Leon let out a small laugh at her eye roll and response. He knew she liked it, he was always flirted with wherever he went. He wouldn't press her though as she was still seeming nervous about him looking at her. Watching her run her hand through her hand his smile turned more sad as she said how she got the scars. "I can understand that. POW camp, Iraq." He said idly running his hands over his arms and torso. He watched as she stretched out on the ground, noticing the slight wince she gave out. He knew that pain, sometimes the scars just kind of reminded you they existed.
Following her example, after getting another eyeful of her beauty, he laid back in the dirt and looked up to the clouds. He listened closely to her words and chuckled a little to himself. He slowly though of a response to what she said, "Why would I wince? I see the same thing everyday. Well, I don't look that good but still, it's a familiar site to me." He smiled a bit as he saw a massive pirate ship in the clouds. "Yarrrr...." He quietly whispered to himself.

Leon watched as she turned he head away as he stripped down to his pants and shoes. He thought he caught a faint blush but that was probably more from the heat then anything. He saw her staring at his chest and forming a grin on his face, he gestured to himself. "You like what you see here Frankie?" If one were to look behind the mirth in his eyes they would see some apprehension. He was still a little afraid of being judged by people for his scars. He had noticed the small ones on her face but he wasn't going to ask about them. It wasn't his business how she got them. Hearing her comment, he brushed a hand over the still scabbed up skin, starting to heal over into a scar. "Yeah, I made a mistake and I paid for it. It was just that simple."
Leon watched as she slowly peeled off the fatigue jacket that was clinging to her body, just to reveal more scars, and a black tank top. He watched with great interest as she stretched after tossing the jacket over to what he presumed to be her duffel bag. He really took in her appearance, the scars not detracting from her looks to him. In fact, they really only enhanced her beauty, making her seem that much stronger to have gone through something that left her that battered and still be around. He grinned and waggled his eyebrows at her when she finished stretching, trying to relieve some of the worry he could see in her face.

Leon put his hands up in a placating manner as he heard her mumble a sheepish grin forming on his face, "Alright alright, you win. It's a great name for a sword." His grin faded as he heard about the Ares cabin and their idea of weakness. He wasn't happy with how they thought but it wasn't his place to say anything. It wasn't his cabin, he wouldn't advise someone how to run their own business. But he had to make a joke and his smirk came back onto his face, "You're the authority in the cabin, who's idea was that?"
Leon's smirk grew as she gasped and raised her hands up to defend against the cold water, eyes closing on instinct. He heard her whispered words and wondered for a moment if he may have crossed the line and would need to start running. That was until she threw her head back and started laughing, real genuine laughter. He would never admit it of course, but he though she had a wonderful laugh. He started laughing himself after a moment. "I'm glad I could help you cool off, but now I'm getting warm myself." He wasn't sure why he did it, as he normally hid his scars from most, but there was this familiarity and comfort in her that he didn't mind. He felt she wouldn't judge him for all the scars on his body, so he shrugged of his jacket and shirt, leaving him bare chested in the sun, his scars bare for all the world to see. There were four very prominent, three from bullets that ripped though his lower right torso, tearing what used to be a kidney to shreds and then a stab on the upper left chest that was still somewhat fresh. That one was from a fight he had a week prior and was still healing up a bit.

Leon smirked as she kept checking out his car. He winked back at her as she winked at him, "The pleasure is all mine, Amelia. And she's glad you like her." He patted his car on the engine as he said this. Blinking at the idea of a weapon hidden in her boot, he muttered to himself, "Now why didn't I think of that?" He shook his head before taking the offered boot and looking over the hidden mechanism. It seemed that the tear had dislocated the spring internally, also snapping a piece off inside the pocket itself, a simple fix for him. "I'll have this done in just a second. Nice boots by the way." He walked over to the tool kit he was using nearby and grabbed out a set of needle nosed pliers, a small hammer, and a spare spring. He pulled out most of the spring with the pliers, but the broken bit was lodged inside. He quickly took the hammer and gently tapped on the pliers, dislodging the broken bit without damaging the rest of the pocket. "So how did this break exactly?" He quietly asked as he placed the new spring inside and gave it a test. It seemed to be preforming to satisfactory levels. "There you are ma'am, one fixed boot." He gave her an appraising look and found her to be more then a bit attractive. Giving her another wink he passed her boot back to her.

Leon put his hands up in surrender, "I'm not dissing your sword or your old man. I'm just saying he has a bad naming sense. Like naming a dragon Toothless or something." He heard the care in her voice when she spoke of Roscoe. It seemed she liked this little one and cared for him at least a good bit. He smiled at that. He frowned when he heard the older kids like to mess with him like that, if they weren't careful it could kill the small one. "I say you find the one who did it and give them a good thrashing. That kind of thing isn't much of a good joke in my opinion. And I think I know good jokes."
He watched her brush off her hands, complaining about the warmth of the day. What did she expect wearing fatigues? They were hot as Hades. He wondered why she didn't just deblouse and cool off like they were allowed to do on warm days like this. He shrugged a bit watching her flop down on the ground, adjusting her sword to be more comfortable. She seemed to zone out on the target she had been shooting earlier before a devious idea came to his mind. He moved to stand beside her, silently pulling out a bottle of water. He then dumped it over her head unceremoniously while saying, "A little warm are you? Perhaps this will help you cool off." He laughed a bit as he did so before flopping down beside her, pulling the rifle off his back to rest it across his lap, barrel pointed away from the young woman. There may not have been a round chambered, and the safety may have been on, but he was taught better.

He gave a laugh as the play threatened him. "Blood Seeker, what an original name. So unlike anything I've ever heard before." It was always fun to poke at the names of other peoples weapons. His was simply his baby, no formal name to speak of. His eye twitched a bit as she pinched his cheek and spoke in that baby voice, Time to get touchy, eh? Well two can play at that game. He gave her a good finger poke to the forehead after she nudged him with her elbow. "I wouldn't mind a spar some time later I suppose, but for now let's just talk."
He watched as some kid came running up and exchanged words with Frankie. Something about someone or something named Roscoe. He watched as the kid ran off to take care of the problem, hearing Frankie talk about her idiot siblings. He chuckled a bit as she sighed and let down her ponytail. As she ran her hand through her hair he took the time to admire the way she looked. She was an attractive young woman, not too much younger then himself. She had a good figure, at least in his mind. "So who's Roscoe?"

Leon's eyebrows rose at the mention of West Point, that was an impressive way to open a conversation with him. Giving her hand a firm shake he heard her mention her pet hellhound named, Who names a hellhound Walter? Crazy Ares kids. He heard her say something about eating his car and his face turned serious before seeing her grin. He grinned a bit back, "For Walter's sake, I'm glad that's a joke. Otherwise you may find yourself down one hellhound friend. That car is my baby, I love her."
Seeing her hold up a finger he watched on curiously as she threatened the campers that were whispering nearby. He laughed a bit when several of them took off running. She turned to look at him with a smug look on her face and he couldn't help but crack a joke, "I didn't know you could smile. Does that mean we have to enter the ring now? I'm still a little tender from last time I fought with a woman in the ring." He idly ran a hand over his chest where Audrey had stabbed him with a knife a week before, smirking, "Besides, I wouldn't want to ruin your tough rep by thrashing you around with my other baby." He patted a wrench by his side made from celestial bronze.

Leon smirked at her poking fun at him. This was something he had missed since he had left the military, a woman who didn't take his crap. The girls back home we all timid and submissive, except for Lillian. He didn't like that, he wanted someone to trade little jabs with and laugh about it later. It seems he had found that here at camp. "Nah, I know lots of people who shoot guns. I know several better then me. I just enjoy it more then most of them do." He shrugged a bit at that, before listening to her again. He chuckled a little at her words. He knew he had bragged a bit, and there was one other thing to brag on, just because she had asked, "Well now that you mention it. I do have a pretty sweet ride. Customized by yours truly." He put his hand out to her for a handshake, "The name's Leon, son of Hephaestus, retired US Marine. A pleasure to meet you Ms?" He let the question die off there, fully expecting the girl to answer.

Seeing the knife flying at him, he notices it will his beside him, so he just sits still and lets it impact the stone beside his head. He grabs it out of the stone and jumps down to the floor of the arena, rifle and knife in hand. He chuckled at her words, "I'd sit out of reach, if I knew where that was." He noticed she followed his advice before getting a head shot on the target. He let out a slow clap for a second, "Good job, you hit the unmoving target. I'm proud of you." Reaching her as she turned around he handed her knife back to her. His face set into a flat look, "Of course you hit the target, you listened to what I said. You knocked the arrow correctly. You want to see a real feat? I'll climb back up into the stands and split your arrow with a round from this rifle standing at the top." He shrugged his shoulders as he said this. He didn't like to brag, but his expert marksman certification said enough for him to be right.

Leon was sitting in the stands around the arena giving a final check to his rifle. He had finally made some bullets, both regular and celestial bronze to use in fighting. He had also fixed a celestial bronze bayonet on the front of the barrel. Checking his last mag he loads one of the 100-round mags into the rifle before putting the rest in his cargo pockets. Looking down into the arena he watches as a girl fires an arrow, only for it to land right in front of her. He can't help himself, he busted out laughing. The campers around him looked at him like he had signed his own death warrant. He called out to her, "It helps if you lock the arrow onto the string you know!"

Leon & Amy: I'd say friends myself, the car bonding will go a long way with Leon. He loves his baby and will enjoy talking to any who could appreciate it.
Leon & Ebonie: I'm not so sure if knowing his past would be the best, his time captured is still a raw subject for him. Hopefully that won't come up till they get to know each other better.

Pulling the filter out he tossed it to the right as he felt a tap on his left shoulder. He heard the question and rolled out from under the car and caught site of a young woman walking around his car admiring it. "Yeah, she's my baby. I dropped a lot of time into her, and I still have some great upgrades in mind for her. Next on the list, is flying." He gave a big grin at the thought of his baby flying through the air and stood up from the roller he was laying on. Pulling a rag from his pocket, he wiped some of the oil off of his hands and stuck it out for a shake. "Leon, son of Hephaestus, retired US Marine. How can I help you today, I'm guessing you aren't just exploring."

Popping the pan under the oil tank he grabbed his wrench and took off the bolt holding back the oil, catching it before it fell in. Placing it inside his jeans pocket he rolled out and checked to make sure he had all of the supplies he needed. "Oil, new filter, spark plugs, tools, air filter. I think that's all I need." Peeking back under the car, he saw the oil still flowing out strong, so he decided to go ahead and pull the old spark plugs from the engine. Hearing someone yell from the front of the forge he bangs his head on the hood of the car. "Ow, fuck me!" He turns to glare at the way to the entrance and yells out, "I'M BACK HERE!" Grumbling a little under his breath he finishes pulling the spark plugs before rolling back under the car to start pulling the filter.

Leon looked a little startled at the concept of shadow walking, er, floating. He had no idea how this would be achieved. He supposed it was most likely a product of her being a daughter of Nyx, the primordial of darkness if he remembered correctly. He nodded as she said that and truly hoped she may one day. "That would be interesting to witness. Perhaps some night, as the sun doesn't seem to be your best friend?" He chuckled to himself a bit at his little joke before looking into her black eyes and sliding his aviators up so she could see into his eyes more clearly, a dark black meeting his own bright green. He nodded his head as she told a little about her scars, opening his mouth after she had finished talking, "Yes, not polite conversation. My apologies. Perhaps sometime in the future we can talk of them, but," Here he paused, lost in a particularly bad memory of his time in captivity, before shaking his head, "it is too fresh right now I suppose. On to a, safer, topic now."
He smiled as she introduced her self before being a bit bold on his part. Quickly bringing her hand up to his mouth he placed a soft kiss on the back of it like in the old days before looking deeply into her eyes again, "The pleasure is mine, Desdemona. I look forward to our conversation today." While looking into her eyes, they were mostly dark and empty, but he thought for a second he could see something, but it was more then likely a figment of his imagination. He released her hand and leaned back looking up at the sun for a moment, hoping she would have a good start to this as he was never much for small talk and the like.
