(A/N hello everyone, just wanted to say really quickly that Drizzt is just barely older than a year so he can walk and talk and stuff but is still completely helpless. Kay thanks bye.)

Artemis and Jarlaxle decided they would head out to a small village nearby and spend the night there, then head for Luskan and if they had no luck there, to Silverymoon. With Drizzt wrapped up in one of his own blankets from his pack and his stuff gathered up by Jarlaxle, they set off. It did not take long, about an hour, to get to the village and Drizzt slept the whole time, and only started to stir when Jarlaxle was paying for a room for the night but he did not start waking up fully until they were inside the room. Drizzt looked up at Artemis in a confused daze but quickly shook it off and realized who was carrying him. He squirmed and tried to get away but Artemis held him tighter and looked down at him.

"So you're finally awake then? About time." Artemis set Drizzt on the floor and knelt down in front of him. Drizzt backed off when he saw how much bigger than him Artemis was and clenched his fists.

"You've been asleep for hours, brat, if I wanted to kill you while you're like this then I would have already done so," Artemis said, glaring down slightly at him.

Like this? What is he talking about? As he thought this, Drizzt looked down at himself and nearly passed out. Not only was he naked except for a blanket, he was tiny! He could not tell how old he was now but he knew he was really young if he could judge by his size and how strong the urge to start flat out crying in front of his enemy was. Drizzt looked back up at the human and glared at him but the effect was diminished due to his size and the tears welling up in his big lavender eyes.

"W-what happened? W-why am I… Little?" Drizzt's now tiny high-pitched voice trembled slightly but he stood up as tall as he could and wiped away his tears before they could fall. Artemis was silent for a moment before he decided to just tell Drizzt the truth. Or at least part of it.

"The spring in the cavern we were fighting in had magical properties and transformed you into an infant before we could see who the best is." He paused for another moment before continuing, "We are taking you to Luskan to reverse this, so we can continue." Drizzt looked up at him with a sour look on his chubby face.

"I don't wanna fight you, I don't like you you're not nice." He turned away from Artemis and crossed his arms. When Artemis heard him say that he was slightly shocked by the childish way Drizzt spoke but kept a cool expression, "I don't care if you don't like me brat, you owe me for even attempting to turn you back when I could've let you die in that cave," Artemis said harshly. Drizzt backed up a couple steps, biting his lip with one of his few teeth, and fell back on his rear-end. Unwilling tears immediately came to his eyes which he wiped away quickly but not before Artemis saw them.

"Quit crying," Artemis said rolling his eyes slightly. He picked Drizzt up and set him on the bed more gently than Drizzt would have expected. Right as he was set down, the door to the hall opened and Jarlaxle walked in with a grin on his face and a small bag of items in his hands.

"Ah I see you're awake," Jarlaxle said as he walked to Drizzt and set the bag down. Jarlaxle picked Drizzt up, proceeding to take a long look at him. "Hmmmm, you're filthy. When was the last time you bathed?" Drizzt blushed at the question and looked away, pulling the blanket wrapped around him closer. Smirking, Jarlaxle carried Drizzt to the bathroom to give the tiny drow a bath. He plopped Drizzt into the tub that already had some warm water in it and started to wash Drizzt against his will.

"Stop! I can wash myself!" Drizzt cried out, terrified of what a pervert like Jarlaxle might do.

"Oh hush I doubt you can." Jarlaxle continued to scrub Drizzt down until he practically sparkled then wrapped in a towel and carried him back to the bedroom. Artemis had left and went presumably downstairs, leaving Drizzt with Jarlaxle for now. He placed Drizzt on the bed and got some stuff out of the bag from before and carefully laid it out next to him.

"Where's my old stuff?" Drizzt asked somewhat nervously, worried that they had left all his personal items but also worried that Jarlaxle took anything of his.

"Don't worry about it, I have everything you dropped." Jarlaxle told him and got one last item out of the bag. But before Jarlaxle could do anything else, there was a knock at the door. He went to answer it and Drizzt took the opportunity to see what Jarlaxle got. There were normal things like clothes and shoes, though they were more cutesy than Drizzt would have liked, but there were also things like bottles and baby toys and even a pacifier. The more stuff Drizzt found the more irritated he became until finally he lost it when he saw some diapers. "I don't need any of this stuff, I'm not a baby!" He said as he wrapped his towel around him tighter, kind of resembling a little snowball.

Jarlaxle turned away from the lovely redhead housekeeping maid he was talking to and looked at Drizzt in exaggerated exasperation, attempting to copy the look on parents' faces when confronted with grumpy children. It succeeded, causing the maid to rub his shoulder sympathetically.

"Maybe I could help you get him ready for bed? That was what you were doing right?" Jarlaxle nodded.

"He just never wants to go to sleep," He sighed in mock defeat. "Your help would be greatly appreciated." Jarlaxle gently grabbed the maid's hand and kissed it, causing her to blush as red as her hair. She came into the room as Jarlaxle moved aside going over to where Drizzt sat on the bed, which made him burrow down further into the towel wrapped around him.

"Awwww aren't you just the cutest thing…" The redhead said as she gently started to unwrap the towel. Drizzt scooted away from her and pulled it back around him.

"Come on little guy, it's getting late and you can't sleep naked!" Her tone was that of one speaking to a child with her voice more high-pitched than when talking to Jarlaxle and was overtly happy. "Now get over here," she commanded gently but Drizzt just shook his head moved away further. He quickly realized however that that was a bad idea, as the maid grabbed him and laid him down in front of her on the bed and unwrapped the towel more forcefully than before.

"Don't worry baby, I'll be done soon," she said to him. Drizzt fought against her the whole time, not paying attention to what she put on him and did not notice Jarlaxle watching them.

"There, all done little one…" The redhead picked him up and kissed his cheek before handing him to Jarlaxle. "Feel free to call me up anytime," the maid added to Jarlaxle with a wink and a seductive smile, then left.

Chuckling, Jarlaxle placed Drizzt on his hip and closed the door.

"It appears that Artemis will be on his own tonight," he said to Drizzt. "Now stay here while I go get him." Jarlaxle set Drizzt on one of the two chairs in the room and left, making sure to lock the door behind him. Drizzt got up immediately and went to the door, he reached for the handle but was too short. He pouted slightly before he got an idea. A few minutes later Drizzt had pulled a chair over, had climbed on top of it, and just finished unlocking the door with a spare key carelessly left on the dresser. But just as he was about to open it himself, the door opened revealing Artemis, looking none too happy, on the other side.

"What are you doing?"

Drizzt started to say something but thought better of it and stayed silent. Artemis picked him up and carried him to one of the beds, then laid him down and got himself ready for bed.

"I'm not-" Drizzt yawned, "Tired…" He finished. Artemis ignored him, now finished getting ready and turned off the lantern lighting the room.
