Masterpiece Theatre || James

[Charlotte Low]

After taking about three deep breaths Charlotte finally let herself look back at James and what he had to say. He had lost people too? She understood what that meant, most demigods had all sorts of issues. Between unwanted powers and psycho monsters constantly trying to make a four course meal out of them, it was no wonder he was yet another causality of the demigod world. "Its not fair though," she said softly, her bodies pent up feelings crashing out. "We never chose this life. The world changes but for us? Its a repeat of history, fallen heroes, we are all just tragedies ready to be written." her voice was extremely soft at the end.

She smiled slightly at his words, James had known her a total of what, a few hours? Yet he was already determined to stay in her life like that. She pop herself up on her hands, completely aware of how close she was to him leaning over her. "You are making perfect sense. I'm just.. Scared to think everything is changing I guess." It wasn't wrong, everything in her life had been so flopped as of lately she didn't even feel like herself anymore. Just like a shell." Thank you though. I really hope you don't leave." She knew that last part was true, she just didn't know why she said it.

[JAMES BEHR]

Charlotte spoke about how it wasn't fair and James nodded, agreeing. She went on about how they didn't choose this life, about how they were just a repeat of histories and fallen heroes, tragedies ready to be written and he shook his head then. "But that's just it, Char," he started, "we have to take control over the small bits of your destinies that we can. Like being here right now. This was our choice," he said, just as soft as she spoke.

She smiled a bit at his mumble about not leaving and he started to smile back, acutely aware of the short distance between them. She spoke about how he was making sense and how she was scared to think of things changing. Her thank you, and hope that he wouldn't leave, had his eyes softening for a moment but his heart beating with shock. Was he really here? Right now? In this beautiful place with this girl? It was a small miracle. "Change is scary but... as long as you have someone to help you through it, you can do anything," he encouraged. Then he did something very un-James like and lifted his hand to gentle touch a strand of hair at the side of her face. "Well, now that we're friends and I'm your personal physiatrist... you're stuck with me," he joked. Then he released, even more so, how close they were and he cleared his throat, lowering his hand away. "We should get going soon."

(these two need a new thread!)

[Charlotte Low]

Small bits of our destinies? Charlotte smiled and sighed, she liked that idea, even if it was small. John, John had been her choice at once. Along with Harper. Being cabin leader, leaving, letting roxy take control and then stepping up to leader again? All her choice. Her mom? No her choice but it was her choice to keep her memory. She nodded at his soft voice, "I like the sound of that"

When she listened to him she had realized how soft his voice was and how something in him seemed to change but she listened fully intent on his words till he had pushed back a unnoticed strand of hair she had. Charlotte actually did something she didn't know she still knew how to do. Blushed. Her face instantly heated up and while it was a small blush it was still there. That second that they were close could have lasted a eternity and she wouldn't have noticed till he finally cleared his throat and she shook off internally whatever took a hold of her. She knew better than to play the hopeless romantic it only ended badly. "Yeah we probably should." she said standing up in the cave from their centered location. Next time she would bring a blanket or something softer to lay on. As she stood up and she held out her hand to him to help him up. "Besides. I'd be lucky to be stuck with you."

(Lets do it!)

[JAMES BEHR]

James was more than ecstatic about the fact that she liked anything he was saying. That was his goal, after all, to make this girl happy and he did it. He saw her cheeks redden slightly in the dim light at his touch and his own cheeks reddened in turn. She always did that to him... but the fact that he could make her blush, too, was a small miracle to him.

Then she agreed that it was time to go and he nodded, about ready to move until she held out her hand, saying that last part, "Besides. I'd be lucky to be stuck with you." His lips parted for a moment, then he closed them and took her hand. "We're both lucky, then," he added before leading her out of the cave, not releasing her hand until the were out...

(LE END!!! We'll cbox chat about the next one <3)
