"Now when you say friends? Do you mean friends? Or<em>friiiiiends?</em>? The second one had a clear inflection and he used air quotes to get his point across. Did she mean actual friends, or people who gave her trouble? Even though he'd just got there, Ve was his friend, and he was loyal to a fault. If you messed with anyone he considered a friend, you automatically messed with him as well. That's how he'd always been, that's how it was back home, and that's how it was here, day one or not.<br/><br/>He nodded enthusiastically when asked if he played; music was his passion and he loved to talk about it. "Yeah. Guitar mostly, but I play piano, keyboard...I guess those are the same thing. Drums, blah blah blah. Name an instrument and I've probably played it." He giggled(manly giggle) when she said she just like making a racket along with good music.<br/><br/>"I definitely understand. Music has this way of gettin' inside you and everything is cool no matter what you do. I love that feeling and makin' people feel it with my music." Her reaction to his story made him grin. It was good that someone here felt that way and was actually sticking up for him. Maybe this place wasn't all bad if more people would be like Ve. His expression saddened a bit when she said she didn't have parents. That meant no mom or dad...and definitely no God since she was still unclaimed.<br/><br/>"Thanks for that, and I'm...I'm sorry about your parents. Whoever they were, I'm sure they were great. And you still have one...he just has to claim you. And considering I'm pretty damn sure it's Hephaestus with the way you gush over tools and stuff, he's probably makin' something and just forgot. He'll get around to it," he said with a grin as he lightly reached out and tapped her upper arm. He sat down when she offered the chair and he leaned back in it.<br/><br/>"Well, takin' down monsters is surprisingly satisfying work. And I got to pet a pegasus and stuff so that was pretty fun. Not the best day, but far from the worst so far. And I mean yeah I'm big, but sometimes I forget that I'm just like my dad. I'm just like my brother..fucking<em>Hercules</em>. I'm strong as all hell for no apparent reason. It was a light backhand with my shield and he went twenty feet easy. He's gonna be okay, but it was like funny and scary at the same time."<br/><br/>Looking at her on the table, as her feet hung in the air, he couldn't help but swipe his hand under them and look up at her, then back to the large open space between her feet and the floor. "Damn, Ve. You really are funsize, hahaha." After a bit she opened up about the injuries, and he laughed along with her to comfort her when she told him to see the other guy.<br/><br/>"Well I kinda want to now. You've got that look that says anyone who gives you a split lip is gonna regret it." He nodded along with her story, smiling to see that someone stood up for her. "At this point it feels like 90% of the Ares kids hate<em>everybody</em>for one reason or another. Some of them are cool though.<br/><br/>But remind me to thank Darien, and talk to those goons if they ever give you trouble again." Electricity sparked in and around his eyes for a moment when he said it; to let her know that if she needed his help, he'd help her. When she was finished, he leaned forward and rubbed his hands together. "Okay, tell me if I'm movin' too fast with these questions, because remember who my dad is. One, you got bit on the ass? Is there a mark? If there is, can I see it? And two...if you didn't have a suit? Lingerie swimwear?" he asked playfully with a smile on his face and a quick wink.
