She had been on enough quests and whatnot with the legion to know to take advantage of opportunities for food when they came - particularly if the only other options were rations. The rations kept them alive, but they were patently [i]disgusting[/i] at times. They'd probably outlast the heat death of the universe, or even Jupiter himself. Janelle hadn't ordered much to eat, which concerned Nancy, but Nancy wasn't her mother. Until it became a problem for the quest, she wasn't going to say much. Nancy then moved off to the side, grabbing a table for them to sit at, as Janelle decided she was going to open up after all. [color=#9370DB]"Let's sit down here,"[/color] Nancy said, making sure to give Janelle that audio queue, as Nancy sat down at one of the inner seats, leaving an outer seat easily accessible for Janelle. She listened to Janelle's rant, as the girl explained everything that was bothering her in great detail, basically giving Nancy her life's story. Nancy actually rather prided herself on being able to read other people, to psychoanalyze them - sometimes with the efficiency of a student in their first psych class, finding every label in the book and applying it to their friends, but sometimes she hit the nail on the head. The outward problem seemed to be that Zeke had lied to her - which Nancy [i]was[/i] irked at him for. If Janelle's timeline was reliable, and she saw no reason why it wasn't, Zeke could've come clean with her when she first asked. Leading her on, even unintentionally, was cruel. If he wasn't ready to be out yet with Demi, then find another way to spare Janelle's feelings. Of course, Nancy also took issue with the fact that Janelle had a death wish on him - something that would [i]definitely[/i] tempt the Fates and maybe even Venus. It was dramatic, excessive, and cruel. Nancy kept going back to what Janelle had first said though - about the death of her parents, and feeling alone. It seemed like this was really about abandonment and trust. Nancy's guess was that this was just that fear making itself manifest, with Zeke's behavior not being the real issue, just something to lash out at. [color=#9370DB]"Okay, so that was hella uncool of him, grody to lie to you. Real butt-face behavior. I don't like you wishing death on him, because I'm going to be honest here, demigods are going to die. He might die. You might die. You don't want that on your conscience if it happens. And I think you're a better person than that, anyways."[/color] [color=#9370DB]"I obviously can't speak for him about what he did or why, but Janelle, sweetheart... Is this really about Zeke? Or is it more about you feeling abandoned and alone?"[/color][hr][hr][center][h3][color=a187be][b]🌈 Leda Storm 🌈[/b][/color][/h3][img]https://64.media.tumblr.com/97b8c553cbb195c7ea49cc44e8711ccc/tumblr_inline_p1oageaqHl1rifr4k_540.gif[/img][hr][b][color=a187be]Location:[/color][/b] Under the Sea [b][color=a187be]Skills:[/color][/b] Sword-Fighting[hr][hr][/center] Leda felt something hit her back and then grasp her hair, yanking on it. She reflexively bent backwards with a shriek, her hands going up as she grabbed at her head, trying to get her fingers around the hands of [i]whatever fucker[/i] had grabbed onto her. She couldn't get a good grip on it though, at least not before suddenly it had been knocked off of her, and her amazingly hot girlfriend pressed a kiss to her cheek. [color=a187be]"I could've handled that!"[/color] Leda protested with a wink. She then took off at a run, spotting that merpeople nearby were being menaced by more of the demons. She hacked and slashed her way through the enemies with her sword, turning combatant after combatant into monster dust that gently floated down to the ocean floor. By the time Leda took a breath and reassessed what was going on, she had taken out ten of them in total. But there were still more. The fight wasn't nearly over yet.
