Jason had been sitting at the shoreline, facing the body of water, with his walking stick resting on his shoulders. As his clear eyes seemed to gaze out into the distance he just felt so pent up. He wanted to do more, he wanted to go and show himself to the gods and his mother. However, here he was stuck at camp. With a sigh he just started to sing a song that he heard before coming to the camp, which was hanging tree from Hunger Games. Though he stopped when his ear twitched as he heard someone walking down the shoreline and asked aloud, "Hello, who is ther?"

Phoenix looked up when she heard singing, spotting the blind son of Nemesis. “Hey, James. What are you up to?” She said, hoping not to startle him.

James's ears twitched as he heard the daughter of Hephaestus come closer and stood up. Without turning to face her he said, "Oh, it is you Phoenix. I was just sitting here, thinking about stuff, you know the typical stuff for us demigods. What about you, what are you up to?"

** Mitarashi & Momotarou / Icefire15 **
-
The blond ahead of her begins to slow the further they get from the Forge. His gaze is unwavering and his stride remains rhythmic, but she can see his partially exposed chest moving slower as perspiration beads on his forehead. Momotarou is already beginning to tire, the idiot. He shouldn't be up and swanning around so soon after his surgeries. Feeling her gaze burning into him, her brother neatly folds his hands within the wide sleeves of his haori to conceal their fine tremors. It's a little too late for that though.
Her frown becomes more pronounced and he pretends not to notice. But she can't give up yet! She still has a secret weapon to put into play. Words alone don't work on this brute when he has his mind set on being stubborn.
Mitarashi awkwardly clears her throat. "You know, I heard that Mr Akil would be training around this time-"
She had in fact been snooping around to ensure that this was the case so that she knew where to place her trap...
"-I'm sure that he would have insight that you would find valuable-"
Momotarou has already adjusted his course. "Very well!"
The fact that he doesn't have more to say is concerning, but she tries not to be disheartened. Mitarashi trots along to keep up with her brother's sweeping strides, eventually resorting to shyly pinching the edge of one of his sleeves so that she doesn't fall behind. Even when fatigued, Momotarou moves with a natural tendency toward quick and decisive movements.
She breathes a sigh of relief when they reach the training grounds and her bait is still in attendance, allowing herself to break off from Momotarou as he approaches his half-brother.
"Akil!" He greets warmly, only slightly out of breath. "Well met~ It is good to see that you are unharmed."
Mitarashi heads toward some bushes lining the training grounds and carefully heaves out a picnic basket that is miraculuously where she'd left it. That was a risky move in such a high traffic area-
Hefting it into her arms, she carries it over to the pair and waits for Momotarou to acknowledge her before speaking, staring demurely at her battered sneakers.
"Ah it- um. Seems like we caught you during your break! Ahem- per-perhaps we should all sit down and have some tea..? I-I'm sure that you two would like to...catch up."
Ugh, that came out terribly. Her entire face is burning and she tenses anxiously the longer Momotarou remains silent.
The breath she's holding comes out in a shuddery huff when the man abruptly starts laughing.
"Ahahaha~! Is that what you were quibbling on about? Ha! Very well, you know that I cannot turn you down when it comes to sweets~ Clever mouse!" Momotarou affectionately ruffles her hair and turns to Horus, eyes bright. "What do you say, brother? Would you like to talk over tea?"

(It’s all good, Hush! Hope everything is going better for you now ^.^)
Phoenix stopped not far from James, crossing her arms over her chest as she looked out over the water, “Oh, just about the same, I suppose.” She said lightly, “That was a song from the Hunger Games wasn’t it? It’s been a long time since I’ve actually seen that.” Phoenix said, not exactly sure if she was right, but she thought that she had recognized the song.
____________
Horus looked up when he heard his name called and took in Momotarou’s appearance in slight surprise, “Minamoto.” He greeted his half-brother, knowing how the older son of Athena preferred to be addressed. Horus set the towel aside and stood up, looking over at Mitarashi and her picnic basket, giving her a light smile before turning his attention back to Momotarou when he spoke again, “Sure, why not? I could use the break, and it would be nice to catch up.” Horus said.

** Saint / @open-
"Oi! What d'you think you're doin'?" He pauses in the act of re-winding bandages but doesn't even need to turn around anymore, long since acclimated to the sound of someone attempting to sneak out of the Infirmary prematurely.
"I- ah-" That soft, lilting voice obviously belongs to the frail kid whose arm is still healing from its compound fractures. Saint has been reluctantly babysitting him since Momotarou gave him the slip.
"Get back in bed before I put you to sleep myself!" He half-turns and narrows sharp jadeite eyes to convey his intention to follow through on the familiar threat.
"Didn't you say that your hypnokinesis was rusty-"
"Oh, it is~ So we'll have to get creative..."
"N-no need! Goodnight!" Ha. Isn't it lunch time? Well, lights out for the kid at least.
Saint crosses his arms with a huff, waiting until Pollux warily pulls the covers up to the bridge of his freckled nose before turning away. He completes his duties in silence, cleaning his workstation and returning the various thoroughly sterilized tools he'd used to their places. Momotarou's bloodied sheets are neatly bundled together and placed in a hamper, and he sets a warm mug of chamomile tea by Pollux's bed before leaving.
He retrieves a notebook from a jacket pocket as he exits the building, crossing out the morning's duties and circling the thirty minutes of free time he'd allotted for the afternoon.
"Hmm, lunch can wait. I need to earn points before Momo tries to call on me..."
Saint pauses to cast his gaze over the bustling camp, searching for someone who looked like they could use some help- any kind of help. He can't rely solely on Momotarou to earn his good deeds, though he's still regrettably not very close to anyone else, so going about it this way isn't particularly easy... |

** Momotarou & Mitarashi / Icefire15
-
"Hm! Excellent~"
Momotarou nonchalantly relieves the younger teen of her burden and begins moving away from the central field littered by training dummies to spread the rosy pink blanket within over more even ground. He places the basket before him and carefully sits crosslegged with his back toward a more enclosed portion of the grounds. Following diffidently, Mitarashi takes her seat in seiza-style closer to the entrance and begins to remove items from the basket. She attempts to hide a victorious smile by ducking her head so that uneven bangs fall over her face.
Her brother's brows arch suspiciously. "If I find that you've mixed any of Kurosaki's concoctions into my tea, I'll pinch your cheeks as soon as I wake."
"You'd do that anyway." Mitarashi grumbles, and indeed he leans over to do just that as a warning, stretching the pale skin into parody of a smile while she does her best to scowl at him.
He laughs as she swats him away, seamlessly turning the transition into passing Horus a small teacup that has yet to be filled.
"I heard that your team won the latest game of Capture The Flag? As to be expected~ They are fortunate to have you." He has full faith in Horus' abilities as a Counselor, having been too flighty and volatile in his youth to be one himself. Momotarou's competitive nature made him resent his half-brother at first, but in time has long since made his peace with their respective roles.
At his sister's glance, he extends an arm and Mitarashi dutifully fills his cup with a fragrant brew, doing the same for Horus before pouring her own. His smile becomes smaller as he stares into his reflection briefly, "You will have me as well. The current state of affairs is concerning enough to put a halt to my other duties."
Momotarou's flinty eyes lift to meet Horus'. "Tell me, do you have any suspicions about who this 'traitor' could be?" |

With a raised eyebrow James wondered what exactly Phoenix was thinking about, but did not know how to exactly ask her. He then gave a nod as he said, "Yeah it is, though can't ever say that I saw the film myself but I do love the song." He stated to poke the ground slightly with his walking stick before asking, "Anyways, I don't imagine that either of us are here thinking tonight do we?"

Ryver looked up at the sky for a few moments. He never stopped to think about just how many people there were in this camp. He thought about how many cabins there were. Twenty. There were twenty cabins. Twenty cabins and about five kids in each, give or take. That would make it one hundred. "About a hundred," he looked back at Soul, "Give or take a few." He hoped this piece of news wouldn't make her more nervous. Dakota stuck their tongue out at Phi. They weren't overthinking, just day dreaming. Or so they'd like to call it. Dakota picked up a pebble and flicked it over in Phi's direction. Not directly aiming for him, but rather aiming near him. "Wasn't over thinking." -------------------------- (I apologize for the SUPER late replies. I will try better to reply more often again. If you have moved on with your character, please let me know.) (I have all my OCs besides Ryver and Dakota open if anybody wants to rp.) |

Horus accepted the tea cup with a quiet nod of thanks to Mitarashi, listening the two’s friendly bickering. He turned his head to look at Momotarou as he spoke, giving a light nod, “Yes. Unfortunately, it was victory that turned sour thanks to the unexpected attack. I can only hope that I can win us another one that we can actually enjoy.” He said, sipping the tea after Mitarashi had filled his cup.
Horus lowered his tea cup at Momotarou’s question, giving a slight sigh as he thought over all the of possibilities as to who the traitor could be and gave a shake of his head, “It’s difficult to think of people that I have grown to know and trust here as a traitor. No one has shown any dissatisfaction or anger at Camp Half-Blood, none that I have seen lately anyways. This attack has shaken most of the campers, others are angry or confused.” He said finally, setting his tea cup down and crossing his arms.
______________________
“Guess not. I just figured some fresh air would clear my head.” Phoenix said, shoving her hands in her pockets as she started walking along the shoreline again. “Can’t spend all my time in the Forge, I’ll drive myself crazy that way. And what about you? What brings you out here?” She asked, looking back at him.
_______________________
(That’s okay, Tempo! Everyone has mostly been snail posting ^.^)
Soul looked back at the camp, surprised that there was so many people in one camp, “Well, I guess a place this big could fit that many.” She commented, turning back to Ryver. “So… the beach?” She prompted gently.

Jack chuckled as he said, "Really Phoenix, I thought you were one of the most you were one of the most dedicated to that place. Honestly hearing you bang away at an anvil help me keep my bearings around the camp." He then groaned as she asked him what he was thinking on. With a sigh he asked, "What else do we demigods ponder are days and nights, are parents and this strange need to get them to notice us?" Swinging his walking stick at the he knocked a rock into the water.
Phi watched as the pebble was flung at his general direction and upon its landing looked at Dakota. With a light scuff waved his hand in front of his face and said, "Alright, alright, you weren't overthinking you win."

Ivy w/ Cat- Icefire15Ivy crouched down to grab her spear from where it was neatly tucked under her bed, then stood up and nodded. "I'm ready," she answered with a smile. She headed for the door and held it open for Cat, then exited the cabin, closing the door softly. Axel w/ Circe- bloodrosepeltAs soon as he felt a tall figure bump into him, Axel turned around to meet the gaze of Circe. He narrowed his eyes slightly, then cleared his throat. "Do you need anything?" His tone could be taken as rude, but to him he was just asking a question. (Sorry for the late replies ;-;)

Your good Dark)
Circe was about to apologize for being so careless and bumping into him, but when she heard his rude tone. In her typical icy tone she responded to Axel by saying, "Daggers, training." She knew that there two cabins were not the closest to one another, but she did not think he need be so rude.
Phi watched as Dakota climbed onto the tree and asked, "And what do you want me to do about it? Last time I checked no one here found my way of curing boredom is not really welcome around here." He then picked up another peddle and acted like he was going to toss it at them.

Axel w/ Circe- bloodrosepeltAxel stared for a second, his hazel eyes seeming to bore into the daughter of Poseidon. "You're in quite a rush," he remarked smoothly, turning around to grab a few daggers from where they rested. He loosely held them out for Circe to take, a smirk beginning to form on his face. "Need some tips?" His tone was lighter this time.

With a raised eyebrow she simply asked, "What sort of tips do you offer?" Honestly she could not think of any tips worth being given by this son of Athena. In truth she expected Axel to act like the other all knowing children of the goddess of wisdom, like those she has dealt with prior.

Axel w/ Circe- bloodrosepeltAxel let out a small huff. "Depends on what skills you're aiming to improve," he replied with a shrug. "Daggers are for close combat- obviously- so I assume you're agile?"

Circe looked at Axel with an expression that was some what akin to being are you serious and complete neutrality. Taking the daggers she started to spin the weapons from pouring down, to back up, and finally down again. Then in a fluid motion, like a seasoned ballerina at a recital , preformed a flurry of slashes with only a couple of mistakes. With the tiniest of smirks she asked, “I am good enough.”
Phi smirked as he threw the pebble the opposite direction of Dakota and said, “Made you flinch.” He then laid on his back as he then said, “Also that is not the only thing I ever suggest, just the simplest. Anyways if mind tricks are off the table then what do you suggest, I am game for anything.”

Axel w/ Circe- bloodrosepeltAxel raised an eyebrow, though it didn't mean he was surprised at her talent, he looked somewhat impressed. He would never say that out loud, though, and instead stated, "You definitely have some skill with daggers, anything else you can use?"

Circe looked at the daggers as she said, "Swords are to heavy, spears to cumbersome, my body can not handle the strain." Her attention then turned to Axel as she then stated, "Daggers are best for my body."

Phi smirked as he thought for a moment before quickly jumping to his feet. With a wicked chuckle he asked," Who said we can't pop out for a single second. Besides better to ask for forgiveness than permission."
