Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Oh that's alright." Ayame chirped. "I can sleep on the floor." Her face fell slightly. "Oh, so you mean...people usually aren't claimed?"

"Duh." Sho said, playing slightly with his hair, a sign that he was feeling uncomfortable and awkward. "The Gods don't care about us; obviously. We're nothing more than sex toys to them." He sneered slightly in Ayame's direction. "You really think that they would care enough about us to claim us?"

Ayame sighed softly, and shook her head. "I guess not." She said quietly.

Ayame's eyes were wide. "But you said 'some of the betters ones claim'. Does that mean that not all the Gods or Goddess do?" Ayame's face was oddly child-like, and she looked very frail in the pale moonlight.

Sho's face was very cold and very hard as he stared at Myka. "So...you mean that we might go through our entire lives without ever knowing who our God parents was?" He asked as he stood very still, in an almost shocked sort of way.

Ayame closed her eyes. "I see." She replied faintly, then smiled weakly. "Well Myka, I'd be very grateful if you could show myself and Sho to the Hermes Cabin. It's been a tiring day for all of us, and I think we would all like to get some rest." She then shrugged. "Of course, I am just speaking from the way I feel. I do not know how everyone else feels."

Sho had been watching Ayame with an odd expression, but he shook his head, and seemed to snap out of it. "Yeah, I'm a bit tired as well." He said, trying not to look like this particular bit of unpleasant news about the Gods and their children didn't bother him in the least, even though it did.

"Wait, hang on a second." Sho said, holding up a hand, still looking at Ayame. "Myka, can you hang on a minute? I have to talk to Ayame for a second." Without waiting for an answer, Sho yanked on Ayame's arm, and dragged her into the shadows a few feet away. Once they were far enough away from Myka, he turned to Ayame. "Okay, enough is enough." He snarled at her, his eyes flashing angrily in the darkness. "What the hell are you doing Ayame? What is with this pathetic act you're putting on? I've never seen you act like this before, and it's not fooling me in the slightest. You mind telling me what it's all about?"

"Keep your voice down!" Ayame hissed, looking both annoyed and scared. "You know d@mn well what this is all about? Are you so stupid that you can't remember what I said less than five minutes ago?"

Sho looked livid.

"Oh, no, it's fine." Ayame said, quickly putting a smile in place. Not wanting to talk to Sho, she stepped away from him. "I'm Ayame. Who are you?"

Sho opened his mouth as if to say something, then closed it again. "Ayame!" He snarled. "Don't ignore me!"

Ayame hide a smile behind her hand. "What's wrong?" She asked, but Sho interrupted them both.

"Nice to meet you." He growled at Logan, already tugging Ayame away from Logan. "But he have other things that demand our attention, and they aren't you."

"Sho!" Ayame snapped, her act starting to fall away and her true temper starting to surface. "Let go of me me, and stop being an @$$hole!"

"Don't start." Ayame said tiredly. "Sho, I'll talk to you later. Just go with Myka to the Cabin. We can talk to later. Okay?" Her voice was steady and even, but her eyes were silently begging him to go.

Sho sighed, and gave up. "Okay, Ayame, we can talk later." His eyes were hard as he looked at her. "But you're not worming your way out of this one." He turned and walked back to Myka.

Ayame sighed, and shook her head. "Sorry about him." She said, turning to Logan. "Sho can be a little...demanding sometimes." Ayame cocked her head as she glanced at Logan out of the corner of her eye. She was sick of having to act innocent and frail, but she was afraid that the real Ayame might burn too brightly for him to take.

Ayame raised an eyebrow at Logan, her true nature starting to break through. "Not much. I'm just stuck here with a flaming red-head who has a personality EXACTLY like mine own, so if I want to maintain ANY sanity, I have to pretend to be someone I'm not, and an emo, demanding, jerk who is the only friend I've yet to make here. I hate it at this Camp, and I've just found out that the chances of me being claimed are slim to none. But other than that, everything has been going just great." Ayame said both sarcastically and bitterly. "Yourself?"
