Artemis looked between the two 'Lords' as they bickered. The small one seemed to be full of wisdom. Thank goodness he'd told her to 'not fall off' of the gryphon. Who knew what she'd have done without his advice. She looked back at the gryphon, who seemed to be losing her mind with excitement at the thought of flying. Artemis was suddenly glad she'd yet to eat anything. 

[color=darkturquoise]"Nura,"[/color] she said. The gryphon paused for half a second to look at her before bounding over and nearly knocking Artemis to the floor. A foot was forced back to brace herself, and Artemis raised her hands to try and push off 300 lbs of feathers nuzzling into her. Yeah, she figured, Nura would work out fine. 

[color=darkturquoise]"I've ridden a horse before,"[/color] Artemis said while trying to control Nura. The gryphon wouldn't keep still, insistent and curious, sniffing at her neck, her hair, her clothes. [color=darkturquoise]"Never bareback."[/color] She was kinda miffed that she'd have to ride barefoot though. It meant she'd stolen the boots from the Witch for nothing. [color=darkturquoise]"First and only priority I have is not dying. Find some food, water, a safe place to sleep I guess."[/color] She needed to get her bearings. Artemis glanced over her shoulder at the two men. A thoughtful eyebrow raised. 

[color=darkturquoise]"The sun-child with the white Lantern has the blue one, too. Almost got the red one earlier. She's trying to free the dragon."[/color] Artemis had no idea if the sun-child Reckley was talking about was the same one she'd met with the blue Lantern. She was just curious what sort of reaction that would get. These men were still strangers, after all. Curiosity and caution mixed together to prompt her search for information.

Nura blindsided her with an extra shove and Artemis tumbled to the ground in a prone heap with a yelp. The gryphon seized the opportunity for more nuzzling.
