[color=#4a766e]"Well, after a tornado separated me from Heath and Ethan, I ended up facing a giant. He was huge. I had to rely on my powers to knock him out. It was a close call, I am lucky he only broke my leg. I was bruised up as a result too. I was lucky that was the only thing I faced but I did see the fight with the dragon. I would have helped but I was too far away."[/color]

Lochlan waved the care away. She didn’t have to justify anything to him, add any righteousness or tell of some else's battle she idolized. In fact she could’ve said she watched the fight with a dragon and ate popcorn. But that was evidently nowhere in her nature. However, it was pretty cool to face a giant and live to tell the tale. Hard to imagine the smallest one in camp taking one on but cool. [color=8e0047]“That’s impressive. Did you only knock him out?”[/color] He had to push. Even Blair and him had to brutalize some beasts to save their own skin but more importantly was if Iliana was trying to protect her own conscience and reputation. Though standing before her now, lying was probably deemed bad and evil. But what if the most innocent of them all killed? That would be the juiciest vein of drama.

[color=#4a766e]"Yes, I will be going. Trying to socialize more. I'll never be like your sister, but I don't want to be a wallflower, especially now that I can talk again. Having my voice back means the world to me, I want to try to become someone to be proud of, rather than something else."[/color]

For that? She was mostly welcome. But for a fleeting second, she might’ve caught that Lochlan widened his eyes not realizing she had the, uh…pleasure to meet Blair or pair that they were siblings. They only shared a sperm donor after all and didn’t look much alike. But imagining Blair be pleasant and give Iliana the time of day was difficult. Maybe he could have fun with it. [color=8e0047]“Yeah...”[/color] he dragged on. [color=8e0047]“That girl that’s around me sometimes is actually just kinda obsessed with me.”[/color] Obviously there was Nick and her on the PA to counter. He nodded his head side to side. [color=8e0047]“She kinda drowns it out by using other bodies to keep her warm. It’s sad really.”[/color] Lochlan pouted towards the distance, as if the thought was a tear-jerker in the making. [color=8e0047]“I wish someone like you could talk some sense into her. Just give her better coping mechanisms you know? Tell her to move on properly.”[/color] Blair obsessed and getting recommended to change in any shape or form was hilarious. Usually Lochlan left her out of his trifling little games but he couldn’t help himself. It would only shift one girl’s opinion anyway.

He dared to ask about her voice and the wind came through attacking any trace of warmth. He pulled up his jacket and tucked his chin to his chest protecting from the extra burst of cold that quickly subsided.

[color=#4a766e]"Sorry, I still have issues controlling the weather."[/color] At her confession, Lochlan raised his chin. [i]Ah so that was her doing.[/i] [color=#4a766e]"I won't say much but my vocals got destroyed last year and it was only thanks to Apollo that I got them back. But even then, I wasn't able to talk due to what happened to me. It did a number on my emotional, physical, and mental health."[/color]

Now they were getting somewhere good. He wondered if he pushed, pushed to know all the dirty details if it would bring back some of that pain and trauma. Maybe she could be turned dark side just for a day. It obviously lived in her head enough since she had summoned her powers unwillingly at the innocent question. [color=8e0047]"I hope you’re not friends with many gods."[/color] He didn’t really want to fall under their wrath. After a beat, the more appropriate response appeared. [color=8e0047]"Sorry what you went through."[/color]

He shuddered. She had a relation with at least two gods but thankfully his actions could be played off as the cold in this weather. Maybe he had pushed enough for now. All in all it wasn’t a bad idea to get out of the cold either. His eyes set on her, a glint of annoyance shining through with his jaw set until he smiled. [color=8e0047]"Well I better leave you to your day. Make sure your protectors don’t see me hanging around you too much."[/color] Lochlan said, sounding amused. He gave her a small raise of his hand as a wave and retreated to his cabin where there was warmth, more predictable outcomes and thinking could be done.
