Josh Rieger's Tree House

[Joshua]

Josh nearly lost it, "No, no for sure don't have anything like that, but some Nymph's in the forest owe my a favor. I can probably get them to make one?" Josh said scratching his chin.

[❍◦●○❍Brooklyn ❍○●◦❍]

Aurra nodded "Alright then." she said looking at him "Unless your uncomfortable wearing a suit?"

(( can i

[Joshua]

Josh was uncomfortable but it was a prom. Not like he could wear jeans. "I can wear a suit, just usually don't. Josh answered stepping closer. "So I know how to kiss?" He said wanting to change the subject and finding this one fun.
((No))

(( PROMS GOIN ON

[Joshua]

((Not right now it isn't))

(( oh good

[❍◦●○❍Brooklyn ❍○●◦❍]

Aurra blushed "Well. yes." She said and held his hand. She smiled and looked up into his eyes.

[Joshua]

"Oh good, you know I wasn't as sure." Josh said with a wicked grin. Sometimes he planned things like a Hermes kid. "Cause you said I didn't need practice but I don't know." Josh said drawing out the last part and scratching his chin as if it wasn't obvious what he was doing.

[❍◦●○❍Brooklyn ❍○●◦❍]

She blushed more a little embarrassed but caught on to what he was trying to do. "Maybe I need to remind you?" She said smiling.

[Joshua]

Josh wasn't sure want he liked more. The fact that she obviously saw what he was trying to do or that she didn't care. "I think a little reminder wouldn't hurt," He said stepping closer.

[❍◦●○❍Brooklyn ❍○●◦❍]

Aurra leaned in and kissed him for the second time. When she pulled back she smiled widely. "Did that refresh your memory?" She asked teasingly.

[Joshua]

Josh knitted has brow like he was thinking then smiled, "You know I just don't know yet." He said laughing and kissed Aurra again. When he pulled back he gave a quick, "I guess that'll do for now." And turned back to sit on his leather chair.

[❍◦●○❍Brooklyn ❍○●◦❍]

Aurra smiled and sat on the couch next to his chair. "Now that your memory is back, what shall we do?" She asked smiling "Give someone Grand the tour, Maybe?" She teased him.

[Joshua]

Josh rolled his eyes, "Never going to live that down." Josh looked back at her and in an attempt to defend himself made a gesture to all of Aurra. "I'm sorry but your a little distracting and I am 18 still." Josh said realizing after what he said. His hands went mood ring again.

[❍◦●○❍Brooklyn ❍○●◦❍]

Aurra laughed "Oh, I'm sorry is all this too much for the little boy." She said giggling "And your right, you will never live that one down. I will make sure of that."

[Joshua]

Josh looked down at himself then back up gaping. "Little boy? I'm 6'4'' and just kissed you 3 times?! I take great offense to this." Josh said putting like a little kid and hoping Aurra would feel obliged to come closer to apologize.

[❍◦●○❍Brooklyn ❍○●◦❍]

She stood up and sat on the arm of his chair "I'm sorry, your a big little boy aren't you." Aurra said making a pouty lip at josh.

[Joshua]

Josh pulled her into his lap as soon as she sat down. "First off, I am a man and if you ever need proof of that I will kiss you silly whenever you ask." Josh said holding up one finger. "Secondly, your gorgeous and I had just met you. It took me awhile to be able to think while you were so close." He said holding up a second finger and kissing her nose.

[❍◦●○❍Brooklyn ❍○●◦❍]

Aurra smiled and blushed "Right, and your my man." She said laying her head on his chest smiling.

[Joshua]

"And very happy about it." He added wrapping an arm around her waist. The Tv suddenly turned on to a basketball game. Josh realized he was sitting on the remote and pulled it out.

[❍◦●○❍Brooklyn ❍○●◦❍]

Aurra smiled "It's almost like the tv want's to be watched." She said gripping his free hand "Do you play basket ball?" she asked

[Joshua]

"I used to play a lot at the courts when I was here." Josh said thoroughly enjoying Aurra laying on top of him. "But not much anymore. Some don't even consider me a camper because i live out here, am older, and work for Chiron basically." Josh said with a tinge of guilt.

[❍◦●○❍Brooklyn ❍○●◦❍]

"Well I think of you as more then a camper." She said then a thought came to her "What's it like? Outside of camp." She asked curiously "I've been trapped inside the boundaries for seven years now and never gone further then the Pine."

[Joshua]

Josh muted the Tv and thought a moment. "It's pretty much always the same out there for demigods. Gods try to use us, monsters try to kill us, and everything in between is either looking for a quick buck or think we're crazy. I got tired of people quickly, so i started staying here longer and longer. Now I live here." Josh said trying to be broad but had a hard time explaining it.

[❍◦●○❍Brooklyn ❍○●◦❍]

"I see," Aurra said frowning but letting josh see. "Nothing special then." She said her voice flat with no emotion. She sighed if that's what it was like maybe her dream was just a waste of time.

[Joshua]

"I didn't say it wasn't special?" Josh said confusion clear on his face.

[❍◦●○❍Brooklyn ❍○●◦❍]

"So how is it special?" She asked hoping he life dream still was worth it.

[Joshua]

"I don't care much for most people, but there are some that can be nice. Even some I would count as friends or motherly." Josh said thinking about it. "Plus it can be beautiful with the landscapes, forests, landmarks, music, etc. It can be a beautiful world. I just always seem to be caught up on the bad I guess."

[❍◦●○❍Brooklyn ❍○●◦❍]

She smiled a little "Why do you always see the bad side? Is it because of being a Demigod?" Aurra asked him wondering what normally caught him up in the bad part.

[Joshua]

"Yes and no. It came more with my hands. I was so scared of hurting people that I would come off as rude or something I guess. People didn't really like me and then sometimes I would end up in bad parts, where lying and stealing are norms." Josh said looking at the ceiling

[❍◦●○❍Brooklyn ❍○●◦❍]

She squoze his hand. "Oh, but you don't steal anymore right?" She asked hoping he changed from his old ways. Then looked up at him.

[Joshua]

"No, no. I only stole food." Josh assured her. "Plus I never stole from family shops or anything. I tried to keep at as moral as stealing can be." He added but it still didn't sound great.

[❍◦●○❍Brooklyn ❍○●◦❍]

"Right, only for food." She sighed and looked down "At least you didn't use your powers."

[Joshua]

"I was too scared for that." Josh admitted looking down at her.

[Ilsa, I name me, destroyer of worlds!]

((We've been waiting for ages for you to comment on our quest...))

[❍◦●○❍Brooklyn ❍○●◦❍]

Joshua wrote: ""I was too scared for that." Josh admitted looking down at her."

She smiled it was a relief that his powers weren't involved "I'm just glad nothing bad happened to you. Or else we never would have meet."

[Joshua]

Josh didn't smile but kept his eyes even. "Many things happen to me, but your right I[m glad I'm still alive to have met you."

[❍◦●○❍Brooklyn ❍○●◦❍]

Aurra's smiled sagged a bit. But then she kissed his cheek and laid her head back down on his chest. She remained silent then doze off eventually on joshes lap.

[Joshua]

Josh noticed Aurra sleeping so he just watched Tv with subtitles. Letting her sleep while he watched, not that he could complain.

[❍◦●○❍Brooklyn ❍○●◦❍]

((Time Warp))

Aurra woke up still in joshes lap, she stretched and accidentally hit him in the face. "Oh, Sorry." She said and yawned

[Joshua]

Josh woke up when Aurra accidentally hit him. His hands flared and he put one on her then jerked away. "See why I don't hang out with many people?" He said rubbing his eyes. "That could have killed someone else."

[❍◦●○❍Brooklyn ❍○●◦❍]

She nodded "Yeah, I can see. I'm glad you worry about hurting others though," Aurra said and stood up quickly then lost her balance and fell back into josh's lap. Aurra blushed "Rikki told me once she was sparing and she was almost curtain the girl would have killed her, just for the fun of it."

[Joshua]

Josh laughed as he wrapped his arms back around, "apparently the gods want you to stay where you are." Josh thought a moment, "If it's what I'm thinking of then I was right there and could have stopped and healed whatever the injury. She wasn't in much danger, but that girl was mad."

[❍◦●○❍Brooklyn ❍○●◦❍]

Aurra laughed at his comment about the gods. "Maybe Aphrodite made me clumsy today for a reason." She looked up at him "Then I'm glad you were there." Aurra smiled.

[Joshua]

"Maybe." Josh said smiling, "And ya the other girl was getting out of hand but wasn't to bad." Josh assured her.

[❍◦●○❍Brooklyn ❍○●◦❍]

She smiled "Rikki can over exaggerate, sometimes" She laughed "You should here some of her so called true stories."

[Joshua]

"Oh ya?" Josh said snuggling down into his chair.

[❍◦●○❍Brooklyn ❍○●◦❍]

"Yes, like the one where she swore that Pan visited her when she was in the.....bathroom." She giggled.

[Joshua]

Josh looked at Aurra like she grow two heads. "Bathroom?" Josh said laughing a bit.
