Petal 07 -- IM/Action

[Jehan is smiling softly when the IM starts]

Ah, I know that the theft is on everyone's mind but until Chiron and Mr. D can find the thieves, I'm not sure worrying about it will do anyone any good. So, Peeta and I--mostly Peeta--thought that maybe the Demeter cabin should run a sort of Valentine's café in the Big House next Friday, as a sort of distraction and a place for people to take their sweethearts since...camp doesn't really have a lot of places like that.

[Eh heh]

Would people be interested in this?

[shylyintrepid]

I hope so, yes. If you'd like, I can bring you some, Hephaistion.

[notthatjason]

I know I can't. Put me down for a table, okay?

[He smiles like it's a joke, because he knows it's probably not going to be that fancy. But it still sounds fun and he knows he can probably talk Reyna into it.]

IM

[shylyintrepid]

Of course.

Re: IM

[notthatjason]

So what all have you and Peeta planned for this so far? Or is it still in the early stages?

[You did mention food and Jason may have some requests in mind.]

IM

[shylyintrepid]

That's a secret, though if you have any allergies or special diets you might want to tell us.

[burnblonde]

Oh.

Oh honey no.

[She couldn't have him believing that.]

I'm classy and attractive with or without the dress or what color it is. The clothing is an accessory that compliments how you feel about yourself and should be worn to make you happy, not anyone else.

Besides, studies have been done about how colors can effect people's moods. Though I guess we also have to consider how different cultures have different meanings for colors.

[shylyintrepid]

[A pause]

I'm afraid the only thing I understood out of that was "dress how you like".

[burnblonde]

[She shrugs.]

Eh. That was about the gist of it anyway.

IM

[notthatjason]

A secret, huh? [He may be a little disappointed. But he understands.]

No allergies here though. I don't think Reyna's allergic to anything either.

IM

[shylyintrepid]

No special diets, religious or otherwise?

[somatophylax]

I don't have a sweetheart, but I am particularly fond of leftovers. But only if you find you have a moment or two to spare after you've closed the cafe. No obligation, of course.

IM

[shylyintrepid]

Food is never an obligation.

[pyrkagia]

I suppose you're right. I'm just...frazzled, is all.

[This is the first time she's admitted since this all started that she may not be having the easiest time shouldering this.]

Save me a slice of cake, if you can. I like chocolate.

[shylyintrepid]

I will save you an entire cake.

[pyrkagia]

[That earns him a tiny smile.]

You're a prince among men, Jehan.

[Action]

[deathdiduspart]

[He grins in response. This is a good a moment as any to ask one last thing, too.]

By the way, uh, are you still interested in learning Italian?

[Action]

[shylyintrepid]

Yes, I am! Can you teach me?

[Action]

[deathdiduspart]

Sure. Maybe you can teach me some French? Um...do you have a preference as to where you'd like to be taught?

[Action]

[shylyintrepid]

Nope! Just don't expect me to be able to sit still if we're outside.

[Action]

[deathdiduspart]

[Nico smiles wryly at that.]

I never expect a demigod to sit still. We can always walk around during the lesson. This is hardly an actual class. When's a good time for you?

[Action]

[shylyintrepid]

Oh, whenever. If I'm busy, I'll just tell you.

[Action]

[deathdiduspart]

Fair enough. Once a week or would you want the lesson more often?

[Action]

[shylyintrepid]

Let's go with once a week for now, since we're both counselors.

[Action]

[deathdiduspart]

[He nods, a little relieved.]

Do you have a day in particular? Mine are mostly free.

[Action]

[shylyintrepid]

Not pegasus days. Those can vary, though, so just check with me?
