A muscle went in Artemis' face when Kakashi opened his book and began reading of all things. Honestly, would it kill Kakashi to put off reading until he wasn't having a conversation with someone? Kakashi had no idea that Artemis hated it when people wouldn't even look at him while speaking--as though he wasn't worth the effort.

No doubt Kakashi had noticed Artemis' irritation, mostly because the boy had made no move to hide it. He had no reason to, after all. He wasn't trying to win Kakashi's favor.

Artemis looked back at Kakashi coolly, down at the spine of the book, then back up at him.

"Jack London is a terrible writer. I wonder why you would even bother," he said, trying to hold Kakashi's eyes.
