Hot Date...Literally | Lydia

[Virginia Grace]

This was great. Genie certainly hadn’t expected things to take this turn and yet here she was with an amazing girl who really liked her. Asking her out hadn’t even been as hard as she thought it would be either. It just kind of happened. All in all she couldn’t have been happier and it showed on her face. “Well you might have a reformed strawberry thief on your hands before too long.” She said with a slight blush. “I’ve found that you can be pretty persuasive.”

The Hephaestus girl’s mind was overloaded with possibilities as Lydia turned towards to iPod. She was definitely going to have to think about the next step for them but for now she was just interested in enjoying this moment a little longer. “We could. The music is nice and my dance partner is better.” She smiled at her again thinking that she could probably do this all night so long as Lydia was interested but Lydia was the important component here not the dancing. “We could do something else if you wanted though. Really it’s just fun getting to know you.”

A reformed strawberry thief? That wasn't what Lydia was aiming for, but she figured that would at least make the other day not so bad. Not like she got into trouble not catching the strawberry thief in the first place, but her siblings did give her a hard time over it. She giggled a bit as she shook her head. "I don't think I'm that persuasive," she said as she looked at Genie. "But I guess I'll take making you a reformed strawberry thief."

She was about to head over to the ipod though to change the song when she paused for a moment and turned back to look at Genie with a raised eyebrow. "Did you have anything in mind?" she asked as she tilted her head to the side. "Because there's a couple of board games back in my cabin that I can grab and you can tell a lot about a person with the way they play Monopoly."

Reformed or not Genie was happy Lydia liked her. The girl was smart, pretty and fun to be around. Those were a lot of good things and Genie didn't think she could be blamed for wanting to reform just a little at least from her strawberry nabbing. If Lydia started bringing her some this would have been a done deal but there was still time to figure all that out.

As for their plans for the rest of the evening Lydia's boardgame idea sounded perfect. The rest of the ipods could wait, the strawberry picker could wait. Right now she wanted to see if Lydia's theory about Monopoly was true. "Are you trying to use some psychology to poke around in my brain?" She said teasingly. Truthfully she wouldn't mind Lydia poking around in a few other places but for now she didn't mind learning a little more about the girl over a friendly game. "But yeahe Monopoly sounds great. You've got to tell me what you find out about me though." She grinned real big and twirled a strand of her hair around her finger. "So to your cabin them?"

“Guilty,” Lydia said while she smiled a bit sheepishly, but it slowly turned a bit mischievous instead. “But it's a good social experiment to see how people behave. Like the quiet person could turn so aggressive when given the power and money.” She shrugged her shoulders. “I doubt you'll be someone power-hungry, but it'll be fun to see regardless.

But going back to her cabin to play boardgames sounded like a perfect way to end their evening. Besides, Lydia had a real date with this girl soon and she might as well got to know her as well as she possibly could. “I could probably do an entire analysis on you if I get carried away,” she said with a giggle as she reached out to give Genie her hand. “You want to go then?”

[Virginia Grace]

At least Lydia was honest about wanting to test her theories out on her. Genie supposed that wasn’t really bad. The girl liked psychology after all and it was only natural to examine someone you were interested in. Was she a good psychological match for Lydia? Was that even a thing? There was only one way to find out and if it involved spending some more time alone with the girl then that was alright with her.

“Guess I’ll have to be on my best behavior then.” Genie smirked at the girl. “I warn you though I play to win.” She gave Lydia a playful wink letting her know that this was going to be fun. It would be fun to find out what Lydia thought of her but she might try to hold it back from her. Genie really didn’t mind either way but she might have to try some persuasion if the Dionysus girl started holding back. For now though she was anxious to get started. “Yeah, come on. I want to see how good you really are at Monopoly.”
