temper us in the fire

“Is this yours?” Vienna asked, holding the item up awkwardly to the other. It was definitely too clunky to be a weapon. “I found it by the beach. What the hell is it even supposed to be?”

“Panicking is not the way to be handling this situation. It only makes it all worse.”

“What is with all the yelling?” Noah asked, approaching the other, “Seriously, is there any need.”

“People are panicking,” Andie observed, sipping her coffee. “Clearly they need to get it out of their systems.”

“And you didn’t think to maybe ask which bunk was hers before snooping in somebody else’s?”

“I can’t tell if what you’ve just said is brilliant or crazy.” Alec commented, brow furrowing as he tried to comprehend just what came from the other mouth, “And that’s saying something coming from me… like, fuck- where did you even come up with that?”

"Brilliant and innovative are the words you’re looking for, Blackthorn.”

“Hm, right…” She paused, “I’ll be honest, I don’t think you know what the laws of physics are.” 

"There is also a difference between thinking and knowing. Maybe you should ask for a dictionary and a thesaurus for your birthday and leave science to those who understand it? Just a friendly suggestion.”

Alaric glared at the other, she was right, she currently had the upper hand but he blamed it on the fact that the majority of the people here had some sort of superpowers and he was just- ordinary. “Until we reach to seven? Gives me a chance to get the upper hand again.” He commented, pointing his own sword back at her.

"That sounds like a fair request. Even though you’re going to lose,” Andie said with a shrug.

“You bias against rain or something?” He raised an eyebrow at her, “I mean it’s good for training, it’s not always going to be sunshine out. Everyone should get used to different climates.”

"When it’s time for rain, it will rain. I don’t see why the rest of us has to suffer because you have a whimsical wish,” she pointed out. 

“To Chiron,” Kendall replied. “Was that now who we were meant to submit it to?”

"Astoria said he only gave her two,” Andie narrowed her eyes. “It’s not like him to lose things...”

“Uh, what do you suggest, especially ones that won’t melt on top of the hole?”

“There should be something on the pile there,” Andie waved towards the corner behind her.

         “  i  fear  what  happens  when  he  has  to  face  the  very  real,  enormous,  couldn’t  be  more  ugly  monsters  outside.  fingers  crossed  he’s  ready  by  then.  ”

“Project?” she squinted as if sifting through files in her brain. “Oh! I submitted that end of last week. Wait– why haven’t you yet?”

“I’m hot and I like storms?” That was basically all the reason he needed or had. “You might be made for the heat but I’m not. LA can be hell you can imagine.”

"You could just take a shower like any other person? Or go swim in the lake?” She raised an eyebrow, not impressed by his reasoning.

Wiping the sweat off of his forehead Kyle let out a loud laugh as he looked up at the sky. “Should I make it rain?” It was kind of hot, especially after he’d been training. 

“And the reason for making us all wet would be?” She raised an eyebrow at the blonde.

“Please, entertain me.” Emma spoke, looking at the person standing across from her, “How in the world did you manage to do that?”
