Leo was about to protest at his words being called stupid, a complaint that it was a valid question given the circumstances, on the tip of his tongue before Rhys pulled him forward by his loose silky shirt. Any other time and the son of Apollo would protest at the harsh treatment of the expensive and delicate fabric but when the action was the preface to such beautiful words and the kiss he had been longing for for two years, any and all complaints died.

He groaned, body melting as Leo wasted no time in moulding himself to the other demigod, hands coming up to grip his jaw and deepen the kiss in a practiced action. Moving on instinct alone, Leo began to back them further into the son of stars cabin, even if he didn't know the layout he didn't care, all he needed was a surface for them to utilise. "Say it again." Leo breathed between desperate kisses. "Tell me you love me." He needed to hear it, his heart aching for those words for so long.

Rhys hated that he had to say his name knowing exactly what it would do to the man in front of him. How it would bring up the pain of being manipulated for years. The day Leo confessed the hold Giovanni had on him as they laid in the bed in a post orgasmic bliss Rhys began to plan. He had lawyers on call to look over Leo's contract again and again making sure they knew it like the back of their hands. They were so close to breaking his love free from the hold when their world blew up. Giovanni had found out his prized boy was seeing Rhys and wasted no time going to the man Rhys was married to at the time and telling him their secret.

Having been paid off David took Rhys back home to France for a few months before the boy of stars finally got the call he was selected to go into space. Eighteen months he not only trained his ass off for his dream but worked with lawyers in getting a divorce from the man who never loved him and trying to free the man he did love from the hold his manager had on him.

All of that work lead him here back in front of Leo just not in the way he had expected it to end up. After stepping off the rocket landing back on Earth he knew he had to come to camp and figure out what his mother was trying to tell him. Yet here he was greeted with the man that his heart had longed for all these years and he had the audacity to stand there and ask Rhys if they loved he felt was in the past. "You are not dumb, mon étoile, but that is perhaps the most stupid thing you have ever asked me." His voice was almost a growl as he reached out to grab Leo's shirt and pulling him to him. "Stars may burn and die but what I feel for you will never fade."

And then he finally kissed him after nearly two years.

[drxwnedgod]

Leo wasn't subtle as he followed Rhys into the cabin, flinging the door open with some force, uncaring if it made a crash or disturbed anyone - he wasn't about to be walked away from during this conversation of all things. It certainly did boil up his anger and irritation that Rhys had attempted to say he'd gotten a divorce and then run away. Leo was not going to let that be the end of things.

He watched the other with an impatient and irritated look in his eyes, arms folded across his chest as he waited for Rhys to do...whatever it was he was doing. He hadn't taken to his godly abilities in quite the same way as the other, sure he could manipulate light, make a sun appear in his palm but he didn't do it much - the only thing Leo embraced was his musical gifts and he refused to believe all his talent was just because his dad was some god who didn't give a shit about him.

When Rhys began speaking, Leo listened - a surprising thing given his expression - but he had always given the other his full attention. "I waited!" Leo snapped back with a look of indignation in his eyes at the very thought he was being accused of not doing what he'd promised to do. "You said we would be together before you went up there - I wanted to be by your side when you got your moment." Leo replied, his own voice getting emotional before Rhys mentioned Giovanni making him recoil like he'd been slapped. Just the man's name was enough to make the son of Apollo shiver with disgust. "I - didn't know he'd done that.... He told me David found out and you picked him over me....I didn't believe him but then you never called and I saw you went to space and so I guess I just got swept up in his manipulations again." Leo admitted with a sigh, his anger disappearing as he ran his fingers through his hair before his gaze returned to Rhys. "Loved?...is it in the past?"

He kept his back to Leo as he all but ran in the direction of his cabin. Each footstep pounded on the ground and matched the beating in his chest as his anxiety rose and rose. Words muttered from his mouth but it was all low spoken and in French. Rhys wasn't stupid he knew Leo was following him, could hear the words that came out of his ex's mouth but he didn't glance back. All he simply had to do was get to his cabin, surround himself with his stars and then he could breath and focus on this. Even if it meant his heart was to get shattered again.

Hand reaching out to the cabin door he threw it open and stepped inside taking a deep breath. The stars that lined the cabin's walls and ceiling pulled away from the surface and surrounded Rhys as he stood with his arms stretched out coating him in a second skin almost, a comforting blanket. Or perhaps it was more like an armor because as soon as the last star touched his skin he was turning to look at his ex, eyes filled bright with the starlight.

"I told you I was getting a lawyer! Those things take time! He did not sign until I was there!" Rhys pointed up into the open sky. "Three months, I have been divorced for three months and two of them I was miles above Earth realizing who I am! I could not reach you to tell you, you know Giovanni blocked my number after he outed us to David! Do you know how many times I tried to call you before I went to tell you how much I missed you? How much I loved you still?" His voice shook but it wasn't out of anger but out of longing.

[drxwnedgod]

Leo knew it was cruel to say, the one thing he knew would hurt Rhys and he did feel guilty once the words had left his lips and the look on the other's face presented itself. But he was hurting, it had broken his heart when Rhys had gone back to his husband, when Leo had bought his ring and been planning the perfect proposal - all for nothing. He'd watched Rhys achieve his dreams of going to space, all while Leo had wallowed in his booze and drugs, making sad music and fucking around because it made him feel a little bit better.

He noticed the way Rhys' gaze went to the ring on his finger and didn't try to hide it. Leo had made a promise that day when he'd been given the beautiful sun ring, glittering opal stone in the centre, he'd sworn he'd never take it off and he stood by that.

Leo's french wasn't perfect, he'd certainly learned more since dating Rhys, but he caught what the other demigod said before he tried to hightail it back to his cabin. Oh no, Leo was not letting him escape that easily. He followed behind the other like a man on a mission, not letting Rhys get away. "You cannot just say things like that and then run away! Talk to me - if you got the divorce why did you never tell me? When did you get it? You promised you would be with me and then you left with him and went off to space! Cosa avrei dovuto pensare?"

There it was. He knew it was coming and yet it still felt like Leo had reached out and slapped him across the face. Rhys took a step back not even bothering to hide the pain that fitted across his face because there was no point when the man in front of him knew him better than he knew himself. Which meant he knew exactly how much those words stung him. You left me. But he didn't not really. Physically yes but emotionally and mentally he would always belong to the younger man in front of him. Rhys fell in love with the stars at a young and so it only made sense that as an adult the love of his life was the son of the goddamn Sun itself.

His fingers reached out to play with a ring that was no longer there, an old habit of his as his eyes flicked down to look at Leo's hand to spot-- yes, it seemed that the ring he had given Leo was still there. A single flicker of hope swelled up inside him that he wasted no time crushing down. Leo was still bitter this was no time for a reunion as much as he dreamed and longed for one. "Je suis divorcé," the words were rushed in his native tongue before he could stop them, a sign that he was entering a panic mode of sorts. "J'ai divorcé pour toi. Je--" Rhysand turned and all but ran back to his cabin

[drxwnedgod]

"Not particularly - it's just good to get to know all the different faces around here." Leo replied with an innocent smile - contrasted to his thoughts of needing to learn who to stand behind in battles so he wasn't the one on the front lines.

@apxllosblood

"Do you need help finding something?" Corinth asked, almost certain he'd caught a wandering gaze from the new face.

[drxwnedgod]

"He didn't seem that into the idea of clonescest - a pity really, it would have been delightful." Leo sighed with his usual dramatics. "Oh I have no intentions of dying, I'm too pretty for that. And I have every intention of using them all as one giant meat wall between me any whatever we're supposed to 'fight'." Leo replied like it was the most obvious and common sense thing in the world. He was pleased to hear that multiple orgies had already happened and so was hopeful quests like that would be available to him - all the fun and zero hard work was much more the son of Apollo's style. "Good! I'd hate to have come all this way to be a demigod and for things to be so dull."

Silas recalled and pouted. "Oh yes, the two Charlie's. To be honest it was a hot sight. It's too bad that thing turned out to be some blob creature. Well...too bad I found out before fucking them together." And that was true crime in that scenario. Twins or clones was the one thing he had yet to cross off his list. His pout deepened a little as Leo continued. "I hope you get over that soon friend. I would hate for you to die after just showing me a little fun. At least learn how to use the others as shields. That's what I usually do." He pointed out a few stores and then asked the attendant to get a couple with Holli's measurements. Then he had to explain they were for his fiance not him. "I've been to at least two orgies so far. So you might get lucky again." Maybe they should watch what they said around the mortals. Then again they've probably heard worst from the people that could afford this service.

[drxwnedgod]

It wasn't the reaction he'd been expecting given the circumstances and in any other situation he'd have quite liked a firm grip to his throat, but this wasn't that. Being taken higher up into the air when it was already hard to breathe from Link's grip was concerning to the son of Apollo - Leo was no stranger to being on unpleasant ground with people, but he wasn't expecting to be killed off by another camp member...at least not so soon. When they finally hit somewhat solid ground again, Leo was a little shaky on his feet, and took a moment to compose himself before he turned unimpressed eyes on the other demigod. "All that over a fucking apple?" He said, rubbing at his throat, testing for any damage to his vocals. "Dio mio lets hope none of our enemies have some wayward fruit lest you lose your cool." Leo replied with dramatic flare, words dripping in scathing sarcasm as he laughed at the absurdity of it. "Imagine had I actually given enough of a shit to aim at you." He rolled his eyes dismissively, heading back for the comfort of his cabin. "Try not to cry through any orchards now." He waved off.

" No, you listen here to me. If you ever throw another fucking apple at me and I will murder you. " Link's tone changed quickly as he gripped the other by the neck, making sure he was safe. " You see, you're not the big dog on campus anymore, are you? " Link would take themselves higher into the air, wings flapping as the cold air bit at them both until he would take a swan dive, just to feel the fear within Leo and the excitement of his own brand of torture until they landed feet first at the top of the Apollo cabin. " Welcome to camp. "

[drxwnedgod]

Never one to turn down the opportunity to be pressed up against a nice hard body, Leo followed without any complaint. He did raise a brow when directed to cling to the other until they fell out of the window. Luckily Leo kept his rather unmanly scream inside and just gripped Link like a scared cat, all claws, desperation and indignation. "If you drop me I will murder you." The son of Apollo hissed, keeping his gaze very much away from the distance to the ground. "While I'm not opposed to adding to my mile high club record, and this is one unique way to do it, I prefer the ground beneath my feet or back - you get my point?"

Lincoln left out a laugh, breath hot and heavy while he gripped the other and lead him to the window while their bodies were pressed so tight against each other that Leo could feel every ridge on the son of victory's large frame. Without wasting a moment, Link wrapped Leo's leg around his body and leaned back outside of the window and fell for a moment before his wings expanded and took them soaring about ten feet above apollo's roof. " nervous? " he asked, his wings in steady beat to keep them in place as link looked down into leo's eyes.

[drxwnedgod]

Leo wasn't sure what to expect when Rhys took a few steps closer and started to close the gap between them. Was this the moment he'd been dreaming of, that searing and perfect kiss reuniting their love? No...it was a poke to the chest. Leo covered up his disappointment that his little fantasy had not come to pass with a look of mild irritation, rubbing at the spot that had been brutalised. "It's not a lie, and you left me before I got my chance to stop you." He replied, words a little biting with some of the bitterness he still felt at Rhys picking that cunt of a husband over him. He wasn't over it, that much was obvious but he tried to pretend he was. He was still proud of Rhys for all he'd achieved and he'd always wanted him to achieve his dreams - Leo just wanted to be there alongside him when he did, safely at home on earth able to brag that his sexy astronaut was in space whenever he was interviewed. But those dreams never came true.

As the focus shifted to his music, it was Leo's turn to glance away, a hint of a blush actually colouring the son of Apollo's cheeks. He was never bashful when it came to his art but this time it was a little different. He'd begun writing that album when he and Rhys were still together - didn't finish it until they had broken up - and now hearing that Rhys had been listening to it, that two of his favourite songs were the ones Leo had painfully bled out after their breakup....made him feel awkward for once in his life. "Grazie, I wanted to get this one right." Leo replied, clearing his throat when it suddenly felt tight before pulling on his mask of dramatics to cover up any lingering displays of feelings. "The fans always love the tours, I go big and this time bigger than ever. It felt like four months of nonstop parties!"

Rhys couldn't stop himself as his jaw dropped when he heard the confession. Eyes were wide and he even shook his head in disbelief. Taking a few steps to close the gap between us, his finger reached out to poke Leo in the chest. "Do not tell such lies, mon bijou. I remember how you used to declare that you would not let me go." Not because he was being controlling but Rhys knew it was because the other was scared. While the son of Asteria longed to be in the stars surrounded by the lights, Leo was more than happy to be two feet planted on the ground and Rhys knew this. Hearing that Leo not only kept up with what he was doing but watched the moment in his life that he had been working for since the moment he was born? Rhys had to clear his throat and glance to the side once again feeling a surge of emotions filling up his chest.

"I actually listened to it when it came out." His voice was soft as he focused on the fox in his arms, giving her a few pets. It was easier this way to confess what had happened. "I was up on the space station and made sure to schedule when I was asleep around it. Uh timezone was my favorite..." There was that god damn blush on his cheeks again. He wasn't even going to mention how many times he cried over The Loneliest, hearing the pain in his ex's voice. It was probably a good thing that he had headphones up there so he wasn't bugging the others with how often he had been listening to Leo's voice. It was pure heaven, hearing his voice as he stared at the stars. "I know I have no idea what I am saying when it comes to music but I think this was your best one. It seemed like your fans loved it."

[drxwnedgod]

Despite the distance and time spent apart it felt like coming home being back together. Talking to Rhys was as effortless as it always had been and Leo found himself quickly forgetting the aloof act he'd promised he'd keep up around the other. He still loved seeing that blush appear on Rhys' cheeks whenever he complimented him - whether or not Rhys would ever learn to accept them would never stop Leo giving them.

Leo listened to Rhys talk with an attention he didn't give anyone else. truth be told he didn't care what anyone else had to say, but with Rhys he really did genuinely care and was honestly interested in what the other had to talk about, even if he rarely understood any of it. "I know. I read about your mission whenever I got the chance." Leo admitted. Maybe he should have kept something like that to himself, but he wanted Rhys to know he had always cared, always been interested in what he was doing and proud of his achievements. "I watched the launch on YouTube." He smiled to himself. He had done it secretly in the bathroom at a show, hiding before a set with Giovanni pounding on the door, screaming that if Leo blew him anymore money he'd make him regret it worse than the last time. But he wasn't prepared to miss something so important. "I'm glad you finally got to go there. I know how hard you worked for it."

Seeing no ring on the other's finger made a sliver of hope blossom inside the son of Apollo's chest but he quickly reminded himself that they were different people now - and Rhys had left to go back to France in the first place. "The usual. Another album, another tour." Leo shrugged. Usually he was more than happy to talk about himself, but around Rhys and in the light of the other's accomplishments his own life felt almost...silly in comparison.

Even his laugh was musical and melodic which only seemed to amplify now that they were divine. He had a guess who Leo belonged to but kept those thoughts to himself for now. Instead he focused on the way the other was smiling and laughing in front of him; sights and sounds he never thought he would get to experience again. "Ah of course," Rhys teased back knowing that for once Leo wasn't just blowing smoke; he really was that talented. Though the compliment only made him blush and glance down at the side unable to meet his eyes. He could spend all night complimenting Leo but when it came to accepting them he was still shy. Past trauma and all that.

His dark eyes watched as Leo ran a hand through his hair causing a deep stir in his gut of want. It had been too long since he ran his own hands through that hair to tug as he kissed and -- "Oh! Uh it was when I was in space actually. I finally got up there by the way and it was magical, everything was peaceful and perfect except for the food, god I never want to eat spaghetti and meatballs again since that's basically all we ate for two solid months but I was up there staing at the stars and I just knew. It was like finally coming home and I could hear a soft voice to tell me to come here next." It was rare for him to ramble but Leo was one of the few that could bring it out of him. As if he realized that he was indeed rambling, Rhys rubbed the back of his neck with his left hand - now freshly ringless - and blushed. "What uh about you?"

[drxwnedgod]

As hard as he might have tried to play things cool, Leo couldn't help the smile that broke across his otherwise perfect demeanour, or the chuckle that slipped past his lips at Rhys' comment. It was true, Leo didn't belong with the peasants, he'd always known on some level he was made of something more - something better than the rest, but so was Rhys, Leo had always told him so. Now here was the proof.

"No, I wasn't surprised. It's always been obvious, no one is born with as much talent as me." He smirked, playful as always before his eyes turned softer. "I always told you that you were made of magic too...destined for the stars and beyond." Leo said softly, his smile sweeter, honest, gentle, even a little sad at the edges as he remembered that they weren't in that place anymore. Maybe he couldn't say things like that any longer but when had he ever done anything other than exactly what he wanted?

"A few even - it has been a while." Leo joked, ring adorned fingers combing through his tussled locks before hazel eyes went straight to Rhys' own fingers buried in fiery fur, searching for that painful reminder of what had ended them. Was he still wearing a wedding ring? "When did you know?"

"Seems so...but I remember how you always were so sure that you did not belong around peasants." There was a teasing, fond tone to his words as he held the small fox a bit closer in his arms. She wasn't even his and yet in that moment Rhys needed her as a support. "So are we really that surprised you are divine?" Out of the two of them it made more sense that Leo was here than Rhys. The man always shone like he was made of gold and acted like it too. It was one of the reasons Rhysand Auclair fell for the younger man in front of him, head first with no gravity to catch him. But that was years ago. Now all that remained between them was painful stares and awkward silences.

It had been two years since Rhys last laid eyes on Leo like this. Of course he still followed him on social media and kept track of everything new Leo was up to but standing face to face like this was something he never thought he would get to do again. Rhys almost wished he was staring at a screen rather than Leo himself, it would have been much easier to confess, "you look as perfect as you always do. Did you get a haircut?"

[drxwnedgod]

Leo didn't seem even remotely phased by the other's surly attitude, focusing solely on what he wanted to know. The son of Apollo could be a charmer, win anyone over when he wanted to, but he was also utterly selfish. "Don't tell me you're all so useless? Surely you've had some time to work things out, learn a thing or two?" He questioned with an irritated frown at the response he got. It wasn't answers, didn't give him any insight into whether or not what he'd had with Rhys had been real or if it was all just some crazy fucked up god hormones. When the questions were turned back on him, Leo straightened up, a wave of his hand in a dismissal gesture suggested he wasn't going to be very forthcoming with an answer. "I just want to know if this place is going to be any fun. A fuck fest with no commitments tesoro." He replied, all lies but it wasn't often Leo told the truth.

lev was not a fan of change. in fact, lev struggled with it more than he'd like to admit. the worst was that change in this case only even was bestowed upon him, because they failed to protect their comrades. kids. like that part didn't already bug him enough, he had to deal with new kids on every new mission recently. he missed kiara & he missed greyson. he hoped they'd be able to find him & bring him back some day, but until then he was stuck with ...replacements. cheap ones, too. yeah, yeah - he should give them a chance, but lev wasn't charity & he wasn't in the mood to deal with nonsense.

last mission had been annoying as all hell, getting split had only partially saved him a headache. in hindsight, he'd rather have stayed with zeus' little group of chaos troopers. he was sat not far from the arena, his legs crossed underneath him atop a table with his eyes closed & his breath .. calm. he was .. content, it seemed, for now. that was until his solitude of peace & comfort was disturbed & rudely so. when eyes opened, they did so while forming a glare. he leapt off said table & debated just walking away, but ... it was lunch time & he brought lunch. so, with a heavy sigh, he sat back down across from the nosy kid & offered him a shrug.

"fuck if i know what's common." was it common? how the hell should he know? he had no clue what nico & him even were, least of all any other demigod couples - not that he declared nico & him a couple, who were hanging out together at camp. lev couldn't care any less about what others did in their free time, really. "what's it to ya?"

[drxwnedgod]

Well, the last thing he'd expected was for the other demigod to come right in through the window, start stripping off and grab him oh so perfectly by the hair in a way that made Leo's toes curl and the son of Apollo bite back on an involuntary moan. If every first meeting was going to be this fun from all the other demigods at camp he might just never leave. "Cazzo, do you greet everyone like this angelo?" Leo questioned with a breathy grin as he felt the other's mouth against his throat.

" For you, Hot stuff? C'mon, if you want me to take you for a wild ride, there's a spot at the top of the Apollo's cabin that I think would be perfect. " Link uses his wings to get himself inside of the other's room and quickly takes off his shirt to showcase his impeccable physique and body. A hand reaching over to Leo and gripping him hard by the hair and placing his mouth against the other's neck in sheer desire and ecstacy.

[drxwnedgod]

Leo's brow rose, a smirk pulling at his brow at the mention of growing dicks. "Dio mio, sounds like I missed the fun part." He replied with a chuckle. "Trust me, you didn't miss much. I was having fun with what must of been a clone of another demigod - but that didn't last." He shrugged one shoulder, following Silas into the nondescript store. Leo didn't waste any time listing off a collection of different designers and what he would like to try from each, while he too snatched up a glass of champagne. "They aren't? Well that's no fun - the last thing I want to be doing is any fighting." The son of Apollo looked disgusted at the mere thought of having to swing a sword or get himself dirty in any capacity. "I was hoping sex clubs and orgies were a common occurrence."

They did appear to be perfect reflections of their homes. Leo in his hard leather of variations of tones, Silas in something lose or perfectly tailored in sorter fabric. Both equally stylish but just a different region of fashion. ”Painfully so I’m afraid.” If they were closer and Silas could trust him he would point each one but he would have to experience the pains himself. ”Just be glad you stayed upstairs on that last mission. I mean I did get a bigger dick so I’m not complaining.” As they walked along the shops he pulled them into a basic shoe store. But as the doors closed and Silas showed an attendant his cuff links they were ushered to a back door. It led them to stairs of a lower level where there was a private room that connected to all of the stores above. The names of each one from Dior to Chanel and all in between. Taking a seat as he decide where he wanted to send the attendant first. ”Just let them know which store you want and they’ll pull you some things.” Taking a glass of champagne from a tray brought to them. “Just be glad that was your first quest. They’re not all as enticing.”

[drxwnedgod]

He could honestly listen to that voice forever, the sweetest melody, and he remembered when it had been all for him. Every note and soft syllable his to drink up and drown in. But not anymore.

Leo had been about to walk away, retreat back to the safety of the Apollo cabin, and tell himself that he had absolutely not run away with his tail between his legs - no never - but then he heard the pause...the way Rhys' voice caught in his throat around that simple and yet impossible question.

How indeed. Leo didn't have an answer, he didn't know what fucking joke the universe was playing on them, but he wasn't one to walk away when he'd been caught. Instead he pulled on that mask of aloof indifference and walked over to his ex, shooting Amore a glare for her treacherous ways.

"Seems we're both divine." He said unable to hide the way he just drank in the sight of his love. "You look...well?"

Rhysand hadn't seen the other's face, just the form and before he could put a face with the body that sparked something deep inside him-- there was a small little red fox trotting over to him yipping softly. The boy with his head in the stars always found the small creatures as one of his favorites how elegant they presented themselves as well as how playful and cunning they could be. A smile stretched across his face and he wasted no time picking the small fox up in his arms to coo at her. "Well you are just magnifique. You are a companion here, non? Who do you belong--" it was as if fate had decided in that moment for Rhys to glance up across at the person he had just been calling out to seconds before. There was no hiding that devil may care performance and the way that it tugged so sharply at Rhy's heartstrings. Leo. "H-how?" The question was nearly a whisper but something told Rhys that Leo had heard it anyway. Not that he was trying to hide it, he was just in shock. How the fuck was Leo here too?

[drxwnedgod]

"I'm sure." Leo replied, not that he really cared one way or the other - he didn't know Silas or Holli well enough to be invested in their relationship beyond whatever interesting idle gossip might come of it, but there was time for the son of Apollo get better acquainted with the couple. His opinions on marriage had been soured overall, not that Leo had ever really pictured himself as someone who would get married - and yet the ring stashed away amongst his belongings told a different story, but he would deny that with every fibre of his being. "Perfetto, I do love learning of new and interesting places." He smiled, following along beside Silas casually. "I'm Italian, it would be a disservice to my country to hate leather." He joked - the style being one Leo often wore, a leather jacket, pair of skin tight leather pants, all manner of delicious leather accessories for more adventurous activities - all favourites of his. "I'll teach you to appreciate it's finer qualities." He teased the other demigod with a wink as they walked. "Oh? Do tell, are the others at camp boring?"

"Oh don't worry, I'm enough to make her swoon all my own." Of course getting something for his lucky lady. Knowing her colors and measurements was the key to any relationship. He assumed, this would be his first. First drunken proposal that felt real as time passed. He would be tempted to go ring shopping while they were here if not for how archaic the whole tradition felt. He didn't want some band to mark Holli as his. Plus rings might make their prospects for side fun limited on both ends. "Oh do know a place that can accommodate all tastes perfectly." Silas hated shopping among tourist and was lucky to know a secret of Avenue Montaigne. So after hiding their ride with a glamour he took a stroll towards their destination. "Next trip we'll venture to Milan. Leather isn't my style but I imagine shopping with you could be fun. Fun being something lacking around here at times."

[drxwnedgod]

The son of Apollo wasn't quick to respond to Link's statement, instead holding up a finger as if to shush the other demigod's valid complaint while a melody suddenly struck. He hummed it out to himself before scribbling down the notes and then finally turned his attention to the other at his window. "And? The key word there is almost." Leo responded with a raised brow, as if his statement should be common sense before he gave the other a very obvious once over, gaze quickly shifting from one of irritation to charm and interest. "But if tossing fruit out of my window is going to make handsome Angeli pay me a visit I might just do it more often." He smiled.

Lincoln had been out for a run or a flight, or really both as he continued to solidify his abilities both in the sky and on the ground. It was fairly quick, Link's reflexes quickly swatted the apple to the floor as he looked at the cabin and noticed it was Apollo. Without skipping a beat, Link let his body elevate and raise with his wings and peeped into the cabin. " You almost hit me with your damn apple. " Looking over at the other, eyes narrowing in as he spotted Leo.

[drxwnedgod]

While of course Leo favoured his Italy above anywhere else, he couldn't deny how fun Paris was, especially when it came to shopping so he didn't look that disappointed as the coin landed on the former. Paris did hold a particular set of memories that the son of Apollo deliberately crushed down in favour of spending money on fabulous things. "Paris has been good to me, I can't deny it's shopping splendour, even if Milan is much better for leather." Leo chuckled as they travelled. He considered Silas' question for a moment, seeming to ponder what he was in the mood to shop for. "Why impose limits? I say all three, an outfit for every occasion. It's been a while since I broke bank." He grinned. "And how about you bello? Need something to make your lady swoon?"

"Marvelous." Although after spending just enough time in Leo's company he knew the offer would be too tempting to say no. "Now where to...hmmm...heads Paris, tails Milan."
