felix wasn't sure if he should approach her at first, but decided that yes, he should & no, nobody should be alone after that holli had gone through. how much did she remember? what exactly happened? they got her out, they knew the why & the who, but.. he wasn't quite savvy with the details after all. not that it mattered - she was out, she was safe. they had her back now. "listen, we might be gods, but we're humans too. hell, even gods make mistakes." & he accepted the flask, taking a swift sip before handing it back & scrunching his nose as it traveled down his throat.

Alaric wasn't one to gloat even if the victory was pretty sweet. It felt more like good sporting banter as he patted Felix's shoulder once he was on the same ground as him. "Too bad. Because it looks like I may never find out then." He teased all in good fun. There was something he felt familiar with Felix. Like he was one of his comrades back in the academy or early military days. With his reassignment there were very little team missions on his roster. It was good to get a taste of that comradery again.

"ahaha, funny. i won't go easy on you next time, promise." he'd go all out if he had to, but he would carry home the crown next time. some more practice, some more prep & he was sure he could do it. he knew the other was strong, he'd seen it in the way he moved along the obstacle course, but that didn't mean felix wouldn't put in some extra hours to up his chances. using his wings.. didn't even cross his mind.

as it would appear, flying was a lot easier when he's on an actual plane with him as the pilot. ever since he arrived at camp, henry wanted nothing more than to master his innate divine powers and access them to their fullest potential. he got the hang of lifting heavy items and shooting bolts of lightning from his fingertips fairly quickly. however, he somehow couldn't figure out a way to remain afloat.

oh hey, he wasn't from here. he knew half the country's population thought the british accent hot, but felix ... found it cute. especially on a demigod who struggled to fly - it seemed. lucky coincidence he was around & not someone else who couldn't fly. he didn't have wings, so.. not nike's. he should know which others had the ability to fly, but other than the most obvious - zeus, felix didn't really know.

" I don't know, I might be quick enough to speed race you up there. " Kiara was fairly certain she wouldn't be fast enough, but it didn't mean she wasn't going to be willing to try. " Thanks, it's taken a bit but i'm pretty comfortable with my current abilities and skills, they all have pretty great synergy with one another. " Her focus was on growth, becoming strong enough to help with some of the pitfalls and challenges they faced as a collective unit.

"doubt it, but we can try some day. i promise next time you unpack the gorilla i won't back down." felix grinned & he meant it. he was always up for a challenge - always pushing himself. how could he grow as a person if he didn't push himself out of his comfort zone? competing with a girl with gorilla hands? definitely a challenge he was up for.

"yeah, it was too good. wish i had a picture to show you. i met the nicest butch lesbian stud siren you've ever seen. wild fuckin hot, hooked me up and expected nothing in return." she kissed gathered fingertips, accidently thinking too much about how perfect it really was and felt a shiver run down her spine. "well, probably not actually nice but she was to me. before we escaped." good times. speaking of, maybe it would be smart to avoid ariadne this week and not make anything weird. "oh, felix, you don't have to thank me!" she shook her head with an incredulous laugh. "that's what a team does. plenty of people have carried me on those off days we all have. and if i had just let her kill you, she would have simply killed me next before evas got there. we have to protect each other or none of us will survive."

"maybe i'll get to have some fun with sirens myself one day." seems like he'd missed a great time being away. he didn't regret leaving to live a mundane life - he'd enjoyed his work & being away from the chaos that is eoghan camp halfblood, but now he wondered if maybe he should've come back here instead .. after camp jupiter. hm. then again, sirens? probably not the best way to celebrate freedom. then again, holli's little story sounded pretty good.

Greyson ascended the wall wrapped in the form of his Vine!Panther, the creatures powerful form allowing for him to manoeuvre with feline grace and cunning as he climbed. It was always thrilling to use his powers and think of new ways to adapt them to aid in whatever challenge he was facing. When he felt the first change in the wall, Greyson leapt out, claws catching on the ledge but not quite enough to secure his footing. He reached for purchase on any surface as he seemed to fall, the Vine!Panther seeming to fall away from around him as Greyson's concentration slipped in his sudden descent. "Fuck!"

the wall was a challenge & not a small one at that. felix had climbed it more times than he could count since he first came to camp as a young boy. the shifts still surprised him sometimes, but he generally knew how to adapt faster than the average. he didn't expect the young demigod to climb all the way up on his first try, which was why he'd stuck somewhat close. so, when he slipped & fell, felix knew he could've let him fall & he'd be fine, but that wasn't the promise he made. so, he caught him without much effort, arms around his hips & holding him. "happens to the best of us." he gently descended until both their feet were on the ground again & then let go. "wanna try again now that you witnessed the first shift?"

the training grounds weren't felix's most frequented location, but sometimes - when the olympic wall was too crowded or he felt that itch to practice with his swords a little, he .. did peek his head in. with his short swords in a holster on his back, he was still debating what to train when a voice reached him. was he talking to him? looked like.
