Lesbihonest (Starla)

[Saphron Yates]

Saphron wasn't that much of a fighter. She liked doing her spells and magic and working on ceremonies for her mother than actual fighting. Saphron did know a bit of offensive and defensive magic, but Chiron still wanted her to practice with a real weapon, which was a big bummer for her. She first had to find her sword in the mess of her room. It was enchanted to look like a wand when she wasn't using it, but a stick easily got lost in her room. She finally found it under Theo's clothes before she made her way to the arena.

She stood there at the entrance for a few moments as she watched everyone. She had no clue what she was doing and she was pretty sure that she needed to fight some dummies, but at the same time, she didn't know how to use her sword. Her eyes searched the arena before they settled on someone who looked like they knew what they were doing. She walked over to the with a big, friendly smile on her face. "Hey you," she called out to the girl she picked. "Do you know how to use a sword?"

There was rarely a time you couldn't find the daughter of Poseidon in the arena. While other demigods fooled around all over camp, she spent her time training like a dedicated soldier. Everyone in her life would tell her she didn't need to train, she was already the best fighter at camp. This meant nothing to her, though. She would never be happy with her skills, no-matter how good they were.

Starla liked to practice with every weapon regardless of how much she liked it. In her opinion it was best to be comfortable with all weapons, as a situation may appear where you only have a weapon you never trained with. Spears, bows, daggers, you name it. If it could kill than she would train with it.

Today, however, she had returned to her personal favorite: the sword. She loved the closeness of swords, much more personal than that of long-range weapons like the bow and arrow. Daggers could suffice, but they didn't land with nearly as much power as that of a sword. The weapon was like an extension of her body as she practiced, managing to both graceful and terrifying at the same time.

Just as she was about to take another swing at the dummy she was interrupted by some smiling blonde. Starla immediately frowned, facing the girl. "What does it look like?" she asked sarcastically, sheathing her sword. She crossed her arms over her chest as she looked over the girl. Certainly didn't look like she had any idea how to use a sword.

[Saphron Yates]

The girl that Saphron picked out from the arena seemed to be the only one who knew how to work a sword, plus she was just a little bit pretty. Saphron couldn’t help but be a little bit biased in selecting her to ask. However, she was not planning on the girl not acting so nice to her back. Saphron was taken aback as she blinked a couple of times before a cheeky smirk crept onto her face.

“It looks like you might need a chill pill or something,” she said before she laughed a bit. She looked down at the sword in her hand as she looked up at the girl. “I don’t like swords. Well… I really don’t like things that penetrates other things.”

[Deleted]

The blonde smirked at her after the initial shock before replying with a snarky comment. Was this girl looking for a fight? Not many people were brave enough to interrupt Starla and then sass her. Maybe she was just stupid. She was going to tell her to just fuck off as clearly the blonde's only intention was to irritate her. Her next comment though was slightly amusing. Starla couldn't help to smile slightly, only lasting a second before the seriousness returned.

"I only like the swords that kill," she said with a completely straight face. Boys disgusted her and penises were even worse. Weird fleshy mushrooms of hell. A girl, though... She could appreciate girls. They were literal perfection in her opinion, but she just didn't have the time for romance. That or she was afraid of the inevitable heartbreak. "A good sword can save your life. Boys... not so much,"

[Saphron Yates]

So Miss Cranky Pants could smile. Saphron couldn't help but feel a little bit victorious over that. But she knew this girl meant trouble if she happened to offend her, which Saphron tended to do a lot, then it could have meant trouble for the girl. But things seemed to take a turn at Saphron's sword comment. This was a good thing. If she didn't die, it was definitely a good thing.

"I think the boys would beg to differ," Saphron said with a bit of a smirk. "They fling their dicks around so much that they think they can conquer anything." She laughed for a moment as a smile grew on her face. "But I would like to see them to take on monsters without their pants on." She raised her eyebrows at the girl anyway as a smirk settled onto her face. "But I would rather take a sword than a penis any day."

[Deleted]

Starla raised an eyebrow as the girl continued on. She remained cold and serious like a soldier, slightly entertained but not willing to show it. "Good. We're in agreement then," she said with a short nod. "Though I'd like to see a boy try to whip out his 'sword' around me. Doubt it wouldn't hold up against my blade." It could've easily been taken for a joke, but the girl was entirely serious. She wouldn't hesitate to cut off a penis if needed.

"I'm Starla," she said curtly, extending her arm for a handshake. She wasn't exactly one for small talk or dragging things out unnecessarily. She preferred to get straight to the point. Time isn't exactly expendable. The more time she spent dilly dallying the less time she could spend training, which could ultimately change the results in a life or death situation.

[Saphron Yates]

Saphron smirked at the girl’s comment before she said, “That would one embarrassing trip to the infirmary for him and he’d probably be the camp laughing stock forever. I don’t know how you would live having your dick cut off.” But Saphron already made the judgement that this girl was cute, but also very witty even if she acted more serious than she needed to be.

“And I’m Saphron,” she said with a bit of a smile to her face before she nodded her head towards Starla’s sword. “So can you teach me how to use a dick-chopper or is there a special sword for that?” She looked down at her sword. “I don’t know if I want to get my sword dirtied with penis blood. It’s much too shiny for that.”

[Deleted]

She snorted, shaking her head in amusement. "I'll take you under my wing," she agreed a bit wearily. The girl was funny. She could admit that much, though not aloud. Starla would rarely confirm her approval of people to their face and if she did then it would be begrudgingly.

"Ever used a sword before?" she asked, hoping that the blonde wasn't at a complete loss. She had to know where to start at least rather than just throwing Saphron into the midst of a battle, even if it wasn't a real one. The girl didn't particularly want to teach someone, but the benefits of training with others compelled her to help.

[Saphron Yates]

Saphron smiled widely as Starla said she would take her underneath her wing. Saphron knew that wasn’t the only thing she wanted to be underneath. Her smile turned into a smirk as she looked down at her sword, which she silently named Dick Chopper. Theo would go white in the face once he learned her sword’s name. That was one interesting conversation she would have with her brother eventually.

But she looked back up at Starla and acted like she was insulted. “Ever used one?” she asked as she straightened up a bit. “I do know that the pointy end goes into the bad guy and that I hold it by the not-so-pointy end. And that I can swing it around a bit.”

[Deleted]

Starla rolled her eyes, muttering a curse under her breath. Great, she had to deal with this sass. At least, she hoped it was sass. She would be even more irritated if the girl was being serious. I mean, how can you live at camp Half-blood and not know how to wield a sword?

"You best be joking," she grumbled, a small frown upon her face. "But yes. The point faces your opponent while you hold the hilt. The blade should strike your opponent with a good amount of force." Even if the girl was being serious, Starla intended to correct her.

[Saphron Yates]

Saphron raised her eyebrows and smirked as she could tell that got under Starla's skin. She wanted to know how to fight with a sword, but she wanted to tease Starla and maybe share a bed with her. She couldn't help but smirk a bit as she gently swung her sword and she looked down at her. "Right..." she said as she looked back up at Starla. "Blades and hilts. And force. I like force." She looked at the girl and winked before she said, "So... what is the first thing I should know about handling a sword? I mean the weapon and not a sword, although I would like to see Dick Chopper in action."

[Deleted]

The girl scrunched her nose as Saphron winked at her. Was she... flirting? She hoped not, as Starla wasn't exactly sure how to deal with that. Fighting was easy, feelings not so much. So she chose to ignore the rather vulgar statement, focusing on the blonde's question instead. She hummed lightly to herself as she withdrew her own sword, a simple yet deadly weapon. She didn't see the point of having a 'pretty' sword. Having embellishments wouldn't help in a fight, being a nuisance if anything.

"The sword may be held by your hands, but your stance is the most important part." She explained, getting into a defensive position as an example. "Feet apart, knees slightly bent. Keep your core tight. If you're lower body isn't balanced than you'll easily be disarmed or injured." She had gotten into her 'mode' now. All of her focus was centered on her movements, swinging her sword with ease at an imaginary enemy.

[Saphron Yates]

Saphron's look fell from her face slightly as Starla scrunched up her face. Did she not swing that way? Saphron swore that Starla hated guys or at least their dicks. And here was Saphron completely dick-free. Did she not like to flirt? All those thoughts ran through Saphron's head just as she realized that the girl was trying to tell her something about stance. Right. Stances. That was a thing in fighting. Saphron was starting to regret actually focusing on training with a sword than her actual magic.

"Feet apart," Saphron muttered underneath her breath as she repeated everything Starla said and got into position. It was very awkward for the Hecate girl, especially since she didn't know how to use her weapon unless she absolutely needed to. At this rate, her magic was a better ally than her dick chopper. "Wait... core? Like an apple?" She straightened up a bit. "How do you tighten up an apple?"

[Deleted]

She watched diligently, sharp eyes following every one of the girl's movements like a hawk watching over it's prey. Her serious demeanor was once again faltered, the corners of her lips curling upwards the slightest bit. Saphron's ignorance was more entertaining than annoying, though it certainly was a bit of the latter.

"No, not the fruit." she corrected, still smiling slightly. "The core of your body. Your abdomen and lower back, really. Here, I'll show you." She lifted her shirt with the hand unburdened by her sword, stopping just below her breasts. Starla flexed her abdominal muscles, slightly proud of her fit body but not trying to show off precisely. "If you keep your core tight you'll support your spine and maintain good form." She dropped her shirt back down, relaxing her muscles once more. Hopefully the blonde would understand, as Starla most certainly wasn't a fruit.

[Saphron Yates]

Saphron's eyes widened as Starla lifted her shirt up to give her a very clear view of her stomach. Her very toned, very sexy stomach. A very sexy stomach that she could get down with being underneath. If that was what a core was... "Sign me up," she muttered underneath her breath as she seemed transfixed by the girl's stomach. She suddenly liked cores. Apples had nothing on Starla.

But then that beautiful sight was taken away from her as Starla let go of her shirt. Saphron blinked a couple of times as she looked up at the girl and smirked. "Right, cores," she said with a bit of a smirk as she winked at Starla. "I can get behind that. So that helps someone fight as good as you?"
