Jace spun around and gave Artemis a thumbs up, "Alright, not a problem!" and turned back around, immediately tripping over a sign for a clothing store, then landing on his face.  Not only did he now have competition for the woman he had a huge crush on, he just ruined his suit and made himself look like an idiot that had no short term memory.  The mimic sighed and got up, dusted himself off and fixed the sign that may have just been traumatized, and resumed his B-line for the infirmary.  Ugh... he was getting a night working the bar now, he was sure of it.

	Gallus looked up at Artemis, a comically-sized watermelon cube partially in his beak.  He dropped it and turned to face the girl, then answered in an equally hushed tone.  "Slow down, Casanova.  Are you sure you wanna be going out with the guy that, oh what did he do again..?  Oh yeah, [b]murders all our friends?[/b]"  The bird squawked angrily and ruffled his feathers, having a grudge against Toby, ever since Jace had gone into the butcher's shop one day looking for him in regards to the man who was missing a finger earlier.  He'd seen one of his best friends, a chicken named Issac, get brutally executed with a dull, bloody cleaver and forced to run around without a head for the masochist's amusement.

	In reality, it was clean.  A freshly sharpened knife and the body was held down until the nerves stopped firing, but Gallus' mind had a field day coming up with a way to demonize anyone who worked in that accursed shop.
