@lunarxtique asked ❛ i’m not afraid of you. ❜

the training grounds were usually filled with demigods, training the day away to be as strong as possible and yet nobody was there today. the big hitters, like calvin and silas, weren't there and atticus didn't have anyone he could study. the son of athena liked to spend his lunch time watching the other godlings so he could better come up with tactical plans in combat.

idly making his way to the center of the battle grounds, atticus held his spear in his hand as he studied a few of the other weapons left behind. he started to waving it around and pretending like he was going to throw it, as if he were in the midst of battle. that was until he heard a familiar voice behind him, dropping the spear and nearly falling on his ass. 

"you sure that's so wise?" atticus couldn't hold back the smile on his face, trying to be playful with the son of artemis. "aren't i ferocious?"

It had come to a relief, really, to the son of Hephaestus when he had seen Davon's name pop up in the godlings group chat. Part of him had been afraid, really, that the son of Artemis had decided to leave the camp for good, joining the likes of the other godlings that decided this life wasn't for them, and that had saddened him. While he and Von certainly had had a connection prior to coming, he felt as though his connection with the other godling had only strengthened since coming here - the same said for his connection to the son of Aphrodite, too - and so he couldn't help but be glad that he had come back.

And yet... He couldn't help but feel as though there was something weighing on Von. Whether or not he'd want to talk about it, he wasn't sure, but he figured that at the very least, he'd be there for the other godling and let him know that he did, at least, have someone in his corner. And he figured that bringing over some food wouldn't hurt, either.

Making sure to gather the baozi that he had made, leaving some left over as a peace offering to some of the other godlings that he planned to reach out to, he headed to the newly rebuilt Artemis cabin and approached with a smile on his face. Letting his knuckles rap against the door, he waited for a moment until he saw Von. "Hey. Here's the bao, as requested," he stated, holding up the container of food in his hands. "Mind if I come in?"

Location; Campgrounds With; Davon @lunarxtique

Sleeplessness was steadily becoming something he figured he might just have to deal with for now. Too much energy, not enough of an outlet, too many questions to be answered and no way of really knowing where to start digging. It's what had him trudging his way through the camp grounds themselves once the sun had fallen fully beneath the horizon, hoping to burn figuring out something.

Anything.

He was in the middle of a yawn when the back of his neck suddenly prickled, eyes on him, and he reached with his free hand for where he'd been told to leave his rapier.

It, obviously, wasn't there, but still.

"Hello?"

location the artemis cabin

-

after nearly losing so many people during the invasion, atticus wanted to ensure everyone was taken care of and doing alright. there were a few who stopped by his cabin to get their wounds checked out but he wanted to make sure everyone else was doing alright. one of those was davon, atticus heard that part of his cabin had caught fire. as he made his way to the cabin, the son of athena saw that the door was partially open. who might be there right now? "davon?" he called out as he approached the front door and peared in. "are you here?" waiting a moment or two, atticus finally decided to take a step closer. "i just came by to check on you, see if you needed anything."

@lunarxtique

The son of Hephaestus had been busy since the invasion. Between helping to contain the flames until people could douse the flames with water, carrying debris to the designated area and ensuring that the infirmary was in good hands, Matai found himself far busier than he'd like - but he knew that there were still some people that he needed to check in on. And one of those, in particular, was Davon.

If you had to ask him, he thought that Von was instrumental in their fight against the shadow dancer, the assassin and the son of Loki. Had it not for him, he was sure that he'd have gone down - and many of their allies would have gone down and not been able to get back up... and yet no one had been there to check on him and see how he was doing.

That's how he found himself looking for Von, curious as to where he was since the Artemis cabin was being rebuilt. "Hey Von," he finally called out as he spotted him, walking closer to the former musician. "You doing okay?" Between his cabin having been on fire and everything that happened, he was sure that he wasn't - but at least Tai was there for him if he needed it. "I know you were looking out for everyone, but has anyone looked out for you?"

closed for @lunarxtique location the amphitheater

—

there were a few spots atticus liked to sneak away to when he wanted some peace and quiet. of course there was the lake but it was becoming a popular spot for the other godlings. one of the other locations was the amphitheater, used primarily for meetings. it was a beautiful day and atticus wanted to get some fresh air while reading. grabbing a snack from the kitchen, the son of athena made his way to the amphitheater when he spotted someone else already there. "oh," he stopped once he realized it was davon. "sorry, i didn't mean to interrupt you."

After coming back from the middle of nowhere Arizona, fresh from their rendezvous with literal cowboys and a centaur, Matai couldn't help but feel on edge. He knew that there were a few guys that thought similarly to him, that they shouldn't have let their guard down and welcomed the cowboys with open arms and holes, and he wondered what they were thinking now that they were back home. One of those that he could tell had thought similarly to him was Von, the son of Artemis that he had had history with prior to the camp, and he had easily found him after lunch one afternoon.

"So, what did you think of the cowboys? Really?" Matai asked as he looked at the other, curiosity written in his eyes.

@lunarxtique

Extravagance wasn't anything new to Matai. Long before he became a champion mixed-martial-artist, he had attended many galas and lavish parties thrown by his mother on behalf of his father or thrown by some of his father's friends, business partners and "colleagues". Of course, as extravagant as they were, they certainly didn't hold a candle to the absolute feast that was bestowed upon the godlings as a copious amount of food and drink are set upon tables and seats are gathered around the large bonfire in the middle. For the feast happening in the middle of the woods in the middle of - well, Matai actually doesn't know where they are, but it might as well be in the middle of - nowhere, it was definitely grander than some of the parties he had attended at mansions alongside his family while his father was trying to parade him around as part of the perfect family. And it had even some of the big Hollywood parties beat, too.

Glancing around the congregation of tables, looking at all of the other demigods that were seated and enjoying the festivities, he couldn't help but let his eyes land upon one he had yet to run into until now. Someone else that he knew had tasted the splendor that Hollywood had to offer and he wondered, briefly, how they thought this feast compared to it. The other part of him had wondered if, perhaps, Davon had been hiding from him - the two of them having hooked up at one party that they had both been at and had kept contact with, and occasionally got together, before their song of their blood called to them. Was Davon trying to distance himself or was he, like Matai, just busy training for the role he was prepared to take in the war that was to come?

Either way, Matai realized that now was the best time to approach. The best time to greet the other and see just where they stood. Did he want them to forget about their hookups and start anew, to leave the past in the past - as they were letting go of their claim to fame for a chance to be heroes that lived in infamy - or did he even want to acknowledge Matai's presence there? Whatever the case might be, Matai knew that he needed to know where they stood because at the end of the day, they were going to be fighting together at some point or another.

"How do you think this feast compares to the parties in Hollywood?" Matai started as he approached the younger male, a chalice of whiskey in his hands as he offered a dimpled smile to Davon. "Personally? For a party in the woods, it seems a lot grandeur than half the parties I've attended. Then again, I suppose Los Angeles is known for pretty wild parties and not necessarily grand ones, ey?"

Taking a sip from his drink, he moved to gesture in Davon's direction. "No wonder I couldn't keep my eyes off of you at that first party we attended, though. Figures that someone as beautiful as you would be the son of a God."
