Artem "Focus Fire"/Rewards
Artem: I heard you talking with Kiki about self-defense training. What was all that about?
You: I'm planning on working out! I want to get in shape and be able to defend myself!
Artem: It's good that you have safety awareness, but...
You: Sometimes, I get the urge to work out...
Artem: Working out in moderation is good for the body, but...
Artem: Are you feeling insecure because of what happened to me and my mentor? Is that why you want to work out?
You: Don't worry. I just want to be more capable!
Artem: Good. You are preparing for challenges ahead. I expect no less from you.
You: It scared me a little. Maybe I'm just overthinking it...
Artem: It's my fault for scaring you.
Artem: However, whether it be a NXX case, or at work, I would never let you get in harm's way.
You: You said that you don't want me to shoulder everything myself... I...
You: I know I can always count on you, but I also want to be more capable myself.
You: I want to be able to protect you too, so that you won't have to shoulder everything yourself.
Artem: Don't... shoulder everything myself?
Artem: I...
You: I know I can always count on you... to the extent that it makes me want to slack off at times...
You: But, I don't want you to shoulder everything. I need to be more capable so that I can help you.
Artem: It makes me feel better knowing that you rely on me as well.
Artem: ...That's the first time anyone has said that to me.
You: Don't get me wrong! I don’t mean to question your abilities. I just...
Artem: No worries. I know what you meant to say.
Artem: I know what you mean. It... means a lot to me.
You: Do you... think that I'm too full of myself?
Artem: Of course not. What you've said...
Artem: Means a lot to me.
Artem: If you're interested, I can continue teaching you how to shoot over the weekend.
Artem: We can also go to that restaurant by Stellis River. I know you've been wanting to go there for some time now.
