She finally told him. A secret that she had been carrying around for years and only their parents really knew about it. Even then, Danielle never told them the complete details. But she looked at her brother as he processed the information. Maybe he would understand now why she didn't like dogs and even feared them and maybe would stop pressing the entire Timber issue all together. She pressed her lips together as he seemed to take the news pretty well, but she thought he was probably kicking himself over it. Even though he was just her twin, she thought he also viewed himself as her protector as well.
"I'll try," she said simply as she nodded her head slightly. It wasn't something as simple as he'd be there and she'd no longer be afraid. It was something much deeper, but she appreciated what Drake was trying to do. "And I know Timber isn't... he isn't like that... but it really doesn't help when he's barreling towards me... it does... I don't know... flashbacks or something... it just doesn't help."

"It's definitely going to be," Danielle agreed as she nodded her head as she finally decided to focus her attention on the salad for once since she sat down. But she ate with a satisfied smirk. This dream of hers was so close to being a reality and that was so exciting. Almost too exciting that she found it a little bit hard to really eat when she was feeling all giddy inside. But once she was mostly done, she thought she could focus on the plan on hand.
"So I guess it's a matter of rallying up the troops and making the plans more solid," she said as she finally set her fork down. "It really shouldn't be too hard, honestly. I know a lot of the campers are pretty athletic around here and they probably want a chance to show off their talents."

Danielle pressed her lips together as she kept glancing off to the side. Drake was really going to press the issue and she was no way comfortable telling him about it. But they kept walking and he kept acting like it was a big deal. And it was to her, but she really didn't see a reason why she needed to get Drake involved. There was literally no solution to her problem instead of just avoiding it. She looked back at her brother as she raised her eyebrows at her twin while the look on her face clearly said you really want to go there?
But she sighed as she reached up to push the hair out her face before she finally caved. "I was attacked by a dog when I was six, okay," she finally admitted as she glanced at Timber for a moment. "You weren't there because you were at a curling match or something. But a dog attacked me and bit my arm up pretty good. That's why I don't like dogs, Drake."

Danielle visibly shook at the idea of Timber biting someone because of her. She didn't wish that upon anyone, even her worst enemy. Sure, Timber wouldn't attack anyone unprovoked, but the idea of it just unsettled her. She crossed her arms over her chest as she looked uncomfortable with how this conversation was going and where it was going. She bit the corner of her lip as she took a couple of deep breaths.
And then Drake finally asked it. The million dollar question. Danielle shifted her arms a bit as she looked off to the side before she muttered just loud enough for him to hear, “Never mind. It's not really that important. You wouldn't understand.” And he wouldn't understand and she really didn't expect him to, at least, not now.

“You do have a point there,” Danielle agreed before digging into her salad she had forgot about for a moment. “It probably wouldn't be too hard to convince Fin to put on a show. I swear he's the type to do anything to make sure she's happy.” And if Cheyenne could get on board with the idea, then the Olympics were bound to happen and that made her more and more excited about it.
“And I'm just a figure skater,” Danielle replied back as she rose her eyebrows. “But maybe if we can get that word out and drum up some more interest, then it won't just be you and me presenting. If they can see how many people are interested, then it's very hard for them to say no.”

“Maybe just give Cheyenne the gold without her having to hurt anyone? That way she has more bling she can add to her collection,” she said with a bit of a smirk. “Besides, I think Fin would just let her win since she'd get completely intense.” Fin was probably the only person sane enough to go up against Cheyenne in the first place. But the more they talked about it, the more it seemed like this crazy idea of hers could completely become reality.
And the best part? Tawny seemed completely on board with the idea. Danielle smiled widely as she nodded her head. “Yeah, definitely. I think we need to iron out the details, but I'd like it if you'd join me to present it to Fin.”

“Hurt his feelings?” Danielle repeated as she rolled her eyes. She highly doubted that Timber could understand what they were saying let alone hurt his feelings. Then again, Danielle swore that her brother was heads over heels for that dog. “I don't think he's that defenseless,” she quipped back before she looked down at Timber and shook a bit. “I mean, have you looked at his teeth lately? Not defenseless.”
Okay, she was maybe being a little harsh towards the dog and even though Drake had a pretty good control over Timber, Danielle knew exactly what dogs like Timber were capable of. Quite too well. She rolled her eyes again before she said, “I doubt he'll come to my aid when we have the entire legion as well.”

"She might be down for it as long as we can promise karate being one of the sports," Danielle said with a shrug. "She'll probably pull Fin into it as well since he has a karate background as well. But I think he'd be better off approaching her about the idea since I just have a feeling that I'd manage to rub her the wrong way." But this idea she had of hers was looking promising for once, which was more than exciting. Especially since she sort of had the framework for everything slightly planned out.
"Coliseum, Fields of Mars, the skating rink," Danielle rambled as the ideas started pouring out. "We can even venture into the lake or even the river for some of the water-based sports. We just have so much potential here and we're wasting it and I know some legionnaires leave because of it... so this is a good way to keep almost everybody happy, you know?"

"I highly doubt it," Danielle said as she rolled her eyes. There was no way that Timber had a cleaner mouth than she did. "Dogs like to sniff at and eat poop, remember. And I don't think you brush his teeth at all." She kept a careful eye on Timber, not knowing if he was going to turn his attention back to her again and give her more of those so-called kisses that Drake apparently loved. But she let out a breath she didn't realize she was holding once Drake put the leash on Timber. At least the dog was more controlled than before which helped calm down Danielle's nerves a lot.
"Oh trust me," she said as she eyed Timber before looking up at her brother. "It's a lot easier to resist that face than you think." But she nodded her head as she smirked a bit. "Oh, you're my hero!" she said sarcastically as she rolled her eyes before she resumed walking before she was attacking. "C'mon. Let's go."

Timber was licking her arm and it was the grossest thing ever. Danielle whined a bit as she tried to move away from the aggressively friendly dog. For some reason, Timber just knew that Danielle hated dogs, so he liked to focus much of his affection on her. Affection that she didn't want and freaked her out. But she wasn't under attack long before Drake was to the rescue with pulling the dog away.
She stayed in position for a few moments before she straightened up a bit. Her face was completely disgusted as she wiped the dog drool off her arm and onto her pants. She looked over at her brother as she cringed. “Why do you even let him lick you? You don't know where his mouth has been.”

It was a bit silly of Danielle to confide in Tawny about her dream when a little bit ago she was almost the victim of a hit and run. But she knew her parents thought it would be a ridiculous idea and Drake would probably have no interest competing at an Olympic level. And to be honest, Danielle didn't really have that many friends around camp.
But Tawny thought it wasn't a stupid idea, which made Danielle very relieved. She relaxed as she dug into her salad again. “I think we'd have some interest in it. Probably not enough to fill every sport but enough to justify having one. I might bring it up with the Praetors… well, maybe just with Fin since Cheyenne always seems… grumpy whenever I see her.”

Danielle shrugged her shoulders a bit. "Ice dancing is just a lot of footwork, which isn't something I like and for pairs..." She had to roll her eyes a bit as she laughed. "I would actually have to find someone who could keep up with me and trust. I mean, half of the time I'll have whoever flinging me around, so I gotta trust him that he can actually skate and throw someone without hurting them." She pressed her lips together. An idea had been weighing on her in the back of her mind and she wondered if it was actually a possibility. Besides, Danielle wanted to compete by herself, not share the glory with someone else. At least, not yet. She put her fork down as she looked at Tawny. "Do you think people would be interested if we created a demigod-only Olympics around here?"

Danielle looked over at the group of men as she noticed how they were gesturing towards her brother as she looked back at him and raised an eyebrow. "What have you done this time to make them so mad?" she asked. "I have blades that are pointer than their brooms. I can loan them to you if you need them, just don't get blood on the leather. I don't want to break in a new pair of skates." Breaking in new skates always meant at least a week's worth of blisters for Danielle and that was something she didn't feel like getting, especially since she was so close to mastering the Triple Axel.
"I'm nowhere close to perfecting that jump, Drake," Danielle said with a bit of a huff as she followed Drake outside. "My landing is all over the place. It's one of the hardest jumps in the entire discipline and only few can truly perfect it and I'm just so close..." And she was about to say more about her Triple Axel before her eyes opened and she screamed. It was Timber, Drake's dog, making a beeline straight towards her. She didn't know why he owned the dang animal in the first place when he knew how she felt towards dogs and, of course, the stupid dog took a liking to her. She nearly dropped her bag as she immediately tried to make herself as small as possible as she covered her face. She didn't want these so-called kisses from Timber. They were nasty. "Dammit, Drake!" she called out behind her hands. "Control your dog!"

She had to laugh a bit. "Well, I guess Drake kind of acts like a middle age guy sometimes. I guess that's why he fits in just fine." She rolled her eyes a bit. "I just know he just likes pushing big rocks and using brooms... it's honestly a very odd sport and I have no idea why it's even one."
Danielle froze for a moment when Tawny mentioned the Olympics. That was something that Danielle wanted to do and she would've done anything in her power to do, but she also knew that it was something out of her power. She shook her head as she looked down at her salad for a moment before looking up at Tawny. "Olympics are kind of out of the question," she said a bit softly as she shrugged her shoulders. "Our parents are hardcore legionnaires and they want us serving before we think of anything else and I know I'll be out of my prime when my time here is done."

Danielle rolled her eyes as she skated towards the edge of the rink and grabbed her blade guards. She held onto the the edge of the rink as she put the guards on her blade before she walked off the rink. "What?" she said as she looked over her shoulder and smirked at her brother. "You can't take on a group of grown men with brooms?" She never really understood the sport, but it was something that her brother seemed to enjoy, even if she thought it was a silly sport. She walked over to the bench where she had her dufflebag as she sat down to take off her skates.
"I could've spent a few more if my brother wasn't going to be mobbed down by curlers," she said as she looked up at him and chuckled before she shook her head. "Nah. Nothing's hurt and I didn't break my tailbone. Thankfully. Last thing I need is to be sidelined by an injury." Once her skates were off, she put on her tennis shoes before she stuffed her skates into her bag and flung it over her shoulder as she stood up. She looked over at him as she raised her eyebrows at him. "You ready to get going then?"
