Camp Half-Blood, New York
Hunter: It's a fairly normal day at Camp Half-Blood. After a full day of rest and training, Hunter had decided to take a lakeside stroll. Normally, he'd feel somewhat nervous around water. One seizure and then ZAP!, no more naiads or swimming campers, but he hadn't had a seizure for a while. The area was fairly remote, so Hunter had a chance to reflect on his time at camp so far. He'd enjoyed himself, but it wasn't what he expected. He hadn't spoken to Theo for a while. Most of his days were spent training or working with younger campers. Still, the position suited him well, or at least it seemed that way.

Theo: While walking back to his cabin after his conversation with Benny, Theo walked by the lake. He saw Hunter walking towards him. He looked down, hoping to get by unnoticed. He didn't want to have to go through saying goodbye to Hunter and telling him where he was going. Theo knew Hunter would try to stop him, or worse, tag along. Head down, and hands in his pockets, Theo just wished to be invisible for once.

Hunter: Whistling to himself, Hunter spotted someone walking towards him. It took him a few seconds to realise that it was Theo, but the effect was almost instantaneous. He glanced towards Theo and gave him a wry smirk. "If you're trying to avoid me, you could make it less obvious." He chuckled, letting the son of Ariadne pass him if he wished. "What's up? You've got that look on your face."

Theo: "Nothing. I just need to get back to my cabin to deal with something." Theo continued walking in the direction of his cabin. Damn it, Theo thought to himself. ''Couldn't he not have seen me just this once? I don't need any romantic gestures right now. ''

Hunter: "Yup, you're upset. Who do I have to fight now?" He shrugged his shoulders and decided to follow along until Theo summoned a couple of hellhounds on his ass. Truthfully, he was just worried about his boyfriend. ''We haven't spoken for ages. Should I have taken a hint? ''"Look, I'll leave you alone if you tell me what's wrong, kay? We both know I'm not going anywhere."

Theo: Theo didnt bother looking up. "You may not be going anywhere, but I am." Theo kept walking.

Hunter: "Babe, I just got here and you're leaving already?" He joked, though the hurt showed in his voice. "Look, if there's a problem, you don't have to face it alone, and if the problem is me... well consider me gone. You've got more history around this place anyway. You belong here."

Theo: Theo stopped walkign suddenly and turned to face Hunter. "You really want to know who you can fight? I was out with Benny for a chat and a walk. We were sorta interrupted by a demigoddess. She's powerful and with the Broken Covenant. She told Benny she could get him his dead friend back from the Underworld. I told him he should take her offer. But I need to track her down to make sure she's legit. But she's way too powerful for me. So I'm not exactly in the best mood right now, ok?" Theo's tone was irritated.

Hunter: "Whoa! Hold up..." Hunter raised his arms in a gesture of surrender. "You said what?..." His eyes widened a little. The son of Zeus had never encountered the Broken Covenant but he had heard the horror stories. "I care about the kid as much as you do, but that's serious buisness. Come back to mine and we'll talk it out. I'll ask Thomas and some wind spirits I know for intel, if you want. Anything to help." What trouble has he gotten himself into this time?

Theo: Theo locked eyes with Hunter. "I said he should go. And he should. He needs his friend. We are going to the Underworld, so Benny can talk to his friend. And if you stand in my way I swear to God I will fight you until you move out of it. I'll keep the kid safe. I just need to make sure that this girl can do what shesays she can. I think she visits the North Woods often. I should be able to find her there."

Hunter: "These are dangerous people Theo. I can't make you reconsider but I can try my damned hardest." Hunter crossed his arms and held his ground. "Let me come with you. I'm bound to the gods, so I can't exactly run off and join you but I can do my best to protect you while I can. We'll talk to her, together."

Theo: "Fine, whatever. But just warning you, this chick isn't really a fan of letting other people talk. And I don't plan on talking to her. But you can." Theo began to walk in the direction of the North Woods. After a brief silence, he laughed. "You really think that you being there will actually keep me safe against this she-demon? I mean, she managed to convince Benny to go against everything he believes in. She'll probably try to twist your mind the same way."

Hunter: "And you let her?" Hunter raised an eyebrow. "If anything goes wrong, I can try to get us out of there. I know you can handle yourself babe, but I worry." He slyly went to grasp Theo's waist. "It's fine, she can't get to me as long as you're here." The son of Zeus smiled sadly and tried to steal a quick kiss. "Honestly, I think you and Benny stand a better chace on your own. But we can try and make her swear on the River Styx that no harm will come to either of you."

Theo: Theo shrugged. "Yeah, I told him he shold do it for his friend if he missed his friend. I mean, I don't think I owe the gods anything, unlike you. I despise my mother." Theo theo shook his head. "Hunter, you don't get it. I'm saying I can't take care of myself, but you can't beat this chick either. Even together she'd probably crush us. She's the only child of Charon in the world, maybe ever. Her power, her potential, they are unknown. She could be like as Powerful as Percy Jackson and we would never know. But the chick was trained by the gods as a ruthless assassin. I just don't want you to get hurt. Someone needs to watch out for Benny if this goes south."

Hunter: Hunter sighed. "Theo, you should've taken him back. Benny probably needs to work it out with his father. And Alexander should know about this." He said sternly, his stormy blue eyes glazed over with worry. Theo cared about Benny like a sibling and would die for him. Hunter wasn't about to let that happen. "If she's as strong as you say, she's a threat to the camp, and the gods have a habit of making the wrong people angry." The son of Zeus bristled a little, his skin buzzing with static electricity. "Okay, basic strategy. We put pressure on her, watch our backs and hope we're not thrown into a pit of hellfire." ''Gods, I love him, but he's an ass sometimes. ''

Theo: Theo shook his head, laughing. "You even think about telling Alexander, and I'll personally make sure that someone from my cabin is on you at all times, making sure you have no idea where you are going, till you wander cluelessly into the Underworld yourself. And that's not a threat. That's a promise." Theo kept walking. "This girl is trying to help Benny. Although she may have other motives on top of that, Benny has never been this close to saving his friend. And I won't let you, or anyone else for that matter, stand in his way." Theo changed the subject back to Elizabeth "Sure, whatever you say Zeus's boy."

Hunter: He shook his head. "I'm responsible for you, like you're responsible for him. If you get yourself killed Theodore, especially in some godforsaken rescue mission, I will turn into a ghost myself and hound you for eternity, and I'm sure that neither of us want that. Capiche?" He paused for a couple of seconds. "I won't say anything, unless the camp itself is put in danger. You'll have to trust me on that. Hunter stepped aside to let Theo lead them towards the woods. "Lead the way, smartass."

Theo: Theo just shrugged again, as if not caring. "Eh, actually, I don't. But I will, just for you." After walking in silence for a while, Theo stopped by a large cave. I think this is where she comes a lot. Like she's praying or something. I think I've passed her here before, but I always thought she was a nymph. Now I know better. What exactly is your master plan again? Because as soon as she sees you, she'll think you're here to kill her or some shit. She's a bit quick to resort to violence."
