The initial shock and anger of the news was settleing in. The few people that remained by the pavillion and stands were talking amongst themselves in hushed tones. It seemed like Erin was going to be the talk of the camp for the whole week, and possibly the rest of the year. Carlos watched Valeria practically storm away from crowd in the same direction the angry Ares guy had gone. "[color=7F6B5D]You are right. Valeria has some real balls.[/color]" Carlos turned to look at Elias. "[color=7F6B5D]All of this crazy makes me think that we are background characters, you get me?[/color]" Elias had been looking at Octavia as she left before turning his attention to Carlos. "[color=9D2B22]Not this again.[/color]" He groaned softly, letting his shoulders slump down now that the commotion around them had calmed down. Talon had run off, and Octavia hadn't gone after him. Elias had to say that went a lot better than expected. Seriously, Cabin Eight would be a warzone without him to mediate between all those angry and hormonal teens. "[color=9D2B22]I know what you are trying to do, Carlos.[/color]" Elias brought a hand up to rub the back of his neck. The stress of the whole situation was finally catching up to him. It wasn't fair. He shouldn't be the only one, besides perhaps Brandon, that wouldn't just charge at something just because he was angry. This fucking place needed a therapist. "[color=7F6B5D]No, hear me out, dude.[/color]" Carlos walked closer, a smile slipping on his lips. Ah, Elias, one of the few people in this shitty place he called a home that would hear out shenanigans. Sometimes he wondered what would have happened if the both of them had decided to stay together. But then again, the thought of kissing Elias didn't sit well with him. Maybe it was the accent. Or the hair. No, Elias was [i]too white[/i] for Carlos. "[color=7F6B5D]Think about it,[/color]" He motioned Elias to follow him as he circled the obstacle tower. His right hand rubbing his chin as he spoke. "[color=7F6B5D]Your dad is Ares, and yet you're the calmest of them all- sometimes- you don't have a love interest- and no, that guy Kyrin doesn't count.[/color]" Carlos stopped in his tracks to look at Elias. "[color=7F6B5D]Seriously, him? You know you could do so much better! I dunno, like Kalinda or Isaura! Or Even that Dorian guy! No, wait, he's kinda weird too.[/color]" The first time Elias told Carlos about that asshole that liked to ignore him and get his ass kicked, he wanted to slap some sense into Elias. "[color=9D2B22]I thought you were going to tell me how I am a background character and not how my taste in people is shitty.[/color]" Elias crossed his arms, arching an eyebrow at Carlos. "[color=9D2B22]Aw, don't tell me you are jealous. What? Miss me that much?[/color]" He laughed, leaning in closer to look at his former boyfriend closer. "[color=9D2B22]And here I thought you weren't the jealous type, Carlitos.[/color]" He wanted to laugh. Carlos was good, very good at distracting him and making him forget about everything else. He could already feel a lot better by just teasing the guy. "[color=7F6B5D]Dude, please, the one who is doing the missing is you.[/color]" Carlos rolled his eyes, pushing Elias's face away from him and walking past him and out of the pavilion. Despite the teasing, he was glad Elias looked a lot more relaxed now. Dealing with some angry siblings must be hard. Carlos couldn't even imagine it. He was glad that he was an only child, as far as he knew. Although, it must be nice to have other people to call family. Right now, all he had was his mother, Tyche, and even then, she didn't visit as often as she used to. It did get pretty lonely. "[color=7F6B5D]Anyways, like I was saying,[/color]" Carlos looked at Elias as they continued to walk. "[color=7F6B5D]You are the nice one from Cabin Eight and -[/color]" "[color=9D2B22]So you don't think Octavia is nice?[/color]" "[color=7F6B5D]I mean, I do but-[/color]" "[color=9D2B22]But means no. Maybe I should tell her.[/color]" "[color=7F6B5D]Oh, Gods no! She'll kick my ass![/color]" "[color=9D2B22]Uh huh.[/color]" Elias smirked, looking at Carlos now. "[color=9D2B22]You wanna keep going about the background character thing?[/color]" Elias wasn't bothered by it. He knew that the son of Tyche was only trying to distract him. It was working, but now it was backfiring against him. How unlucky. It had always been fun to mess with the guy as it was easy to talk to Carlos. He didn't have to try to be someone else or act tough. Elias just had to be Elias. He looked up as they were approaching the Big House. He could see quite a few people already gathered around there, trying to sneak a peek at the daughter of Hades. He saw just as Erin ran out of the building and straight into the boy named Dorian. He could see Kyrin there too, eyes trained of Erin as she ran away from the forming crowd outside the house. He didn't know her much. She had always given Elias the cold shoulder no matter how many times he talked to her. He didn't hold it against her. Elias didn't resent Erin or disliked her. It was like talking with Kyrin. Both of them had an air around them. Talking about Kyrin, he could see how worried he was. He knew that the son of Aphrodite was close to Erin. "[color=9D2B22]I'll catch you later, okay?[/color]" Elias glanced at Carlos before rushing over to the Big House. "[color=7F6B5D]What- Elias?![/color]" Carlos groaned, tempted to chase after him before he groaned loudly when he saw who he was trying to catch up to. Kyrin had already taken off after Erin, a lot slower than the rest. He could see that Kyrin was hesitant about chasing after the girl. He was always so jumpy around large crowds. Always looking over his shoulder and glaring at anyone that would even dare to look at him. Cold and calculating. Looking at him now, Carlos could see what Elias found curious about that asshole. "[color=7F6B5D]Idiot.[/color]" Carlos rolled his eyes and turned to head over to his cabin. [/color]
