"You're all flirty and sarcastic but when someone gets close and you start to have feelings you run away." She frowned at the sad realization, then grinned "Too bad I'm fast enough to catch you."
"Ahem same dad...meh you can't help who you fall for." She shrugged "You're obnoxious and a bit arrogant but you have your moments." She smiled at Sheike so sweetly even after what she had just said.
Gwen was going to tease him a bit more for good measure but didn't. "You're welcome Shrike." She hugged him wrapping her arms around his neck "I'm glad you finally wised up." Gwen rested her head on his shoulder. While they were a taboo among demigods she didn't care.
Shrike smiled genuinely, before accepting the hug and stroking her back. He looked at his ring happily, dreaming of the days he'd spend with no one to rely on, and how that with his new friends, they were now over.
"Yeah, half siblings or not, its still pretty nice feeling. Besides, the gods cant really chat about incest..."
Gwen started hysterically laughing "So true!" She laughed so hard she was practically crying. After a good couple of minutes she composed herself. "That was clever." Gwen kissed him before resuming their hug.
Gwen giggled "You know that's funny." She playfully shoved Shrike "Hey Shrike..." Gwen bit his lower lip then whispered in his ear "Catch me if you can." Before running back to her bunk.
