Badou had to laugh at that one. "Figures." Of course, the mysteries of knitting were the one thing that still baffled Artemis. At least he wasn't being laughed at. Maybe the world wasn't full of assholes, and it was just Haine. And Naoto. And everyone he associated with on a regular basis.

Or maybe Artemis had enough self-preservation instinct to avoid risking death-by-fork.

"I was raised by a delinquent." Badou replied flatly. "I figured I should pick up anything that might be useful. Knitting was slow and boring as hell, but he bet me I couldn't learn how to do it and I was a stupid kid."
