Valentina probably had to get back to work if she wanted to have a quiet evening without having to charmspeak anyone, without people giving her annoyed looks, but she was having a good time, for once, talking to Hawk. It was a Saturday evening, too, and he probably had better things to do. Hanging out with his father, perhaps, or other friends. Hell, he could have seen a movie at the theatre, but he wasn’t doing that. He was talking to her, which made her feel the tiniest bit grateful. The self-pitying tone she used wasn’t intentional, because she was genuinely not sorry for herself. “I betrayed the entire camp to Gaea, remember? If you ask other people, they’ll surely disagree with out. Not that I care. They should get their heads out of their asses and look at themselves for a change.” She copied Hawk’s shrug. All the talk of hair made her twirl a strand of it around her fingers subconsciously. “Yes you do. And don’t you dare cut it off, because I will personally come after you.” It was so beautiful, it would literally be a crime if he did get rid of it. “That’s… a very good point. And an excellent mentality at that.” Valentina had never considered thinking like that. Her family did make her feel worse about herself, even with them being out of her life. “That sounds like an excellent celebration.” She couldn’t help but chuckle, especially because he seemed so excited. “Awesome. I’ll text you the details - maybe next weekend?”

His dad would probably be wondering where he was but he could easily make up an excuse for where he was, there was no use in telling him the truth. It would just mean that he would get more interrogated about the fact he was talking to a girl. Hawk’s heart sank a little when she brought up the war. He actually frowned as he placed a hand on her shoulder. "Hey, I’ve heard that people did a lot worse. At least you didn’t actually fight with her. I stand by what I said, I would like to see anyone fight against something like that. Besides, if people can’t get over that then...” He let out a little chuckle, “Yeah they need to look in the mirror, I’m sure no one here is perfect.” Hawk’s eyes followed her as she twirled a piece of her hair. She was probably going to give him a heart attack someday. “Oh don’t worry, I don’t plan to! I’ve worked too hard to keep my hair nice to want to cut it off. No matter what kind of comments people make about it!” Hawk was right back to his old self as he smiled at Valentina. “Yeah, so why worry about what those people think. They might be your blood but being here is like...being able to pick your family! You just have to pick people that make you feel good about yourself.” He ran a hand through his hair as the smile on his face grew even bigger, “Sounds great! As long as you promise not to judge me for being a total fish out of water.”

“You’re most definitely not an idiot. Besides, how would you have known? Most kids are either American or … New Roman.” Maya had no idea if that was a thing people said. “True! If it wasn’t for the fact that I remember my time before New Rome, I surely would have thought I had been around forever.” The physical contact was reassuring. “If they hadn’t accepted me I never would have known you! So I’m glad they did too.” She hadn’t really thought much of her offer, contrary to what Hawk was saying. “Really, it’s nothing. But yes, hit me up if you need help. I also helped paint the primary school - you know, blue building, white clouds. I like to think I’m competent enough!”

"True, I mean I should have known just from the fact you’re so different from people who have lived here forever. New Roman. Is that going to be a new option to check on those standardized tests? White, Native-American, Asian-American, New-Roman?” He joked. Sure it was a stupid one but at least it was a funny one. “Oh, you’re lucky. I mean not that I didn’t enjoy my time not living here it’s just weird knowing that there’s somewhere out there where I could be.” Hawk wasn’t even sure if that made any kind of sense but it was how he felt. “I don’t know what my life would have been without you, Maya! A blank space in my life.” A bright smile lit up his face, “You’re probably way more competent at it than me. Besides...my dad’s been asking when he gets to meet my friends and all that!”

“ Not my whole life! I was born in Europe, you know. ” Now that she was talking about it, Maya wasn’t entirely sure if she’d told Hawk about her past yet. But he’d probably stop her if she said something he already knew, right? “ When I was seven, we were attacked by monsters too often, so we had to get to camp. My dad was a little over-protective, so I didn’t go to the Wolf House. Ha, it’s a miracle the legion even accepted me. ” She was still a bit conscious of that, if she had to be completely honest. “ No you’re not! ” she squeaked, just to relieve some of the tension she was well-aware was forming between them. “ Hey, if you need some help with unpacking or livening up the space, you can always call me up, you know that, right? I’ll also have, you know, that I painted Julia’s nursery, so I can paint too! ”

"Wow. See, I really am an idiot!” He pouted a little. Maybe it was a little overdramatic to call himself an idiot over something so little but he just couldn’t stop himself sometimes. “I mean being here since seven is a long time. You might as well have been here your whole life at this point!” Hawk gave her shoulder a light squeeze as he flashed her a bright smile. “I’m glad they did. It would be their loss if they didn’t, Maya!” He was grateful that she was able to break whatever tension it was. He hated that feeling in all honestly. “That’s really nice of you to offer! I think I remember you telling me that before. I’ll definitely give you a call if we end up needing help with anything ever. Plus, the more the merrier. Right?”

‘Pretty agreeable’ seemed to be an understatement to the daughter of Suadela. As time had passed, she’d got the feeling that Hawk would do anything she asked, regardless of whether she used her powers on him or not. It seemed a bit unhealthy to her, which was why she promised herself ( and Hawk, now ) not to use her charmspeak. It was a matter of principles, just like Valentina would never charmspeak someone she respected, like Reyna or her centurions. “ I deserve nice things? Why? ” Had he forgotten how she’d behaved herself around the Second Giant War? Of course, there was such a thing as forgiveness, but Valentina hadn’t done anything to earn it, apart from being honest with the legion. She certainly didn’t believe she deserved nice things herself, but that didn’t mean she didn’t take them when she pleased. “ You have a lot of time. But as long as it’s our of your face during battle, you’re good. ” At least, that’s what the legionnaires would tell them. Valentina preferred to let her hair down during practice, because it made her technique so much more effective. “ Who needs family? What an odd thing to say. ”  Nevertheless, it made her grin. She felt the same way. She could read the silent invitation behind his words, even though she had no idea who Wednesday Addams was. “ That sounds like a very eventful holiday. ” Valentina wasn’t one to invite herself anyways. “ Oh, you think? That’s wonderful. We should plan something next weekend then, perhaps. If you’re not too busy. ”

Hawk knew that sometimes he could be too nice of a guy and that was probably his biggest weakness. Like right now he could be sitting at home talking his dad into watching some crappy movie just to spend time with him but instead, he’d walked from camp to New Rome just to check on someone. Someone, in fact, who he didn’t even think would count him as a friend until tonight. Hawk cleared his throat, shrugging his shoulders as he shoved his hands into his pockets. “I don’t know. Why not? I think almost everyone deserves nice things. Besides, it’s not like you did anything to not deserve nice things. You of all people shouldn’t be so down on yourself about that.” Hawk laughed a little at that and ran a hand through his hair. “Yeah, practice makes perfect, right? I have all the time in the world with my hair.” It was very true since he didn’t plan on cutting his hair anytime soon. He was way too attached. “Well, I mean, if your family’s shit then you don’t exactly need them around. Do you? Why would you want to be around people who make you feel bad about yourself?” What he was saying was true, but his question was an honest one. Hawk didn’t know Valentina’s situation and he didn’t feel like he had any right to ask. “Oh yeah I mean mostly just eating anything but turkey just to spite the holiday spirit, you know?” Hawk tried to keep his face from showing how much he was freaking out internally but there was definitely a certain sparkle in his eye, most likely of confidence and maybe a whole lot of joy, that wasn’t there before. “Oh yeah absolutely! I mean I’ll have to check my schedule first, but I’m sure I’ll definitely figure something out!”

The little handholding thing they’d had going on was a little strange, Valentina had to admit that, but it wasn’t uncomfortable-level strange. She was a big supporter of platonic flirting, platonic handholding, and people in generally being more affectionate with their friends, but judging from Hawk’s responses, he wasn’t quite used to it. If it had been any other person, she would have corrupted them without a second thought, but Hawk was different. He defened her against the legion, and he was genuinely just a good soul. She couldn’t. “ I don’t really think I need to charmspeak you to get you to do anything, ” she said with a little chuckle. His hair really was soft and silky, just as she had expected. But what really caught her attention was how extremely red his face was getting: Valentina was sure that he’d get a fever if he kept this up, so she drew back her hand. “ Good! Just try to keep it at the back of your head, though. A bun right on the top looks a little goofy. ” Not that Hawk couldn’t pull off goofy - in fact, his entire personality seemed to scream ‘goofy and clumsy’. Truly endearing. “ It’s good that you have him here, you know. Not all demigods have that privilege. ” Her jealous tone was back, but she tried to keep it in check. She didn’t love her dad. She definitely didn’t want him in New Rome. Valentina was momentarily taken aback by Hawk’s suggestion - was he asking her out? How very brave of him! “ I admit I’m getting a bit sick of this theatre. How about… I take you to a party someday? One in one of the clubs in the city, and I’ll show you what a really good time is. ”

Hawk was no stranger to showing affection to his friends but handholding always seemed like something you wouldn’t do with just friends. Not like there was anything wrong with it or anything, he just wasn’t used to it. He hadn’t expected her to come right out and say something about charmspeaking either. It was no secret to anyone that it was one of her many talents but he guessed that had to mean something. Right? "I...thanks? I mean I don’t think so I an be pretty agreeable without charmspeak. I just like doing nice things for people who deserve it.” He beamed at her. Honestly, he could have stood there and let her play with his hair all night but someone might think he was going into cardiac arrest from the look on his face. He shook his head and let out a laugh, “Yeah I guess that’s as good as hair advice can get, huh? Sometimes it ends up on the top of my head anyway, I haven’t perfected the art of the man-bun yet but I think I have some time.” If he was feeling more confident, he probably would have winked at her but that probably would’ve sent his nerves over the edge. Hawk couldn’t keep from frowning as Val went on to talk about parents. He’d known it was a sensitive topic. “Yeah, I noticed.” He didn’t exactly have to say it, odds are she probably knew that he’d noticed she didn’t go home for holidays or anything. “I mean, who needs them in those cases right? I’m sure there’s plenty of people who would let you join them for holidays if you asked.” He paused for a second before he broke into a huge grin, a mischievous sparkle in his eyes. "You know me and my dad? We celebrate thanksgiving Wednesday Addams style but with less scalping and a little less fire." Hawk hoped she would get the reference. Ok maybe asking her out wasn’t the best course of action that he could take but he’d done it and at least she wasn’t laughing at him yet. It took his brain a moment to register what she’d said. It was probably the shock of it. “Yeah I kind of figured, I mean...wait. Seriously? That’s way better than my idea. That would probably be way more fun anyway.” There was no use in saying that parties weren’t really his scene.

“Thanks man, that’s really cool of you. If you want to we could trade? Only if you’re interested. Japanese folklore has some pretty intense stuff.” He completely understood Hawk’s enthusiasm: talking about what had made one’s childhood could turn any setting into home, for a little while. Besides, potentially scary stories told in the dead of night were one of Ira’s favourite things.

“Yeah, right? The original snake pit,” he commented, voice dry with sarcasm. His tone changed quickly when Hawk smiled – his optimism and good cheer were contagious. “Maybe. Do you know a lot of people who are in the same cohort as their parents?” To Ira there wasn’t a best cohort, really. He had a strong distaste for the second and first because he despised elitism of any kind, but given that he’d rather not be at camp at all he had trouble feeling cohort pride. “Hey, what do you know, maybe your dad would have been in it too, right?”

"Of course I would be interested! The stories are the best thing about this place, honestly.” Hawk nodded his head. He wasn’t lying either, one of the things that made camp easier for him in the beginning was all the great stories that he heard about previous campers or the myths that he would hear and read about. 

“Oh yeah of course,” Hawk nodded his head in agreement even if he wasn’t entirely sure what he was agreeing about in the first place. “I...not really but I would just assume that a lot of families end up in the same place. Or you know, I could be totally wrong and be sounding like a total idiot right now which is also fine.” He shrugged his shoulders.

Antonette felt like she was too old to act radically towards the situation, plus it anybody was to be angry with someone, it had ought to be the president. Toni nodded at his slight explanation of what the mole could be feeling, but she wasn’t sure if he or she was feeling that way. Posting would videos would have made them think about the possible reactions of people. “I think so too. Too much attention can be toxic.” She noticed, knowing that the less attention you have made it easier to be yourself.

"Especially when it’s attention like this,” Hawk shook his head and wrung his hands together. “I mean it would be different if the attention was positive but this is definitely the toxic kind. I just want it to be over, you know?”

“ Hey, thank you! I’m not the only gardener around, you know! But I’ve been doing it since I first came here; I was seven and already running around the gardens. ” What Maya didn’t mention, was that she’d hoped to be related to Bacchus or Flora when she was little, because that would have explained her interest in the gardens. But it was just her hobby, and her godly ancestors didn’t have anything to do with flowers or plants at all. “ No, no, don’t worry about it. ” She needed Hawk to be comfortable enough to ask her anything, or talk to her about any subjects. That’s what friends did. As his hand was on her shoulder, Maya momentarily closed her eyes, sighing with fatigue. “ I don’t know, Hawk. It all just wears me out. I’m tired of being on guard all the time. ” She just wanted to be back to the regular camp schedule and mood. Everyone was always tense. “ Oh, you’ll take it home? That’s so nice! You should put it in a vase and give it water. There’s some powder I have that makes it last longer, I’ll give that to you. ” There was probably some sort of godly power involved in its making, but Maya didn’t take the time to read up on every single powder she could find. “ We are the roses! That’s a great addition. ” 

"Wow seven. I forgot that some people actually spend their whole lives here. I mean I can see how, this isn’t exactly the worst place on Earth.” He motioned around with a smile on his face. Hawk didn’t really mind New Rome when things were calmer than they were at the moment. Even though she told him not to worry about it, he couldn’t help but feel a little guilty for bringing it up in the first place. “I know me too. I feel like we’re always on guard anyway but I get how this is different. I mean, I’m not a total idiot!” Hawk hated feeling like he could cut the tension in the air with a knife. “Yeah it’ll bring some life to the house. Might give some motivation to finish unpacking the rest of the boxes too, you know. That would be great!” He flashed her a bright smile.

Yes, Hawk was her friend. The feeling she got from being around him, like she needed to protect him, like she needed to use her charmspeak to do exactly that.. you didn’t get that with just acquaintances. Plus, Hawk was just very likeable. The way he tried to follow the customer back to the line was a bit concerning, though, that was why Valentina had steadied him. “ No, silly. I wouldn’t do that to you. ” Her relationship with consent was a weird one, even she knew that. If someone mattered to her, they were rewarded with their consent. She wouldn’t charmspeak the people she cared about, the people she respected. But once someone crossed her, or annoyed her in the slightest, she took theirs away. Served them right. They could earn it back, maybe. “ You know what would look good on you? ” With her free hand, the one that wasn’t holding his, she reached up towards his hair. After a tiny hesitation, during which she raised her eyebrows to see if it was okay, and Hawk gave the affirmative nod, she pushed his hair back. “ A bun. Did you ever do a bun? ” He was blushing so hard, Valentina couldn’t help but chuckle. It would be safest to let go of his hand, so that was what she did. “ I’m sure he appreciates that. ” She decided to ignore the comparison for now. “ Jealous? Of me? I could never imagine! ” Obviously she was being sarcastic, but she did some dramatic poses to ensure Hawk got the memo.

His heart definitely didn’t flutter when Val grabbed his hand no matter what his body seemed to be telling him. He just had to keep telling himself that to keep it together. And it definitely didn’t flip flop again when she said she wouldn’t do that to him, whether she meant charmspeak or tell him to leave it didn’t matter. "Oh good, because you know if you wanted me to go I would listen! I wouldn’t want to bother you or anything.” His breath caught in his throat for a second and all he managed to do was nod as she raised a hand towards his hair. What was she even going to do? Hawk stood up a little straighter, blushing even more. “I...yeah! I do my hair in a bun sometimes when I’m training or don’t really want to deal with it. But you think it would look good?” Mental note to wear hair in a bun next time. He flexed his fingers as she let go of his hand before running the hand through his hair. “Yeah, I guess so. I wouldn’t not visit him if he was staying here, you know? I love my dad.” He let out a laugh, “I know right? Who would be jealous of someone who’s so cool and pretty?” She was really funny and sometimes his mouth worked faster than his ability to figure out if something was the right thing to say. “We should go see a movie sometime.” His eyes widened a little and he sputtered for a moment before trying to explain himself. “I mean or not. I mean as friends! I mean maybe not because you work in a movie theater and why would you want to spend a day off here?”

The line was getting longer. Her co-worker was looking at her helplessly, but he knew it wouldn’t do any good, because Valentina wouldn’t return to her work until the conversation was done. She kept her mouth shut while Hawk talked, but when a customer tapped her on the shoulder to ask about the long waiting time, she snapped. “ Do you mind? I’m talking to my friend, here. Get your filthy hand off of me, and stand in line quietly like a normal person. ” She nearly spat out the words, but the power behind them wasn’t less intense because of it. So intense, in fact, that Hawk pulled his own hand away, which wasn’t what she’d intended. “ No, not you! It’s - ” She rolled her eyes, the smile back on her face again, and grabbed his hand before he could move along with the other man. “ I’d never say that to you. ” As she realized what they’d been talking about previously, she laughed. “ Please, never ever start wearing snapbacks. Your hair deserves better than to be hidden beneath one of those. ” Hawk’s dad was a touchy subject, so Valentina appreciated him talking about it so openly. “ That’s awesome! I’m glad he’s doing better. You visit him a lot? ” She smiled, but there was a tinge of sadness behind it. Technically, she wasn’t an orphan, but she might as well be. Her dad didn’t care about her, and her mother was forbidden from speaking to her. Well, she hadn’t said much before the Recall either, but now she had an excuse. Knowing that Hawk had his dad around made her a tiny bit jealous. “ We’re hair goals. Everyone should be jealous of us! ”

Hawk went into momentary shock at Valentina calling him her friend. The shock didn’t last very long as a few seconds later he felt like it was a good idea to let go of her arm and follow the other guy back to the line. He dropped his grip on her arm, thinking about how his hands weren’t dirty at all, and lifted his foot to take a step after the man. He shook his head as she talked to him again. This time her tone was a lot different, it was easy to notice. "I...uh you wouldn’t?” Almost like a reflex, he gave her hand a squeeze and felt his face get even redder as he did. A bright smile was on his face again as she laughed at what he’d said, “Oh I know it does! But who knows anything could happen! My hair deserves a lot better than a snapback even on the worst of hair days.” He couldn’t help but notice that, even though she was smiling, she didn’t seem too happy. It wasn’t that much of a guess since Hawk had never seen her go home for holidays even when they were allowed to leave. Still, family was a sore subject for a lot of people he knew so he decided not to really get into it. “Yeah, I stop by almost every day. Most of my regular clothes and everything are at his place now, actually. It’s not that different from living back home anyway so it’s not a lot of change. Still pretty self-contained so he must feel right at home.” As he ran a hand through his hair, he couldn’t help but blush yet again as he cleared his throat. “People should totally be jealous of our hair. But I think people are jealous of you as it is, Val.” It would be hard to imagine how people wouldn’t be jealous of her, honestly.

Hawk’s laugh instantly calmed her down. He just had that effect; that, and his general clumsiness and weak attempts at flirting were enough to make Maya crack a smile. “ I’m sure Bacchus appreciates it as much as I do. ” Well, she wasn’t entirely that sure; she’d heard stories about Dionysus at Camp Half-Blood. Not the most pleasant deity to have around, probably. “ I needed a break from the whole Mole business. The USB and everything… ” she gestured wildly, almost at a loss for words. “ It’s a lot. ” The fallen rose had been de-thorned, and was safe to touch. She handed it to her friend. “ Here. ” It wasn’t a flirty gesture, even though, knowing him, Hawk would probably take it that way. Maya’s expression hopefully made it clear that she didn’t intend for it to look that way. The rose needed to be taken care of, and she’d already filled her own house with plants. “ I could never! They’re fragile little things, they can’t help it that there’s a mole around, digging them up. ” She cracked a weak smile at her own silly joke.

"If he doesn’t appreciate it, at least know that I do! I’m sure other people appreciate it, too. What would this place be without you, you busy little bee.” He flashed her a grin before taking a quick look around the gardens. Maybe it was just the fact that he felt somewhat connected here but he felt peaceful. “I know it’s a lot, I’m sorry I brought it up. I’m sorry,” he frowned a little bit and put a comforting hand on her shoulder. Hawk thought he should’ve known better than to bring it up but he didn’t exactly expect it to upset her like it did. As he took the rose, he had a smile on his face again. “Wow, thanks Maya! This is really nice. It’ll look nice as a decoration in my dad’s living room, we’re still looking for stuff to make it look more homey. You’re the best.” He grinned at his friend and he knew he was probably taking it as something more than it was but even as a friendly gesture, it was very nice. “I see what you did there. Does that make us the roses, because I can see that.”

The thought of how Hawk was so natural and unforced sometimes occupied Valentina’s mind. Unlike so many people, he was interested in her, not her abilities. Okay, maybe her looks, mainly, but at least he tried more than others. He was genuinely interested in making conversation with her, why else would he show up at her work? No one else had done that for her so far. People were either scared of her powers or intrigued by them. “ Denial is the first stage, you know. And also a type of defense. ” The statement wasn’t even based on anything, Valentina really just wanted to make him laugh like he did for her. But her sense of humour was a bit twisted. “ I get you, though, and I agree. You’re a nice guy. ” The hand she’d hesitated to place on his shoulder before, was now actually on his arm. It reinforced her statement, and there were enough people standing in line to help her if he did faint. “ Clumsiness can be an endearing quality, you know. Some girls actually like it. ” Whether she was one of those, was left in the middle. She laughed, a genuine laugh, just because he said it would give him an ego. As if. “ The Recall isn’t entirely bad for everyone, so don’t worry. I got something out of it too, so I understand, ” Valentina was well-aware of the fact that Hawk grew up in less-than-optimal conditions, and that his dad had some problems, as the boy stated himself. She never asked on. “ How is your father doing? ” The question could be answered as specifically or vaguely as he wanted. “ Damn right you were! Your hair is gorgeous. ”

Hawk didn’t find it hard to find something to like in almost everyone that he met but he couldn’t decided exactly what it was that made him want to be friends with someone like Val. He had never been a judgmental person, he didn’t think he had a right to be. Plus, the girl was just interesting and a good fighter. Both good things. "And the first stage to getting help is admitting you have a problem! If I start wearing snapbacks, think of it as a cry for help.” He laughed, which drew the attention of some people in line but he didn’t really care. It was a funny joke. His heart jumped in his chest when she put a hand on his arm. It was so unexpected that he probably would have fallen over if he didn’t have the sense to pull it together quick. Hawk placed a hand on her arm gently. A tiny smirk on his face, he raised an eyebrow and tried to ignore the fact that the tops of his ears were starting to feel hot. “If I didn’t know any better I would think that that’s a subtle hint that you think it’s endearing! But it just comes naturally.”  Hawk thought she had a really nice laugh. Bringing up his dad killed his mood a little, but the smile didn’t disappear from his face. “My dad? I mean he’s doing a lot better since he got here. I think he was just lonely back home. Having me around is making things easier on him and the old man doesn’t have to worry as much,” he let out a little laugh. “Thanks for asking, though.” His smile got a little bigger as he released her arm and flicked some of his hair over his shoulder. “What can I say! I was genetically blessed. But I think you’re part of the people in camp who actually have nicer hair than me, Val. Don’t be so humble.”

“Oh, shit. Mountain time? I’m from Arizona. You’re fucking kidding.” Kennedy clapped Hawk on the back hard, grinning at the other boy. “Okay. You’re not from here but you seem like you have a pretty good fucking idea about what the hell is going on around here. You know think you could show me a good time?”

"Oh nice! I’m not kidding! I grew up in Browning but I’ve been here for the past seven years so it might as well be home now,” Hawk winced a little as he got slapped on the back. Instead of showing it, he slapped the other guy on the back almost as hard with a bright grin on his face. “Well, I would hope so after how long I’ve been here! Depends on what you think is a good time around here but there’s a lot of stuff, you know? Especially since more people started moving in.”
