A slow day at the beach

With a long day starting for Aaron. The sea boy had nothing planned, and the day was just getting started for him. The peaceful waves calmed Aaron's mind. Cleared it of all the things that happened on New Year's Day, and the following week. The sky was grey, and the sea was stirring more than usual. Waves crashed violently against the shore, occasionally splashing Aaron. For the past week, the kids of the Triton cabin followed him around much to his annoyance. They did it just to spite him. Although, he wa alone when he went hunting, which was good. He barely managed to escape from his life. Hellhounds swarm him. Oh well. The wind picked up as Aaron sat down, and looked out onto the grey horizon. It looked as though a storm was about to happen, but he didn't care. Laying back in the sand, Aaron stares at the sky. "Yep...Here it comes" Aaron says to himself as the rain began to pour. Even though it was raining, he wasn't motivated enough to get up. Slowly, rain washed over the young Demigod. Although this was relaxing, it was starting to get boring. Not just this, but his routine. Go about his day doing almost the same things, with the occasional deviation from the plan. Days went by like that, and it made Aaron feel like he was stick in a constant loop of time. It was boring trying to pretend to be excited and happy, but the truth was, that he was far from excited. He couldn't find the motivation to get up, so he just kept getting soaked. "Gods is my life boring..." He muttered. Thinking to himself, he has a sudden realization. "You're too young to be having an existential crisis!" He thinks. As Aaron laid there, he wished something exciting would come along. He wished something would change his life. For better, or worse.

Ooc: What is this something? Or can I just make it up?

OOC: You can make it up.

Looking up from where he was laying down staring at the sky, Aaron's attention turned from his existential crisis to a girl. Touching his neck, he felt for the necklace that would normally reside there. Then, spotting it in the girl's hand. "Yeah, thanks for finding it." A faint grin of gratitude on his face. His now soaked orange camp shirt and dark blue jeans made a shuffling sound as he got up from the spot where he laid. The necklace must have not been hooked on right. The rain began to let up, but it didn't stop. The now pouring rain subsided to a light drizzle. "Ew" he thought. The sound of his clothes was a sound he hated. It sounded like a dog scratching on a door, or something wooden. "Should I use my powers?" He asked himself under his breath.

Although he loved water, Aaron didn't like this feeling. "I'm Aaron, son of Triton." He says as she walks back to her horse. "This girl is kind of giving me the cold shoulder. I can feel the ice in the air....or maybe that's the rain." He says to himself. With that, Aaron used his powers to get the water out of his clothes. The water formed a ball hovering above his hand. The rain slowed a bit yet again, now to a light drizzle. "Thanks again. Since you're leaving, I guess I'll see you around camp, maybe." Knowing how big the camp was, it was almost impossible to run into someone unless it's planned. Aaron's orange shirt was slowly getting wet again, appearing dark with the water. Wind blowing caused a dark overcast in the sky. But, the same thing causing the overcast was causing the clouds to move fast, the sun shining bright through whatever cracks it could find.

"Well I like the water, and I have lessons, but blowing them off and goofing around is so much more satisfying, don't you think?" he asked. Aaron skipped lessons so, people called him a slacker, while others called him fun. "I think that just hanging out here is more peaceful than running around and swinging swords at each other..." He trails off.

Lakisha frowned disapprovingly.

"How grand it must be to have the luxury of not going to lessons that might save you out there," she frostily replied, cooling up again. "I admire your selflessness."

OOC: I'm sorry, but I had to quote Snape.

"I admire your....disapproval." Aaron says, almost as a question. "Well now I know why she was so cold. Khione kids are almost always like this. But you never know." He thinks. Aaron wasnt one to give in to the cabin stereotypes. Like Aphrodite kids being all makeup and no brains. But whatever. "Do you have any lessons to get to?" She obviously didn't want this to go on. He could see that. The cold, emotionless replies said it all.

"Aren't cabin leaders supposed to, I dunno....supervise? " Aaron asks. Lakisha seemed alright enough. Not too dangerous, but she seemed like someone he didn't want to cross. Aaron made a mental note of that. "The sea god cabin supervisor never let's us go anywhere by ourselves. So I assumed all cabin leaders were like that."

"I don't know. I tend to not stick around there too much. I train on my own terms." Aaron says slyly as he walks up to Lakisha. She seemeda little off, well, compared to who he met before. "You're different than the rest of your cabin. Different is good. I like different. You're cold, which is understandable, and that far away look you give me makes it seem like you don't wanna be here. Kinda hurts my feelings." He joked. Pacing around the sand, he grinned.

"It's cool ("ha, pun" he thought.) if you don't want to be here. I'm not forcing you to stay here. Sure I'm dragging the slowly dying conversation along, and it's cause you're interesting, but if you wanna leave just say so..."

Ooc: I was grounded! Sorry!

"I know Jea and Mia, that's about it. Never really got to get to know most of the Khione cabin. Guess you could say you guys always a little too cold." He says with a sarcastic grin on his face. Every time he met someone from that blasted cabin, other when he met Jea and Mia, they acted like Lakisha did or maybe even a little worse. "Mountains huh? Sounds fun. I can see the appeal if I were an ice demigod. Cold mountain tops, thin air. Just oodles of good times." A twinge of sarcasm hitting every word in that sentence.

Aaron had always been sarcastic, which was just one of the many perks about him. Another perk was being sarcastic. Did I mention he was great at being sarcastic? Whatever, Aaron, sat again in the sand, a few feet away from Lakisha and facing her.

"Glad see I'm original." He said with a sigh. Looking at her standing just made him uncomfortable. She seemed too....How could he put it? "Don't be so tense. C'mon, relax and sit down. It's not like I'll make a typhoon and throw you into the ocean...maybe."  Aaron says jokingly.

"I know you're on your horse, but you look tense. On your guard even. Don't be so alarmed. I'm pretty sure I couldn't if I wanted to..." he mutters that last sentence under his breath. That could be fun, ice vs. water that is. Who'd win? "Would it be a tie?" He thought. He'd been training forever so maybe he could take her. Take her? No, that sounded weird. Beating her up sounded bad, so how could he put it without sounding weird?

"Peasant?" Aaron thought as he got up. Her words almost ticked him off. "Oh get off your.... High horse. I could take you with an arm behind my back. " The grin back on his face. "Hey stupid, your fatal flaw is pride remember? Shut up me. You're gonna lose...SHUT UP!: Going back and forth with himself in his mind was something he did often. But Aaron couldn't help it. Whenever he made a stupid decision, or whenever he was completely alone, he did that. "I mean, we're on a beach, it's hot, so I might be at an advantage. Doesn't really seem fair now does it?:

"Are you implying you can?" He taunted. His voice sounded intense,serious, but playful too. To Aaron, it just made him feel cool (Which he almost never was.). It's not like he wanted to fight her....Okay, he totally did. Ice against water? The odds could turn in anyone's favor. An Athenian could see that. Hell, Aaron could see it, and trust me, he was nowhere near half of an Athenian. But he could at the very least hold his own. There was something about Lakisha that ticked him off, he couldn't put his finger on it, but he felt something. The feeling of an unknown annoyance. He liked it.
