Welcome to Gaia! ::

A day had gone by and Heie began to heal with a bit of nectar and ambrosia. Enough to help him heal but not enough to burn him inside out. He thought about Reece a lot during that time, and thought about what he'd tell her, What kind of apology he would muster up. He did just up and leave her without an explanation and without even saying bye, Afert all that talk about being her friend.

He thought to go to her home and see if she would even talk to him, a long shot but he'd be a coward not to. Finally arriving he looked around a bit, And of course he got some nasty looks, Being a Roman wasn't in style in a all Greek area. He looked to a huge house and thought, That's got to be where the princess is staying. I can't Imagine Jupiter letting his little girl live in a lesser place. Coming to the front door two guys stood in his path. They would seem to be normal campers, But ones with obvious disapproval of Roman visitors.


Now what would a roman dog be doing in a place like the Grecian homes? says the the first Greek boy Not just the Grecian homes, but to see Caprice! You'd better turn away now or get beaten in the street like the mutt you are says the second. Before Heie could even reply, One of the men slapped him in the face and kicked him down into the dirt That's right, Crawl around on your hands and knee's that that whore mother of your's who chose to lay with that cowardly Roman aspect of a god you call a father How they knew Heie's father was the god and not his mother was beyond him, But on that day, Heie experienced an anger of the likes he's never felt before

Reece had shown up in a nick of time, Heie was far to embarrassed to look her directly in the eyes. To be tumbled by a couple bullies and not defend his parents honor crushed Heie's pride deeply. perhaps he could have done some minor act of violence against them, But it would be looked upon as a foul act and probably misunderstood by both Roman and Greek overseer's. Heie had no choice but to hold his tongue and his anger towards them. T..Thank you, I apologize, That whole mess was my fault. These guys were only... Heie didn't know what else to say after that. His anger and shame now showing on his face as slight tears of frustration fell from his eyes.

He quickly turned his back to her as he saw his tears splashing against the ground. Without saying a word Heie started to walk off with his head held down in shame after showing such a weak display of pride and honor. He thought that there was no way that Reece would want to befriend a weakling like him that even she herself had to protect. Perhaps that in some ways delivered a powerful blow to him as well.

Heie smiled slightly at her kindness. He stilled owed reece an explanation and an apology for ditching her the other day.Wiping away his tears Heie stood to speak with her. Umm....Reece, Thank you for all of your help and kindness. Those guys really frustrated me, I wanted to hurt them badly, maybe that's what upset me the most. It hurts to know that not even Romans and Greeks can live in total peace as much alike as we are. More than that, The other day when we sensed the disturbance at the training field, It was that guy that we suspected. He was bulling a Roman and I tried to stop him, we got into a bad fight. He told me his name was Tekem, he showed no magical powers, but his physical strength is in a league of its own, Just look at these bruises He said as he lifted his shirt to show his damaged torso.

Heie went on to explain that he poses a huge threat to all campers, Just not Romans. He fixed his clothes and looked at the candy that she gave him, It made him smile a bit. He took the candy piece in his hand and opened it, Even though he didn't like sweets, He popped the candy into his mouth and looked up to her smiling. My main purpose for coming here was to apologize for leaving you so suddenly, I was just to ashamed to face you after losing to Tekem Even though it would have appeared to be a draw, Tekem was still standing and called it quits after Heie was no longer able to fight

Heie didn't know what to say when he saw her click the music on and started moving about, He had only hoped that she didn't ask him to join in, But sure enough she did. Heie couldn't refuse her after being drawn in by her sweet smile.
Umm...L...like...like this? He said as he got up and made a fool out of himself as he started to lightly wiggle his hips and his arms around in the air and hold a blank look on his face while looking over to Reece.

Heie continued dancing in his own way thinking that he must have been doing something right even though he looked pretty stupid. He didn't mind, It made her laugh and really did distract him from his problems and his wounds. He figured he could keep this up for a few more minutes just to let the time pass him by.

Heie stopped and nodded saying "Yes, a lot, Thank you".He found himself smiling , couple with red cheeks from blushing as he thought about what he had done. He knew he wasn't a great dancer But he was willing to work on that, Maybe Reece would even teach him.
This trip started out bad, But things had gotten better already.

"Hey Reece? does that smile mean you forgive me? That would make me really happy". He said looking at her with a hopeful smile.
He lifted his arms and stretched and then gave her a real, Happy smile, Putting his hand behind his back and making a flower out of ice and handing it to her."For you " He said blushing again. Obviously he had been practicing a bit

Heie blushed once more at her noticing that he had blushed in the first place, but this one was coupled with a smile. Handing her the Ice lily, He explained to her how he knew she liked them. It's pretty simply actually, Back in the center, when we went to swim. I noticed you staring at the single lily instead of the entire bunch of beautiful flowers that surrounded it. From that I figured you held the lily dear....so I...so I thought it would make a nice gift, I...would have picked it, but im against picking flowers. To pull them from there roots is like taking air away from us humans, So I spent sometime at the rec practicing how to make that exact lily while I was away.

Heie smiled big at his explanation and hoped she would accept it. The flower would last as long as Heie was alive thanks to the full weeks worth of his Magic that he stored and poured into it.

In excitement of going into the big city, Heie's face lit up with a wonderful smile. He really wanted a slice of the amazing pizza and other foods they have to serve there. Yeah Yeah! Lets go to New york! He said as she kinda just dragged him along. She was really excited about this to obviously. Why shouldn't she be? This place could get kinda cramped up and boring at times. a part of ones training is also good rest and fun, Heie said to himself as he smiled brightly
