It worked! Kristin wasn't exactly sure what convinced Percy to play a game with her. Maybe it was her pleading expression, or maybe he realized how pretty she was. Either way, after a pretty long pause, he answered that a game could be fun. She beamed at him, her hand squeezing his as she pulled him over to where the games were. The games were simple and easy and Kristin went to one of her favorites. Chess. It was a classic game of strategy and she was extremely curious to see how Percy would fare at something like this. It didn't hurt that she could see Anaya behind Percy, her attention entirely arrested by him. Good. She could watch the two of them play and be entirely jealous. Kristin would love that, even though she wouldn't show it. Anaya spent more time with Percy than anyone else, after all. She could share him tonight. She didn't have a choice. So the two played the game, Kristin intentionally not doing as good as she could. Her main goal was to keep the game going as long as she could. She smiled and flirted, teasing Percy and doing basically anything she could to try and get him to smile. That would be the ultimate success tonight. Eventually, despite her discreet attempts to drag the game out, she lost. "Wow, you're amazing at that game," she flattered, "But that was fun. Do you want to play a different game?" Hopefully he enjoyed himself enough that he'd say yes. Kristin watched him hopefully. anaya isobel mornePERSEUS CAREW(I switched the order. It's a lot easier for me this way)

This party wasn't what Anaya hoped for at all. While she was glad that Perseus was here and socializing (even if it was with Kristin), at the same time she didn't like it. She wanted to talk with him or maybe even dance with him, if he was in the mood. However, Perseus seemed perfectly content to spend the party with Kristin. Or at least the beginning of it. He and Kristin walked over to where the games were and Anaya's expression fell. He hadn't even looked for her. Maybe he hadn't heard her call his name a few minutes ago. Anaya tried to focus on the guy in front of her. She must have done decently because he asked her to dance. Anaya wasn't particularly good at dancing, but when she glanced over to see the back of Perseus' head with Kristin giggling and flirting in front of her, she agreed. He was a good dancer, Mark. He actually gave her some tips and helped make her feel comfortable. She talked with him for a bit after their dance ended, but soon enough another girl came, asking him to dance with her. That was when Anaya looked back to Perseus. Kristin seemed to be pleading with him for something and even though she couldn't see his face, she realized she didn't want to be here anymore. Mark wasn't around to distract her, and it hurt that Perseus hadn't even tried to look for her this whole time. Maybe it was juvenile of her, but she didn't want to stay. All Anaya wanted to do was go to bed. So she walked past Perseus and Kristin, to where the exit was. She didn't glance at them, pretending like she didn't notice they were there. Somehow, that made walking past them easier. At the same time, it just made her want to cry, which was pathetic. She was pathetic, and ridiculous. She had no claim on Perseus. If he wanted to spend the whole party with someone, it shouldn't affect her. She'd try to prepare herself for this at the next party, but tonight. She had to go. She couldn't stay any longer.

The game was fun, as it turned out. At least, more fun that agonizing over being there in the first place. And Kristin did make it easy to enjoy the game. He was out of practice, yet she still allowed him to feel like he could contribute something. That was nice. He hadn’t thought that he would be able to feel at ease, if only a little, bit with someone so soon. Maybe with was Kristin’s disarming smile, or the way she laughed when ever he said something mildly funny, but he was enjoying his time with her. After a while Anaya walked past the two playing their game. He looked up at her hopefully, if only to see her smile, but she passed by as if she didn’t even know he was there. A little deflated, he turned back to the game with Kristin. ”Actually, I did enjoy that game. I think I could be up for another one.” If Anaya wasn’t going to stay, he didn’t have to either... but he kind of was enjoying Kristin. So... he would stay for a little while longer at least. Then, tomorrow maybe, he could let Anaya know how much he missed her. Kristin Amelia Chaunceyanaya isobel morne

He had to be having a good time. Percy talked with her, making jokes every so often as they talked and joked around. She loved having his attention focused on her. He was the most handsome guy in Excalibur, which made it a big accomplishment that she was able to get him to spend time with her, especially since Anaya was here. That girl was so clingy it was almost pathetic. Kristin kept an eye on her as she danced and spoke with others, wondering when she'd come and try to pull Percy away. Kristin knew that Anaya knew where they were. Then she was headed their was. Of course she was. Kristin took a deep breath to prepare herself to lose Percy, but Anaya just walked right on by! She didn't even glance at Percy, who was looking at her. How perfect. She smiled widely in triumph, though she tried to tone it down when Percy looked back to her. He said yes!! This time, Kristin let herself beam at him. "Oh, perfect! Do you want to play this one again, or maybe something else?" She would do whatever he wanted, as long as she could convince him to stay with her. Kristin could hardly believe her luck. The one person who might have been able to pull Percy away just walked out. It was perfect. PERSEUS CAREW anaya isobel morne

A few hours, conversations, and bouts of laughter later Percy found himself happy and excited. Excited at the prospect of having a new friend, and the possibility that she might be more than a friend.
”Kristin, I had a really good time tonight.” He said as they wandered away from he party, toward his rooms. He had suggested that they leave as he was getting tired. ”Better than I thought was possible. I have you to thank for that.” He finished. Looking down at her lips, slightly smiling, he decided that if he wanted this to be something more, there was really no reason to wait.
So he bent down and kissed her.
As he pulled away slowly, he smiled. ”So thank you.”

Perseus Carew was in a good mood and Kristin knew it was all because of her. She'd been able to make him laugh and feel comfortable, and she could hardly believe how late he stayed at the party with her. As they started to walk away from everyone else, he said he had a good time. Kristin giggled and looked over at him, delighted by the turn this was taking. "I had a good time too. You're a lot more fun than I think you give yourself credit for, Percy," she teased. He was looking at her lips. Kristin was fairly certain of it and she had to keep herself from squealing in delight. He was actually thinking about kissing her! Then he did. Kristin kissed him back, moving closer to him as her heart raced. He pulled away and she smiled up at him. "Do I only get one thanks? Because ... I wouldn't mind another one," she teased, leaning closer again as she looked at his lips this time. She bit her lip for a second before adding, "I ... think I might really like you, Percy." Yes, she was being forward. Hopefully it was something he'd like. PERSEUS CAREW

She kissed him back. That was nice. At least he wasn’t reading the signs wrong. That would be sad if he had rusted so much after only a few months. Granted it had been the hardest few months he had ever gone through but still.
”I think I have a few more thank you’s In me.” Percy said with a smile, enjoying the thrill he felt when he wrapped his arm around her waist. She told him she might really like him, and he thought about responding. Telling her he liked her as well, but... he wasn’t sure if that was true. But he was not opposed to seeing where this could go.
So he kissed her again. And again.

TIME JUMP- NEXT DAY Anaya couldn't remember the last time she'd slept so poorly. She spent most of the night overthinking that stupid party. One moment she was furious at Percy for not noticing her at all, the next she was blaming herself for not at least saying hi. Honestly, she was disappointed. She thought that maybe she and Percy would be able to have some fun last night. Instead, she didn't know how much of it he spent with Kristin. Ugh, Kristin. She wandered around camp the next morning, early. Anaya didn't really have anywhere to be, but she couldn't sleep, so she didn't want to pretend like she could. She wasn't really sure where she was going either. A few people were already awake, but not enough for her to talk to any of them. Ugh, she really just wanted to find Percy. PERSEUS CAREW

It was a beautiful morning Percy woke up to. The sunlight streamed in his window and he was a little sad that Shenya couldn’t be here to share it with him. But maybe Anaya could. So he got up, dressed, and grabbed a slice of bread. he ate as he walked to Anaya’s house, but she wasn’t there. So he wandered in the direction she general took when leaving her house.
It wasn’t long before he ran into her.
”Anaya! I’ve been looking for you.” He walked up to her with. ”I tried to say hi last night, but you left pretty quickly. Was everything okay?” He reached her and pulled her into a hug. He found, specially recently, that a hug from Anaya could push back many of his dark thoughts. He didn’t know why, but he wasn’t about to complain.

Anaya jumped a little when she heard Perseus calling her name. She turned, smiling instantly. Why was he so cute? "Well, I've just been around!" she said with a smile. He asked about last night, pulling her into a hug before she had a chance to answer. Anaya melted into it, hugging him back tightly as she tried to get her feelings under control. "Sorry I didn't get the chance to talk with you," she muttered against his shoulder. "I just wasn't in the mood to party, I guess." Not while he was busy spending his time with Kristin. She pulled away, forcing a smile. "Did you have a good time? I- I saw you with Kristin at first. You two have fun?" From what she saw, he had, but she wasn't going to say that. PERSEUS CAREW

He wasn’t really surprised to hear that she hadn’t been in a mood to party. He hadn’t either until Kristin had cheered him up. Then she pulled away from him and gave him a smile that looked a little fake.
”Actually, I did, which was surprising. Kristin was ... really fun to hang out with. I had no idea that she would be. But we are actually going to go for a walk tonight, so I mean, I would say last night went rather well.” He smiled as he said it, remembering the feel of her lips on his. He wondered if they would kiss again tonight or if they really would go on a walk, talking about things, getting to know each other. What ever they were going to do, he didn’t have to think about it now. Now he was with Anaya and he wanted to be fully here with her. She was his best friend after all. She deserved his full attention.

Anaya's heart sank as he started talking about his night with Kristin. His smile seemed more real than it had in a while, which made her feel a little guilty. Apparently Kristin was better for him that Anaya was. Ugh, she needed to stop thinking like this. It wouldn't help anything. "I'm glad you had a good time Percy. Really, I am." Hopefully he would believe her. "So ... you have any other plans for today before your walk with Kristin?" Maybe Anaya would go flying with Illyana tonight. That should be enough to distract her from the fact that her best friend might be dating Kristin ... or maybe he just wanted to get to know her better. She wasn't sure if she could handle this.

Percy’s smile faded a little at the tone in her voice. He could tell she was happy for him, but there was a sadness there. Why was that? He thought about asking her, but she would just deny it was there. So... he moved on.
”Not really, I was thinking about doing some training with my sais. You could come with me if you want. I have an extra pair.” He said raising his eyebrows to entice her to come with him to practice fighting with the fork like weapons. Maybe this would help him feel like he wasn’t doing something wrong. Which he wasn’t. Dating a girl wasn’t wrong. But Anaya’s face seemed to say otherwise.

Kristin couldn't remember a time when she'd been happier than she was right now. Perseus Carew kissed her! HER! After spending a few hours playing games and talking. She wasn't entirely sure what would come of this, but she really wanted something to. She wanted to start dating Percy, honestly, and was hoping that something would come from their walk tonight. She was practically skipping down the main street when she saw Percy standing there. Kristin smiled, turning to make her way towards him, though her smile fell a little when she saw Anaya standing there. What was Anaya doing with Percy? She made her way over there, smiling as she approached. "Hey Percy. Long time no see," she giggled. Then she glanced at Anaya, "Anaya. You have a fun time at the party last night?" Not likely, since she left so early, though. "What are you two doing? Mind if I tag along maybe?" she looked up at Percy and her smile softened a moment before she dropped her eyes from his. Please say yes, she thought to herself, hoping. PERSEUS CAREWanaya isobel morne

Anaya's expression brightened when Percy suggested that she should come training with him. "Oh really!? I've never used those before. You can teach me, right?" She couldn't hide her excitement, and she didn't want to. Even though he wasn't saying anything, part of Anaya wondered if Percy could tell that she was having a bit of a hard time. So she wanted to be happy around him, show him that she was okay. She was so focused on Percy that she didn't even see Kristin appear until she was already talking to Percy. Anaya's eyes widened, but she glued the smile to her face, nodding when Kristin acknowledged her. "Hey Kristin." She shrugged, "It was a fine party, but I was a bit tired." Tired of seeing Kristin with Percy! She wasn't going to say that though. That would be her admitting her feelings for Percy, which Anaya couldn't do. She shrugged again when Kristin asked if she could join them. This wasn't her decision to make. It was Percy's, though Anaya's stomach was twisting and her excitement was gone. She couldn't meet Percy's eyes anymore, and she wasn't quite sure she wanted to. PERSEUS CAREWKristin Amelia Chauncey
