Stella, leaning up against the tree with her arms now folded across her chest again, watched the exchange with an air of indifference. The guy was only looking to stir up a bit of chaos or funny reactions, probably not to fight them; he wouldn't have stood a chance with both Gina and Stella out to take him down here in the woods at night. They could probably butcher him and leave him here as hellhound or hydra feed, but that'd be no fun. Maybe hang up his corpse on his cabin roof, if they found out who his god parent was -- that would give Chiron and his cabinmates a nice surprise in the morning.
Stella half-shrugged, drumming her fingers on her bicep. The guy was going to get a butt-whooping from Gina, if she didn't calm down right now so that they could maybe extract some "vital" information from him. God parent and name would be nice first; that would let them know which cabin to tie his body to, if it came to that. "Now now, Gina, all bulbs are bright in their own special ways until they're smashed to bits. Let's give him the benefit of a doubt right now." Then, turning her gaze to the boy with a sarcastic half-smile, she continued: "Why somebody would look for reactions from two people in the woods at night of all times is beyond me. I mean, there are a lot bigger threats from the forest at night than other demigods -- say, hellhounds twice your size or even the occasional giant scorpion. If you want funny reactions go for the Athena kids when you shoot tarantulas in through their cabin window, I've seen more crying there than you would at a funeral."
Stella, in her more placid and non-murderous moments, had taken to simply messing with other cabins in her spare time. Replacing the Athena cabin's books with Dr. Seuss and Amelia Bedelia books, taking some of the Ares kids' weapons and sticking them in their cabin roof, and other little pranks that Stella would call simply child's play -- she had a bit of fun watching their reactions, but it was nothing compared to the feeling of killing somebody and watching people's reactions when the body was found, whether it be strung up across a bulletin board in the cabin courtyard or hidden behind some bushes by the creek.
