Children of the Gods (Rai/GM)

[Sir Galahad]

Don just waved his hand dismissively.

"Nah! This was one of my smaller pranks."

With that Don would go running out the door to observe his target. After a few moments the smoke would begin to settle, and in the middle of the now huge open area would be standing a with a hand on her hip fingers tapping.

"I'm so done with all of these stupid pranks Don."

She would say completely unamused.

"Awww come on Sin, don't be like that. You know you have a good time playing my games with me."

Sin would just stare at Don blankly.

[Evelyn Amtrum]

Evelyn would follow Don out as he ran ahead, her pace even as the smoke started to clear. The woman still intact, obviously, and it was just as clear she didn't appreciate Don's antics. Again.

"I'd hate to see a bad time," she murmured.

[Sir Galahad]

Sin would look up at the new woman approaching.

"Luckily you probably won't ever have to worry about that. He seems to prefer to play these childish pranks on me, which is good. I doubt anyone else could survive them."

Looking Eve over she would raise an eyebrow.

"Who exactly are you, and why are you hanging out with my dimwitted cousin here?"

"I am not a Dim wit! My pranks are GOLD thank you very much. And this is Evelyn daughter of Ares!"

Sin would nod at Eve.

"A proud lineage to hail from indeed. I am Cindy Daughter of Loki, and this is my Cousin Don Son of Thor. It is our pleasure to meet one of your caliber."

Cindy would say with a small bow.

[Evelyn Amtrum]

"Good to know." She gave Don an appraising look as his cousin advised his pranks tended to go onward and upward from here. She'd already come back to life once; she didn't see the need to be reborn by fire. Still, the change in energy was a nice change in pace.

"It's a pleasure to meet you both as well, Cindy. Don." Evelyn returned the bow with one of her own, recognizing Loki's name as a friend of her family. "As for why I'm here, you could say he found me."

[Sir Galahad]

Sin would turn her head towards Don.

"Hmmm. He does have a way of... pulling people in doesn't he."

She would shake her head.

"I swear one day you're going to make me kill you."

Don would just smile and chuckle a bit, he would appear almost innocent. Almost.

[Evelyn Amtrum]

"Something like that." Evelyn gave Don a pointed look, chuckling as Cindy threatened to kill him - or think it over sometimes.

"That's what I told him." She glanced from one to the other before her gaze landed on Cindy. "So I know why he was here, but what about you? Besides looking for him. According to your cousin, people don't normally come here. Most types of people, anyway."

[Sir Galahad]

Cindy's blank and bored look didn't waver as she turned her attention back the red head.

"When I went to collect this one for our daily tasks I was rewarded by finding a note saying he was going to be headed in this direction saying that if I wanted to catch up with him I'd better hurry."

Faster than the eye could see Cindy would smack Don on the back of the head hard enough to send him to the ground.

"Owowowowowow!"

Don would whine.

"So, I came here, and I took my time to do so. I already knew that whatever prank he had planned was already set up so there was no point in trying to rush here. I figured I'd let him grow bored while waiting for me. But that didn't seem to work out with your sudden arrival. His luck never ceases to astound me."

She would say shaking her head.

[Evelyn Amtrum]

She wondered what it would take to break the girl's stoic expression and had a strong urge to try her hand at seeing what reaction she could get.

"I think you may have had a bit more to wait for the boredom to set in." Unless it was just her appearing when she had, but Don had been willing to sit it out and wait in the shack a while yet.

"What did you need to do?"

[Sir Galahad]

Sin would just shrug.

"Just some chores. Nothing too important. But Don doesn't like to do his daily duties and runs off all the time."

Don would unplant himself from the ground standing up rubbing the back of his head, and smile.

"Why should we be forced to do stupid chores that we don't like when we could be out adventuring and having fun! You get what I'm saying, right Evelyn?!"

Don would look at Eve expectantly. Sin would also turn her attention once again to Eve to see what her response would be.

[Evelyn Amtrum]

Were these two switched at birth, or what?

"I see." She raised a brow at Don, red eyes bright with amusement. She could see him being the type to ditch chores with no imagination required.

"I don't mind adventure, myself. But if you've said you're going to do them, then you do them"

[Sir Galahad]

Don's face fell.

"But I DIDN'T say I was going to do them I got TOLD to do them! So see thats the difference I keep my word but I don't take orders well."

"They weren't order dimwit, our fathers told us that we need to do our chores to build our character and our strength."

"But I'm strong enough!"

Don whined. Sin would shake her head.

"Strong yes, but smart... you need to learn to think AND fight. Not just fight."

Don would roll his eyes.

"But thinking is your thing Sin. Thats why I always have you with me in a fight."

Cindy would just shake her head. Then look back to Eve.

"What is your preference in a fight. Keep hitting harder until the opponent falls or carefully calculate an efficient battle strategy?"

[Evelyn Amtrum]

"Fair enough." The banter had her attention more than Evelyn thought it would. For a moment, her lips lifted in a hint of a smile that wasn't as amused as it had been, but she shook her head and the expression disappeared shortly after. Her chest ached and she found herself standing up a little straighter at Don's conviction that his cousin would always be there.

She'd thought that once, too. About her mother, her father, Arianna...and now Cindy was down a father, dying from the same man that had killed most of her family.

"If you keep hitting hard, you could break through, but you'll more likely burn yourself out before that ever happens. You need to be able to think. It doesn't have to be a full-fledged strategy, but if you keep doing the same thing that doesn't work over and over, you're not going to get good results." She gave Don a once over as she continued, her tone less matter of fact and more deadpan.

"Besides, your cousin may not always be there. What happens if that's all you know? Why hinder yourself?"

[Sir Galahad]

Don smiled and shook his head.

"Nah, she'll always be there. No matter what I do can't seem to get away from her for very long. She always finds me."

Cindy rolled her eyes.

"Because of our link dumbass."

"I know I know, still. My point is. Cindy is never to far from me, and she'll always be there to back me up in an instant no matter the distance. One of her nifty tricks you see."

[Evelyn Amtrum]

Nifty, huh? The link probably did come in handy, she had to admit, but she couldn't hold that kind of solid confidence that nothing would ever happen they couldn't count on each other for without something going wrong. It was always part of the equation, as she knew now. Still, she couldn't deny envying that a little.

"I might be." Seeing, that is. She looked over at Cindy and shook her head.

"She's still right, though."

[Sir Galahad]

Don would fold his arms and pout.

"All too familiar words."

He would say. Cindy however would get a sparkle in her eye and the corner of her mouth would curl, just slightly.

"Well... you could always try to prove you way is better. Why don't you fight our friend here? Try and prove your point? Or are you too chicken shit?"

Don would immediately perk up.

"I'm always down for a brawl! What do you say Miss Evelyn? Would you mind fighting with me to see if my way works for me, or maybe prove that I need to heed my cousins advice?"
