[sup][b]Interacting With:[/b] Each other.[/sup][/center]
[hr][hr]

[color=black][b]"The Queen of Darkness is at it again,"[/b][/color] Brandon smirked, shaking his head. Even if she hadn't done the deed, [i]girl deserved it[/i]. Especially for sending her hounds after him all the damn time.

With everyone huddled up in their little groups chatting about the news the gods had delivered, it was a bit too crowded for the son of Ares, pushing his way through the crowd till he was clear of the small mob of campers. [i]For fucks sake, who actually cared about the goth girl this much? And [b]why[/b]?[/i] Brandon rolled his eyes, stopping a little ways away from the stands to look down at his shirt. It was caked with dirt and a bit of blood. As much as the son of Ares loved showing off just how dirty he could get in training, he really didn't care to go from one activity to another looking as he did now. A shower was most definitely in order before he moved over to the arena where he'd planned to train with his throwing knives some more. The dark-haired boy set off towards the Ares cabin to first handle his current priority.

The whole situation was just... fucked.

A heavy sigh passing out through her lips, watching the retreating figures that belonged to both Octavia and Kalinda as they headed off toward the infirmary for a brief spell longer; Ky' vie lifted her hand up from down at her side. The pads of her fingers pressing firmly into her skin as she took the moment to simply rub at her face. Ignoring the blood, that wasn't her own, as it smudged across her strong features. First real day of summer, and already it was a complete and utter shit show. Like you couldn't get any worse of a sign- a foreshadowing of what the rest of the summer, and for the majority that were full-timers, the remainder of the year, had in store. Already she had regrets about getting out of bed that morning.

Movement catching in the corner of her eye, causing her to turn her head and glance over in that general direction, her steely gaze fell on the familiar figure she'd been giving such a hard time to earlier; though, they both knew it wasn't malicious. At least... it hadn't been at that moment, anyway. The back and forth between that played between them from the very moment they'd met was just natural. That spark of rivalry; animosity. Though it was rarely ever without a hint of affection and, not that it was a secret, but... flirtation. Fuck; he did her head in at times.

Rolling her eyes first, a light shake of her head causing her lips to spawn even the smallest of smirks, Ky lightly placed her hand on Isaura's shoulder. Giving the girl a quick nod before they both went their separate ways. The ice Queen heading away and towards her cabin, while she instead, picked her pace up to a light jog. Her hand reaching out to grab hold of Brandon's shoulder as she caught up to him, [color=#FF4500]"Oi, shithead. Wait up."[/color]

As the young man walked he grabbed the ends of his shirt and tugged the raggedy thing up over his head, slinging it over his shoulder. Off ahead of him some distance he could see the Athena girl with her dog, rolling his eyes at the back of her head. [i]Little shit,[/i] he thought to himself. Talon should have given it to her. Octavia always had to ruin all the fun when it came to her brothers. Speaking of whom, he could see his favorite sister walking off towards the infirmary with Kalinda. Seemed pretty banged up. He wouldn't make a big deal of it, but he made a mental note to check in on his sis later on in the day.

A gentle hand on his shoulder followed by a familiar voice pulled Bran's attention from his sister, turning to catch the daughter of Hephaestus joining him. He smirked and looked down upon her, [color=black][b]"What's the matter, Princess.. having trouble keeping up, mm?"[/b][/color] He chuckled softly, a charming grin plastered to his face. 

[color=black][b]"What happened back there, you were at the top. Just can't help yourself.. too busy watching the real action,"[/b][/color] he winked at her, turning his attention to where he was walking as he moved out of the way of a tree he nearly ran into, smirking at his own actions. [i]'Karma,'[/i] he thought to himself.

[color=#FF4500]"Well, ya know... when your sister decides she'd rather base jump than destroy the competition; I get kinda curious."[/color]

Hand slipping from where she'd had it resting over his shoulder; she fell rather quickly into step at his side. Arms swinging- swaying gently and in time with the back and forth motion of her hips. Her smirk only growing further as she watched him dodge the tree he'd been heading towards, [color=#FF4500]"And don't even think for one minute that I can't keep up with your ass. On the field, the obstacle course, in the forge, quest numbers, mind games; hell, even in Call of Duty. How many times do I have to school you before it finally sinks into that thick head of yours..? I'm just better than you. In every way."[/color]

Turning her head, even slightly, Ky shot a wink in his direction.

Brandon raised his hands up, shrugging his shoulders, [color=black][b]”Hey hey, I wasn’t saying anything about not being good. Was just making a jab at your lower altitude, sweetheart. No need to go for the kill shot every time.”[/b][/color] Bran shot a look at her, chuckling and shaking his head slightly.

[color=black][b]”Besides, you’re definitely not better than me at CoD. I’m the King, baby!”[/b][/color]

[color=#FF4500]"Oh, you're the King alright. A stubborn, angry little man who gets nothing of importance done."[/color] Stepping ahead of him, body turning to face his as she took to walking backwards in front of him, Ky's arms swung back. Hands clasping behind her as she leant forward. Her tongue slipping out from between her bright red lips; another wink was shared between them before she twisted back around. Now choosing to openly walk ahead of him instead, [color=#FF4500]"Queens are the real power behind a Kingdom."[/color]

Brandon had to momentarily stop to allow her ahead, his smirk growing wider. He couldn’t help but giving the girl a once... no, a twice over, now that she was straight in front of him, his eyes lingering in different areas of Ky’ vie’s body.

[color=black][b]”Mm.. not a huge fan of speed bumps in my path, [i]Princess[/i].”[/b][/color] Ky’ vie sticking her tongue out at him made him laugh, shaking his head as he spoke in a low voice, only loud enough for her to hear. [color=black][b]”Best keep that tongue in your mouth.. next time I see it, I’ll bite it.”[/b][/color] His eyes fell down to her butt as she walked in front of him, rolling his eyes at her words before he took some extended steps to walk right beside her again. The volume of his voice had returned to normal as he continued to go back and forth with Hephaestus’ daughter.

[color=black][b]”Mm, I don’t think so. Women didn’t even have any real power till the 20’s, sweetheart. Men held the power, as they should.”[/b][/color]

[color=#FF4500]"Oh, please..."[/color] Rolling her eyes, her head shaking, Ky' vie turned her head. Once more bringing her attention back to him, [color=#FF4500]"Men only [i]believe[/i] they're in charge. Take the words of Margaret Thatcher... [i]'In politics, if you want anything said, ask a man. If you want anything done, ask a woman.'[/i]. Men throughout history have just proven to be complete idiots. Over and over again. And, as usual, there is a great woman behind every idiot."[/color]

Chuckling softly, her eyes trained on his, she gave a light shrug of her shoulders, [color=#FF4500]"Helen of Troy... Cleopatra... Susan B. Anthony... Marie Curie... Elizabeth I... Joan of Arc... Florence Nightingale... Jane Austin- all [i]great[/i] women of history. Women who's power changed the world. And all before men thought they came up with the idea to [i]'give'[/i] women power. Seriously... we've always had it. We just let you believe you do; just to keep the peace..."[/color]

Brandon rolled his eyes and shook his head, listening to her go on about women of power. Of course he knew who they were, it was just funny to get Ky' vie Morgan going on a tangent. The boy stretched an arm above his head, the other covering a fake yawn. Dropping one arm, the other held up with his hand clapping his fingers together, the pads of his fingers giving her the encore she so clearly needed. [i]Blah blah blah.[/i]

The son of Ares gave a bit of a smirk, scrunching his nose at her. [color=black][b]"ANYWAYS.. where are you headed, beautiful?"[/b][/color]

Her features scrunching up, there was no hesitation as she brought her fist around. Connecting it with some force against his shoulder.

[color=#FF4500]"You're such an ass."[/color] Shaking her head, looking away from him, and for the first time, casting a glance around to see just where they were in relation to their respective cabins, Ky' vie allowed her arms to fall once more to her sides. Motioning lazily with one in the direction they were currently walking, [color=#FF4500]"This way, currently. But then, ultimately, still tryin' to decide. Depends, really..."[/color]

Bran laughed when she socked him, shoving her arm away as it retreated away from his own. He wouldn't let on to just how much force she had behind her blows. Not that the hit she just made on him had hurt at all, it was more of an annoyance than anything.. but he knew she could really pack a punch if she truly wanted to. He flashed her a cheeky grin.

[color=black][b]"That's my name, don't wear it out."[/b][/color]

Ky' vie pointed off ahead of them, and for whatever reason Bran followed it and rolled his eyes as she mentioned she was heading where he was. Corner eyeing her, [color=black][b]"Well I'm heading back to my place to take a shower. Gonna head to the Arena to train a little bit after... can't go lookin all gruff in front of the ladies on the first day of summer, you know?"[/b][/color] Bran stuck his tongue out, biting it as he winked at her playfully.

Sticking her neck out slightly, she nipped playfully in his direction, chuckling as she threw his words right back at him, [color=#FF4500]"Best keep that tongue in your mouth.. next time I see it, I’ll bite it."[/color]

Once more breaking ahead of him, stepping in front of him, this time however, Ky' vie came to a complete stop. Her hands reaching out and touch gentle despite the normal rough-housing that two got into every now and then, she took hold of his wrists. Her gaze flicking up to meet with his own, [color=#FF4500]"What if I told you... I had something better to offer..?"[/color] Biting down on her lower lip, head drawing to a tilt, she stepped closer to him. Her chest brushing up against his as she entwined their fingers; locking them together, [color=#FF4500]"Something... [i]fun[/i]... and that I know you're just going to love..."[/color]

The use of his own words against him had him grinning wide, shaking his head at her. His brow furrowed slightly when she stepped in front of him, nearly about to step around her to continue on his path until he felt her grab hold of his wrists. [i]He was trapped there.[/i] She was cute and all, and they had fun together, but seriously. He already had his day planned out. What did this girl want from him?

Her words caught his attention, raising an eyebrow with a bit of a head tilt. As she pushed closer, their chests brushing against one another, Bran took a glance down before returning his gaze to hers. Then the hand holding. [i]Ugh.[/i] He pushed through it, smirking at her. [color=black][b]"What could possibly be more fun than showing off in front of a bunch of girls.. hmm? Unless you mean [i]fun[/i], I highly doubt anything's gonna beat it, sweetheart."[/b][/color] While talking, Bran very casually pulled his hands away from hers, putting them instead on her upper arms, still holding her gaze.

His hands leaving hers; Ky didn't let it bother her as she instead brought her touch to his bare chest. Fingers curling teasingly over his skin, [color=#FF4500]"I've been workin' on somethin'... [i]very special[/i]... just for you..."[/color] She wasn't stupid. She knew how to play his little game... which buttons to press in order to get out of him exactly what she wanted. It was a hidden talent that not many in the camp had manage to obtain, let alone perfect. Gaze flicking down from his, it lingered a moment on his lips before she once more lifted her eyes to meet with his own, [color=#FF4500]"..if you're man enough... why don't you stop by my cabin an' see what I'm really capable of, baby..? I'm not holding back..."[/color]

Her hands on his chest excited him just a little, paired with her words. Something special.. just for him, huh? Okay, she definitely had his [i]full[/i] attention. He noticed her subtle glance at his lips, smiling a bit as he took a quick look at her own, watching her talk. 

[color=black][b]"Hoh hoh hoh. [i]'Man enough'[/i], huh? I see how it is."[/b][/color] His eyes flickered back up to her own, narrowing them at her playfully as he leaned in, brushing her hair back behind her ear so he could whisper into it, [color=black][b]"Better watch that tone of yours.. it's gonna get you into trouble, Princess,"[/b][/color] he spoke in almost a growl, nipping at her earlobe teasingly as he stepped around her, heading towards his cabin once more to go shower as he'd intended before.

The warmth of his breath flowing over her skin- his teeth grazing her earlobe... it sent a shiver down her spine, and she bit her lip. Her head turning, following his movement from over her shoulder as he brushed past her.

[color=#FF4500]"See you in ten... trouble."[/color]
