Well, I do just want to be an actor. If I can keep losing myself and finding parts of myself in other people’s writing and direction, then that’s all I can really ask for. That’s all I want, to keep losing myself

Andrew leaving the Whitley Market in Hollywood - november 5th, 2011

[aureliedienes]

For you being an idiot. [She smirked, holding back a laugh.] No no no! [She shrieked as the icy cold water showered her. She flipped the hair out of her face and retaliated immediately, splashing as much water as she could in his direction] 

[sonofatyche]

Oh, now I'm offended! { He grinned, wiping his wet hair from his eyes } And hey, you started it. { He put his hands up to protect himself from the splashes in vain. Pretty soon his t-shirt was clinging - slightly see through - onto his skin } I think you've made your point. { He held out his hand } Shall we end this war? Truce?

[andrewgarfield-daily]

We all have ego and I try to keep mine in check as much as possible, my desire to be Icarus and be more than I am.

[aureliedienes]

Ugh you’re such a loser. [She walked up to right in front of him] C’mon Sammy.

[She pouted. She put her hands on his arms, slowly pulling him towards the shoreline, before forcefully pushing him into the waves] Sorry love.

[sonofatyche]

That's me, { he gave a dopey smile } Sammy the Saddo.

{ He let her pull him gently towards the shoreline } I don't understand what you have against sandcastles anyway. I think they're pretty - { He gasps as he is suddenly forced into the waves } ACK! What was that for?! { He took off his glasses and cleared the lenses with his jumper } Right, that's it. { Using his hand, he started to scoop surprisingly large amounts of water at her } You're going down!

[aureliedienes]

Yes Sam, really. [She winked as she dug her toes into the warm sand] Oh don’t be such a baby. Just take your shirt off and you’re good. [She took off her coverup and tossed it aside] C’mon I’ll race you into the water.

[sonofatyche]

My shirt? I dunno... { He toed the sand with his trainer and shoved his hands in his hoodie pockets } Maybe I'll just watch you from here. I'll build a sandcastle or something.

[aureliedienes]

 [She couldn’t help but smile as she accepted the flower} Yet. We’ll see though.

      Well, c’mon Samuel, the water’s waiting. [She took off running straight towards the sand but looked back at him, motioning for him to follow]

[sonofatyche]

{ Sammy gave a grin at her comment, which didn't fade even when she ran off towards the sand. He jogged up after her } Samuel? Really? { He threw his hands up in the air in exasperation } I don't even have my swim stuff on.

[aureliedienes]

Oh. Oh gods. I’m so sorry.

       Bad things are always happening around here regardless. I suppose it’s one of the downsides to having demigod genes—all our days are numbered.

[sonofatyche]

I don't need your sympathy { He smiled, waving a dismissive hand. To be honest he just wanted to change the subject } I just need to be cautious. Besides, I thought we were going to the beach? I'm hoping we're still buddies because - { Sammy bent down and plucked a small daffodil from the ground } - I don't think I want to be left behind while you go off with the hunky Apollo dude. { He offered the flower to her } How about that? Someone once said to me that you should show your friends your appreciation for them with gifts and cuddles. But something tells me we're not quite at the stage of hugging yet.

[aureliedienes]

[She raised one eyebrow, half skeptical half confused] Have you never been in a fight or something?       Really. [She shrugged] I’ve been told it’s a mouthful.                 Then don’t get on my bad side. Simple.

[sonofatyche]

{ His smile faltered slightly at her question } Not with demigods. { He scratched the back of his head } I - erm - lost somebody close to me while fighting some harpies. { His heart gave an unpleasant clench, but he shrugged as if it were nothing } I don't tend to fight with people because when they do, something bad always happens to them.

[aureliedienes]

Shh, no need to worry about technicalities. Although technically, if luck is always on your side, then doesn’t that mean nobody can kick your ass since you’ll always win due to good luck?       Soulmates? Gods, and you still don’t know my name? Tsk. Tsk. [She held out a hand] Aurelie, Iris Cabin, specializes in rainbows, pegasi, and turning your face green if you ever piss me off.

[sonofatyche]

Shucks, never thought of that. Well, you could kick my ass but by sheer luck I could escape before you rip me to shreds? { He took her hand and shook it } Nice name. You could do that? Awesome. Although, I'm not saying you should. I don't really want to enter my cabin looking like the human bogie.

Andrew Garfield at ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ press conference, April 16th, 2012.

[perceaweedbrain]

          You would be surprised at how often it happens.

[sonofatyche]

Maybe people just want to catch you shirtless. Sorry I'm not some good looking Aphrodite kid, that would be a little more entertaining for you.

[jonesjuliet]

I guess if it hasn’t bitten me already, we’re buddies. [she shrugs and looks up at her head, trying to spot the culprit.]

        Do you think it’s dangerous? I might just keep it and name it Cleopatra. I’m sure she’ll be useful if I ever need to scare people off. 

I’m Juliet, by the way. I haven’t properly introduced myself. 

[sonofatyche]

Well, you haven't exactly given her a chance to bite you yet. They're extremely intelligent, much more than most spiders; they even have a small memory. Treat it like your training a vicious dog. I've actually got one in the forest so if you want any tips just let me know. { He chuckled } As long as you don't use Cleopatra on me, I don't care what you do with it.

Nice to meet you. I'm Sammy.

[aureliedienes]

But aren’t we well beyond the point of first sight? [She smirks, then reverts to a straight face and places a hand on his shoulder in a serious manner] I mean, I thought you said we were best friends Sammy. 

     [Bursting out in a giggle, she crosses her arms] Confident, perhaps. But I never mean to exude intimidation. [She looks down at herself, then back at him] Now look who’s not giving themselves credit. [A smile crawling back upon her lips] But i will admit, I could probably take you.

[sonofatyche]

Well, I haven't looked away yet. Technically we're still looking at each other for the first time.  { He gave a short raise of his eyebrows. Sammy went along with her actions, mimicking her facial expressions up until she let go of his shoulder } Oh, we're more than best friends, we're soul mates. Does that mean you get to tell me your name now? Or is that still strictly prohibited? { He smiled at her giggle } Nah, I guess not. But no doubt that means you can defend yourself if needed. { He shrugged, pushing his shoulders gently forwards } I'm nothing special. If you find something unique and cool about me, call me, I'll be in the Tyche Cabin. { Sammy laughed at her enthusiasm } I think you would. Trouble is luck is always on my side.
