[Evil Tink]

Artemis smiled darkly, "You better be ready for this dear William~" She spread her tendril over his barrier, getting a pretty good feel for it's strength before increasing the strength of her tendril. She took the newly beefed tendril and bashed it hard against his barrier, "Let's see just how strong your mind is~" She repeated the assault with increased strength.

[Honor]

William could feel the crushing power of her mind. It was stronger than any he had encountered before, but he still resisted. He pushed against the force of her mind, trying to strengthen his defense and seemed to do well for a while, but after a moment he could quite keep it together and his armor cracked just slightly.

[Evil Tink]

Artemis smiled a bit feeling the crack, "I must say, you did a lot better than I expected; not to rain down on your skills. I've never really encountered strong minds like yours in the human race." She drove her tendril through the crack, but didn't go rummaging through his mind. He at least deserved a bit of privacy for doing so well. Right? "I'm used to going up against vampires, so forgive me if you get a headache later..."

[Honor]

William chuckled, though he was slightly chagrined, and let his walls down, felling no threat from her mind. "It's what I'm trained for. I think I did rather poorly."

[Evil Tink]

"You did a hell of a lot better than most Slayers I encounter. With practice, not even I will be able to break your walls." She smiled reassuringly, "Besides, I'm sure you haven't had to do that in awhile, since most vampires in town are rather weak."

[Honor]

William smiled. "I thank you for the praise. It's quite diffrent from the kind I'd get during training. There is was all, 'Good. Now do better.' I like you'res better." He then leaned towards her. "Do I get a kiss too?"

[Evil Tink]

Artemis leaned forward a bit, "Hmm..I don't know..I mean, you realyl could've done better after all." She held her face only a couple of inches from William's while she was silent for a few moments. After awhile, she smiled, "I suppose you deserve one for your efforts." She closed the distance, giving him a quick, but passionate kiss before leaning back.

[Honor]

William smiled and leaned back. "If I get that for effort, what do I get for succeeding?" He laughed and reached over, taking one of her hands.

[Evil Tink]

"You'll just have to work and figure it out~" She looked over, sensing the waiter was approaching with their food. Oh goodie~" She smiled and thanked him as he set it down. She stared at it with bright eyes. She loved waffles. She took her fork with her free hand, flipping the waffles a bit and inspecting them, "Well, at least, this time they're clean. Once I saw a few specks of..well..something you don't want on your food..."

[Honor]

William raised his eyebrows high at her comment, absolutely sure he didn't want to know what had been on her food before. "Ignorance is bliss, or so they say." He then took a bite of his omelet, savoring the taste. Though admittedly, he was curious but had deiced it was against his better judgement to ask.

[Evil Tink]

Artemis chuckled, "And they're right...it's always best to not know. I've been proven that time and time again." She poured a bit of syrup on her waffles and took a few bites, purring slightly.

[Honor]

William laughed at took a few more bites of his omelet. "It is true. I was ignorant of everything but normal people until I was seven years old. It was.... peaceful. But of course seven is the age when slayers start training, so my mother got me from my dad, whom I'd been living with, and promptly started my education." He could just barely remember spending time with his father. He remembered playing sports, and a few birthday parties, but everything else was too much of a blur to really count as memories.

[Evil Tink]

Artemis frowned slightly, "I don't remember my parents at all...their faces, their voices...the time we spent together, but it doesn't bother me really." She twirled her fork over her waffle with a slight frown.

[Honor]

"It doesn't... bother me, necessarily. It's more of an annoyance. Towards my mother, that is. Sometimes I wonder what my life would have been like if I'd been raised by my dad. If I would be diffrent person." He paused and took a bite of his food. "I think that me and you still would have met, he lives in this city."

[Evil Tink]

She smiled slightly, "One can only imagine. I'm sure we would have, after all, there aren't many schools here... we all get crammed into one." She finished off her last waffle, almost purring, "Delicious~"

[Honor]

Finishing off his food William grinned. "I would have pursued you right away then. With no code to stop me, I would have made you mine much sooner." He laughed and winked at her.
