[ Natalie has her face buried in her hands, leaning forward with her head against her knees, shoulder shaking from the effort of not laughing. Without warning, Percy's chair is suddenly missing a leg. Of course he's quick enough to catch himself with a yelp before he hits the fall, but that's satisfying enough for Natalie.

There are only innocent people sitting on the couch, honest. She pulls her lips over her teeth, squeezing her eyes shut until she's at least calmed her facial expression. ]

[commandertoolbelt]

[ And that, of course, only makes Leo laugh harder. He's not helping with their innocent act, is he?

Anyway, as he finally manages to get his amusement under control and clears his throat, they were actually talking about fire. ]

If anyone put out the fire, it was Piper.

[ And... it was. She'd buried the flaming monsters in hams and birthday cake and fruit, and it was the most awful thing combination of odors he'd ever smelled. And the comment makes for an great double entendre. Win-win. ]

[clearasil]

[ That eventually gets a gross snort from Natalie from behind her hands and she shakes her head, lowering her hands into her lap. ]

That must have smelled amazing. [ She finally comments, voice surprisingly calm after that whole display. ]

[commandertoolbelt]

I'm telling you, if there was a perfume for it, you would wear it for the rest of your life.

[ He almost gags just saying it. ]

[clearasil]

[ Natalie chokes back a snarky comment about wearing it to keep him away from her before meetings like this but they've already done enough damage and she doesn't want to be chased out of the rec room. ]

Great. [ She says as if to end that conversation because she mostly doesn't want to upset Reyna, who clearly would rather be training outside than listening to these two. ]

[commandertoolbelt]

[ The rest of the meeting goes just as uneventfully as he'd expected, with only a few ridiculous comments thrown in here or there when he feels it necessary (and let's face it; it's almost always necessary). And Percy's gone and conjured up another chair from somewhere, effectively ruining their prank. He still sends the two of them amused glances from time to time, though.

Bored, Leo finds Natalie's hand again, impatiently tapping Is it over yet? ]

[clearasil]

[ 'Soon. Wrapping up.'

She gives his hand a warm squeeze, absently scratching his palm out of affection. She's hardly said anything over the past forty minutes or so because her mind keeps wandering off to ... other topics. Other obvious topics. Her free hand has been busy, fiddling with her hair, twisting curls around her fingers, picking lint off her leggings, etc.

She sighs and hardly notices when the others begin to stand up. ]

[commandertoolbelt]

[ Leo is more than ready when the time comes, jumping to his feet. Everyone here knows he gets restless at these things... just this time, he's got a very different reason for it than severe ADHD, and the looks Percy and Annabeth (and gods of Olympus, even Piper) are giving him, they know exactly what it is and find it wildly amusing.

From his point of view, it's not so funny. New goal: get out of here before Water Boy can make another stupid comment. He tugs on Nat's hand to pull her up, hoping she'll get the message. ]

[clearasil]

[ Bully for everyone else who doesn't have a conveniently secluded hideaway where they can get it on. Natalie considers herself lucky.

The tug on her arm gets her attention and she stands, mumbling something in agreement to Chiron about ... something, nodding her head a few times. ]

Well. Yeah. I'll - yeah, we'll see you later. [ Natalie manages to offer some intelligent parting words before she's tugged out the door. ]

[commandertoolbelt]

You know you just agreed to help the dryads weed the strawberry fields.

[ Granted, he is a good distraction. Doesn't mean he can't find this funny. ]

[clearasil]

-- Crap.

[ She'll find some way to make that task go faster, conjure something to pull them out faster. In the meantime, they have business to tend to. ]

Whatever.

[commandertoolbelt]

[ He snickers, but he's eager to get back to Bunker 9 and pick up where they left off. ]

This is why they should've given us an hour. [ A beat. ] But the look on Percy's face was definitely worth it.

[clearasil]

Listen, I don't wanna think about that until later so -- [ She nudges him. ]

Come on, Valdez. [ Natalie smirks and, releasing his hand, takes off, launching into race to get to the bunker. }

[commandertoolbelt]

[ He only hesitates for a second, staring after her in surprise before taking off. ]

No fair! You're a cheating cheat!

[clearasil]

I'm not cheating if this isn't a game!

[ Except it's totally a game and she's totally winning because she's light on her feet sometimes. ]

[commandertoolbelt]

You are so cheating!

[ But he's pretty fast, too - helps when you've got bullies to run from. So he'll be catching up before long. ]

[clearasil]

[ A part of her wants to slow down but a bigger part wants to win and Natalie keeps her lead for the time being, feet thumping against the ground, blood pumping in her ears. ]

I'll let you win next time! Promise.

[commandertoolbelt]

Let me win? I'm gonna kick your butt next time!

[ Almost there, but he's still losing... ]

[clearasil]

[ The smirk on Natalie's face says it all when she reaches the entrance to Bunker 9 first and she, catching her breath, folds her arms over her chest and patiently waits for him to catch up. ]

[commandertoolbelt]

[ Reaching the entrance, Leo stops to lean against the wall and catch his breath, pointing an accusing finger at her. ]

You... are a cheater. I don't know if I want to kiss you anymore.

[clearasil]

[ The next question sounds very sensible coming from her: ] What if I took my shirt off? Would that help?

[commandertoolbelt]

[ He looks offended. ]

You think you can just bribe me like that?

[clearasil]

... I think threatening to take it away is more effective.

[commandertoolbelt]

[ He stomps his foot like a child, heaving a deep, long-suffering sigh, though his grin never fades. ]

Alright, alright. You can bribe me.

[clearasil]

Come on, we've got a lot of catching up to do. [ She can be totally bossy when she wants to, especially when it comes to matters like this. ]
