Usually when Aphrodite kicked him out, he went back to his own place. Or he found his twins and caused havoc. Today he didn't feel like going home, and the twins were busy with their own things. So he went for his default 'annoying siblings' routine. There were a few he got along with and he didn't feel like stabbing.

Artemis was one of them so after a few moments of hunting her down (there was a joke there), he'd found her apartment and knocked on the door. The worst she could do was tell him to leave, and then he'd just find other people to annoy. It was a big city afte rall.

Artemis had been reading, though she set her book and mug of tea aside when there was a knock at her door. Rising to answer it, she ran her fingers through her hair to look a bit presentable first.

When the door swung open she smiled at her brother. "Come in, Ares," she said, admitting him to the apartment. "To what do I owe the honour?"

[destroyerofmen.insanejournal.com]

"I'm bored and 'Dite kicked me out," he'd always prescribed to honesty. Sometimes painfully so. "And there's no one else to bother right now." He grinned and looked around, "sunshine not here? I owe him a punch to the face."

[purityuntainted.insanejournal.com]

As far as being bothered by her siblings went, at least when Ares did it he was interesting about it. "He's not here," she said, closing the door behind him. "Which I'm glad for since the two of you would probably destroy my apartment."

[destroyerofmen.insanejournal.com]

"I'd leave if you asked to," he had his own form of politeness. "And it wouldn't be me. I'd just hit him. If the prissy ass wants to take that farther I have nothing to do with it." Without asking he walked to her fridge to look into it. "Where is all your booze?"

[purityuntainted.insanejournal.com]

Artemis gave him an amused look, but she didn't defend Apollo. His relationship with Ares was none of her business. "I had some wine, but it's long gone by now. I tend to imbibe more in the winter at my hunting lodge in Montana."

[destroyerofmen.insanejournal.com]

He made a face, and closed the fridge, "how are you the one person that doesn't have a bar stocked? And I think I'll visit next winter. I'll bring the boys. They need to terrorize the bears I think. Be good for bonding." He turned to her, "speaking of bears hows it going? Still being boring and not having sex?"

[purityuntainted.insanejournal.com]

The idea of the terror twins terrorising bears was amusing, though she was always more about hunting than scaring helpless animals. "The company would be nice. And yes, I'm still 'being boring' as you put it. Seems to me sex just gets you kicked out of your own home."

[destroyerofmen.insanejournal.com]

He raised an eyebrow and smirked, "never said it was my own home moonshine. It's 'Dite's place. See me and her we figured us out a long time ago. We'll kill each other if we're stuck together. Don't get me wrong. Love that woman. Kill for her." He shrugged, "but she's a bitch to live with. And I need my space. So every time I want to I go to hers and stay there until she gets fed up with me trying to get into the pants of her nymphs. then I leave. The boys are busy today and most of my siblings I want to punch or get punched by so here I am." He extended his hands.

"And I don't feel like finding daddy dearest. Although I could weasel some money out of him at this point I gather. Anyway as your place lacks booze let's go kill something fuzzy and adorable."

[purityuntainted.insanejournal.com]

Artemis would have pointed out that it still seemed like more trouble that it was worth, but arguing with her siblings that chastity was the way to go always ended up being pointless.

She perked up when Ares suggested hunting. "Sounds like a good idea to me!" she said quickly.

[destroyerofmen.insanejournal.com]

He grinned, "great. I hope you got some spare weapons because mine are all at my place. I figure we head up to the forest nearby and see what we can bag."

[purityuntainted.insanejournal.com]

The look Artemis gave Ares was withering. "Of course I have weapons. They're in my car, so I'll drive." She stood and retrieved some shoes before leading him out of the apartment.

[destroyerofmen.insanejournal.com]

"Man you learned that from my mother didn't you? She does the same thing." He grinned as he followed her. "Which is fortunate, as I don't have a car."

WHY DO I SUCK SO BAD TODAY.

[purityuntainted.insanejournal.com]

Artemis tsked her tongue when Ares mentioned Hera, but she said nothing to avoid being disrespectful. "I think you not having a car is probably for the best," she said with a chuckle. They reached her vehicle and she climbed in, unlocking the door for him.

I think you're awesome!

[destroyerofmen.insanejournal.com]

He smirked and climbed into the car. "She does that too." as one of Hera's he felt he was allowed to poke fun, and be disrespectful. He tended to skirt the lines anyway. "I do have a bike though, but that one I found. It was pretty." He grinned.

WELL GOOD

[purityuntainted.insanejournal.com]

She just rolled her eyes, amused, as she pulled out of the car park and headed out of the city. "And I suppose you terrorise people on it?"

[destroyerofmen.insanejournal.com]

"I am hurt you would suggest that," he gave with a smirk, "but no. Terrorizing I leave to my boys. Road rage, however, is all sorts of amusing."

[purityuntainted.insanejournal.com]

"Not going to argue there," she said easily. "Some people need to be yelled at."

Soon enough, the city buildings were exchanged for trees and greenery. "Should we head farther out, or is here good enough?"

[destroyerofmen.insanejournal.com]

He shrugged, "fuck if I know moonshine. You're the expert in this endeavor. I'm just following along for the view."

[purityuntainted.insanejournal.com]

She continued for another fifteen minutes until she reached one of her favourite places to hunt.

Pulling the car over, she piled out and went to choose one of her favourite bows. "Here you go," she said, pointing to the trunk. "Weapons. Just don't shoot me."

[destroyerofmen.insanejournal.com]

"Aw," he gave with a smile as he picked up one of the bows. One of the advantages was he could pretty much pick this up without much troubles. "But I promise I won't shoot you. Montana has to be better though. At least you can find things that fights back."

[purityuntainted.insanejournal.com]

"It is," she nodded. "And sometimes I travel to Alaska to shoot a bear. I'll take you with me next time if you'd like."

[destroyerofmen.insanejournal.com]

He chuckled to that and picked up some arrows, "wow that's painfully ironic. But sure I'll go with. Sounds like it could be fun."

[purityuntainted.insanejournal.com]

Artemis closed the trunk and motioned him into the forest. "It's a lot of fun actually."

[destroyerofmen.insanejournal.com]

He followed at a distance where he wouldn't get an accidental arrow to the face. "Never said it wouldn't be."

[purityuntainted.insanejournal.com]

At the edge of the clearing, Artemis hunkered down and watched. "Sometimes you even see wolves out here, which is strange. I would have thought they were out of place."

[destroyerofmen.insanejournal.com]

That made him blink but he mimicked her, "they are. Man you are failing at hunter 101 here sis." He gave her a smirk, "but hey I'll take a wolf pelt."

[purityuntainted.insanejournal.com]

She arched her eyebrow at him and then shook her head, refusing to argue with him. "Wouldn't mind one myself."

[destroyerofmen.insanejournal.com]

"I think we got our prey then. Wolves it is." He glanced to the bow, "shoulda brought my guns. Way more efficient."
