caritas et odium

*Rubs his hand over his temple*

…eehh… My beauty is natural, like the inability to cook.

Is that an actual Venus flaw? Isn’t there like beauty is a with love prepared dish?

Not really, I just can't make food. At all. It hates me.

*Rubs his hand over his temple*

You probably have a fashion sense, then. Or else they wouldn’t come to you.

Maybe. Don’t you with the Venus thing and all? 

...eehh... My beauty is natural, like the inability to cook.

*Rubs his hand over his temple*

Really? Why do they? My mum would be proud of you if she met you. Both of them.

I don’t know? Girls are crazy! 

You probably have a fashion sense, then. Or else they wouldn't come to you.

*Rubs his hand over his temple*

Wait, really? Why, that’s nice! You’re cool, Ordell. Really cool!

Yes… I’m not really into fashion. Although people keep asking me for fashion advice. *Shakes head* Really annoying, but I don’t mind!

Really? Why do they? My mum would be proud of you if she met you. Both of them.

*Rubs his hand over his temple*

Oh! Not that mother, that’s for sure. It’s my adoptive mother. She’s um, a model.

Well I didn’t even know that, so my nice-ness is still sincere. 

Wait, really? Why, that's nice! You're cool, Ordell. Really cool!

*Rubs his hand over his temple*

-blushes- N-no. But people tend to only be nice to me because of my mom.

Well my grandmother was the only goddess to ever say something negative about Venus, she had squeaky sandals apparently. So you can be sure that if I’m nice it has nothing to do with your mother. *Smiles*

Oh! Not that mother, that's for sure. It's my adoptive mother. She's um, a model.

*Rubs his hand over his temple*

That some people can be rude deep down, even if they don’t show it at first.

*Frowns, pouting only ever so slightly* Why would you think I’m one of those people? Are you one of those “Guilty until proven innocent” people? 

-blushes- N-no. But people tend to only be nice to me because of my mom.

*Rubs his hand over his temple*

That’s not what I meant!

Then what did you mean? 

That some people can be rude deep down, even if they don't show it at first.

*Rubs his hand over his temple*

Nothing, but you could be rude!

Oh you mean because of my legacy? Well I’m actually adopted so I don’t have the rude flowing in my veins. *Shrugs* Everybody can be rude though. Even Venus kids! 

That's not what I meant!

*Rubs his hand over his temple*

Nice to meet you, Ordell! I guess… You can be rude.

*Frowns* Why? What did I say?

Nothing, but you could be rude!

*Rubs his hand over his temple*

Which is a shame, because I’m great! Hey there. I’m Felix!

*Grins* Hi I’m Ordell, legacy of Querella and member of the second cohort. 

Nice to meet you, Ordell! I guess... You can be rude.

*Rubs his hand over his temple*

I have no idea, to be honest. Sorry.

That’s okay. Camp is full of people! I don’t know half of them. Like I didn’t know you before. 

Which is a shame, because I'm great! Hey there. I'm Felix!

*Rubs his hand over his temple*

Gazela what?

No Gizela. She’s a legacy of Apollon and Bellona, from the first cohort. 

I have no idea, to be honest. Sorry.
