"When I was a kid I used to wish I had different parents and lived a glamorous life amongst celebrities but that didn't mean I would tell them that," Chloe said annoyed now. She had tried to be nice to him but he was just getting so angry and cold and she didn't know what she had done really. "And I'm sorry but at least I apologise when I mess up you just think you don't need to because you're the praetor. " Chloe's voice shook slightly as she finished but she felt a wave of relief that she had gotten that out and she could the tension which had started at her fingertips radiate through her body.
((She's a bit annoyed at him one could say))

"Oh, of course. On the blade then, thanks" Cassia replied.
It was so nice of him to be doing all of this for her, so sweet. She hadn't had anyone go out of their way for her like this in a long time, she had to admit.
She was amazed by how unbothered he seemed by the heat of the forge or the sweat, which was rolling off him. She was actually quite impressed

"Yes very true. I personally prefer magic but the idea of weaponry and beauty does so too. Like with daughters of Venus. Some of them get charmspeak." She said to Burleigh. "Very good is it not?"

I’m blaming this on the brother-sibling fights that Jupiter and Neptune normally have. xD]
Jacob pulled his hair slightly. He stood up and whirled around before he yelled, “You think I don’t apologize?! I have the stress and the problems of this WHOLE camp, and if I make a wrong move or decision, the whole camp can be destroyed! I apologize for EVERYTHING I do wrong. Big or small. In the past few years, I’ve apologized for my screw ups more than you or I or ANYONE ELSE can count!” He was breathing heavily, and he blinked, realizing what was happening. The atmosphere went back to normal, and he blinked back tears as he slid to his knees. He said in a broken voice, “I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry I took my anger and stress out on you. I’m sorry.” He ran a hand through his hair, whispering one last time, “I’m sorry.” He then stood up, turned, and ran off.
[ Is it bad that I loved typing this up? xD I love drama. I’m sorry if it’s too much, btw. ]

Zach nodded and took out some tools meant for inscribing in metal after he had placed the blade back down. He looked at the sketchbook and started drawing out the pattern to perfection. Every once in a while, he created a small flame in his hand to heat up the blade a little bit to make it easier to draw the pattern in the blade. “Do you want the pattern on one side or both?” He was almost finished with the drawing on the side of the blade he was on. He brushed off sweat on his face to make sure the sweat didn’t fall on the blade, and he brushed his now wet, sweaty hand on his pants.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Burleigh asked, “What? Charmspeak? Charmspeak is all well and good sometimes, but if used too much, people can come off as mean and pushy and bossy. Then, they’re known as a bully, and no one truly likes them.”

(I love how chill Zach is and then Jacob is just having a full on meltdown)
"Oh, whichever's easier for you to do, I guess" Cassia replied to his question with a small smile "I honestly don't mind either way, so this one is totally your decision. Whatever you want, honestly"
She brushed a piece of jet black hair behind her ear, hazel eyes keenly trained on his actions as she watched him drawing the pattern, a smile growing on her face as she watched the whole design coming together in front of her. It was amazing, really. He was so talented.

Chloe buried her head into her hands as she saw Jacob run off. She let out a few choking tears and the they ran hot down her face. How did she always mess everything up so much this wasn't normal was it she didn't know anyone else who messed up or made the same amount of mistakes as she did. "Stupid girl," she said to herself under her breath before wiping the tears off her face but even as all traces of tears came off her cheeks she knew her eyes would be still bloodshot and that her nose would be red. She looked back to see if she could still see Jacob but whilst he was in her vision he wouldn't be for much longer and Chloe was too tired to chase after him and apologise for the countless times and instead she sunk down so that she was sitting in the floor back pressed against the railings, her legs curled in to form a foetal position as her tears now fell unhindered.
((Not quite sure where this came from I think it's how I've been feeling as I try to write a history essay which was due in yesterday))

"I don't think it needs anything," Cassia replied "but then I don't have a great eye for these kinds of things, not like you. So whatever you think"
Cassia didn't usually like leaving things to other people, but she felt okay leaving this to Zach. She felt like she was in safe hands here, so that was okay,

'That sounds good to me.' Aquila said sheepishly, holding out the javelin to the child of Minerva. In all honesty, he just didn't want to show himself up in front of her, or in front of all the people there- since he didn't know what he was doing, this situation seemed likely. Aquila just wanted to live up to his blood; to live up to what was expected of him and be that son of Jupiter, the son of the King God himself. It was stressful, and filled him with anxiety- not that he didn't already have anxiety- which really did not help his situation at all.... not to mention the fact that his half-brother was the Praetor.
((Sorry again that it took so long))

"Oh, uh, right, sorry" Cassia replied with a blush, a little embarrassed that there was so much she hadn't told him about the make of her sword "I forgot. It's round."

Chloe entered the boxing place quietly her feet scarcely making a sound against the matted floor. She was looking for Jacob to apologise mainly as once she had calmed down and stopped seeing red she had realised how harsh she had been on him and how she had taken all her anger at everything this week out on him which was was bad for her to do to anything but worse still because he was praetor and thus leader of the legion. She leant against the wall waiting for Jacob to finish up because she couldn't bring herself to stop him from boxing. There was something somewhat mesmerising about his movements as they were fluid like a viper or some form of predator and she couldn't keep her eyes off him as he practised his boxing and suddenly she understood what he had said before about really practising.

"Hey," Chloe said rather pointlessly considering that Jacob had already noticed her but she said it anyway. She folded her hands into her hoodie pocket as she stood awkwardly unsure of exactly what to say considering that she was clearly interrupting something. As he met her eyes she could see that he too had been crying but before she could do anything he glanced away from her. Chloe pushed herself off the wall that she had been leaning on so she was now standing on her own two feet though still a fair distance away from Jacob.

'Of course I'm paying attention.' Aquila murmured, his gaze very much intently set on the woman as she moved, keen eyes taking in every move and how she did it, wanting to be at his best when he would finally give it a go for himself. When she destroyed the dummy he arched his eyebrows and even gave her a grin. 'Impressive.'

"I came to say sorry," Chloe said without looking at Jacob keeping her eyes averted to the ground because part of her was afraid of what she might see in them. She had gotten really angry as had he and she didn't know what or how much this would've changed from the balanced clocklike way her life normally ran peaceful and not making waves. Well she'd messed that up she thought a bitter smile curving across her lips. She chanced a glance upwards through her lashes to see if she could read Jacob's face but she couldn't it was impassive like a stone slab.

"Well if you hadn't realised already I'm very good at things I 'm not supposed to do," Her voice was quiet and faint but it carried undercurrents of her normal spunkiness and confidence which Chloe hadn't even realised she'd been missing. She smiled less bitterly than she had earlier but it wasn't a warm natural smile which normally graced her face and instead it was a cool smile which was almost calculating, "So sorry." Having said this she bowed her head towards the ground but another warmer smile cross her face as she looked down and this time it reached her eyes properly.

Aquila quietly nodded and accepted the javelin from her, moving to a dummy. He hesitated a moment, before taking a deep breath and starting to attack it. He was a little clumsy at first, as would be expected, but soon enough he was moving with the grace of a demigod, eyes focused as he hacked up the dummy. When he finished, he turned to face her, panting heavily. 'I am so ready for the war games tonight.' He said, vicious relish in his voice, excited to play for the first time.

*late like* Sorry, Semper. xD ] Zach nodded and went back to crafting the hilt. He finished and gripped it. He turned it around and held it out to Cassia. " See if that's like your old grip. The grip is everything on a sword. It's as important as the blade." He offered a small smile before checking on the blade again for any cracks or warping as it cooled in the organic air. Cassia glanced at the grip, eyes scanning over it "No, it looks perfect. Just like my old grip. You're doing really well with this - you know more about my sword than I do, to be honest" She was unashamed to say this - he was very skilled

Jacob nodded as he looked up. “Alright. It’s fine, Chloe. You didn’t mean anything by it. You were just defending yourself and retaliating in any way you can.” He smiled softly, but the smile didn’t quite reach his eyes. It seemed like he was still bothered or upset by something, but he didn’t say anything about it. He had so many thoughts whirling around his head, and he couldn’t get them organized or slowed down. He sat down on a bench and leaned forward, placing his elbows on his knees looking like he had the weight of the world on his shoulders.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Elianna grinned and clapped as Aquila finished his movements. "Yes, you are! Now, don't doubt your instincts. Go with the flow and let your movements flow like you just did." She paused before asking,"Do you want to practice with me now?"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Zach shrugged. "I admire good workmanship, and I remember that workmanship." He gave her a small smile before grabbing an instrument to carve, and he carved something in the pommel of the hilt. It was simply Cassia's initials in really pretty, fancy writing. He then put the handle on the blade and did some tinkering before the sword transformed into a fancy, gold link bracelet. He held it out to Cassia and said,"Try it out."

"Just yell at me or something already," Chloe said sighing before perching on the end of the bench that Jacob was sitting on. She didn't get what was going on with him as Jacob still seemed to have so much built up anger in him and even though she had apologised he didn't seem to let bygones be bygones and forgive her whilst he pretended that everything was okay. She just wanted him to yell at her and get it all over with but Jacob wouldn't do that she knew as he prized control over everything else. "Just don't give me this garbage about everything being fine," she said relatively quietly but she knew that Jacob would be able to hear her.

Aquila took in a deep breath, and nodded. 'Yes- I'll train with you.' He accepted. He was still nervous about fighting another person, but now that he knew that he could fight, he wanted to test his skills for real before that night's games.

Jacob shook his head. “Yelling at you wouldn’t do anything but cause more problems. I don’t need any more problems, really.” He let out a rueful chuckle as he thought of everything on his plate. He had to run the camp, which wasn’t as easy as it seemed, and he had to make sure there were no major disputes between campers that would be detrimental to the camp. Not to mention, he had to keep up with his training, his campers’ training, and everyone’s lives in Camp Jupiter. Including people in New Rome. He shook his head slightly, as if he could just shake off his thoughts. “I’m not giving you garbage about everything being fine. I’m saying that whatever happened between us is fine. Forgiven. Forgotten. Left in the past. Everything is far from fine when you’re Praetor, even when you try your hardest not to mess anything up.” He sighed and ran a hand through his sweat-damp hair, making a little spray of sweat shower on his shoulders. His hair was already drying from the sweat and water.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Elianna nodded. “Alright. Now, don’t be scared if you hurt me on accident. We always have Ambrosia and Nector. Stuff like that.” She went over to her weapons and picked up her daggers, twirling them around as she turned to face Aquila. She got into her stance and nodded as she said, “Whenever you’re ready, Aquila.” She didn’t want to push the newbie too far or too hard.
