"that came from my mother's side. Told a million to survive."

Yet again. Another angry, pissy teen out into Ares cabin. What's new? They truly are his children.

Whatever abuse they left beforehand is probably worse in his cabin, he knows it, they know it. Hell, name one person who didn't.

...guess everything changed when you came.

Ares didn't know what to make of you. One of his kids, stopping an argument?.. weird.

How you smiled was so misplaced. How you clenched your fists and bit your tongue to stop yourself from lashing at people.. odd.

Or how every year, yes, admittedly he was watching and paying attention to you, how you always came in with injuries worse than ones you got on quests.

..what really bothered him was how you acted fine.

"..Moms new boyfriend?"

He asks you as he motioned to your bruised eye and the cut on your lip.

"She always did like morons."

He sighed as he walked over and sat on your bunk.. the bed dipping under his weight.

"...not in the mood for capture the flag?"
