Eatin' (Open/Adrian)

[kayleeyaylee]

Kaylee walked into the Mess Hall and headed over to where all the food was. She was starving and couldn't wait to dig in.

[tanglenose]

Adrian walked into the Mess Hall and followed Kaylee toward the food. He picked up two trays and passed one to Kaylee. "It all looks so good!" He commented.

[kayleeyaylee]

"I agree," said Kaylee slightly salivating. She picked up one of everything that didn't contain meat. Then, she went over to a table and sat down. She patted the seat next to her, looked up to Adrian, and smiled.

[tanglenose]

Adrian noticed that Kaylee only took non-meaty foods, so he guessed that she was a veggitarian. As not to insult her, he took a big helping of classic Mac and Cheese and a few peices of garlic bread. He quickly grabbed a glass of water and walked over to Kaylees table. He sat down beside her and ate a few noodles. "Mmmm..." He mumbled happily. He swallowed and took a sip of water. "I was right, it IS good!" He exclaimed.

[kayleeyaylee]

"I know right!" she exclaimed. "This is sooo much better than food at my old school." Kaylee noticed that he didn't get any meat too. "Are you a vegetarian too?" She had never met another one. Maybe he cared for animals almost as much as she did.

[tanglenose]

Adrian thought how he could word his answer. "Well... No." he answered truthfully. "I always take small amounts of meat though. When I was little, I tried being vegitarian, but my mother made me eat meat." Adrian sighed, feeling a little ashamed.

[kayleeyaylee]

"Oh, okay. I grew up vegetarian. I've never even tasted meat. Both of my parents are vegetarian," she explained. She looked down at her lap not sure of what else to say. She didn't really have things end on a good note with her parents. "What are your parents like?" she asked.

[tanglenose]

"Well, my 'dad' died in a plane crash, but that's not true." Adrian said. "I guess my mortal dad was a story created by my mother. She told me about my real father and kicked me out." Adrian shrugged and ate a few more bites of macaroni. "Never liked her anyway!" he muttered.

[kayleeyaylee]

"Oh," was all she could say to that. Her adoptive parents seemed like angels in comparison. Well, they kind of were... "My adoptive parents were honest about me from the get-go. They raised me well, Christian though. We didn't really end things off well." Then, she mumbled, "but it was mostly my fault."

[tanglenose]

Adrian put down us fork and started to nibble on a peice of garlic toast. "Really?" He asked. "What happened?" Adrian whipped the corner of his mouth with his napkin and set it back down on the table.

[kayleeyaylee]

Kaylee sighed. She couldn't keep ignoring what happened. It's about time that she sucked it up and talked about it. "Well, they were very strict Christians and they raised me just like them. They, and I in turn, believed in no sex before marriage. My boyfriend had a problem with that..." Kaylee looked down at her salad not wanting to make eye contact on this last part. She was ashamed of what had happened. "He decided to take matters into his own hands and he, well," she took a deep breath," he raped me." Tears swelled up in her eyes. They began to fall and she quickly wiped them away not wanting Adrian to see. "I blamed them for everything..." She shut her eyes tight and looked away.

[tanglenose]

Adrian dropped his garlic bread as his hand shot up to cover his mouth, which was hanging open like a door with too much oil. "I'm so sorry." Adrian sympathized. "I don't know how people can do things like that!" He noticed Kaylees tears and was about to give her the rag she had used earlier, but saw her turn away. 'She's ashamed!' He thought. 'She thinks it was her fault!' He reached across the table and put his hand on top of hers. "Hey, it's not your fault." He said softly.   

[kayleeyaylee]

Kaylee looked into his eyes and saw that he meant it. It isn't my fault? It was hard for her to believe, but it's not the first time that she's heard it. Maybe it was true after all... Who knows. "Thanks," she said giving him a weak smile. The last tear fell down her cheek and it dripped on top of Adrian's hand. "Sorry," she said wiping the tear off of his hand with her other hand.

Kendra walked in. She walked over and grabbed a plate. She picked out some garlic bread, (about 4 pieces, I LOVE the stuff XD), some macaroni, and a peanut butter and strawberry jelly sandwich.

Vann, who was following her, and clutching a couple napkins around his nose, which had been broken a couple minutes before, also grabbed a plate. Seeing an opportunity, he punched Kendra in the back. Hard. She almost dropped her plate with the unexpected blow, then for some odd reason, started laughing. (aren't I creepy? that actually happens in real life. it hurts but i'm laughing. I probably think it's the creepiest out of everyone who sees it happen XP) Vann's mouth dropped open. Why was she laughing? Had it been because she had been expecting it? Or maybe because it had been too weak a blow? Kendra rubbed the spot he punched. "Ooww..." she said, still giggling. Vann then slugged her again in the shoulder, yet she did the same thing. She said ow, yet she laughed.

<it seriously happens! it's REALLY creepy! even to me!!!> O.O

[tanglenose]

Adrian looked into Kaylee's eyes for what seemed like the longest time. Then an 'Ow!' from over by the food line caught his attention. He saw one demigod punch another, then the girl who had be punched laughed. "Ok that's a little wierd..." Adrian mumbled under his breath.

[⋆ The Mage of Frost]

Kendra shrugged and went to sit by the other two campers. "Hmm..." she murmered to herself.

Vann followed. He was still trying to figure out why she had laughed.

[tanglenose]

Ooc: Sorry, I was waiting for Kaylee, but it's been a month.

Adrian scooted over to make room on the bench for the two new demi-gods. "Hi, I'm Adrian." He introduced himself, extending his hand.

[⋆ The Mage of Frost]

<'tis okay >

Kendra quickly grabbed his hand and firmly shook it. "I'm Kendra, don't worry, I don't bite. Hard." She smiled happily and sat down. She started chewing her p.b.j. sandwich and cast a small death glare at Vann.

Vann returned her glare and shook Adrian's hand. "And I'm Vann. Haven't you heard about me? The one who got his nose broken by an insane and rabid crazy girl for almost no reason? Oh, you haven't? Well you're in luck, good to meet you." He continued to rant while sitting down.

Kendra rolled her eyes. She felt like punching him again, but there wasn't a good really good reason, so she instead just said, "At least I don't go around trying to steal people's ipods. Their expensive ipods. The expensive ipods that took them forever to convince their dads to buy them."

That started a big 'ole argument with them practically screaming back and forth at a point. Finally Kendra randomly shouted "Siddown ya nasty, rude, jerk of a kumquat!!!"

"What the heck?" said Vann, dazed at how random the outburst was.

[tanglenose]

Adrian shook both their hands and ate another bite of garlic bread. Suddenly the two newcomers started to sqabble. Adrian listened for a while, listening to their very loud conversation. He then started laughing as hard as he could when Kendra shouted her responce. Adrian laughed so hard that he got the hiccicups. "Oh-Hic-No!" He exclaimed, still laughing.

[⋆ The Mage of Frost]

Kendra couldn't help but let out a little smile. "Now that we stopped screechin' our heads off, we can eat" she declared. "Sorry for rudely interrupting your romantic moment" sdhe apoligized to Kaylee and Adrian.

Vann, still a little dazed, went back to eating. gosh, that girl was weird.

[tanglenose]

Adrian's blood turned to ice at Kendras comment and caught his breath, stopping his hiccups. He quickly stole a glance at Kaylee and looked down at his plate. "N-no problem." He mumbled, cheeks turning red.

[⋆ The Mage of Frost]

Kendra burst out laughing as his cheeks gained color. "Ahahaha! Caught ya! T'was just kiddin' aroung before though, but seeing as you two are an item, sorry! Need us to give ya some space, or are weh fine here eh?"

Vann rolled his eyes. "Girl! Leave them alone! So what if they're an 'item'. SHEESH!!!"

Kendra smirked at him, then continued eating.

< >XD don't i talk awesomely? XDXDXD >

[tanglenose]

Adrians cheeks turned even redder, if that was possible, when the duo assumed they were going out. "We aren't a couple." He mumbled, avoiding eyecontact with Kaylee.

Ooc: Lol, it's so much fun guessing how your next post will be weird.

[⋆ The Mage of Frost]

< XDXDXD thank you >

Kendra grinned mischievously, stopped eating, then said. "Well we are."

Vann's eyes widened. "Oh no we are NOT!!!"

The daughter of Athena grinned wider, "We are now." With that, she kissed him on the cheek.

[tanglenose]

Adrians face turned back to it's regular color at Vann's expression. The previous awkwardness was forgotion as he started laughing all over again, re-starting his hiccups. "Not-hic-again-hic!" Adrian said, slamming his hand onto his forehead.

[⋆ The Mage of Frost]

Vann's eyes widened even more, and now his face was a bright shade of red. "AAAAAAAAH!!!" he screeched, then got up. He ran towards the door, but Kendra managed to get the back of his collar in time, though it almost strangled him. "Don't even think about it" she snarled, then shoved him into his seat. "Sit down like a good boy" she said, patting him on the head, and sitting down herself. Vann was gasping for air, as she was still holding onto his collar. He sat down slowly, and Kendra released her firm grasp. The boy glared at her. She glared back, then kissed him on the cheek again, leaving him startled, and her laughing her head off. Then they both finally went back to eating.

[tanglenose]

Adrian started calming down as Kendra dragged Vann back into his seat. He took a few deep breaths and his hiccups stopped. "Ok, I think I'm good now." Adrian smiled. "Say, who's your godparent?" He took a few bites of his very yummy macaroni.

[⋆ The Mage of Frost]

"He's son of Ares" said Kendra, poking her companion in the back, and I'm daughter of Athena, whether I look it or not." She shrugged, light brown bangs bouncing into her hazel eyes.

Vann continued eating, ignoring everyone else in the room.

[tanglenose]

Adrian's ear perked up at the mention of Ares. "Oh, I've got me a blimey aff-brother!" He exclaimed. For reasons unknown to everyone, including himself, Adrian was talking in an Australian accent. "Imma gonna get me some more of dis snazy grub!" He walked over and piled more macaroni on his plate. Adrian sat back down and gobbled his new 'grub'.

[⋆ The Mage of Frost]

Kendra smiled. She like randomness.

Vann stared. That's why the kid looked familiar! But why the heck was with the random Australian accent?
