An Eye For An Eye

Lynx Tion / They / 21 / claimed child of Nemesis / A bit suspicious and extremely sarcastic "They might have clipped our wings, but they forgot that we still bare claws. It was their fatal mistake."

@lynxti0n​:

Lynx let a gentle smile slip across their lips. “A date it is, Love.” They whisper, still not quite believing it. They tighten their grip around Isla and peck her lips once more before letting go completely. “Well then, I think you should head back before breakfast is over. Sorry about pulling you away like that…” They rub the back of their neck and laugh, “I’m going to hang back and train a bit. I’ll see you around, yeah? Maybe come and join me later?” Lynx stretches their arms and smirks, A playful tone tinting their voice, “Just maybe you can beat me this time.”

“Wanting to get the last kiss, I see.” Isla smiled, biting her lip to keep herself from grinning. “It`s totally fine. This is better than a plate of bacon.” She nodded, her eyebrows raised in challenge. “We`ll see about that.”

“Hm, as if I could pass up a chance to kiss you.” Lynx let a lazy smirk works it’s way onto their lips as their gaze slid across Isla’s face, studying her yet again. “I’d hope I could account to more than bacon, if I didn’t, I’d have to triple my efforts.” They laugh and shake their head.

“I guess I should get training if I want to have a chance to beat the almighty Isla in the arena, yeah? Even if I was technically the one to win last time.” They tease, sarcasm heavy, than cough not-so-subtibly. “Anyway, I’ll see you later, Beautiful. Stop by when you have the time to get your ass kicked by yours truly.” At that they take Isla’s hand and slip a quick kiss her knuckles before turning and to walking towards the weapon shed.

@lynxti0n​:

Lynx stared into Isla’s eyes, just looking and reading. Suddenly they growled deep in their throat, “ugh! fuck this shit!” Lynx reached forward and pulled Isla close by wrapping an arm around her waist and placing a hand on her cheek. They quickly tilted their head and placed their lips against hers, hesitating here and there as if Isla would suddenly pull away, but holding onto her as if she would disappear. They slowly pull away and rest their head against hers, looking into her eyes carefully. “I have fallen far too hard, far too fast, and I am at the end of my shit about it. You’re driving me crazy, Beautiful… Am I already insane for loving every second of it? If so, then send me straight to the asylum because I’m not stopping any time soon.“ They whisper against her lips, both of their breaths fanning across each others lips. “I really, really like you, Isla, perhaps even love… and as much as I am terrified of your possible answer, I still have to ask…” Lynx’s grip stiffened a bit and they took a deep breath, “Will you be able to stand me enough to be my girlfriend? To love me and be loved by me? Will you go out with me?” They closed their eyes and waited for her answer.

Isla was surprised by the kissed, but she returned it gently, both of them still testing out the waters. When they pulled away, Isla was smiling, even giggling a little. “I can`t be your girlfriend yet–take me to dates first. But yes, I`d love to go out with you, Lynx,” she said, pressing a soft kiss on their lips.

@islacortland

Isla couldn`t help but smile when Lynx calls her beautiful that it was almost her nickname to them. She followed the other in the arena, crossing her arms when they stopped. She had a faint idea of what Lynx might want to talk about, but Isla wanted to hear it from them. “Yeah?”

Isla couldn`t run with her bacon-filled stomach, so she had been floating in the air behind Lynx. “What-are we training? But we just ate,” she said but followed them anyway.’

Lynx just chuckled under their breath and smirked. “Just trust me, Beautiful. yeah?” they grabbed Isla’s hand and tugged her back down to earth, catching her when she stumbled. They pulled her over to a spot in the training arena that was a bit far off and empty. They turned back to the other demigod and shuffled their feet, eyes cast down. “I just thought that since this is where we first met... well... I guess I thought it would be fitting... I uhm... well... you see...” Lynx coughed and bit their lip, scrunching their eyebrows as they thought over what to say.

@islacortland

“What-okay.” Isla grabbed the last piece of bacon on her plate before standing up and following Lynx. “Where are we going?”

Lynx glances behind them and continues to speed-walk with their eyes forward. “Somewhere important!” they call behind them. After a few minutes the training arena came into view. They glance behind them once again and send a shy smile to Isla. “Come on! hurry up!” They shout at Isla, then speed up, almost running at this point, and disappear around the a corner in the arena.

[lynxti0n-blog]

@islacortland

Isla looked up at them as she took a sip from her goblet. “Yeah? What is it?”

“Well... uhm... I-I uh...” Lynx cruses under their breath, glancing around at the surrounding tables breaming with other demigods. “Fuck this. Come on, Follow me.” They suddenly stand up and grab Isla’s wrist, pulling her up with them. Lynx starts walking away at a fast pace, heading towards a more secluded spot, hands stuffed in their pockets and head looking down.

@islacortland

Isla rolled her eyes playfully, looking down at her food when she felt her cheeks blushing. “Oh, I`m gonna eat my heart it. Totally didn`t have too much to drink,” she said, chuckling. “Do you need anything?”

Lynx stares at her for a moment, studying her features, taking notes on how she looked in the light. They suddenly cough and glance away, turning their head to hide the heat in their face. ‘gods, how did I get here? How did it come to this?’ Lynx thought, shifting in their seat. ‘I guess it’s now or never’ They take a deep breath and turn to look Isla in the eyes, making sure they had her attention before speaking. “Actually... there is something I need to ask you about.”

[lynxti0n-blog]

Isla brought her plate and sat across Lynx. “Hey. What`s up

Lynx glances at Isla and rest their head in their arms, “mornin’.” They mumble into the table. “The sky is what’s up, all you had to do is look.” The joke slips out as they raise their head and smirk at the girl across from them. “I’m just tired. How’r you doin’ this morning, beautiful?”

Morning Manners

Lynx stares at their food as others bussle on with their breakfast. They push the plate away and sigh, before laying their forehead on the table, wishing they were back in their quiet cabin or walking alone in the woods, practically anywhere that’s away from this crowd of demigods. Lynx’s feelings only increase when they hear a familiar voice tell them, “I know you hate breakfast, but you do still need to eat something. You didn’t eat dinner last night either.”

@bluedelaurant

With Lynx’s slurring and his bad hearing, Blue only understood a part of what they wanted to say. Either way, he decided to make it quick and efficient, cleaning the wounds and making sure that there were no glass stuck on their skin. After a short while, he wrapped the cuts with bandages. “See? I’m done.”

“Hmmm... Thank ya-,” Lynx yawns once more, “-fur not hurtin me.” They curl into a ball once more, though this time in comfort and not panic. They sleepily look over Blue and give him a small smile.

[bluedelaurant-deactivated202010]

lynxti0n:

“They’re… They’re not here…?” Lynx peeks out from their pillow. “You won’t urt me? Promise?” They slowly start to uncurl from their ball, lips still trembling. They look at Blue in the eyes with a pleading gaze, trying to trust that he won’t hurt them, not like HE did.

“They’re definitely not here. They can’t come through the border.” Blue still had his hands in front of him in a non-threatening manner to show Lynx that he wasn’t going to hurt them. “I’m not going to hurt you. I just want to help you. You’ve hurt your feet earlier with the glass and I want to help you with that.”

[lynxti0n-blog]

Lynx hesitates, glancing at Blues hands, then at his face, tears still lining their eyes. "Owkay..." They hug the pillow to their chest. Even when drunk and barely awake, they don't want anyone touching their wounds, seeing them weak. "Bu' make et fahst... AND DON'T TLL AMYOON!" They slur out, making less and less sense the more and more tired they become.

“He said that too. But onds… wounds are weaknesssss.” Lynx mumbles out, reciting the single line what was drilled into their head. “Wounds are weakness. Ounds err weakness.” They mubble quietly, slowly slipping into darkness again.

“I’m Blue de Laurant, son of Hebe. I’m not going to hurt you Lynx…” Blue trailed off, trying to think of ways to let them know that they were okay. “You’re in Camp Half-Blood… You’re safe and you’re inside your cabin. Nobody is going to hurt you. They’re not here.”

[lynxti0n-blog]

"They're... They're not here...?" Lynx peeks out from their pillow. "You won't urt me? Promise?" They slowly start to uncurl from their ball, lips still trembling. They look at Blue in the eyes with a pleading gaze, trying to trust that he won't hurt them, not like HE did.

lynxti0n:

“No no nooooo!” Lynx spits out and tucks their feet under the sheets, curling into a tight ball. “Nooo! You’ll h-hurt me! Pease don’ urt me!” Lynx slurs and whimpers, clutching the pillow, their eyes hazing over with memories.

“Hey, my hands are up here.” Blue made a show of keeping his hands near his head but he knew Lynx wouldn’t be able to tell. “It’s me, it’s Blue. I’m not going to hurt you. You’re back in camp, in the Nemesis cabin. You’re with me, Blue. Your friend. I’m not going to hurt you, Lynx.” He repeated.

"He said that too. But onds... wounds are weaknesssss." Lynx mumbles out, reciting the single line what was drilled into their head. "Wounds are weakness. Ounds err weakness." They mubble quietly, slowly slipping into darkness again.

“M’ bleedin?” Lynx looks down at the red stain on the floor, then follows the trail to the bottom of their feet. “Huh, I am bleedin.” Lynx giggles a bit then yawns again and puts their head under their pillow, mumbling incoherently.

“I’m going to start cleaning the cuts, okay?” Blue said, gently nudging Lynx. “You’re in no proper place to take a nap right now… At least take some ambrosia or nectar.”

[lynxti0n-blog]

"No no nooooo!" Lynx spits out and tucks their feet under the sheets, curling into a tight ball. "Nooo! You'll h-hurt me! Pease don' urt me!" Lynx slurs and whimpers, clutching the pillow, their eyes hazing over with memories.

[bluedelaurant-deactivated202010]

lynxti0n:

“Mmmmm” Lynx groans as light flooded through the door way, their hands coming up to rub their burning eyes. “wh’s theer? wh’d you want? go away.” They mumble out to the unknown person in their cabin. All they wanted to do is sleep, drink, and be alone. They yawn and roll over on their bed, closing their eyes.

“It’s Blue… I just want to make sure you don’t hurt yourself.” Blue said as he finished cleaning the broken glass on the floor, checking if he had left anything before kneeling beside Lynx’s bed. “You’re going to get blood all over your sheets.”

“M’ bleedin?” Lynx looks down at the red stain on the floor, then follows the trail to the bottom of their feet. “Huh, I am bleedin.” Lynx giggles a bit then yawns again and puts their head under their pillow, mumbling incoherently.

@txmlin-fitz

“Sure. But we have to swear that there will be no judgement about what is said and nothing we talk about leaves this table.” He says raising his eyebrows. He sticks his hand out upon approval and shakes their hand. “You first, what’s on your mind Lynx?” 

“Oh gods, where do I start?” Lynx chuckles nervously and runs their fingers through their hair, “uhm... I guess I can start with the fate’s seem to hate me. If... If this gets too heavy or too much just- just tell me to stop and I’ll drop it immediately.” They shift around and glance at Tamlin before turning their gaze to the city crowd passing by.
