Nancy's initial comment caught Demetri by surprise. [i][Color=6666FF]She doesn't have a problem with me?[/color][/i] The words felt almost reassuring for a moment until she had continued to speak, launching another jab at his heart. How [i]anyone[/i] could consider Aphrodite his bestie was beyond him. He clearly had no love for the Goddess at the moment. Yet before Demi could say anything Nancy had already moved her attention towards the next target of her verbal assault, Cassian. For a girl who had previously just been preaching about togetherness and comradery, she sure knew how to pick her own teammates apart. He crossed his arms, looking towards his boyfriend wondering if he would back him up in this.

Cassian took a step backwards as he was addressed by Nancy. Her stern voice was enough to make him wonder what it is that he had done to gain such ire from her. It felt more than simple Greek Roman rivalry, deeper almost. As if his existing somehow offended her very being. But he'd never met her till they'd come to camp, so how was it that in such a short time he fucked up so badly? Zeke served to ease the growing tension, adding a bit of light hearted humor into his words, though his shoulder push seemed a little to hetero for his liking. Cassian simply tried to smile back at Zeke as he tucked a hair behind his ear. [Color=CC00CC]"Right. Children of Apollo, should've known better than to attempt to join in."[/color] he said, trying his best at a light hearted tone, but hiding the clear bit of insult that he felt from the exclusion.

Zeke’s reassurance never came. It seemed in this matter at the very least, he had his sisters back. Demetri hadn't felt so small as he did at this moment. His crossed arms slowly lowered down until one hand gingerly held the other's wrist. What other talents did Demetri have? Aside from being a constant screw up and sandbag to the party? If he didn't have his powers…he didn't have anything. Even at this moment Zeke felt distant to him, as if he was just out of reach. His voice was low, almost a whisper, as he replied back to him. [Color=6666FF]"Right."[/color] was all he could muster out. He didn't dare meet Zeke's eyes, once again finding the car's floor far more interesting.

Cassian shifted his weight to one side as he listened in to everyone's opinions. On one hand the train and its advantages. It traveled faster than any other mode they had access to right now, and as Zeke pointed out, they could attempt to manipulate the small space to their advantage again. The biggest issue was the passengers. Mortals could get finicky with all the fighting, what's more they were a potential distraction for Janelle and her hearing abilities that she needed for fighting. What was a boon to some was a bane to others. But in the end…[color=CC00CC]"I'm with Artemis and Apollo over here. This trains our best bet. We should stay on it for as long as we are able and defend to the best that we can. If we reach a point where authorities may be an issue, well we ditch and run."[/color]

[Color=6666FF]"Whatever"[/color]
