Leo

“Well I’m very sorry about that.” He ran his fingers across the other’s palm slowly and tilted his head. “Hm… Well I love the scent of lilac. So I suppose that would be a pretty good answer to your question.”

“Cool” Leo smiled a bit and stretched out “Wanna do something a bit..naughtier?”

Drakon was walking around the slave cages looking at how they live, more curious than concerned. He sighed as some of his favorite where already out from the night and other’s looked too upset or frail to even think about doing what he wanted to do. He was about to leave when he heard the voice call out to him. 

Leo smirked when he saw the other man. He certainly wasn’t bad looking, and he had a feeling that this person would effectively be able to make him scream, which was something that was hard to do. Leo was the son of a death god. It took a lot to make him actually hurt.

“That’s a good lesson to learn.” He smiled at the other and tilted his head. “What were you trying to do? Or were you just experimenting?” He nodded slightly and pursed his lips. “Well… then I don’t mind you calling me it.” Zach wasn’t sure how to be a master, but he figured being called one was the first step.

Leo shrugged “I suppose it’s a calming lesson,” He sighed softly “I was just trying to see if I even could use my powers over darkness. Doesn’t seem like it’s possible,” He mumbled, before looking up at Zachary. “Noted, master,” Zach winked and leaned against him. “Which is your favorite flower?”

“Well I’m glad you feel that way. I know not everyone would.” He smiled softly and shrugged, shoving his hands into his pockets. “Well you said you wanted to see some magic. I’m happy to oblige.” He moved to sit down on a large rock, tilting his head slightly. “You don’t have to call me that.”

Leo shrugged “Well, my father always tried to teach me to make the best of any situation, and to adapt as necessary,” Leo said with a gentle tone. He tried to make some shadows wrap around his hand, but they flickered and faded away rather quickly “Seems I can’t use any magic here. Odd feeling,” Leo plopped down next to him “I don’t mind calling you it”

“Um… No. Well you’re more of a sex slave…” He gave an awkward smile to the other and moved closer, touching the flower and watching as it multiplied and turned into a small crown of flowers on Leo’s head. “I dunno. I’m happy to stay with you al day before forcing you back into your cage.”

“Sounds slightly better than having to clean the floors and windows,” Leo remarked, keeping calm on the outside, but he was pretty surprised, actually. He was snapped out of his thoughts when the flowers bloomed all around his head “Nifty trick you’ve got there,” Leo stretched a bit more before smiling “That’s very kind of you, master,” He smirked.

“This place is set up to keep you slaves alive.” He shrugged slightly and smiled at the other. “Oh? I’m surprised you think witches are cool. I mean compared to you and your father I’m just boring old me.” He laughed and smiled at the other. “Hm… I suppose I can keep you out for as long as I want.”

Leo nodded “Well, I suppose that’s a good thing yet. Though what exactly are our duties as slaves? Like cleaning or something?” He asked softly and looked up at him. “Witches are cool. Then again, I like hearing about anyone whose supernatural, makes me feel like less of a freak,” Leo laughed and plucked a flower. “And how long do you want me for?” He asked while putting the flower behind his ear.

“Oh? Well I’m very happy you can continue your habits. “He nodded slightly. “Well your life span and endurance should remain. Passive abilities aren’t effected nearly as much. And being out of your cage should help as well.” Zach nodded slightly, smiling at the other. “I’m a witch. So… that comes with a variety of powers.”

Leo nodded “I would hope that being in here wouldn’t kill me,” He said with a slight chuckle. He didn’t fear death that much, as he knew his father would ferry him to the Underworld. “A witch? That’s pretty awesome. Would love to see some magic sometime” He said softly and bumped Zachary’s hips a bit playfully. “How long can I be out of my cage?”

Zach nodded slightly and listened to the other as he looked around the scene with awe. “Oh? A habit huh? Well I hope being here doesn’t ruin that for you.” he looked over at the other and smiled. “What kinda powers do you have normally?”

“I hope that too, but I’ve seen quite a fair amount of handsome men here, so I don’t think that I’ll grow bored,” Leo chuckled and shrugged “Normally I can talk to ghosts, have an increased life span and endurance, can somewhat manipulate shadows, that kind of stuff.” He smiled as he saw some wildflowers “What about you, what do you like to do? And do you have powers?”

Zach lead the boy to the indoor arboretum. “Nature is very lovely. I’ve always enjoyed taking my time and just… thinking.” He shrugged easily. “So… tell me about yourself. What exactly do you normally do in your free time? I mean… if you weren’t stuck around here.”

Leo looked around the arboretum, taking the whole scene in before looking back to Zach. “In my freetime I’m usually studying, or helping my dad with funeral rites, but I also quite love baking and reading comic books. I’m somewhat a nerd,” He admitted with a laugh “I also have a habit for handsome men”

“That of a fallen angel. A very powerful one at that.” He smile softy and licked over his lips slowly. “How about we walk for now. There’s an arboretum. Full of trees and flowers and such. How would you like to go there?” He tilted his head, looking over at Leo.

Leo nodded “Sounds like a scary guy that I would not want to cross,” He chuckled, his smile only growing wider. “Sure! I love nature, always so serene and calm,” He mused and squeezed his hand slightly. “Plus, it’d be a much better scene than the cells” Leo added and winked to him.

“The cages stop your powers from allowing you to escape. I mean so does the manor and town, but it’s just another level of security, you know?” He smiled at the other softly and shrugged. “I’m just trying to make this as painless as possible, you know? I mean… I realize just how much it must suck for you.”

Leo nodded “I noticed that my powers didn’t work. How odd. I wonder what kind of magic nulls it.” He hummed out and continued to walk. “It does kind of suck, but it is a new experience though. And as long as I don’t end up dead, it can’t be too bad,” Leo eyed him curiously “But what kinds of things will we be doing?”

He shook his head, “not specifically, but I could be. I was sorta just saying that I was bored, but I guess that’s to be expected when your only source of entertainment are conversations. Not that conversations are boring, I’m just not used to only being able to converse for entertainment. I miss music and stuff. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of that around here at this point in time. 

Leo nodded and sighed softly “It is quite boring in here. But my father always talked about trying to remain calm and poised in every situation, even if it is a bit scary,” He looked over the other boy and sighed “I can’t even use my powers in here, which makes me even more scared. Are you um, a demigod too like me?” He sat down and sighed again.

“Anubis… that’s pretty impressive. I’ve heard of him.” He licked over his lips and slipped his arm around the other’s waist, helping to support him. “Yeah… the cages are less than amazing. But at least we can let you all out tot walk around whenever we have time.” He chuckled softly and smile at the boy.

Leo blushed slightly when he felt Zach’s arm around his waist, not minding it in the slightest. “Thanks, yeah, my dad is pretty well known, but also pretty strict” He sighed before changing the subject  “I wonder why we’re even kept in the cages? I mean...you seem too nice to be some kind of kidnapper or something,” He mused and began to walk, keeping close to Zachary.

“Wow… that’s rather impressive. You must be a demi-god then?” He smiled and opened the cage door, holding out his hand. “You won’t be able to leave the manor… but how about we take a walk. Might do you good to stretch your legs.”

Leo nodded “My father is Anubis. I wonder what he thinks about all of this,” He chuckled to himself and took Zach’s hand. “It would do me a world of good. Can’t really bend much in there,” He stretched out his leg before leaning against Zach a bit. “Thanks for letting me out,” He chimed out.
