It was bad enough tha Artemis had been interupted from his planning and relaxation at the Veil, but now he was being rushed into his conversation by a complete stranger. Not that it was uunusual for Artemis to meet strangers on an almost-daily basis, he was usually the one to do the conducting, even if he was being guided somewhere.
But this could potentially do him some good. He needs some company, because for whatever is in store for him, he'd probably need some back up, or at least someone he can turn to.
The last thing he needed was to be cornered without some assistance. At the moment, being completely vulnerable, he was actually missing Butler. The bodyguard was always with him, through thick and thin. And yet, he wasn't here to help. Artemis would have to go about alone for the first time.
Astonishingly, Hanako had referred to Izaya liking to play games. But her cheerfulness did not fool Artemis. He knew that there was going to be a battle of wits when he'd met Izaya.
The thought was almost comical. Meeting a well-skilled opponent. Classic old Artemis.
On a side note, Artemis' birthday was coming up. And though he had no one to celebrate with, his usual birthday's with mother and father weren't always what a genius would want. But the thought of it always made him feel...happy. It was rare occasion for him, but he enjoyed it. And his little 'game' with Izaya would no doubt be an enjoyful one.
