Minako chuckled softly and reached out a hand to help steady Artemis. She wasn't sure if he'd take it or not, but the offer was there for him to either reject or accept her help.

Artemis looked at her hand for a few seconds. Taking it wouldn't be manly either... But if he didn't take it, he would most definitely fall a couple of times and look like an idiot...which wasn't any more manly. He took Minako's hand, letting out an almost inaudible 'thank you'.

Minako could sense that he was hanging onto whatever sense of dignity he had left, and laughing at him, would cause more harm that good. So with a curt nod, Minako slowly released his hand once she was sure that he at least had his balance back. “Wait until the other see you, you’ll never be allowed to live this down.”

He could only answer with a slight, almost inaudible nervous laughter as he was scratching the back of his head. Well, at least now he was standing. And heck, it wasn't as hard as he thought! He was already getting a hang of it!
"Oh well, now Luna will have new stuff to tease me about. There wasn't much on a kitty to critic except the messy fur." he said, rolling his eyes.

Minako gave another nod. "Oh it won't be that bad Artemis. You can just tease Luna back now"

"Oh, that, I will!" he said, with a determined look, almost losing his balance. He frowned.
*I am definitely not seeing her before I can walk properly.* he thought, while imagining the little kitty girl mocking him. "Definitely not." he said, out loud, with a half-smile.

Minako reacted merely out of instinct, her hand clamping around his wrist to keep him from toppling over again. While she didn't have the slightest clue as to how this little change had happend, it had. The other would need to be told about it. "We'll have to tell the others, sooner or later. But for now... until perhaps we can figure out what cause it, we keep it between ourselves?"

"Yeah." Artemis approved. Of course they would have to tell them, but it was safer to keep it between themselves for now. He crossed his arms, still thinking about that strange woman he met before coming back home. Maybe she was responsible for this... maybe not...

"Penny for your thoughts?" Minako prompted softly as she pulled him over to the couch and sat him down, taking a seat next to him. "There's gotta be something going round in that head of yours"

Looked like he couldn't hide anything from her. And anyways, he'd have to tell her about it, if it ended up being that woman's doing.
"Y-yeah... It's about that woman I met on my way back..." he said, before telling her the whole story without going through too much details.

Minako's frown replaced her current smile. She was leaning towards perhaps this transformation wasn't as divine as they had orignially thought. Knowing now that Artemis had been picked up by one of the women at her concert made her more worried. She glanced up at Artemis. "But nothing bad's happend yet, so perhaps nothing will."

He shrugged. "Maybe..." he said hesitantly. Maybe nothing would happen, but they couldn't be sure of it. The last thing he'd want was to see his friends suffer because of him. He would definitely not let that happen. Ever...

"Ano.. Smile Artemis. Forever reason, this can't all be a bad thing."

Artemis looked at Minako and forced a small smile. She was right. Why worry about something that may never happen?
"Yeah. You're right."

"Besides at least on the bright side, you can come on my walks and actually talk to me now" She said with a smile.
