Adam grins. "Of course, I saw all of that. I have no idea who Bethany Hampton is, but it was kind of hard to miss you wiping out the competition," he says with a snort. "Literally!"
~~~
Leila tenses her shoulders at his words. "Thank you. I just hope the others feel the same," she mutters. The rainbow pings to let Leila know that she can leave the message, and she jumps. "Oh! Okay. Hi, Ivy! It's Leila. I just wanted to let you know I am headed your way! I've got a friend coming with me, but I just- I had a feeling. I don't know how to explain it, but I just know that something big is coming our way."

He hums in acknowledgment and gently shifts her to a more comfortable position. "Well, I just graduated with my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, and I've started working towards my Master's degree. Uh, I'm helping train the newest recruits to the House. I'm kinda doing odd jobs to fill in any monetary needs, but I've got a full ride for my grades, so I'm pretty much set." He brushes a strand of hair behind her ear and smiles gently. "I would ask you what you've been up to, but I've been trying to keep an eye on you." His expression sours, and he drops his hand. "Apparently, I've been pretty bad at that."
~~~
Leila looks incredibly nervous. "Well, I only know a few of them, but I kinda betrayed them and let them rot in a prison that I knew would take them to an arena that they would have to fight their way out of? But they're good people!" she blurts out in a rush. "Anyways! Ivy is the only one that might know I'm coming. She's not answered, so I'll just leave her a message, but she's really nice," she says, looking forward steadfastly.

Leila nods. "Sure! Hop on," she says, scooting forward and gesturing to the newly made spot behind her. She pulls out her necklace, which has a small green crystal pendant, and pushes down a button on the top of the pendant. A small light sends rainbow fragments dancing across her immediate surroundings. She holds the pendant steady and carefully slips a golden drachma into the largest rainbow fragment. "Oh Iris, goddess of the Rainbow, please accept my offering," she mutters. The coin disappears, and she grins. "Ivy Douglas."

Adam pulls her into his lap quasi-princess-style, with both legs to one side and an arm behind her back. "I promise not to do it again, but only if you make me the same promise. No more of this," he says, running his free hand up her arm.

Leila looks pleased, the quickly becomes sheepish. "Don't laugh, okay? I just- I had some memories suddenly come to the front of my mind, and I just felt that I needed to go check on someone," she says, ducking her head. "She doesn't even know I'm coming. Maybe I should call ahead or something?" she mumbles under her breath. She watches him take off his jacket and raises an eyebrow. "So what're you doing here?"
~~~
Adam silently runs his fingers over the cuts. He looks beyond pissed. "Artimes . . ." he growls, then stops himself and takes a breath. "You promised, but you didn't remember." He takes a hold of her hand again. "Just promise you won't do it again. Please. I care about you too much to lose you," he says.

At Sage's whistle, the pegasus immediately veered towards him. Leila shrieked in surprise, but sees the leaping figure. "Is that the carnation kid?" she wondered aloud. The pegasus landed gracefully, trotting over to Sage. Leila sat up and waved, looking confused. "Hey! What's up?" she asks. "Did your mom like the flowers?"
~~~
Adam carefully tucks his feet up onto the bed underneath him. He takes her hand hesitantly and holds it between them. "I'm so sorry I made you feel abandoned," he says, running his thumb over her knuckles soothingly.

The bed sinks under Adam's weight as he joins Artimes. He stays seated on the edge, but is just close enough that, if she wanted to, she could reach out and touch him easily. ". . . . hey."
~~~
Once the excitement has died down, Max gets up from her seat. She heads outside and leans against the railing, lighting a cigarette and puffing on it gently.
