Eris wrinkled her nose at the twisted thought of chopping off a leg and playing around with it just to reattach it later. She decided to keep messing around with the boy out of pure amusement at this point. Reaching into a dark shadow cast nearby by a large tree, she pulled a black longsword out. "Okay, pretty boy, let's get this operation over with." She ran a finger over the blade, a small trail of blood dripping off her index finger from the sharpness. "Should come off neat enough for a nice reattachment later." I wonder if it would be possible to reattach limbs like that... she almost snorted out loud. I'm sure there's some crazy voodoo witchcraft here that could?

Axel's eyes widened slightly, but he kept his composer. "You know, I'm not sure whether to tease you for calling me pretty boy or to run for my life because you just pulled a sword out of the shadows." He said sarcastically, but it was a genuine statement. He glanced her up and down and leaned forward. "Could you actually reattach my leg though? Like for real?"

Eris grinned, pleased with herself to have been able to catch him off guard with something, before shrugging. "Who knows. I sure couldn't only animate your corpse if you died." She wiggled her fingers like she was controlling a puppet. Eris wasn't entirely sure if she seriously could do that, but didn't see the harm in teasing him a little more. "Seems like something up a child of Apollo alley. I would ask them." She blinked, giving a legitimate response for seemingly the first time since their conversation began.

Axel eyed her oddly as she wiggled her fingers around. She looked like an evil witch experimenting with her potions. It was honestly amusing to watch. Axel practically gagged at her serious response, "Ew, God no, I can't stand a conversation with anyone here, I'd rather just not know." He said with a disgusted expression, glancing over his shoulders at scurrying campers by the pavilion.

Eris raised an eyebrow. "Can't stand a conversation with ANYONE here? Wow, I must admit my feelings have been most viciously wounded. Please, remove the knife you just slammed into my heart with such cold words. I thought you were enjoying my company." Her voice dripped with such extreme levels of sarcasm and drama it was like she was on a stage, acting. In truth, Eris couldn't care less if he wasn't having a decent time talking to her. No one ever did and it never bothered her.

Axel was a bit surprised at her dramatic act. He didn't expect sarcastic and dramatic teasing to be part of their conversation. Granted he didn't expect them to even be having this long of a conversation anyway, so maybe he just assumed wrongly about something for once in his life. Genuinely he wasn't completely sure how to respond. He was plenty sarcastic and dramatic, but not with actual people that weren't his family. In a lazy attempt to recover, he quickly covered his mouth with his hands and gasped. "Oh no! Oh the tragedy!" Axel laid his hand on his forehead in a feminine gesture to pretend to faint. "Oh my harsh words! Oh what shall I do? Do you need CPR?!"

"Alas, no amount of magic healing voodoo nor CPR will be able to bring me back! This wound is far too fatal." Eris paused for a moment, seriousness overtaking her face again. "Also if you touch me I will literally stab you. Repeatedly." She placed one hand on her hip, a smug expression present

Axel gasped and placed a hand over his heart in mourning. At her seriousness he dropped his act. A small smile tugged at the corner of his lips as he leaned back on one hand and sighed as if disappointed. "Ah, well that throws my plans off. I was gunning for mouth to mouth to try to resuscitate you." He smirked faintly and shrugged, "But it's really not worth getting stabbed over. I think I can do without."

Eris felt her heartrate increase beyond tenfold at the words 'mouth to mouth'. That's gross...yet also somewhat kind of cute. She felt the heat in her cheeks rise as she began to blush and tried to swallow it back down. "Ha, you don't want to put your mouth against mine, you don't know what kind of underworldly diseases I carry." She wiggled her fingers in a teasing, menacing kind of fashion, nearly cringing at the lameness of her statement.

Axel gave short laugh as he noticed color moving to her cheeks. Raising his eyebrow at her statement, he smirked, "Oh yeah?" He sat up straight and propped his arms on his knees, leaning forward. "Like what?" He challenged, a mischievous smile making a faint appearance on his face.

Eris found herself desperately trying to scramble for an idea. "Uh, I wouldn't expect some lowly loser like yourself to know any of them..." She trailed off, knowing the answer would not be satisfactory for Axel. Swallowing hard, Eris tried to make herself less like a tomato and more like her usual pale, lack of color self. It was a futile effort, as her embarrassment over blushing merely grew.

Axel was struggling to resist is growing urge to grin at her very obvious embarrassment. He could only assume it was because this sort of conversation was one she didn't often have, considering she hardly talked to people at this camp. Part of him wanted to push it just a little further, but letting himself loose enough to blatantly mess around and playfully flirt made him uncomfortable. So he made the safer choice and took a mental step back, closing his personal shell back up a bit. Axel leaned away from her blazing red face and arched his eyebrow, his attitude more nonchalant and uninterested than before. "You've got herpes." His voice deadpanned. "I knew you were a wild girl. But that is just......geez....I am blown away."

Eris couldnt help it. Her face turned bright pink to the point to covered it. "No no no, you clearly don't have me figured out if you think I'm that wild! Not about that stuff thanks." She waved her hand at him, almost like a mother scolding her child with a disapproving glare. "You're a very bold boy for saying such things." She couldnt help but laugh a little.

Axel shrugged a bit and smirked as she covered her face up. "Well you really left it all to my imagination. Diseases....no kissing... I mean that's just leaving the door wide open." He gestured toward her face casually, "I think you should put more sunscreen on, you're looking really, really, really, really red in the face." Axel commented sarcastically with a knowing smirk. However he couldn't resist one last poke at her. He leaned forward and arched an eyebrow, "Unless I did that.....being the bold boy that I am."

Eris screamed internally. "No." Her voice came out far sterner than she had meant it to and for a split second she felt bad. The second was quickly over. "I'm just a pale person, you nitwit. I sunburn easily." She swallowed hard and took her hands away from there face placing them on her hips. The excuse she used may have been lame, but at least it was viable. Not like much sun fell through the treetops, though. Eris just didn't want this cocky, obnoxious, arrogant boy to realize he had actually made her heart pound a tiny bit. It irked her.

Axel grabbed at his chest and fell back. "Oh the pain." He said dramatically before returning to his original sitting position. "Well that sunburn came on pretty fast, I'd be careful if I was you." He said lightly, but smirked at her in complete disbelief of her excuse.

"Wow, you are really in to acting. Were you in honors theatre classes?" Eris rolled her eyes at his little performance, finding it moderately charming. "And don't you concern yourself with my sunburns, I'll be fine." She shuffled her feet in the dirt

Axel merely grinned, deciding that continuing to bother her about her blushing would get nowhere. "Theatre class would've been blessed to have me. Sadly, I decided it wasn't interesting enough for me." He shrugged a bit, looking around them at their surroundings for the first time since they had started talking. It was already starting to get dark. "How fast do you think we'd die outside of this place?" Axel asked randomly, finally turning back to Eris, "I'd give us a week, maybe two."

"I would give you about two days. I could last years probably." Eris knew it was an incredibly arrogant statement that she knew was partially untrue. She had no idea how she survived for as long as she did when she was literally stalked like a sheep running from wolves. "If I'm to be blunt, I would strangle you one day before any monsters or freak out there had a chance to take a bite out of you." She crossed her arms, her expression moderately unreadable.

Axel rolled his eyes, mimicking her body posture. "I think you'd go down first. I'm not as good looking to them." He said vaguely, uncomfortable with heavily discussing the 'monsters'. Most of it got deep into the whole mythology surrounding his blood line, a fact he liked to avoid talking and thinking about. It just made it more real, which makes it harder to ignore.

She flipped her head, causing her dark bangs to move out of her eyes for a moment and tossing the rest of her black locks down her back, winking at Axel in an almost seductive fashion. "Ooh, so you do admit I'm good-looking. Oh well, at least I would die pretty...more than you could say." She stuck her tongue out at him like a child. "I bet you would die of terror if you ever came face to face with any creatures anyways. You look like the type of flee instead of fight."

Axel laughed at her unexpected wink and sudden confidence. "I think you're forgetting that I was more than happy to take on the crazy angry Hades spawn earlier today." He said lightly, arching his eyebrow, feeling a bit challenged. "I welcome death, I don't run from it."

Eris tilted her head to the side. "You're a truly odd person. Can't say I've ever had someone welcoming death. Do you need to go talk to someone, man?" She was half-joking, half being serious. Axel almost intrigued her. He seemed weird yet also reminded her much of herself to the point it grossed her out. It was also a comforting thought that not everyone here was happy, cheerful, and all about comradery.

Axel smirked a bit and shook his head. "Absolutely, but will I? Nope" He said sarcastically, shrugging his shoulders. "Then again doesn't everyone here need someone to talk to? We're all a little messy."
(Sorry, for short reply, I moved into college and have a lot going on)

You're alright ^.^ I'm gonna be gonna moving in on Friday so I feel you😂))
Eris rolled her eyes. "Pfft, not me, my life is clean and squeaky, not messy at all." That was probably about as far from the truth as it could have been. Eris felt like things had become worse for her since coming into this stupid camp with their rules and regulations. She much rathered life on the run, doing as she pleased when she pleased to do it.

(Nice! When do classes start for you?)
Axel gave a short laugh and looked at her in disbelief. "Right, because you definitely look like you have it all together." He teased lightly, waving his hand in her general direction. While he didn't think she was a complete mess, it was pretty obvious she had some stuff to figure out. Axel laid back and stared at the canopy of leaves above. "Honestly, I've wanted to ditch this hell hole since day one. But the statistics just don't click. And my lack of knowledge on how this stupid world works makes me an easier target. Then theres the constant struggle between numbers and singularity. Normally numbers make a pack stronger, but from my understanding, it'd make me more of a target. But staying out as a loner presents serious dangers when it comes to large packs of predatory creatures coming after you." Axel pondered, mostly talking to himself. He'd spent years debating with himself the best course of action. Logic told him to simply stay in camp, and when all other options result in a most imminent death, it would seem he should stay at camp. However, that solid logic was the one piece of solid data he refused to listen to. It went against his agenda and he was a firm believer that there would always be some other answer, he just wasn't thinking hard enough.

the 26th ^.^))
Eris leaned forward, raising an eyebrow. "Let's run away then. Me and you, out there in the world. I know my way around and can teleport us if needed, if the danger gets too intense. You look like you can fight if necessary." Eris wasn't sure if they would be able to last more than a couple months out there, but she was tired of being in the stifling camp. It was a stretch to think Axel would possibly want to go with her, but if there was even a chance she was willing to take it.

(Oh! Are you excited?)
Axel turned his head to look at her in surprise. "What?" He said quickly, his reflex response when startled. Trying to recover to avoid offending her, he quickly propped himself up on his forearms, looking at her closely. "I mean, it would be really dangerous. The kind of attention you'd attract on your own is massive, and my presence certainly wouldn't help us out any. We are most likely to end up severely outnumbered against a crazy strong army of creatures." Axel glanced her up and down, still wondering if there was something about his original evaluation of her that he missed. This was unexpected. "I'm up for it as much as the next guy, but if we're going to do it, we might as well try our hardest to survive, not just throw ourselves to the highest bidder."

Excited but nervous. I get lost super easily in new places so hopefully I learn my way around quickly )) Eris shrugged. "No, I'm just gonna run out there and start yelling 'Here, monster, monster, monster! One big juicy child of the big three and a scrawny small fry ready to be consumed!'" Her voice was dripping in sarcasm before she punched his arm. "Of course we would try our hardest to survive. If you'd rather stay here you're more than welcome to, but I would rather wander around the underworld than stay here longer than necessary." She suddenly regretted asking Axel to leave with her. You don't know him and he doesn't know you. You just tolerate him cause he's just as antisocial as you are. She grimaced
