A lie? Oh, if only it was. If only Artemis was still alone in his own head. He would appreciate it so much more if he could go back to that silence now. Maybe if he was far away from other humans...
"All right, perhaps that was a bit much," Artemis said with a faint smile. "I probably shouldn't have said anything."
Apparently though, telling the truth disguised as a lie had only made Kakashi even more eager to know where Artemis had gotten information about the falling rocks. It must have been something important--something important that Kakashi didn't want to talk about.
"I have no doubt that you can figure out how I know such a thing. It is easy to track the things I post on the bulletin, since I tend to sign my name to every post I make. Or you could ask Haku. If he trusts you enough, he'll probably tell you. I tell him everything, after all."
If Haku trusted Kakashi enough to tell him what had been done to Artemis, that was enough for him. He couldn't continue to hide what had happened from everyone he didn't implicitly trust. Besides, what did it matter if he was weaker now? He had people to stand around him while he rebuilt his castle.
Re: Spoilers for Kakashi's backstory. Just in case.
