New Faces [Accalia]

[Zeodyme Delacross]

Zeo was wondering around the camp, headed off into the woods. He was padding along aimlessly, just wandering around lost in thought. He paused in this thinking to look up at the sun through the leaves in the trees. "It's a beautiful day, lets lay down for a bit." Zeo looked around a bit more before he found his perfect setting. It was a small sunlit clearing with a dogwood tree in the middle of it. Climbing up into the lower branches of the tree, Zeo set about making himself comfortable. He also hoped that a nymph didn't reside in this tree, as he wasn't sure how she may react to him being here.

Allowing his thoughts to drift around he put his hands behind his head and looked up at the sun. "So, who can I prank today I wonder?"

[Accalia Phillips]

Accalia had been hiding out in her fort by the lake in the forest when she heard a voice outside. Was someone... was someone talking to themselves? Accalia growled under her breath. She really wasn't in the mood for company. But... there was something about that voice that interested her. Or maybe the fact that he was planning on throwing a prank. She stepped out of the thick vines, which parted ways for her, and looked around. Odd. She didn't see anyone.

Then she looked up, and there was the guy just hanging out in a tree. Accalia cocked an eyebrow at him, "Hey, you. Could you keep it down up there?" she snapped.

[Zeodyme Delacross]

Zeo looked down to find a girl walking out of some vines. She called up to him. Keep it down, did she not know he was planning a prank? This was very important, she could stand his voice for a bit. But he decided to be nice. Turning away from her for a moment he then swung upside down, grabbing the branch with his legs. Looking at her almost face to face, he smiled at her. "Now why would I do something like that? If talking this loud brought someone as beautiful as you out here, I wonder if being louder will bring out more beautiful women."

He kept smiling at this young woman before he flipped off the branch and landed in a crouch. "My name is Zeodyme, son of Hermes. May I have the pleasure of knowing yours?" He stuck his hand out for a handshake from the young woman.

[Accalia Phillips]

She took a step back as he swung upside down. He was practically eye level and he was looking like a bat. That was... odd. She sighed and shrugged her shoulders, folding her arms in front of her chest and cocking her head to one side, "I... Um..." She tried to keep a stern look on her face but she was too surprised to follow through. Her eyes widened for a moment until she shaped them into an intense glare, "that's not a good reason to go yelling above peoples secret hideouts." Whiiiiiich is now, not a secret. Now, the vines are too thick for someone to pass through without the ability to move them. Or cut them apart but that would be really mean.

When he jumped down she didn't flinch, but she didn't shake his hand either, "Accalia. Demeter."

[Zeodyme Delacross]

Zeo was a little sad that she hadn't shook his hand. He pulled it back with a small sigh. He smiled at her as she had mentioned a secret hideout. "Not so secret anymore is it? Well good for you, it really is. I don't even know how I got here." Zeo started laughing here, a kind of strange dolphin like sound. He gently rubbed the back of his head and looked at his new companion. She was pretty, much like the other girls here at camp. He smiled at her again and looked around. "So where exactly is this secret hideout of yours? I'm curious as to how you hid it." He started looking around the clearing before looking back at Accalia.

[Accalia Phillips]

"Well, that makes me glad," she said, but she didn't even bother to fake a smile. She was glad, sure, that he didn't know exactly how to get here. Or to get in her make shift hideout. She hadn't let a boy in there since... well, since Jacob. Which was a very, very long time ago as far as she was concerned. The thought made her stomach turn, and made her even more angry.

His laugh was really strange and she almost laughed along with him. She didn't. "Well, if it's a secret why would I show you how I hid it? Wouldn't that defeat the whole purpose?" She raised an eyebrow at him.

[Zeodyme Delacross]

He shrugged and smiled at her response. It was truly bad for him, as he now had no idea how to get back to camp. He looked around the clearing some more, noticing nothing out of place. He pouted a bit as she responded to him. It wasn't his fault it was a secret.

"Well right now, we are at an impasse, as far as I can see anyway. I can't get back to camp, and you can't go back to your secret lair until I leave. If I leave, I'll be paying attention to my surroundings so that I know how to find this place again. What to do?" His face adopted a pondering look to it, trying to find a way out of this problem. He crossed his arms and put a tattooed hand on his chin, rubbing it gently.

[Accalia Phillips]

Now he was pouting. Great, this guy was a jokester. No doubt from his fathers side. Still... it wasn't entirely bad to have a jokester around, especially when she'd been in such a bad mood these past few weeks and wanted to destroy everything in site. Yeah. It was getting that bad.

She bit her lip a little as she contemplated her options, "Well, I could always, you know, just blindfold you and then lead you back to camp?" a few thick vines started raising up around her, easy for blindfolding. Though. she wasn't sure that she wanted to blindfold him against his will. He hadn't done anything to really hurt her, so she shouldn't ambush him.. should she?

[Zeodyme Delacross]

Leon squinted at her and at the vines behind her that had moved. Looking between the two of them, a look of contemplation passed on his face. On the one hand, she could be being totally legit and just want to lead him back to camp so he doesn't know where her secret spot is. On the other hand, "How can I be sure you aren't just going to tie me up and then have your way with me, hmmm?" He raised and eyebrow at her and gave her a knowing smile. She didn't seem like that kind of girl, but in this day and age, you never knew.

He slowly began to back up against the only tree in the middle of this small clearing, hoping she'd stay back a bit. He was just acting scared, but she didn't need to know that. He fought to keep his smirk down and tried to look scared of her vines.

[Accalia Phillips]

Well, after that comment there was no way she was going to start taking him seriously. Though, a part of her believed that he was actually scared of the vines manifesting behind her. The vibes dropped in a split second and she's folded her arms. "fine. I will just wait until you leave before going back into my hide out."
She turned up her nose away from him.

But she felt a smile glimmer of humor playing at her lips. That was a sensation she hadn't made room for lately. But she forgot how funny Hermes kids could be. She tried to glare at him harder but she started to smile. Then she stomped her foot on the forest floor. "I'll show you if you promise not to tell!" she growled.

[Zeodyme Delacross]

He pouted again as the vines dropped and she folded her arms, turning her nose upwards. He gave a laugh as she spoke and looked her in the eye. "You'll be waiting for a long time then. I think I may just get back up into this tree here and take a snooze. Get my relax on." He smirked at her and gave a wink.

He was startled when she suddenly smiled as she was trying to glare at him before she stomped her foot on the ground, drawing his eye to it for a moment. Shaking his head and snapping his eyes back up he gave a small grin in victory. He made and X over his heart and held his hand up, "Cross my heart and hope to die. I will not tell a single person."

[Accalia Phillips]

He winked.

Typical.

She just shook her head and rolled her eyes when he said that he would just 'get his relax on'. Boys. What a joke. She looked up at the tree momentarily. Okay, okay. It didn't look like it'd actually be that horrible to take a nap in.

She raised an eyebrow at him as he crossed his heart and promised. Why was she agreeing to this? She sighed, "Okay, turn around and to the left." The thick foliage of vines, bushes and leaves started to part ways, revealing a small entry way into her secret hide out. The vines weren't open wide enough for him to see anything but green inside, but she had a sweet set up in there.

[Zeodyme Delacross]

Zeo wheeled around and looked around for something. There, where the vines were very thick at the edge of the clearing, they had parted a small ways. Leaning forwards, he tried to catch a glimpse of what lied behind those vines, but all he could see was green. He wanted desperately to make his way over there and go inside, but he didn't think that would be alright. Looking back at Accalia, he smiled. "So, you gonna give me the grand tour, or did you want me to get out of your hair? Personally I want to stay and talk, but if you'd rather me go, I'll go. Especially now that I can find my way back to where this is. I may come a knocking sometime if I can't find you in camp." He smiled at her again, a truly happy smile that she had trusted him. He teleported over to her and put his arm around her shoulders. "I feel that this could be the start of a wonderful friendship."

[Accalia Phillips]

"I'll give you a tour. It's not that grand though, mind you, it's a pretty small tent-like place," she commented blatantly. He sure was determined, saying that he'd come knocking if she wasn't around camp. "What would you knock on?" she cocked an eyebrow at him with a playful smirk. Truthfully, she would be able to hear if he just yelled out since there wasn't really anything to knock on, but she wasn't going to tell him that.

Suddenly, he appeared next to her with his arm around her shoulders. She gave a little yelp and shoved him, side-stepping away, "Woah, woah," she said with a fierce glare, "No touchy!" She growled. She growls a lot lately, she noticed.

[Zeodyme Delacross]

Zeo stumbled back a bit as she pushed him and stepped away. He made a mental note not to try anything like that again. Putting his hands up in surrender he nodded his head as she growled at him. The growl made him pause for a second though. Kinda sexy if I do think so myself. This just go more interesting.

He stepped back over to where the entrance was and tried again to peer inside, still only seeing green. "It doesn't matter how bit the space is, it only matters how you use it." He pauses for a moment to ponder her query, looking around the clearing. Once again spotting the tree that drew him here in the first place, he walked over and put a hand on the bark. Giving it a gentle knock, he found the sound to be pleasant. "This, I would knock on this. Unless you'd rather I just rattle the vines there, maybe tie a bell on one of them?" He gave her a cheeky grin and stepped back beside the entrance. "Ladies first of course."
