Artemis was not squeamish.
"Wow! Awesome! I wish I had a scar like that! But burnt? D'you get hit with a blast-ended skrewt, or what?"
She leaned in, fascinated. Artemis looked up momentarily as Kida addressed Arisa. Having no idea what it was about, she looked between them with a mixture of both perplexity and amusement, although having the sense not to question.
Artemis let out a merry giggle as the daisy in Arisa's hair winked at her. She turned around, surprised and delighted to see Sern over her shoulder. Apparently forgetting what happened in the forest.
"Well, hey! This is a happy party, innit?"
Without hesitation, she bounced over to him and gave him a surprisingly strong hug with her thin, tiny arms. Sern felt as if a cord of iron had locked around his chest. She let him go as another person addressed her. It was the boy she had turned her wand upon.
Artemis gave him a slightly smaller but equally bright smile, although a slight wrinkling above her nose betrayed her distaste.
"Hello to you, as well!"
