[nospaces] He was bored. [break][break] Extremely bored. [break][break] And that was why he was out exploring some farm and its lands. Maybe he'd get shot at by the owner, provided the gun didn't blow up in the owner's face. Either situation would be funny to him, and the whole lead up would give him something to do. He should probably find better ways to cure his boredom than to sneak onto private property and antagonise its owners or steal from it, but, can he be bothered? Nope. [break][break] A person who didn't want to get caught would have lingered a bit too long out in the fields nearest the barn. Artemis, however, wanted to be caught, and so he lingered long enough for someone to see him - from a distance he couldn't really tell what kind of person was, and he didn't stick around for longer. Instead, he made his way over to the barn, opening the door and leaving it slightly ajar as he made his way up into the hayloft to wait for today's victim. [break][break] ( IKE BOND )

he isn't the first to see the fire, but he is the first to see someone or something leaving the scene. his parents and siblings are rushing around, along with the farmhand his father hired not too long ago to help deal with the crops and animals - "just in case," his father told him. he debates helping them with the problem, but as it dies out, he figures it would be better to follow whatever he saw.
he sort of follows it until he loses sight of whatever he saw, and he sighs a little bit. but then he realises that the barn door is open, and he doesn't remember anyone going in it recently, unless...
with his fingers wrapped tightly against the handle of his trusty hoe he enters the barn. there is no one there as far as he can see, so he speaks up, "is anyone here?"

[nospaces] He could smell the smoke from even in here, and he briefly wondered whether the small fire he had made had completely escalated to being a fullblown fire. When he looked out between some of the panels to over where he started the fire, he saw a bunch of people rushing about, but he couldn't see the fire itself. Well, whatever. It didn't really matter to him. [break][break] But then he heard the creak of the barn doors and he immediately snapped his gaze to the entrance to the barn in a manner not unlike that of an excited puppy. Sure enough, someone walked in, holding a - was that a hoe? That was something new. Grinning a little to himself, Artemis called back to the other, making his way to the edge of the hayloft to flop down and let his legs dangle. "Gosh, you're a bit blind, aren't you?" Of course, referring to the fact that the other person didn't immediately see him up in the hayloft. Artemis leaned back on his hands as he swung his legs, grinning down at the other.

ike whips around holding his hoe out in front of him like a sword forged of steel. his lips quickly turns to a frown and his eyebrows knit together. "well, uh... maybe," he mumbles under his breath, maybe just loud enough for the stranger to hear him. he does have to admit that missing this guy was a rather big fail on his part but... (well he doesn't have anything to go after but, but it makes him feel a little better)
at first, ike doesn't believe this is the guy who set the field on fire, but then he figures it's not particularly hard to set a field on fire so his suspicion kind of dissolves. however, he keeps his hoe steady and somehow manages to get his brain back on track. "my sight has nothing to do with what i'm doing here though!" he says. "you're the one who started the fire right?"

[nospaces] The moment the other person had turned to face him, Artemis raised his hand to wave him a mock hello. He cocked his head to the side when the other mumbled a response to his comment, a mumble only just loud enough for Artemis to hear. Huh, interesting. The guy got off track kind of easy. Usually a person who found someone else in their barn would immediately be like, "who are you?" or "what are you doing here?" Something along those lines anyway. [break][break] But then, the guy gets back on track, but Artemis's smile doesn't falter as he keeps on swinging his legs. "I don't know. Maybe I was? Or maybe the crops were a bit dry and the sun set them on fire." That sort of thing did happen, right? [break][break] ( IKE BOND )

"hey! our crops are perfectly healthy and not dry, how would that even be possible," he asks. honestly, ike doesn't know if he's more offended at the thought of this guy thinking they take bad care of their crops or the thought that this guy actually thought he would fall for that... because he totally didn't, at all.
"you better not try anymore funny business, especially not in this barn," ike says as he starts waving his hoe around attempting to be threatening. "in fact, i think you should just come down from up there before anything else is burnt to crisps."
ike knows full well of all the hay up there, and he also knows full well just how easily hay burns.

[nospaces] Artemis raised an eyebrow at the boy's objection. Boy, not man. This guy really did not seem as grown up as Artemis initially thought him to be. Regardless, he found himself shrugging and giving a simple of, "Sun's really hot." Honestly, he was bullshitting his way through this. [break][break] Funny business? Artemis's almost bewildered look quickly became replaced by the original expression of mischief, and amusement as he watched the farmboy wave the hoe around. "Well then, if you insist on me coming down... I need a reason to do so."[break][break] What better reason than a fire starting amongst all the hay? [break][break] ( IKE BOND )

"but it doesn't set fire to everything just because it's possibly dry-" ike says. "-and our crops definitely aren't dry!"
ike feels like he's missing something (like how artemis is just running him in circles like an idiot) but he can't seem to figure out what he's missing. he figures if it's important, he'll remember it. he sighs when the other male speaks up again. "a reason? how about if you come down now, i'll let you run off before my family gets a chance to check in here, but if you don't... i rat you out?"
ike feels hesitant with this suggestion, mainly because if this guy actually set fire to the crops, he could probably set fire to him pretty easily - with or without direct sunlight - and that kinda scares him, a lot.

[nospaces] In what way at all was a hoe threatening? The boy wielded it as though it was an extension of his arm, something akin to Artemis and his sword. He wielded it, brandished it, held it as though it were a weapon. Artemis had honestly thought the farmer had just been hoeing the ground somewhere - but now it just looked like he actually used the hoe in combat, and that was just ridiculous. [break][break] Though, he guessed it could act like a scythe in a way. [break][break] ”Maybe they are dry, though. Maybe you don’t know what constitutes dry and not-dry.” Right now, he had absolutely no idea what he was going on about. Crops were definitely not his strong suit, but clearly this boy’s since he did live on a farm. Artemis was going to leave it there. [break][break] That reason just wasn’t good enough for him. Not in the slightest. Artemis had a small pout on his lips as he looked down at the other person with a bored expression on his face. ”Even if you do rat me out, I can easily run away.” Artemis was a thief, hell, not even just a thief, but that was the simplest way of putting it. You could call him a spy if you wanted. Either way, he had trained in infiltrating even the highest security buildings and camps, and he had trained himself in getting out - be it alone or followed by enemies. ”And if you tell on me to the authorities, they won’t eeever find me. And I’ll rip down every single poster they put up.” That was one of the many things he did in his life, mostly because it would affect his tailoring business, and he didn’t quite like the thought of being hunted down by pretty much the whole of the country. Well, being looked out for. That was the reason why he also wore a mask when he did his more illegal work - just to keep people from seeing his face. [break][break] ”Oh.” He could hear a crackle, smell smoke. ”Oh dear. The hayloft is on fire, looks like I’m coming down!” And there it was - a fire had started amongst all the hay, courtesy of Artemis and his mischief that came from boredom. He didn’t even pause after his words as he kicked his legs and jumped down to the floor of the barn, landing lightly - not really, he stumbled, but only a little. Now only some way from the hoe-wielder extraordinaire, Artemis gave him a wide grin. ”So, I’m down. You gonna rat me out?”[break][break] ( IKE BOND - this is so long im so sorry... EDIT: WHY IS THIS SO FUCKIGN LONG????? )

honestly, ike isn't paying much attention to the other man. the words are flowing one ear and out the other until he hears the layloft is on fire and he knows in that exact moment he should've never come in here.
he wants to cry, his dad is going to kill him. at this point, he literally doesn't care about the other man because he's now go bigger fish to fry and a whole barn to save. ike ignores whatever the fire maniac says and runs outside the barn and faces towards the field, cupping his hands around his mouth as he yells, "FIRE IN THE BARN."
his father yells back, something ike doesn't quite catch but figures is an acknowledgement of his son's yelling. ike turns back to artemis, looking more upset than angry because jesus christ how could he have been so stupid. if someone was heartless enough to set crops on fire, they're heartless enough to do the same to a helpless wooden barn. "it obviously doesn't matter to you if i rat you out, so how about you make it easier on the both of us and scram before my family gets over here," ike asks, praying to the Goddess that he does decide to leave because he doesn't know how much more of all this setting fire to fields and setting fire to haylofts he can take.

[nospaces] Artemis stood, head tilted to one side with a small grin on his face, one hand on his hip as he watched the other boy shout to his family, presumably, in the field. The fire above him didn't worry him, not entirely. He could stand heat better than most it felt, but he did have his limits. Still, being a firefighter could have been a good option for him. Buildings on fire weren't as hard to traverse through as others made them out to be. [break][break] He knew from experience. [break][break] Oh, crap. This wasn't what he wanted at all. When the farmer turned back to him, what Artemis was an expression of pure, seething loathing. Anger. What he got was the expression of someone feeling distressed and hurt. That stirred something inside him that he really didn't want to feel. [break][break] But, he wasn't going to let that feeling show. Artemis's grin just widened. "Sure. I can't risk more people seeing my face, can I?" He should really invest in a mask when he decided to be mischievous. It would make it a lot easier when he was stealing things too - there was less chance of people seeing his face with a mask than with an oversized hood. "Good luck with getting rid of the fire!" Turning around, Artemis started heading for the other side of the barn, where he had noticed a second set of doors. He'd rather take those than the one the farming family were like to come in through. [break][break] /exit, end thread [break][break] ( IKE BOND )
