"I forgot about them," Lance mumbled quietly.

Tempest grinned. "So did I…"

He jerked his head towards where the battle had taken place. "We should probably go help…"

"Most likely." She sighed, kissed his cheek, and jumped back into the water.

He blinked in surprise when she kissed his cheek. He was somewhat disappointed when she jumped into the water. He shook his head and went to see what he could help with.

(Poor Lance. Was he expecting something else?)

Tempest swam to her brothers. Aquarius immediately turned to her. "When?" He asked.

(He doesn't even really know what he was expecting, to be honest)

Lance went to check on the drunken Leon. Levi was already there, chasing after their idiotic brother as he stumbled about the cabin and made a mess wherever he roamed. Lance sighed and helped Levi clean up after Leon.

(lol)

Tempest rolled her eyes. "What are you talking about?"
Aquarius crossed his arms. "You. The goat. When did you get together?"
"Why?"

Taking care of a drunk Leon was like taking care of a two-year-old on steroids and three cups of coffee.

Lance and Levi constantly chased after their lunatic of a brother, apologizing to people that he disturbed and picking up the knocked over objects that were left in his wake.

Tempest climbed out of the water a while later, pulling her hair into a braid. When it was wet, it was horrible. It would seem like it was rubber and get into her face. She moved into the demigod house.

Levi and Lance were in the middle of keeping Leon pinned down while Hypnos did his thing.

Tempest stopped in the doorway. "What…" she stopped.

Hypnos waved a hand under a whining Leon's nose, and the lion passed out instantly. Looking exhausted and relieved, Lance and Levi released twin sighs of relief and stood up.

She snorted. “You know what, I don’t even want to know.”

Lance shot an apologetic look her way. "Leon was causing a racket and refused to go to sleep for once," he explained.

“Again?” She laughed slightly. “He seems to do that a lot, doesn’t he?”

"Especially when the baboon is drunk," Levi chimed in, sighing heavily. Lance nodded his agreement.

She laughed.

Meanwhile, outside the building, a figure perched. It laughed slightly. ”They will never see this coming…”

Two of the Chimera triplets frowned in sync, exchanging a look.

(You’re going to love the figure…)

The figure darted down the side of the building, face in shadow.

(Am I now?)

"There's something…" Levi started in Ancient Greek, speaking lowly to Lance. His triplet nodded and darted his eyes around. Friend or foe, neither really knew just yet.

The figure strode in. He was glowing with a bright pink light. “It is I!” The figures said. “Koalemous! Fear me!”

Lance and Levi blinked at the figure, then exchanged a 'wtf is this?' look.

Koalemos seemed disappointed that he hadn’t gotten the reaction. “Don’t you know who I am?”

Levi blinked again. "Oooooooh! Koalemos. Yeah yeah yeah." He shook his head. "The last diety I expected to show up." Lance's lips formed a silent 'oh' as well.

He frowned. “Why aren’t you scared? I can curse you and your family all with…” he thought for a moment. “Acne!”

"Then you'd be cursing the family of the Chimera," Levi pointed out, brows arched. Lance subtly made his way over to Tempest.

Koalemos growled. “Well then, I’ll curse you with… bad luck! No wait, I can’t do that. Um… perfect teeth! Yeah! I’ll curse you and your family with perfect teeth!”

Levi bore his pearly whites–which were a little pointed thanks to being a dragon–in a dazzling smile. He was having too much fun with this minor god.

Koalemos looked pleased with himself. “See, it worked! You should fear me!”
