He chuckled a bit at her opening comment to his flirtation. Considering the children of Aphrodite he grew up with, it was interesting to see some Roman counterpart. “My calculating seduction are saved for missions, this is more of…a stretched olive branch. You’re beautiful, but you know that. As I know I’m beautiful, but I thank you in fortifying what I know.”
“Yeah, I give Jackson many props even if I don’t think he really considered everything he was asking for. A brother of mine I haven’t even met yet is apparently assigned in making a shrine or alter for all of the gods, poor devil. He’s got his hands full. Chiron asked me to come as a representative of Camp Half-Blood but also because he thinks my knowledge of the subject will help. I didn’t stay in Camp Half-Blood and managed to…” well he can’t say survived if he’s been killed and resurrected, can he? That felt like dropping too my at the first meeting. Though he was tempted to play the ‘Child of Zeus’ card in a harder way, just because being in New Rome…in Camp Jupiter, some weird instincts to…take charge. But he’s got some finesse and some grace and knows how politics of the modern world. “For those that weren’t born Roman, who managed to live past 16 and didn’t want to live their lives as camp councilors or stay hidden away on an island, I provided an out.”
“My company, Knyte Corp, in the mortal eyes is a company that designs and sells aircrafts. We employ demigods and other homeless teens, kids, adults, whoever has been affected by the supernatural world in some way to have…credit, tax forms, a place to live, insurance, medical…so I have a few candidates you might want to review. Though I hope the discovery of Greeks wasn’t too much of a shock otherwise some of the residents I house might really shock you.”
“And I never really bonded with other half siblings. We were all too busy apparently falling for one great prophecy or something…I’d much rather get to work with you. Maybe impress and entice you? Maybe annoy and anger you. I’ve seen some of the fury in the children of Aphrodite…and it’s kinda very sexy.But I might just have a thing for danger.” He said with a smirk.
“Oh, Chiron is one I feel for. He must be overwhelmed by all this. I haven’t had the chance to meet him, but I’d like to,” Margaery sipped her coffee again, and listened closely. Absorbing information.
Much of which she hadn’t previously known. She raised a brow, surprised, and her expression became a smile. It was genuine and appreciative.
“Sounds like you and I are in the same business, but you’re better situated, already have a system in place. I’d certainly like to help you with that. I’ve been trying to help find our fellow demigods as well, but even once I do, I have to get them to Camp Halfblood-or here.”
“And ah, I don’t think you really want to see me angry,” Margaery smiled wryly, “I’ve always felt my mother is underestimated given her unusual parantage. But yes, I think we can work together-and I’m impressed.”
