Jacob kicked back at the Ares table and placed his feet on top of it. The Mess Hall food was good, sure. But the eye candy? Priceless. As different campers assembled for dinner Jacob took his fair share of admiring up and down. He tapped his feet on the table as he watched people come in and out of the mess hall. Should he pick a fight? Nah. Should he flirt it up? Nah. Should he eat? Maybe. He had a free two hours from his schedule and wasn't sure what to do next. Some of his siblings had ran into the forest for some good ol' monster fighting. Several others headed to the arena while some took naps. Jacob wasn't interested in doing any of those things. It was his first day in charge of Dannys body and Jacob wanted to make it... special.

Kevin happened to miss dinner when it was actually served, but it was all worth it. He knew for a fact that the Aphrodite cabin was going to be at dinner and Kevin happened to run out of hair muse earlier that day. With his hair freshly styled and his belly grumbling, he headed to the mess hall.

He walked in with every intention of walking straight into the kitchen and grabbing something quick, but he paused at the door for a moment. There was an Ares kid also there chilling. Kevin didn't have the greatest history with that cabin, but it looked to be Danny. Danny was one of the nicer kids in that cabin, but he also had an attitude problem, since he always would lash out unexpectedly. Kevin took a deep breath as he made his way over to the kitchen, but keeping an eye out on Danny as he walked by.

Jacob noticed Kevin approaching the mess hall. As the wind blew in his direction, Jacob smelled hair product. He smirked as Kevin made his way towards the kitchen. Was Danny friends with this kid? He thought so. Danny would get a little restless when Jacob talked to friends of his, but Jacob was sure Kevin wasn't super tight with them. Jacob lifted his hand to wave at Kevin, "Hey, grab an extra plate with your free hand?" he asked calmly. Maybe Danny getting on these kids good side wasn't such a bad thing. Jacob almost laughed out loud but kept it to himself. No need to alarm the Hermes kid... yet.

[Kevin Cook]

Kevin thought he was going to make it to the kitchen without a glitch, until Danny raised his voice at him. Kevin stopped as he flinched a bit. If this attitude problem was going to cost him another good shirt, he was afraid the Aprhodites would catch onto his cabin shopping habits soon enough.

He looked over at the boy as he raised both of his eyebrows before he visibly relaxed. "Yeah, sure dude," he responded before he headed back to the kitchen. For a moment, while he was preparing his dinner, he thought of giving Danny just a bare plate, but Kevin didn't want to risk it. He didn't want to make two trips to the Aphrodite cabin in one night. He came back out of the kitchen with two plates in hand as he headed towards the Ares table.

"Here you go," he said as he handed him it before nodding to the bench right across from him. "Do you want company or no?"

[Deleted]

Jacob stood up to accept the plate and nodded his head, "Thanks." Jacob noticed what a nice shirt Kevin had. Kevin always had nice shirts. Jacob proceeded to smile as he sat down, "company sounds fine thanks." He gestured to the bench that Kevin was referring to and kept his smile plastered onto his face. Since it was technically snack time it didn't really matter what table you sat at. Not too mention, Jacob was cabin leader so if anyone had a problem they'd have to talk to him.

"Nothing wrong with having another fine gentleman do dine with, not too mention to enjoy the eye candy with." Jacob smiled as he gestured toward three girls crossing past a few feet away. Jacob couldn't name one of them, but the other two looked familiar. Maybe someone Danny knew. Shame.

[Kevin Cook]

Kevin sat down on the bench as soon as Danny said it was okay to join him. However, Kevin positioned himself strategically so that he could make a made dash for the exit if Danny's attitude problem just decided to kick in. The Hermes was pretty sure that everyone in the Ares cabin had one type of attitude problem or another. Danny's happened to be the most vicious on occasion.

Kevin started dining on his food as he glanced over to where Danny was looking at. He looked them over once before he shrugged. "I guess you can call them eye candy... some of them look like they got dressed in the dark... or their mothers dressed them." He chuckled a bit before he turned back to his food and continued eating.

[Deleted]

Jacob laughed allowed, "I like that. You have a sense of style, do you? Maybe you should come by and give my siblings some pointers. Most of them look like they used toxic waste as laundry detergent." He laughed, then he looked down at his own outfit and sighed, "not that Danny had that good of taste either." Jacob shrugged and shoved moved into his mouth. He heard a slight laughter in the back of his mind. Had he just referred to Danny has a different person?

"Gods," Jacob started, "sometimes it's hard to keep my thoughts straight." he smirked at Devin as he took a swig out of his water bottle, "so, where do you shop?" he cocked an eyebrow.

[Kevin Cook]

Kevin couldn't completely relax while he ate with the Ares boy. Bad history and a horrible collection of shirts ruined caused him to be on guard just in case attitude problems arose. However, it was so far so good. "I guess you can call it that," Kevin said with a bit of a smirk as he continued eating. He raised an eyebrow at the toxic waste comment. "You should see of my shirts they've gotten hold of. They definitely didn't use toxic waste on them." He thought for a moment as he sipped on his water. "But if I give them fashion advice, there is no guarantee that they'll take care of the clothing I give them."

Kevin thought he was treading dangerous waters. If he happened to make one comment that slightly offended the Ares cabin leader, Danny's attitude problem would most likely kick in. "I mainly shop the Aphrodite cabin," Kevin smirked a bit, deciding that it was okay that someone knew besides his siblings. "They have good things, but they cannot put together an outfit to save their lives. But I like the department stores too whenever I'm out of camp."

[Deleted]

Jacob nodded, "yeah, I've seen the way that they treat other kids. Granted, I'm not too much of an angel myself," Jacob laughed, a low creepy laugh that would've scared almost anyone. He smiled again, "they would definitely not appreciate the fashion advice. But I would," he tilted his head to the side in a respectful gesture and lifted his water bottle to Kevin and took a drink. He set the bottle down slowly, taking his time, hoping that Kevin was feeling intimidated. Jacob liked people feeling intimidated.

Jacob laughed out loud, this time it wasn't an evil laugh. He was actually amused. "Wow! From the sons of Aphrodite, I can imagine they'd have a good collection," he laughed again, "I'm sorry I can't stop laughing about how much you think that they can't put an outfit together. I guess I haven't even noticed. I guess it's something your passionate about?"

[Kevin Cook]

Kevin sat at the edge of his seat as he could feel an attitude problem coming on. He started to fear for his life, but mainly the shirt he was wearing at the moment. He didn't go through the hassle of shopping the Aphrodite cabin only for his shirt to get ruined later. That was the main reason he had to go shopping in the first place. He glanced at the door and wondered if his teleporting powers would give him enough of an advantage to outrun Danny.

“You… you would like fashion advice?” Kevin asked as he eyed Danny. He didn't look too bad, but he could definitely use a few pointers to look nicer. The problem was how to deliver those said pointers without that damn attitude problem kicking in. “Fashion is definitely… my expertise,” Kevin said as he slowly nodded his head as he pushed his tray away from himself slightly. “My siblings joke that I should be an Aphrodite, not a Hermes, but I really take after my father. I just like to look good.”

[Deleted]

As Kevin glanced at the door Jacob chose to remain nonchalant and casual. Sure, he had noticed. He had been trained to notice all things his opponent did. But, he still wasn't sure about Kevins motivation for looking at the door. Maybe he was waiting for someone, maybe he was just glancing around for fun. Jacob chose not to press the issue.

Jacob nodded, "did I stutter, Kevin?" He raised an eyebrow at the well dressed boy. He seemed hesitant about helping Jacob out. Jacob was sure it was out of fear, and that was fine with him. But, he knew he could get Kevin to give him some advice. Not that Jacob really wanted any, but he wanted some friends of his own whom Jacob hadn't taken already. Kevin seemed like a decent candidate. "Well, I would love to put that expertise to good use, and I don't think you'd fit in with the Aphrodite cabin," Jacob said, "they're far too dull, for my taste."

[Kevin Cook]

"Did I stutter, Kevin?" Kevin's heart pounded hard in his chest as he knew that attitude problem of Danny's was kicking in. Good thing he had an escape plan in place. Escaping here was easy... it was hiding from Danny and the rest of the Ares cabin until the attitude problem cooled down was another thing. He gripped his fork a little too hard as he looked at the Ares boy with cautious eyes.

"Expertise to good use.." Kevin muttered underneath his breath. His brain ran while as he felt his fight or flight mechanism kick in. "I guess I can help you dress nice," Kevin said with a small smile, trying to hide the fact that his heart was still pounding and his palms were sweating. Maybe it would be good to have allies in the Ares cabin... just in case... "When... when did you want to get started?"

[Deleted]

Once again Kevin was repeating Jacobs words, Jacob was starting to get pretty irritated with that fact. He cocked his head to the side and kept a smile of contentment on his face though, as he listened to Keven process the idea. Jacob knew that he was making Kevin squirm, and he noticed the Hermes boy gripping his fork tightly. That was too bad, Jacob was really hoping to have a peaceful lunch.

But, when Kevin finally agreed to helping Jacob out, the Ares leader leaned back slightly and relaxed his shoulders. Kevin had made a good choice. "Well, seeing as we are both obviously free right now, why don't we just get cracking right away?" Jacob cocked an eyebrow at the boy. This was going to be a fun little adventure.

[Kevin Cook]

If it was possible to squeeze a metal fork so hard that it broke it half, Kevin almost achieved it. He forced a smile at Danny as he put his fork down on the table only to grip the side of the table top. "Yeah... yeah..." he said between gritted teeth as he glanced over at the door. "Totally free right now." He sighed after a few moments once he realized that escape was pointless. He'd probably get hunted down if he tried to make a run for it.

He took a deep breath and put on a brave face as he looked back at Danny. "Do you want to go to your cabin to see what you have? Or mine? Or we can possibly shop the Aphrodite cabin..." He smiled nervously as he drummed his fingers on the table slightly.
