“I’m sharing.” he stated looking back at Leo, and it’s not like he could eat the whole bag, well, he could but.  Shaking his head “Here.” he stated as he continued to eat his cookie. “Did you enjoy the tournament?”

             ❝ 𝐀𝐇, 𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆. 𝐎𝐊𝐀𝐘 . .   ❞  he quietly complied, nodding his head slowly while reaching to take one of the cookies for himself.  ❝ thanks  ❞ he grumbled before going to answer his question.  ❝ it was okay, i didn’t really feel any particular way about it. though i was pretty sure margo was gonna make it pretty far seeing how much she loves sugar,  ❞ he stated flatly. ❝ what about you ?? were you rooting for anyone in particular ??  ❞

Seph took a bite out of the cookie and he made room for Leo to sit along side him. He patted the seating next to him if Leo so chose to sit there. “Go right ahead.” he enjoyed Leo’s company, even if they barely say a few exchange of words. “Do you want a piece?” he asked holding up the bag to Leo.

       Nadia looked at the person who had stumbled upon her in the middle of her musings. Immediately she brightened somewhat, recognizing them almost instantly. “Nose boy! Or wait no,, fighter boy?” She furrowed her brows, squinting at him. Yes, he was in fact the person she had squared off against in round two of the tourney and lost miserably to. But instead of flushing and becoming embarrassed at meeting again after her failure, she perked up even more. “I dunno… don’t bats like like 95% of their life upside-down? Can you imagine just, sleeping like this…” She gestured to her general, upside-down…ness. “I think my brain would explode. It’s already getting there.” She could already feel the heat of her face. It was probably bright red.

         𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐉𝐀𝐇 𝐋𝐀𝐔𝐆𝐇𝐄𝐃 𝐀𝐒    she called him ‘nose boy’ and even more so when she called him ‘fighter boy’.  ❝  do they really live 95% of their lives like that ?? ❞  truthfully the son of eros knew almost nothing about bats, though he found amusement as she gestured to her current position. ❝  hmmm, i don’t know if i’d find that all too comfortable, but i mean there’s only one way to find out. . ❞ he shrugged. ❝  mind if i join you ??  i’m not sure how good of an idea that is though, the last thing i want is for your head to explode. ❞  he teased.

It felt nice to know that he was thought of, even if it was because Leo wanted to repay him for buying ice cream the other day. Seph smiled “I appreciate it.” when he heard the word cookies, he immediately opened the bag and took one out. He liked sweet food, and cookies were a favorite.

              𝐋𝐄𝐎 𝐂𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐃 𝐇𝐈𝐒    throat awkwardly, thinking what to do next. he had thought out this encounter enough to this point. now that he suddenly was left trying to figure it out, he wondered did he leave or did he stay ?? but he simply nodded as he heard the demigod speak again.   ❝  good. ❞  he stated, trying to sound nonchalant.  ❝  so, can i sit with you ?? ❞ the question left him before he could even think about taking it back. internally cursing to himself but the worse that could happen was the son of zeus tell him no.

“Thanks, though you handmade it, so it’s really thoughtful of you Jules.” Had he ever gotten flowers like this before, no. It was the thought of her wanting to give him something like this that mattered. “What is?” he looked over at her before she then explained. He reached out to take her hands, giving it a light squeeze “Hey, you did the best you could, it doesn’t mean that you didn’t do well. You did.” he stated with a smile “I’m always going to be here to help you.” shaking his head ‘no’ . “You didn’t stop me from anything important. Do you have my number? you can text me.” he chuckled.

“Hmm, then I should have said no.” she stated with a light laugh as he rocked them from side to side in the hug. “Today was shopping, for new lip colors, eye shadow, colorful make up.” she smiled “For fun, not for anyone.” she eyed him knowing he would ask if she was getting done up for anyone. Just herself. “The tournament was fun, did you not hear me cheer you on?” it was her turn to pout at him. “Hmm, I can be competitive , so fighting you would have been hard.”

            ❝  𝐀𝐖 , 𝐃𝐎𝐍’𝐓 𝐒𝐀𝐘   that !!  you would break my heart,  ❞  elijah whined playfully.however, quickly turning to the change in subject.  ❝ oooh, shopping is always fun. ❞  he immediately agreed, but snickered a little when she made sure to add it wasn’t for anyone else. knowing it’s because she knew the question that was waiting at the tip of his tongue. he was always trying to meddle in that of people’s love lives.   ❝  you almost got me all excited, i was thinking you had a date you didn’t tell me about. but it’s better that way. you should fix up for yourself and no one else, ❞ he said, before nodding his head.  ❝  just barely , but hey don’t look so sad ❞ the son of cupid went to ruffle her hair.  ❝ that’s true, it would have been pretty hard, huh ?? we are both competitive but i’d let you kick my ass any day. it’d probably make for better entertainment anyway. ❞

“oh.” Seph stated processing what Leo was telling him, but he didn’t feel like that was something that needed to be even. He bought Leo ice cream because he wanted to, not for Leo to owe him anything. “thank you.” Seph stated with a small smile at the gift. “You didn’t have to, I bought you ice cream because I wanted to.”

He had finished re-arranging his room, wanting it to look different and he headed down the hallway to the lounge. Stopping when he heard his name, he turned around to see Julia and he smiled seeing her. It felt as if it had been a long time, and he frowned at the thought. Seeing her made him happy,  his brow raised at her mentioning a gift. Looking at the flower crown, he couldn’t contain his smile nor his light laugh. “a flower crown.” he said with a smile, as she moved towards him to place it on his head. “That’s adorable.” he stated feeling a little shy, Dante leaned forward and placed a kiss on her cheek. “Thank you, Jules.” it meant a lot that she thought of him, that she made something for him.

           𝐉𝐔𝐋𝐈𝐀 𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃𝐍’𝐓 𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐏   the way her face flushed in a bright red when she felt the peck he placed upon her cheek. a small smile curling at her lips, feeling absolutely ridiculous but unable to hide her happiness seeing he didn’t dislike it. ❝ it looks good on you. ❞  she complimented, pulling away only to look at it for herself.  ❝ it’s kind of silly. ❞ she admitted a little embarrassed.    ❝ but, you’re always helping me. especially after the tournament, i didn’t do as well as i hoped and . . .. ❞  it was only natural for julia to be her own worst critic, however dante was always there. seemingly making things better for her.  ❝ sorry, i hope i didn’t stop you from anything important  . i just wanted to make sure i got this to you. ❞

Seph had been working on his skills as the weeks had gone by. He saw that many of the participants at the tournament did a good job, and so working on his abilities is something he focused on. He hadn’t expected Leo to approach him , noting the bag in front of him, he raised a brow at Leo’s comment.  “Even?” he wasn’t sure what Leo meant but appreciated the bakery goods from bundtmuda.

Nara happened to be eating her favorite candy, which was starburst , the tournament was fun to see.  It was an exciting event, she happened to be looking through her phone when she felt another presence. Her eyes were covered and she figured only one of two people could do this and still breathe. Her brother, or her best friend, when she heard the voice. she smiled. Turning to look over at Elijah.  “Of course!” she stated as she moved towards him to give him a hug.

               𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍 𝐍𝐀𝐑𝐀 𝐄𝐍𝐆𝐔𝐋𝐅𝐒   him in a hug, instantly elijah returns the favor. giving her a squeeze as he rocks them both side to side.  ❝  good, because my feelings would have been hurt if you said no. ❞   he laughs, finally pulling away from the other.  ❝  so, what are you up to today ?? not having tons of fun without me i hope . ❞ he offered her a lighthearted pout before it practically morphed into a smile in an instant.  ❝  the tournament was fun to watch i bet ?? i was kind of hoping you were going to be in it. but, perhaps it was best for all of us right ?? there would have been a chance i would have got my butt kicked by you.  ❞

“You were vibin’ eyy!” He laughed. He doesn’t think he’s heard a daemon use the word before, and hearing it now while he was tipsy was extra amusing for Evian. “Put it here, man!” He extended a fist for Leo to bump, as if just the use of the word itself warranted it. “What! But birthdays are so great! I make sure to celebrate mine every year.” Evian always had to make an event of it. Treating it like a normal day for him just felt wrong. He clicked his tongue, shaking his head. “So judgmental, Leo!” he said, though with a playful grin. “Well…” He tapped his chin, as if seriously trying to recall his crime. “You see, I stole a loaf of bread to feed my starving family. Was that so bad? It was horrible, man. I was called by a bunch of numbers and this cop was obsessed with me.”

Nadia sat on a couch in the lounge, hanging upside down. The top of her head threatened to graze the floor, and her sock clad feet stretched towards the ceiling. She was currently looking around the room, her thumbs and forefingers placed before her eyes in the shape of a lens. “Is this what bats see all the time?” She mused aloud, pursing her lips. She moved the “lens”, pausing when it captured a pair of shoes. “Oh. Shoes. Shoes… oh… A person!” She looked up at the figure through the make believe lens. “Have you ever wanted to be a bat?”

Evian’s grin widened when Leo seemed to come to some kind of realization about his grandfather and he was about to elaborate, though all that was forgotten the moment the daemon admitted his age. “Over five hundred years old?! No way. Man, you’re hardcore! You’re like the wheel!” Granted, the invention of the wheel was probably older than Leo was, but it was the first ancient thing that had popped into Evian’s mind. “Oh hey, that’s the spirit! We’ll get you a whole bottle next.” He nodded. “Unfortunately, I get too distracted.” Hearing Leo’s next statement, Evian let out a small laugh. “Oh, so that’s what you think of me?” But soon enough, he too takes a sip from his glass. “Oops. Caught me.” He hiccups. “But it was just that one time and it was nothing serious. I’m not a scary person, I promise.”

           ❝  𝐒𝐀𝐃𝐋𝐘 𝐈 𝐖𝐀𝐒𝐍’𝐓    alive to see the wheel be born, but i was-- what do ya’ll kids say ?? vibin’  when it was already being used in society.  ❞  he said, unsure if he was using the word right, but he was getting a little too tipsy to care at this point.   ❝  birthdays get a little boring the older you get, it’s funner when you’re young.  ❞ though he nods when evian reassures him they’d get him a bottle for him to try drinking out of. honestly, he was a little tempted to jump over the bar and grab one himself, but that would probably be frowned upon at evian’s friend's party. so he chooses to wait. a shrug rolling off his shoulder as the other accused was sent his way. a laugh of his own making it’s way into the air. ❝ i guess my presumptions were right,  ❞   he grins, though it’s a lie. it was just the first random question that had popped into his head. ❝ do you mind me asking why you were arrested ??  ❞ he assumed it couldn’t have been for anything too serious.

“I come bearing gifts.” Levi approaches, holding a basket full of treats she had managed to bring back from candyland. She hands it to Jae with a smile. “I tried to make it as assorted as I could,” she says, as if she couldn’t just conjure up any kind of candy he wanted then and there—she could, but then that wasn’t the point.
