Troy retrieved the picture from his pocket while Skylar was heading off. She was lucky that Chiron stepped in. He'd definitely see her in the arena later. He still wasn't convinced about this war, but he could see himself being dragged into it. He may have not necessarily liked the daughter of Zeus, but he had no intentions of killing her. He didn't want to kill any of his cousins or siblings. That's why this whole war was stupid. These gods were going to let their kids practically fight their battles for them and then lose kids as it continued. He couldn't believe that these powerful beings were so selfish and stu--. No he could definitely believe that.

He held the picture of him and his mother in his hand. He was about five years old then. He didn't know what was up with his mother's fascination with Polaroids back then and he didn't understand it now either. He could feel his anger slowly waning as he just simply stared at the picture. He caught the words between Chiron and Sierra, but didn't move to look up at them. He would have reacted to being called a nuisance, but the words "very powerful" before then made it better.

He finished looking at his picture when Sierra spoke to him and pretty much told him that she wasn't going to babysit him and that he could go back to his mischief. He wouldn't have really called it mischief per say. He honestly didn't even know what to call it. A rivalry didn't fully describe it. He shrugged and was about to follow her because he never got to hang out with a Hunter of Artemis before, but then Kiran started speaking to him.

She was beautiful and someone he wanted to get to know. There was just something about her that just sparked with him. It was weird though. The only time something sparked for him was when he was talking to daughters of Athena and they went on about different things to show their brilliance. That was it. Kiran had to have some great knowledge.

[color=00aeef]"Actually. I wouldn't mind if you sat with me. I didn't get to finish my pancakes before the whole thing happened. You're probably hungry too, right?"[/color] He started to put away the picture before sitting down and grabbing his fork. He was going to eat whether she ended up joining him or not. He wasn't going to starve on the account of a girl. He liked them, but he didn't like them enough not to eat.

Dorian was startled by a metal dragon running towards him. He would have been more terrified if he hadn't known what had accompanied the metal beast. It was one of his friends, Rhea. He was surprised that they even became friends. She was more wild and loud than he ever was. She was nice and didn't care at all that he was the son of death. That's one of the reasons he decided to let her get somewhat close to him. At least as close as he would let someone get.

He gave her a smile. It wasn't a full one, but it wasn't a dead one either. It was just pretty average. [color=0054a6]"Hello Rhea. I just got here a bit ago. My summer was... fine. I spent time between my home and the Underworld."[/color] One of the positive things that came out of being the child of Thanatos was that he had more interaction with his godly parent than most of the other children had. One of the reasons was that he was his only child and because he was able to travel freely between this realm and the lower one. He wouldn't exactly brag about it though. He knew how a lot of the children felt about the negligence of their parents. When she told him that Festus said hi he walked up to the dragon and placed his ungloved left hand onto his nose and said, [color=0054a6]"Hello to you too."[/color] He didn't remove his hand yet. It felt nice touching the metal dragon. Despite his right hand being the dangerous he liked being able to touch Festus without worry. He wasn't entirely sure if he could harm the dragon with his decaying ability and he certainly didn't want to try it out to find out.

He looked to Rhea while still touching the dragon's nose and shook his head. [color=0054a6]"Not yet. Let us head over."[/color]
