swinging the right way :: mati&theo

Mati frowned, still unsure, as she watched Josie drag Theo towards the swings - while she appreciated the affinity Josie had taken to Theo, she didn’t want the little girl to get too used to be given everything she wanted - but Josie’s cuteness truly won over everyone she knew. Mati watched him set Josie in the toddler’s swing, and her own frown melted off when she saw Josie’s joyful giggles. She looked up at Theo, who seemed to be enjoying himself as well.

Soon, Josie had rested her head against the chains and yawned, her eyes drooping. “Oh, it’s time for someone’s nap.” Mati whispered in a baby-tone as she stopped the soft swinging and with effort, heaved up her little toddler into her arms, in the process, her bag toppled to the ground and all her papers and applications fell out of it, “Oh, shoot…” Mati whispered, frustrated, before patted Josie’s back softly when the girl stirred and whined a little - knowing if Josie didn’t have a good nap she’d be cranky the rest of the day. “Could you get those for me?” Mati asked Theo, smiling apologetically, resting her cheek against the top of Josie’s head softly as she listened to her soft breathing.

Once Josie began to get tired, Theo slowed the swing down for Mati to be able to stop it and get her out. As she did that though, her bag fell, all sorts of papers coming out of it and he frowns some, already leaning down to get them for her when she asked him to. He couldn’t help but see a few titles on each paper, different applications for jobs and the college and he stands, her bag hanging from his elbow as he straightened out her papers, placing them inside carefully and letting the bag slide down his forearm some to grab the handle and help her get it back on. “Looking for a job already?” he asks, smiling some. “Y’know... Lia may need some help in the afternoons when my shift is over,” he suggests, giving her smile. “And morning classes are better at the U of O anyway,” he tells her.

They start to walk some once she’s got everything she needs, Theo seeing her struggling a bit with the sleeping toddler. He hums some, turning to her slightly. “I can take her if you want?” he asks, making sure that she was alright with it before reaching for the girl, taking her slowly and laughing some when all she did was get comfortable with her head against his shoulder. “When do you pant on starting the Uni?” he asks, voice soft as he looks over at Mati now.

Camira took a seat, happy to sit across from Theo. “Yes…” She replied, shooting him a small smirk before they were promptly greeted by their waiter. “One medium pineapple and ham pizza and a randomized one of the same size for pretty boy over there,” She ordered, nodding her head over towards Theo; half speaking to the man hired to take their orders and half speaking to the one she shared a booth with. “And an order of breadsticks, of course. We can’t forget those,” She added as their waiter finished scrawling down the order and taking his leave. Camira’s lips turned up into a sly smile as she looked back over at Theo. “—We’ll share, and this better be good.”

Theo smiled, leaning back in his seat, content to let Camira order for them. He lets out a soft laugh when she orders a randomized pizza for him, giving her a playful wink when she calls him pretty boy. He waits for her to finish ordering, leaning forward again and placing his arms on the table, lacing his fingers together. “And what if you don’t like it?” he questions, raising an eyebrow when she tells him that his pizza better be good. A small smile spreads on his lips. “So what’ve you been up to, Camira? How’s Aquilo?” he asks, leaning back again, never having been one to be able to sit still for too long.

"It doesn’t depress me then because it saves me from falling behind," She says, hopping up and following behind him, she smiles and shrugs at his question. "Will you win me a giant stuffed monkey this time? Oh, and buy me a Mexican pizza? I’m broke and underpaid."

“Then you should be thanking me,” he teases as he begins to close up the shop, turning the sign from ‘open’ to ‘closed’ with a flick of his wrist. She asks about him winning her a giant stuffed monkey and buying her food, commenting about how much she’s paid and he snorts. “You get paid a decent amount,” he says, turning to face her after shutting the curtains and blinds. “It’s not our fault you spend it the day you get it,” he hums, laughing when she smacks his arm. “But yes, I’ll buy you food and win you the giant monkey. Let’s go.”

Camira watches as Theo places his hand over his heart and she laughs along with him, genuinely enjoying his company as they continue on. Soon, the two of them arrive at Proteus Pizzeria and, letting the doors to the place close behind them, Camira looks over at Theo. “I’ll let you pick the seat.”

Theo nods, looking around some. "I'm getting a booth," he tells her, walking off towards the door, spotting an open clean one and having a seat, waiting for Camira to join him. "You know what we're getting?"

Mati smiled, a smile that said damn right she is, she is my cute child. Josie was swinging Theo’s hand in her own, and Mati tilted her head. Josie never really seemed to take such strong liking to people she had just met - although Mati was partially to blame for that because she never let any strangers within a 10 mile radius to Josie. The abandonment issues had led to trust issues, and Mati was sort of glad Josie didn’t inherit her mother’s paranoia.

Josie scrunched up her face and roared again, squinting through her big eyes as her cheeks all bundled up, and Mati laughed, “She recently watched Monster Inc. five times so she’s kind getting in touch with her Boo side.” Mati gestured to her little ponytails. Josie tugged at Theo’s hand towards the swings, blabbing as she pointed towards the swings. It was at these moments that Josie’s lack to form words worried Mati, and her heart painfully skipped a beat in her chest. “Josie, baby, you’re playing with mommy now, okay. Theo looks tired.” Mati looked to Theo’s face then at Josie’s when she whined some more and let her lower lip tremble as she tried to move towards the swings anyways.

Theo laughs some as Josie started to swing his hand in both of her own, grinning widely when the little girl roared again, her face all scrunched up and cute. He looks to Mati when she speaks, nodding in understanding when she said that Josie had just marathoned Monsters Inc. He looks back down though when Josie tugged on his hand, pointing to the swings and speaking jibberish and he hums, knowing what she wanted. "You wanna swing?" he questions, Josie nodding quickly before Mati speaks, mentioning that he looks tired. He was, sure, but he didn't mind spending a little extra time with the girls, unable to say no when he saw the adorable pout on the child's lips.

"Its not a problem. I've got the rest of the day free anyway," he tells her, smiling as he stepped towards the swings some, Josie tugging hard on his hands as she tried to make him walk faster. He walks with her to the ones made specifically for toddlers, picking her up and placing her in it, giving Mati a reassuring smile when she looked a bit worried, like he felt obligated to be nice to them. "Don't worry, really, I'm not as tired as I look, I promise," he tells her, gently starting to swing the littler girl enough that she began to giggle happily.

"Okay, that’s gross, we’re definitely not ordering them to throw a bunch of random shit on top. I would actually like to enjoy this pizza tasting experience," She chuckled softly. "Let’s just decide to leave the ordering to me, all right? I mean, c’mon, would I ever let you down?" Her lips tug into a smile.

theogodfreymems

"Hey, most of their randomized pizza is good!" he defends, smiling some. He nods though when she tells him to leave the ordering up to her. "As you wish," he hums, laughing softly when she asked if she would ever let him down. "Of course not, I trust you completely," he says almost dramatically, making a show of resting his hand over his heart as he says it before laughing again.

Syrena walks into the pizzeria and throws her books down on one of the booth tables. She sees a group of five people borderline glaring at her, having not yet sat down. “If you don’t think I’ll take an entire booth to myself, you are dead wrong,” she mutters, sitting down. She takes out her books and starts to work vigorously on her research project.

theogodfreymems

Theo walks into the pizzeria for his break, hoping it wasn't too crowded. Just his luck, it wasn't overly crowded or loud, perfect to get some studying in before he had to go back to the shop to finish off his shift. He sees a group staring at the girl sitting alone in her booth while he's walking up to the front, brows furrowing when he sees one of the guys pick up a garlic knot, seeing him aim and realizing what he was trying to do. He instinctively holds up his hand when the guy hurls it, the girl sensing something off as he uses his magic to stop it just in front of her face when she looks up. Flicking his hand, the knot flies back towards the table, hitting the guy who threw it right beside his eye, him letting out a yelp. Theo smirks some, glancing back at the girl who was now looking at him. "Sorry about them, they're dicks."

"You and I. We need to have a little talk. I better hope for your sake that we have all the time in the world. Else, you have to dissapoint your other obligations."

Theo gives Keara a slightly confused look, raising an eyebrow at her and how she seemed ticked off for a reason he couldn't pinpoint. "Is there a reason you look like you want to punch something?"

theogodfreymems

Theo smiled a little brighter when Mati said she didn’t want him to take the charm off, but he made a mental note to ask before he just did things when it came to her and Josie. It was just something he wasn’t completely used to, since magic was such a huge part of his everyday life, he barely did anything without it. He shakes his head some when she asks how much it is, looking in her bag. “It’s—” he starts, cut off when she speaks again and he lets out a short huff of a laugh, gently gripping her arm and letting go when she paused to look at him. “Consider it a housewarming gift. No charge,” he smiles.

Mati looked up when he touched her arm, and she blinked, slightly dazed - surprised. She blinked momentarily and a small smile broke onto her lips, she could already tell she was going to be good friends with Theo and Lia. “Um, thank you.” Mati smiled broadly up at him and nodded, relaxing a little. She reached out to take the jar from Josie and place it gingerly in her bag, “I have to go. I still have a lot to do.” Mati said apologetically, but she was still smiling, “Say bye-bye to Theo, Josie, and thank you for the gift.” But Josie only waved her little palm at Theo and touched her lips to her palm before she waved it at Theo again, blowing him a kiss. Mati laughed, “Thanks again. I’ll uh…I’ll see you around.”

Camira gives Theo a look when he comments about her being pretty. “Excuse you, I don’t know what you’re talking about, I’m pretty all of the time,” She scoffs and rolls her eyes playfully, following Theo out of the shop’s door when he finishes writing in some book. She catches up to him so they’re walking beside one another. She gleams up at him. “…So, what kind of pizza are you in the mood for? I think I want breadsticks too.”“

theogodfreymems

"Oh, I know that," Theo tells her. "You're just extra pretty with that angry pout you do," he points out, shrugging as they walked out, Camira picking up her pace some to walk alongside him, asking what kind of pizza he was in the mood for. He hums, thinking for a moment. "Breadsticks are a given, always," he says, glancing over at her. "But I don't know what pizza I'm in the mood for. I'm just hungry. Maybe I'll do the seafood pizza. Or just ask them to throw a bunch of random shit on top," he shrugs. "Or you could pick."

That morning, Mati set out and picked up job applications where she wanted to be working, with lots of papers about times and salaries and insurance. She was determined to go through them during the afternoon, but when she passed by the university’s building, she couldn’t resist - and she grabbed application papers from there too.

Then Josie saw the park games set up with kids playing in them and was more than determined to play as well. That’s how Mati ended up with a bag filled with papers and a child playing on the slide. However, her frustration at the change of plans melted away as soon as she saw Josie laughing hurrying around the swing to go again, and Mati had to hold her hand because Josie, just like Mati, didn’t have lots of grace on her little feet.

Once down the slide, Josie didn’t go back for another turn, instead she ran towards the lane, and Mati almost called out for her, and she saw Josie start to tip toe behind someone, Theo, Mati finally realized, when Josie roared, or tried to roar as she clasped his hand, attempting to scare him. Mati giggled, shaking her head as she walked up to Theo and her giggling daughter who seemed proud of herself now, “I’m…sorry about that?” Mati laughed, looking down as Josie held Theo’s hand between both hers.

Theo had groaned when he had come into the shop that morning, seeing a note from Lia reminding him to make a few batches of his 'pickmeup potion' for the cafe. He knows it's the time both the Uni and the Academy started with the projects and the papers and the exams, seeing as he spent most of the night prior transferring notes and finishing the paper for the class he was taking. He had completely forgotten that he needed to make the batches, knowing the small shots would be used as boosters in the drinks of the students.

He had spent most of his morning making the batches, carefully placing the small vials into one of the special holders Lia had for them, charming them still as an extra precaution. When he's sure everything is safe and secured, he gets it over to the cafe, knowing the midday rush was coming and wanting them to have the potions for the afternoon customers that used the rest of their day to study. When that's over and done with, all he really wants is to go back home and relax for a bit before he got to studying again for one of his other classes.

He's not expecting to run into Josie and Mati though, so when the toddler grips onto his hand, roaring at him, he laughs a little surprised, the sound too cute for him not to laugh. He gripped her little hands in his, pretending she had scared him, smiling when she giggled. Mati walks over, sort of apologizing and he shakes his head and smiling down at Josie. "Don't be, she's cute," he tells her, looking back to Mati and grinning brightly. He kneels down some, his attention back on Josie and he smiles. "And Josie is a big scary lioness today huh?" he asks, smiling when the little girl giggled again.

#para: swinging the right way

When his smile fell, Mati felt somewhat guilty of her own incapability to cope so quickly. She looked down at the jar then shook her head once, “No, I think I’m going to have to delve into all of this one way or another and I think that’s a good first step.” Mati explained with a smile, before she brought her bag forward and started going through it, “How much is it again?” She asked, too busy with looking through her bag, “I didn’t change money yet but I have dollars, wait, it’s here.” Her voice trailed off as she went through the bag, sighing a little in frustration.

Theo smiled a little brighter when Mati said she didn't want him to take the charm off, but he made a mental note to ask before he just did things when it came to her and Josie. It was just something he wasn't completely used to, since magic was such a huge part of his everyday life, he barely did anything without it. He shakes his head some when she asks how much it is, looking in her bag. "It's--" he starts, cut off when she speaks again and he lets out a short huff of a laugh, gently gripping her arm and letting go when she paused to look at him. "Consider it a housewarming gift. No charge," he smiles.

Camira continued to sit upon the counter and just let her eyes travel along with Theo as he went over to one of the shelves inside his store. She groaned loudly when he mentioned the topic of ‘the new ones in town’. She knew exactly who he was refrencing. When he turned to face her once again, she hopped off the counter. “Look, we can get pizza together but I’m going to have to officially ban you from any and all talk about those bottom-feeders. That’s the rule.”

theogodfreymems

Theo gave an amused laugh when he heard Camira's loud groan at the topic of the sirens. When he faced her she had hopped off the counter, saying they could get pizza but he was banned from talking about the sirens. "Oh but you're so pretty all worked up and annoyed," he teases, smirking some as he pulled out the book Lia had him and Meredith sign into as sort of a time card. "But I promise. No more bottom feeder talk," he swears, making an 'x' over his heart before signing out and putting the book away. "Alright, come on then," he tells her, leading her towards the door.

Theo makes a mock offended face. “I am nothing but wholesome and pure I’ll have you know,” he says, smiling as he leads her over to the counter, ringing up the jar. “400 drachma.”

"Keep telling yourself that." Rosie replies with a small eye roll. She takes out the money and hands it to him. "Okay, well, I’m gonna go now. And just to make sure you actually go to the open mic.. I used to have a crush on you in the sixth grade, tell you more when you go to open mic. Bye." she says quickly and gets out of the store before he says anything.

#/gonna casually end this here tbh #c: rosie1

Mati’s eyes linger to the jar momentarily before they flicker to Theo’s face, “Right.” She laughed nervously. This whole world was brand new to her and she definitely wasn’t used to talking about it so openly. She watched him hand the jar to Josie and almost objected had Josie not hugged it to her chest. She looked up at Theo as he spoke, her lips fallen slack, speechless, before she pressed them together and started, “I, uh, thank you. I mean, you’re offering so much, the thing with the phone..um, yeah that would be great actually.” She stuttered, lots of people were being friendly to hr and Mati was new to this policy. She looked down at the jar skeptically before she heaved out a sigh - she’d eventually have to accept this world. “I’m still new to this whole world so magic isn’t really…safe to me…No offense.” She looked up at Theo hesitantly, “I mean of course I’d love your help it’s just…you get it, right?” She started hesitantly, hoping she hadn’t offended him as she wrung her hands together.

theogodfreymems

Theo's smile faded some as she spoke, the realization dawning. "Right, no, no offense at all. I grew up here so I've been using magic my whole life, I tend to forget the newbies need time to get used to it," he says with a shrug, pointing down at the jar. "If you want, I could take the charm off that and you could just use it as a decoration for her room?"

Mati smiled broadly, “Thank you.” - she absolutely loved it when people said Josie looked just like Mati. She let out a small laugh, “She did make a comment about having a twenty-two year old son than almost had me believing she was immortal, if that even is a thing.” Mati shrugged, then made sure Josie was following her as her eyes flickered across the shop, “It’s friendly.” Mati nodded, “It will be good for her.” Mati nodded as she watched Josie eye the jar in Theo’s hand. “So many things to do. I still have yet to get an Iris phone and baby proof our place.” Mati rambled on, “Never been a fan of moving.”

theogodfreymems

Theo laughs some, shaking his head. "Demigods aren't. But the sirens and the nymphs are. So are the mermaids and other... non-demigod beings," he explains, passing a hand over the jar, the contents swirling some before settling and he leans down, handing it to Josie and smiling when she hugs it to her chest. "Oh well Adrian can help you out with that. All you have to do is get your current phone on the Iris plan and have Adrian upgrade it," he smiles, pointing to the jar. "Dream dust, nothing but the best parts of her imagination, sprinkle some on her pillow before you get her to bed," he says, smiling and shrugging a bit. "If you need help baby proofing I could save you some time. A little spell will make everything safe."

Rosie squints her eyes at him before nodding slowly. “I’ll get it then. And also, there’s always a need to bust out heavy threats when you’re involved.” She laughs a little before taking out her wallet and asking,”Oh yeah, how much?”

theogodfreymems

Theo makes a mock offended face. "I am nothing but wholesome and pure I'll have you know," he says, smiling as he leads her over to the counter, ringing up the jar. "400 drachma."
