"I didn't know you liked jazz, Artemis."

He raised an eyebrow at her. "Contrary to popular belief, I am not strictly a classical amante."

Holly shook her head. "No, I don't mean it that way. Jazz is just so...free-flowing. It doesn't remind me of you at all."

"I'm sorry I don't fit my stereotype, Holly," he said, a smirk on his face.

She scowled as the song ended, then frowned as she recognized the next song. "This piece isn't originally jazz," she commented, without looking up.

"No."

"So?"

"It appealed to me."

A/N: This needs a little explaining. The title, "Night and Day" is a jazz song, which you can listen to here: www. youtube watch?v=0qMU17puYnw (Just remove the spaces). That is the song that is playing at first. The next song is "Isn't She Lovely", which is hopefully self-explanatory. You can listen to the version I'm thinking of here: www. youtube watch?v=bshMhIm5yrI (Again, just remove the spaces.)

I personally really enjoy jazz, and some of it is rather beautiful; I think Artemis would find much of it rather to his taste. Oh, and "amante" is "lover" in a couple different languages.

Toodles!
