Welcome to Gaia! ::

yeah, I posted already.

Eric sighed as he looked around the lake, resting his arm on his katana's sheath as he looked at the water before Ron entered. "Huh, didn't expect anyone else here." Ron spoke as he sat down in his usual spot at the lake, collecting his thoughts.

"And I didn't expect another person who would want to be here for just thinking." Eric spoke, giving his care free look while analyzing Ron. 'He doesn't act it, but his eyes says he's stressed over something, along with his posture being of a better look.' Eric thought, looking at Ron with curiosity as the water in the lake rippled from the occasional fish. "Eric, son of Athena and aspiring court jester."

"Those still exist?" Ron asked as he looked over at Eric before laughing. He then looked over at the lake, analyzing the fish. "Ron, son of Ares, so you can make your own guess with me."

"Well then if I was part of our society of demigods, then I would call you a war loving psychopath." Eric said, making Ron look over at him while Eric took his turn to look at the lake. "But your posture, attitude and otherwise make you seem to be thinking rather well, so you can hide the act of being care free."

"Well then you can do the same." Ron spoke as his face changed solum, Eric's changing more serious as they both looked at the lake. "Sort of tired of the idiocy of people thinking I don't think before fighting, especially when it was to snap a person back onto a path they can survive."

"That's just what society does, stereotypes a group because of something most of them do." Eric spoke as he finished counting out the fish, his mind now going through various ways that something could happen as they were speaking. "That's why I choose to not care what people think, and go around causing random shenanigans just to make people laugh."

"But what if they're people who knew you could think far better than what your stereotypical child of Ares does, or at least heard it happen while you were in a conversation with them?" Ron asked as he leaned back on the ground, his gaze now towards the sky. "I've been through so much recently, and no one even realizes the effects of what happened."

"People tend not to think through these things." Eric spoke, his care free look back. He then stood up before he walked to the edge of the lake, kneeling down and putting his hand in the water. "You grow stronger through the hardships you encounter, and if people would choose to not see what you're going through, then it's their fault, and they'll either realize it or just ignore it. Either way, you're the better man if you don't grow angry from it and decide other things."

"And that's where I think I screwed up, but oh well, I'll just change my communication restriction to two weeks." Ron spoke as he looked over at Eric. "You're making more sense than one child of Athena I know."

"That's because I took my time studying the greatest military generals and had some good role models for this, and I learned when force is necessary and when it isn't." Eric spoke as he stood back up and walked to one of the trails leading into the forest. "Well, let's see if I can cause the shenanigans I want to."

"Good luck." Ron spoke as Eric left before he went into a sitting position and closed his eyes. 'I really did go too far with how I was pointing out their mistakes, and my anger got the best of me for speaking about it in the Infirmary.' Ron thought to himself as he closed his hands and put them on his legs as he went into a meditative trance, the field his four selves originally stood in his mind now around him. 'They still need to be told what they've done wrong, but that will only work when they aren't mad and ignorant with what I was talking about, and the same goes with how my mind is, even if I was still in the right.'

Eric looked at the girl confused, now a good thirty feet away from Ron and walking in the opposite direction. "we actually just finished talking a good minute ago." Eric said as he looked at the girl, already analyzing the situation. 'She's a child of Athena, that much I can tell, and she's looking like she wants to get Ron's attention, so she's probably the same person he was talking about.' Eric thought to himself before he continued speaking. "We were also talking about the way society acts towards certain groups."

"In other words, you didn't miss anything." Ron spoke as he looked over at them smirking before he got up. "Then again, it did lead to some pretty good realizations and understandings in the subject, and what to do for them."

"I never said I was going to ignore you people, I only said I wasn't going to talk to you." Ron spoke as he looked at her smirking. "And you can just say Son of Ares since we're all demi-gods, so it's not really that much of a difference. As for the problems, I'll just let yours slide, but Willow and Ikari will have to listen to a lecture as to why their interventions caused the most problems, though the only person it really harmed was me and my wounds prior."

"And I'll just wander around aimlessly, may stumble upon the place while I'm at it." Eric spoke as he turned and started walking into the forest, smiling as he started to disappear into the trees before he turned back to them. "Just be sure to have some food when I get there."

"Well that parts true, given the history of how I gained my split personalities and what the price has been because of it." Ron spoke as he started going through his memories again, finishing up the order they were all supposed to be in. "Four different perspectives on six years of life, all mashed inside my head and giving me some rather good intel on the subject. Rather fun if you ask me, even if it took six years out of my own life."

"Eh, might as well, it's not like I have anything better to do." Ron spoke as he at Alexa smiling. "I'm good and done with my thinking for today and would've probably wander around afterwards if the option wasn't given. Besides, free food is one of the few things I gladly go to."

America was under the lake looking for shells, very pretty shells. Finally she got bored and swam towards the surface, tossing a pouch onto the sand not far from where Alexa was standing. She came up grinning, happy to see that her quest was successful and climbed out of the lake. "Hey Alexa!" she called as she picked up her pouch and headed to her friend.

Ameria caught up to her friend, excited and thrilled. " What's going on at the beach?" She asked as she sifted through the bag and pulled out a pale pink conch shell handing it to Alexa. " Here Alexa, you can have this shell. It reminds me of you." She handed Alexa the shell, then pulled her blue hair to the side and fishtailed it, tying it off with some hemp cord that she had hand made.
