There was something weirdly calming about being assigned to solo quests. In theory, there should be more risks when dealing with these matters on his own, but the fact that Everest had control on how to handle the mission gave him the confidence that he yearned.

This time, it was a recon mission. Keep track of an ancient necklace being put on display at a gala. Simple enough.

When Everest arrived, there was no doubt in anyone's mind that he was in his element. He moved amongst the crowd with ease. His charming smile created paths for him to move but also create useful cover by having people flock around him. Everything was going smoothly, Ev had his eyes on the old pendant, and thought he had control of the situation. At least, that was until he saw a vaguely familiar face.

At first, the Everest thought he just recognized him through some article or some other type of media publication, as many of the guests here were well-known figures. However, with his gaze remaining on this mysterious figure for another split moment, Everest finally realized where the hell he had seen him. Ev has seen this person at fucking camp.

The man's eyes widened just barely, trying to keep his composure in front of all of these people, but he was still annoyed by the fact. A warm facade was on display as he spoke sweet words to the crowd around him, all while Everest cursed up a storm in his head. 'Why the hell is he here?' He thought to himself. 'Maybe if I stay over here, he won't notice me and everything continues according to plan.'

"Oh, come on," Leonardo huffed out as he was climbing up the steep path. "You said you were brave enough to do it. Trust me, it's going to be worth it." Before his little hike, the son of Asteria was swimming around the mirror-like lake when he encountered another demigod. Truthfully, he didn't remember how the conversation led to this point, just that Leo managed to rile the stranger enough to follow him up the cliff. "You're not scared, are you?"

"So, what did you think?"

It had been a few days since a small group of godlings had traveled to the kingdom of candyland - or, at least, that's what Matai was calling it - to save the goddess Hedona from Glycera and so it had been enough time to process everything they saw there. From the gingerbread men baking their own son, to the amount of dessert monsters to the various powers being used to meeting an actual goddess... It was definitely a lot to wrap your mind around, even if someone that had been around awhile.

And they happened to have three people with them that were relatively new to their world.

He had spoken to Naden a couple of times, the son of Hestia having arrived right before their powers got absolutely swapped around, but this was the first quest that he had gone - at least, as far as Matai was aware of.

"I bet you didn't think you'd wind up meeting an actual goddess because honestly? Neither had I."

The son of Hephaestus had been curious when he had heard that there was a new son of Hestia, and though he was skeptical about anyone taking Gabriel's place... He knew that getting to know the new guy would be good. Or, at least, to try and get closer to him to make him feel welcomed to the camp. Of course, when he came to camp, it was definitely an interesting time given the fact that he had arrived right before the Gods decided to swap around their powers.

Now that Matai had his fire again, he decided to seek out the other child of flames and when he found him, he offered a friendly smile. "Hey, how are you holding up? Feeling as hot as ever?" he asked, teasing lightly as he moved to pat his shoulder. "Last time we talked, I know you were still getting your mind wrapped around being the son of Hestia despite having water powers, but everything should be in order now, right?"
