Ezra:

He got some dried fruit out of his saddle bag. "here."

Sasha:

She smiled softly

Athena,

She shrugged m

Leo,

He gently ran a hand through Sasha's hair.

Ezra:

"You ok Athena?"

Sasha:

She smiled, feeling safe being around someone who cared about her.

Leo,

He smiled softly, gently hugging her back.

Athena,

She sighed softly.

Ezra:

He untackex Esdras

Sasha:

She hugged Leo, her head resting on his chest

Leo,

"I love you too," he whispered softly.

Athena,

She stared out at the lake.

Ezra:

He kept an eye on Athena while he checked on Esdras. He prayed there wasn't any blood seeping through his shirt

Sasha:

After a little while she pulled back. "I love you Leo."

Leo

He kissed her back, "I love you," he murmured into the kiss.

Athena,,

She ran a hand through her dark brown hair, wincing slightly as some snarls came out.

Ezra:

He sat down

(You might want Leo to react to what Sasha did, last comment of the tenth page)

Athena,

She walked a little closer, and sat down on the shore.

Ezra:

He nodded

Athena,

"I-I guess I could stay f-for a little bit,"

Ezra:

"You don't have to go, please don't go. You aren't a bother."

Sasha:

She looked up at Leo. And kissed him.

Athena,

"I, I should go," she whispered, "i Don't mean to be a bother."

Ezra:

He nodded

Athena,

"Yeah, she explores a lot, not as much as me, but... yeah," she murmured .

Ezra:

"We know Alia. I think she traveled with us."

Athena,

She shrugged slightly, "my friend Aila will get worried."

Ezra:

He nodded. "We have more food. And you're welcome to travel with us."

Athena,

"T-thanks," she murmured softly, going over to the rock and picked up the Jerky.

Ezra:

He wraped the beef jerky up in a clean handkerchief and set it on a rock. He walked away a few paces

Athena,

She walked a little closer .

Ezra:

"I don't need it and I'm not hungry. You can have it if you want it."

Athena,

"Y-you should keep it, it's

Ezra:

"I have some beef jerky if you want it."

Athena,

She nodded slightly,

Ezra:

"Are you hungry?"

Athena,

She finished filling her flask and slowly stood back up.

Ezra:

he nodded

Athena,

"A-Athena," she said softlym

Ezra:

"I'm Ezra."

Athena,

She didn't know what to say or do- she just stayed still.

Ezra:

He didn't move, just stayed still as stone

Athena,

She glanced up and froze, like a deer spotting a hunter.

Ezra: He saw a stranger. "Hello?"

Athena,

She made it to a lake,

(Kinda the opposite side from where Ezra is at)

She bent down and splashed her face.

Ezra:

He skipped a stone across the lake

Athena

"Stupid burnee dragons," she muttered to herself, making her way to a lake so she could fill her flask.

Ezra:

He kicked at the water in teh lake

Athena,

She made her way through the forest, leaves and twigs tangled up in her hair.

Ezra:

He ignored Nasim

Nasim,

She snorted.

Ezra:

"Go away." He mumbled

Nasim,

Sje snorted, and nuzzled Ezra again.

(How old is he?)

Ezra:

He kept crying

Nasim,

She snorted and sat down.

(Like Maximus in Tangled)

(How old should they be?)

Ezra:

"Go away," he mumbled, still crying

Leo

He nodded slightly.

Nasim,

Sje walked over to Ezra and nuzzled him

Sasha:

"Same. In Dakur it was so hard to know who to trust."

Ezra:

He sat on the bank of the lake, crying

Leo,

"I'm just not used to telling people things," he murmured softly, "I'm so used to keeping secrets, but I try to not hold back anything from you," he murmured.

Sasha:

Her feelings were a little hurt but she pretended they weren't

(Want to Rp on Pegasi and Centaurs?)

Leo,

He shrugged slightly, "no idea," he murmured honestly .

Sasha:

"When why didn't you tell me about your scars?"

Leo,

"I'm not scared to talk to you," he murmured softly.

Sasha:

"I never want you to be scared to talk to me," she said quietly, trying to figure out why he hadn't told her about his scars

Leo,

"Forever and always," he repeated softly.

Sasha:

"I love you, forever and always."

Leo,

He smiled softly.

Sasha:

"I love you too."

Leo,

"I love you," he murmured.

Sasha:

"You don't have to be superman," she whispered

Leo-

He smiled slightly,

Sasha:

She started singing softly,

"If I could break away half of all your pain I'd take the worst of it and carry you like you carry me You say that you're alright when tears are in your eyes We're strong enough for this and I need you It's okay that you need me So put your armor on the ground tonight 'Cause everyone's got to come down sometimes

You don't have to be Superman You don't have to be Superman You don't have to hold the world in your hands You've already shown me that you can Don't have to be Superman

I know I've been gone too much We talk about me too much I'm selfish and distracted but I'm here and I'm listening And it's just you and me and these four walls And we are only human after all

You don't have to be Superman You don't have to be Superman You don't have to hold the world in your hands You've already shown me that you can Don't have to be Superman

And oh-oh-oh-oh Rest your eyes now, take my hand Even heroes fall down now and then You can let it go

You don't have to be Superman You don't have to be Superman You don't have to hold the world in your hands You've already shown me that you can Don't have to be Superman You don't have to be Superman."

Leo,

He sighed softly, slightly shaking.

Sasha:

She hugged him tighter, "I'm so sorry, love."

Leo,

He leaned into her, "m-my father," he shuddered slightly, "he gave me whipping almost every time I failed a mission, and when I refused to kill someone he gave me whippings, one or each year of the persons age I refused to kill,"

Sasha:

"I'm here, and I'll listen to whatever you want to say."

Leo,

"Y-yeah" he murmured.

Sasha:

"You want to talk about it?"

Leo

He leaned into the hug, his arms still wrapped around his knees.

Sasha:

She hugged Leo

Leo,

"I love you too," he murmured, resting his head onmhe knees

Sasha:

She walked over to Leo, "No matter what, I love you. Nothing will change that."

Leo,

He sighed curling his knees up to his chest.

Sasha:

She nodded,

Leo

He ran a hand through his hair quickly, and glanced at Sasha, "you saw them huh, " he murmured quietly and quickly.

Sasha:

She didn't want to say anything about his scars unless he brought them up

Leo,

He quickly put his shirt hoping that Sasha hadn't seen his scars, then he walked back into the tent and sat down next to Sasha.

Sasha:

When Leo turned around she saw the scars on his back and gasped quietly

Leo,

He turned and headed out of the tent to grab his shirt.

Sasha:

She didn't know how to respond

Leo,

His blushed deepened, "I-I'll go grab my shirt," he mumbled.

But at the same time realizing when he turned she would see his scars thst were all over his back

Sasha:

She sighed in relief.

Leo,

He nodded.

Sasha:

"Just a bad dream, right?'

Leo,

"Hi," he said.

Sasha:

"Hey."

Leo,

"Hey Sasha," he murmured, then his face turned red when he remembered he left his shirt outside.

Sasha:

Her eyes opened

Leo,

"Yes, it's me," he murmured,

Sasha:

"Leo?" she mumbled
