Hola

Let's pick up where we left off, no? How about in the morning? Lance is still gonna be stuck in the tree

Okay. I think it was your turn

Levi, nominated as least likely to be rained on by the two remaining brothers, knocked lightly on Tempest's door, bearing a tray of breakfast in bed in his other hand. As per Lance's telepathic request.
The goat brother, meanwhile, was kicking his hooves against the stubborn tree to try and free his curled horn. Once again, to no avail.

Tempest opened the door. "Hey, Geek Boy," she said with a warm smile, letting him in.

"You have names for all of us, don't you?" He muttered, pushing up his glasses.

"Yup," she grinned. "There's Geek Boy, Idiot and Goat Boy. Where is Goat Boy, by the way?"

Levi handed Tempest the tray of fresh and steaming food. "Here. And I believe he's still outside messing with that tree. He told me to get you this." His lips quirked up in a small and friendly smile. "And I completely agree with Idiot."
"I CAN HEAR YOU!!"
Levi rolled his eyes.

Tempest snorted. "Good!" She called back.

In the two brothers' room, Leon pouted like a child, munching on Levi's chips.

Tempest grinned impishly at Levi, her eyes sparkling. "So, did your brother," her smile faded for a moment before she continued, "tell you what I'm doing?"

"Nah, just to get you some food." He cocked his head, fire red hair falling into his yellow eyes. "Why?"

"Well, Aries, Poseidon, Zeus, Aphrodite and Dionysus have gone made and are going to destroy Earth, so…"

He poked his tongue out slightly. "Hm. That's always a problem. I mean, it happens almost every few millennia, so it's nothing new. But it's always a problem since that ignites a war between mortals. And then stuff gets destroyed and we have to adjust to a different era of human civilization."

Tempest tilted her head. "Weird. Do you know why they go mad?"

"They're gods…?"

She laughed. "Good point. So, I'll be leaving you guys soon to go recruit some demigods to help, but I just have to say, thank you."

Levi frowned, leaning against the door frame. "We wanna help."

Levi frowned, leaning against the door frame. "We wanna help."

Tempest smiled a bit sadly. "You don't have to help. After all, you don't have anything to lose. I do."

"That's exactly why we wanna help. We don't have anything to lose, but what about the people here?" He circled his head to indicate said people. "If we fight, that's less people who have to get hurt." He offered a lopsided smile. "And Lance wants to keep you safe. And if he does, so do we. Very few people can catch his attention like you have."

Tempest chuckled, trying to hide the bitterness that that statement produced. "It's fine, really. And I haven't caught his interest like that. It's just my appearance. I'm just another plaything for men to use then throw away." There was a definite hint of bitterness in her voice now.

Levi raised a brow. "Uh huh." He highly doubted that was the reason, but okay. He wasn't about to argue. "Well, you won't have to worry about me then." He flashed a smile and threw up a peace sign.
