Good thing no weapons allowed

Leandra sat on the edge of the lake, listening to the water move with the wind. She usually watched it, with Tiberia, kind of like meditating. Today, however, she wasn't interested in meditating. She wasn't sure if she was in a good mood or a bad mood. Sleep had eluded her for most of the night after her mother's gift had arrived.

The girl toyed with the plain backpack. She didn't see and offensive weapons on it. Nor did it turn into anything else. Tiberia was sitting beside her relaxing in the sun. "You know, it's really great to see mother show her affection somehow, but... You'd think these things would come with instructions. I can't imagine this is a plain mortal backpack." She said, grunting as she tried to figure out what to do with it. Maybe she could at least stuff her helmet in there.

Leandra was also thankful for the backpack because it gave her something to talk about with Tibia other than Romulus and the horrible awful encounter. They had so far acknowledged to each other that Romulus had told Tibby, but hadn't discussed it. Leandra still didn't want to. So she was thankful for the backpack to distract conversation.

Leandra glared at Tibby for a moment before snatching the leaflet and starting to read it. Of course Tibia would find something like that. "Hush, you. I didn't sleep well last night. Kind of got distracted from sleeping. I'm delirious from sleep deprivation." She said as she looked through the leaflet.

After about ten seconds she started laughing and shaking her head. The StoringBag is specially designed for gods and demigods alike, able to store one full of Greek or Roman armor, plus one additional item or weapon. Not intended to store live creatures such as demigods, nymphs or spirits. Handle with care. Non-pyrogenic. Fashionable for all occasions where backpacks as fashionable. I go to Mom's shrine and read, but sometimes I talk about my day... I've mentioned a few dozen times how much of a pain armor is to tote around."

Wade made his way onto the lake property in New Rome. He had to run a few errands in New Rome, liking buying new clothes. He swore he outgrew his clothes weekly. Okay, maybe not weekly, but monthly, monthly defiantly. Well, I guess you could say every few months. He shook his head, looking to take a swim-- he had packed his trunks before coming here.

He went into the nearby changing room, and came back out, with just his trunks and sunglasses on. A few of the girls nearby giggled- damn aura. He rolled his eyes. going towards the water, when he saw two people he knew very well- Leandra and Spoiled Brat Tiberia, his sister-like-friend who annoyed him, yet he'd protect her with his life, and his ex girlfriend frenemy. He approached them.

"Why, hello, ladies." Wade was a speech expert, in the way that he could go from talking like a 18th century king to a 2015 teenager. He raised an eyebrow at the backpack.

ooc: my turn was skipped ):

Leandra looked up from her bag and shot a look at Wade while he was walking over. She had to admit, he almost looked attractive in his swim trunks, but not like Romulus. She cleared her throat, looking away as Tiberia greeted him, then she looked back. "Afternoon, Wade, might want to put a shirt on before you scare the locals." She said, turning her attention back to the bag. "Why do men get to go shirtless anyway?"

"Actually, Tib, I was planning on being here at the right exact time just to annoy the heck out of you. Oh wait, I think we switched roles there." He put on a fake smile, then his attention turned to Leandra.

"Afternoon. Most of these locals have been to a beach or a lake or a swimming pool or something before, so I'm not worried. I'm not quite sure, read up on your history for that. I'd imagine it's because- ladies, well, if they were to- you know, nevermind, I'm not making this weird. No comment on me making things weird, Tiberia," he glared at her.

"And it's not weird to see guys walking around with their nipples out? I mean, not that I mind see R-" She stopped suddenly, partially because she caught herself almost saying too much, but also because of Tibby's comment. She didn't understand. Why on earth would Tibia be upset with guys like that?

"I don't understand. Why are we punching men for women asking for it? Asking for equal rights to go around half naked isn't a bad thing..." She said, confusion evident in her voice. She had a feeling she was missing something.

Wade's mind tried not to visually see this arguement. He decided to stay out of it. The part about nipples and R was leading onto something...but he decided not to say anything. He'd figure it out sooner or later. "Actually, I was just stopping by to say hello. I'm going for a swim now. You guys keep on being you guys. Well, girls. You know what I mean." He looked at Leandra, and suddenly got a major headache. It was the crush sensing thing- he sensed who had a crush on who. Leandra's...."love presence" was strong, but it was hard to tell who the other part was- at least, with his power. It all started to come together, like a puzzle, and with his ability and his knowledge put together, he came up with the conclusion...

"You have a crush on Ronald, that kid from the Fourth Cohort!" I'm way too smart for these guys.

Leandra heard the words "you have a crush on..." From the son of Cupid and the blood drained from her face as terror rushed through her. Then he said Ronald from the Fourth Cohort. She laughed without thinking, relieved, but also amused at the suggestion. "Ron? Seriously? I'd rather date Terminus."

Wade just smirked. "Yeah, okay, whatever. It's none of my business anyway." He waved, going off to swim in the lake. He dived in, feeling the cool water rush over him. He started swimming away.

ooc: I guess I'll leave the rest of the topic to you guys
