[ Leo swats at the bird, still flitting around. ] You've been gone for, like, two months, and now you decide to say hello? Where'd you even come from, you stupid bird?! Go bother someone else.
[ Caelum gives him an undignified squawk and takes off just as quickly as he appeared. Shaking his head, Leo looked back at Nat with an apologetic shrug. ]
[ Eventually, someone's going to come looking for them, but that hasn't even occurred to him yet. Oh well; he's enjoying the moment, nipping playfully at her lower lip with a grin. ]
[ That puts a smile on her face when she briefly breaks away to take a breath. Just as playfully, she starts tugging at his shirt from behind, curling her hands into the fabric of his shirt and trying to tug it up that way. ]
[ She can take care of that, then, and Leo will take care of hers in return. The earlier problem has returned, he's noticed: too much fabric, not enough skin. It's especially frustrated that she's wearing leggings. Those things might be the worst things on the planet; he has no idea how Natalie (or any other girl) can stand them. For now, his hands are occupied with tugging up the hem of her shirt, mirroring her movements, but his mind is going in a million directions at once, and one of them is wondering what the best and quickest method of getting rid of those might be. ]
[ She dips her head to plant soft, affectionate kisses along his shoulder, nuzzling the crook of his neck quickly before continuing her way along his jaw. Her other hand traces little patterns - ancient symbols she's memorized most likely - over his shoulder and back. ]
Unzip the skirt, then go for the leggings. [ Sigh. ]
[ He rolls his to give her plenty of room to continue. Despite the instructions, he doesn't do anything about the leggings yet, instead running warm hands up her sides and relishing the feeling of being back. And while she's at his neck, he bites gently at her earlobe. ]
[ He gets a tiny moan in reply as she presses her fingertips into skin she's missed. This is what it's like, huh, making up for time spent anxiously missing her boyfriend. Reunions aren't so bad.
Just as it heats up - haha - a voice rings out via IM to interrupt.
" Uh. Guys?" It's Piper. "I am so not looking but we kind of need you. Before Reyna gets you herself, please. ]
[ Natalie freezes in place, turning to see Piper covering her face on the other end. She shoots Leo a look. ]
Sorry. I - we'll be there soon.
[ Damn it, she should have been more responsible. Piper wipes the message away and Natalie purses her lips, reaching for her shirt. But only after she gives Leo a kiss of consolation. ]
[ Leo reluctantly settles for the kiss, but it doesn't make up for much. Frustrated at having to leave so soon, he steps away from the table with a roll of his eyes. ]
They can't wait one hour?
[ He shakes his head, not even noticing that he's steaming a little. ]
[ Her lip curls in annoyance as she tries to fix her hair, separating and twirling a few curls in the front so it doesn't look as if she's been completely disheveled. ]
It better be short.
[ This hasn't really happened to her, being cut off suddenly, so to speak. She pushes off the worktable. ]
[ Natalie claps a hand on his shoulder as if stamping out a fire, her eyebrows raised. ]
Maybe the tension will make things exciting or something.
[ Isn't that what women's magazine said? Then again, most of that is trash. The problem here is that for the next few hours, Natalie will not stop thinking about sex. ]

So, where were we?
[ Hopefully that's the end of that.
(Meanwhile, on the other side of camp, there's a post-quest meeting missing two counselors.) ]
no subject
I think we were... here?
[ Relieved that the bird is gone, Leo leans in again for that kiss he wanted before. ]
no subject
Yep, this is exactly where they should be. Never mind that Leo was actually on the quest. ]

Right now?

We had a few tiny little problems on the quest - that's why we got back late. If this meeting doesn't drag on like a history class, I'll be surprised.
[ And maybe he won't burn down the Big House. ]

Oh, yeah! Totally exciting. If by exciting you mean the longest, most torturous hours of my life.
[ Siiiiigh. Better get this over with - the sooner, the better. ]
no subject
It -- will probably be that bad, but you can hold my hand under the ping pong table if that makes you feel better.
no subject
Hold your hand under the table? What, are we in kindergarten now?
[ Not that he'd mind, of course, but he grins teasingly. ]
no subject
Well, you don't have to hold my hand if you don't want, it was just an offer.
[ Natalie tacks an exaggerated sigh onto the end of that sentence as she trudges her way towards the door. ] I guess we should go now.
no subject
So how much do you think Percy's going to bother us about this?
[ He is not looking forward to finding out. ]
no subject
I wanna see how long he lasts without making a comment. Then I can hex him or something.
no subject
I give him a minute.
no subject
[ Please. Like he and Annabeth haven't had close calls. ]
