LEO
LEO WAS SO OVERLY BUSY with rebuilding Festus; he didn't realize he hadn't eaten in three days. Piper had entered the bunker, a serious expression plastered across her face. Her arms had been crossed, and she looked mad. Leo had set down his wrench, which he had been using to tighten a bolt on Festus' back, and raised his eyebrows.
"You need to eat Leo!" she had suddenly noticed the cesential bronze dragon behind Leo, and her eyes widened. Leo glared at her, his hair smoking. She was distracting him from his work, with something as unimportant as food. Leo's main priority was getting back to Calypso; he didn't have time to eat. Wasn't beef jerky enough?
"I don't have time Pipes," Leo picked his wrench back up. "I've got to finish Festus." he began to tighten the bolt into place. Piper scowled, kicking a bucket of screws away from her legs. Leo just rolled his eyes, but said nothing. He thought about the white sandy beach, steaming stew, warm apple cider, cinnamon and wood smoke, and a cloudless blue sky. But Piper didn't relent.
"Leo!" she screeched, storming up to him. "Have you even looked at yourself lately?" the truth was, he hadn't. But he hadn't felt the need, really. He'd managed to find time for three minute showers and stuffing a packet of jerky down his throat, and munching on sunflower seeds.
Leo scratched the back of his neck. "Well no Pipes, I'm not like all you Aphrodite girls, looking in the mirror every two seconds… I'm a man." Leo shrugged, and tightened another bolt.
Piper fumed, her fists balled at her sides. "I do not look in the mirror every two seconds Leo and you have to eat!" Piper didn't lessen her scary big sister gaze. She wasn't giving up. But neither was Leo. He reached into the bowl of seeds beside him, and shoved them into his mouth, nearly recoiling at all the salt. He cracked the shells and spat them at Piper's feet. She looked about ready to kill him.
"Leo Valdez," she snarled, but regained her posture quickly. "I know that your very eager to accomplish the impossible, but eating sunflower seeds is not the proper nutrition you need." she said the last part patiently, and Leo was about to make a comment about her sounding like Demeter, when he replayed her words in his head. Accomplish the impossible. He fumed, his hair catching fire.
"Finding Calypso is not impossible! I've already been guaranteed by the gods Piper! Why do you all always have to have such a lack of faith in me?" Leo glared at her, and Piper shot him a sympathetic glance.
"Leo," she muttered softly. "I don't have a lack of faith in you; I just mean you can't continue like this if you haven't eaten anything."
So Leo finally gave up, and ate with his friends. Unaware of the trouble Calypso was facing.
