[indent][indent][indent][indent][justify][color=808080]Trinity didn’t look thrilled, especially compared to Wes. It came with the territory of dating someone like him, a child of Aphrodite. While she knew he was loyal to her, that didn’t stop other girls from having wandering eyes, mouths or hands. They had been lucky, so far, that Eve was really the only person who’s tried anything. But with the influx of new campers, he wasn’t surprised that she was a little more tense. Especially when he brought over one of said new girls with a near excessive amount of enthusiasm.

[color=66356a]"How ya doing, Rae?"[/color] Trin forced a tight lipped smile and offered her hand for a shake.

[color=3b9ae1]"Hi. Rae Kowalewski. And… uh, yeah. I’m here."[/color] Rae replied with a crooked smile and returned the handshake.

[color=66356a]"So, you’re here. What’s your specialty? ‘Nother kid of Ares, Eris maybe?"[/color]

Wes chuckled and gave Trinity a little nudge. [color=667c0c]"I convinced [i]her[/i] to get in trouble. I think I have a better chance at being one of Eris’s than she does."[/color]

[color=3b9ae1]"Oh. Uh. Fire powers. So….Hephaestus?"[/color] She shrugged. [color=3b9ae1]"He didn’t exactly give me a welcome packet when we met so…."[/color]

[color=667c0c]"Ah, shit!"[/color] Wes beamed with a cheesy smile. [color=667c0c]"You’ll like your brother. Duke’s a pretty chill dude."[/color]

He then sighed at her second comment, slipping his hand into his jean pocket. [color=667c0c]"They rarely do unless, you’re one of the [i]favorites[/i],"[/color] he said with an eye roll and sideways glance to Trinity. Favorites being the Valises, Astors and Iliana. The rest of them usually got around by the skin of their teeth, with help from other demigods or just dumb luck. He was especially knowledgeable when it came to the latter. 

[color=66356a]"But high school. That’s cool. Did he help you with Phys ed in turn? Train some muscle up or something?"[/color] Trinity asked like she hoped Rae got something out of their friendship, an exchange, rather than the simple fact they were friends. [color=66356a]"We can work on it."[/color]

[color=667c0c]"Trin…"[/color] Wes’s smile faltered slightly as he looked over at her. It didn’t cross his dense mind that introducing a High School friend to Trinity would ruffle her feathers. He should have known better. Like the way she told him to be less handsome earlier that morning. He couldn’t help the whole allure thing, she knew that. Most of his circle of friends since he got to camp [i]have[/i] been girls. He understood how difficult that would be… but she trusted him. Or he hoped she did. 

[color=3b9ae1]"Wes tried once. Dragged me to a track meet sophomore year. I tripped over my own shoelace and nearly concussed myself with a water bottle. So that was the end of that. I'm not exactly varsity material, obviously, but I'm pretty good at fixing and making things."[/color]

Wes laughed as the memory came flooding back like watching old home videos. How could he have forgotten that? He recalled having to keep Rae awake for hours by quizzing her with questions he [i]definitely[/i] didn’t know the answer to just so she wouldn’t fall asleep and possibly fall into a coma. [color=667c0c]"I forgot about that."[/color] He chuckled. [color=667c0c]"You had a goose egg on your head for like a month."[/color]

[color=3b9ae1]"Guess I'm more useful in a workshop than a sparring ring. But hey, we all have our specialties, right?"[/color]

His hand slipped from his pocket and waved her off casually. [color=667c0c]"I can’t fight for shit either. Well… I can throw a punch, but actual weapons and combat?"[/color] He shook his head. [color=667c0c]"Trinity keeps trying but I’m kind of useless,"[/color] Wes laughed and shrugged his shoulders. A comment like that should have carried more weight and self loathing, but he said it like it was a common known fact. 

Rae looked between the couple. [color=3b9ae1]"So, uh… who’s your divine sponsor?"[/color]

Wes snorted back a little laugh. [color=667c0c]"[i]‘Divine sponsor’[/i]? That’s a new one,"[/color] he teased. [color=667c0c]"Only demigods here… At least I think? I suppose there could be [i]sponsors[/i] now? Whatever the hell that would be."[/color] He shrugged his shoulders again. He didn’t have a clue what the hell a God sponsor would even be. But he also didn’t really know anything about Greek Mythology until he got to camp so he probably wasn’t the best person to ask. Rae should have known that.

[color=667c0c]"Trinity’s a daughter of Ares, if her muscles and fixation on physical education didn’t give that away,"[/color] he answered with a loving smile toward the blonde in question. Wes loved his badass warrior woman. The fact she could kick his ass was just a sexy bonus. [color=667c0c]"My mom’s Aphrodite. So I just, ya know, exist to be pretty or whatever."[/color] He flashed a less chipper, tight lipped smile. [color=667c0c]"Probably why you had a crush on me in the first place. The whole [i]allure[/i] thing is… [i]weird.[/i] I can’t really control it. So you could very well hate me, once you get used to it,"[/color] he teased. 

He rested his hand on his hip, still a bit stunned. [color=667c0c]"I can’t believe you’re here,"[/color] Wes reiterated and shook his head. [color=667c0c]"Small world."[/color] He laughed with a lopsided grin. 

After a moment or two of awkward silence, Wes finally noticed the suitcase Rae held up against her side. [color=667c0c]"Here, let me help you with that,"[/color] he offered. Before she could argue, he reached out and took the handle of the bag for her with a smile. [color=667c0c]"Did you need help finding a cabin? Or anything?"[/color][/color][/justify][/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent]
