I'd like to be looking after your sorry ass every second to make sure we're not being ambushed." She sighed, running her hand through her hair, "But...I don't see what else we could do, but I don't want to make you do that just so you could be with me for what..who know show many years...all the while I just watch you get older and older..."

[Honor]

"All the while you stay young and beautiful?" He chuckled slightly. "Yeah, the thought crossed my mind before. But wasn't that what we'd do anyway? Even if I stayed a slayer, which is pretty impossible anymore. How could I kill a vampire for just being a vampire when I see you're face every time I blink?"

[Evil Tink]

Artemis shook her head a bit with a slightly irritated sigh, "Not that I regret meeting you, but sometimes, I wish I hadn't. You know? No matter what we do, you'll just continue on the natural way of life and I'll just be sitting here..watching you die...yet another thing I need to make this depressing cloud over my life darker.." She closed her eyes for a moment before looking over to him, "Either way..no matter what we do..I lose."

[Honor]

William felt an overwhelming sense of relief that they had reached his apartments. He quickly pulled into a parking space and then pulled Artemis into a tight hug. "I..." He cleared his throat. "I am your's, Artemis. Body and soul. And wherever I am after I die, if I exist at all, I'll be your's there too. If there was a way that I could stay with you..." He trailed off, tightening the hug.

[Evil Tink]

"And at that point, I will still be alive for God knows how many hundreds of years, sulking around doing who knows what." She kept her arms at her sides resting her chin on his shoulder lightly. "It's a shame there isn't..." Not that he could see it, but her eyes looked off to the left. She would not discuss that matter either.

[Honor]

William smiled and pulled back, resting his forehead on her's. "You could always try boweling. Hear it's very distracting, should make time fly." He said, trying to make her feel better. "A way for me to live forever? Only vampire's live forever as far as I know."

[Evil Tink]

She rolled her eyes, "I don't like bowling..or sports for that matter. It's so dirty and sweaty. I will pass." She closed her eyes again, "Which sometimes, I wish it wasn't true.."

[Honor]

With the lightest of pressures he kissed her lips, lingering there for a moment before stroking her cheek. "What about knitting?" He murmured with a small smile.

[Evil Tink]

She narrowed her eyes, a bit playfully, "You calling me old? Hm?" She grinned a bit, "I'll have you know, I'm only 572 years old..."

[Honor]

William laughed. "Ah, yes, my bad, you're practically a baby! Now I feel like a pedophile. I'm far to old for you." He said in a gentle sarcastic tone.

[Evil Tink]

She smiled, kissing his cheek, "You should feel absolutely terrible for doing something to taboo! I ought to report you to the authorities."

[Honor]

William nodded. "It's true. I am a terribly person. I deserve to be in jail for the rest of my life." He leaned down and kissed her a little deeper than before. "But that was worth it."
