( Michaelangelo )
*Holliday Grainger as Aphrodite
THE SISTINE CHAPEL WAS BEING PAINTED IN THE CREVICES OF HER BRAIN.Nicoletta could feel the paint strokes on her cranium as she kept her head upward, feeling the warm kiss of the last sun before nightfall; her head angled up towards the sky with the same mindset as the Italian sculpture she would devote her countless nights to: Michaelangelo. She could feel her eyes start to dry, reflections in the golden specks that made them water, causing her to cast her eyes down.
Sitting on the boar made all her muscles tight with anticipation. She tentatively wrapped her wary arms around Percy who sat in front of her. She could feel that he was tense which almost caused her to remove them, not wanting to invade his space, but eventually kept them when she felt him exhale.
Nicoletta took a sharp breath, watching as mountains were flushed into flatlands, smelling the intense scent of sandalwood which brought her comfort in this odd instance, feeling her transmogrified weapon in the pocket of her clean cardigan, one her mother refuses to get dirty.
She leaned her head on Percy's shoulder which was soft from the Lion's skin, the same scent coming from him but in waves which were definitely not possible seeing as they have been on a quest for days now.
She lifted her head slightly, looking at Percy who had a tiny smile on his face. "You smell that?"
His nose got all scrunched up. "Smell's like Patchouli."
Nicoletta was wrapped in the dark sky above, just now covering the sun in a blanket. She barked a laugh, ignoring the irritative looks everyone else on the boar gave her. "How do you know what Patchouli smells like?"
Percy grumbled, almost like he was offended. "You act like I know nothing at all."
She bit her lip, thinking of a response. Sparing a glance at the boy. "Well, you've got this whole 'troubled teen meets library shelver' thing going on, but when you get all serious you get total James Bond-ish." She shrugged her shoulders as Thalia let out a loud snort. "Sorry I didn't think you'd know what Patchouli smells like."
He frowned, upset that she perceives him that way. "Well, I guess you don't know me at all then."
Nicoletta pursed her lips, removing her arms at his sour mood. "Which is true." She agreed, guarding herself, even more, making Percy curse in his mind.
As the night darkened, the boar came to a stop at a creek bed and snorted. He started drinking the muddy water, then ripped a saguaro cactus out of the ground and chewed it, needles and all.
