[ You've come pretty far haven't you, Roman Barbie? Seven months in the Greek camp and she's earned another tattoo, reunited with Johnny, got a boyfriend and has slowly been studying the differences between the Greek and Roman fighting styles. It's the Mars in her blood that picks up on these things. It's nice, actually, to feel like she's gained some respect. Not that anyone ever looked down on her at Camp Jupiter but she had been somewhat of a troublesome girl when she first joined the Legion -- despite her letters of recommendation.

There are some things, however, that don't change -- like her mischievous streak and silly plans to keep the camp's spirits light in times of duress.

Unsurprisingly, Heather wants to avoid getting literal cabin fever so she's still out and about - somewhat better dressed after shopping in the city for a short, asymmetrical black coat warmer than a leather jacket. She happily lands near the stables after taking her favorite pegasus, Moneypenny, out for a ride, her hair hardly mussed despite the wind. ]

Hey, girl, good job! Can't have the both of us restless, right?

[ The Roman army is a foot army, but Heather had ridden Moneypenny during the Red Room mission and decided then to continue practicing and flying with her just in case. Feel free to offer any tips or company or ask her questions if you see her. ]

*Callie walked through the door of the stables, the scene behind her was of some wooden structure... not any of the cabins. But the scene is gone quickly after. Callie has a few new articles of clothing too, which she bought in spite of the prices in NYC. Mostly because New York is cold, and why do people bother to live here. She watched Heather land.*

...What's got you restless?

*Callie leaned against the stable doorway and waited. She needed a shot of optimism and good feelings, given this was her Dad's time of the year, and her birthday was on the way. Which just reminded Callie of the family she's lost. Even if her cohort knew and remembered, it didn't really wash away the memories before.*

[ she's already spoken about riding lessons - pegasus lessons, rather - with someone. a boy. she never got his name, but audrey knows they exist, and really, she doesn't need permission to go investigate, does she? of course, she's not exactly foolhardy enough to try one without a little guidance.

who are we kidding? of course she is.

that doesn't mean she is, at least, for the moment. she leans over the fence, watching the blonde girl and the winged horse she rides. audrey crosses her arms over the railing and leans in, squinting across the field, before she asks: ] Is that a pegasus?

[ which, naturally, has an obvious answer, but she has to start somewhere. ]

[While Heather was out taking Moneypenny for a ride, Hephaistion and Asteri had been out for the same (but with four hooves on the ground). When he sees her coming in for a landing, he urges his horse back toward the stables to say hello. He hadn't met the rider before, and Asteri and the pegasus seemed to get along well. It seemed silly but also important that his horse make friends at camp as well.

It wasn't often than anyone was out here the same time he was. It seemed rude not to at least say something. He hails her as he approaches.] Looking pretty good up there.

[Even in the 20 degree weather - wasn't this place supposedly weather controlled or something? - there's still early morning Roman Training. Scott's bundled up in one of those polar-fleece North Face jackets and a beanie and he's still freezing. Sweat cooling on your skin tends to do that.

But he's getting better, getting good at this whole formation thing, following orders. He likes it. He might even think about working towards a leadership position of his own someday - but that'll come if he's meant for it.]

Nice work out there, Heather.

[He gives her a little thumbs up, coming over to pat at the pegasus' side. He's not exactly familiar with them, given the Legion's attitude towards cavalry, but Moneypenny is pretty cool.]
