SEN

˚ ༘♡ ⋆。˚ ❀

Pollux was actually quite pleasant to be around.

Sen had bad blood with Castor, since he cursed her for fun so that all of her emotions were on the surface- his father was the god of that, along with mental insanity, so his kids had an arsenal of psychological weapons- so she didn't like him very much. He seemed okay with it. Sen had a feeling she'd make up with him at some point, but she was still really embarrassed after Silena told her what she did when Percy, Annabeth, and Tyson arrived.

Pollux, on the other hand, was pretty chill. He and his twin were the only Dionysus campers, so Sen wondered if they all looked like him. Pollux and Castor had mops of blonde hair that kind of circled their heads- similar to Dionysus's ivy crown of the old days- and bright violet eyes that could be both enchanting and off-putting. They both looked a little confused sometimes, but they were actually quite smart. They had some more feminine features too, like longer eyelashes, shaped eyebrows, big eyes, smooth skin, and plumper lips that were always stained red. They were a little plumper, and not very athletic in appearance, but both had proven that they could hold up well in a fight.

Still, Sen was a better warrior, so Pollux was the designated driver.

"How should we design it?" Pollux asked as he and Sen lounged on the velvet couches in the Dionysus cabin. It was really dark inside and smelled like ivy. A few dim lamps lined the walls.

"Mm..." Sen ransacked her head for ideas. "Well, we should have some vines on it. An ode to you, I suppose- ooh, is that Jenga?!"

Sen and Pollux decided to discuss more chariot business over Jenga.

"I think we should also do some other plants." Pollux suggested as Sen slid a piece out. "Since you're nature-y, too."

"Ooh, okay! What if we just coat the entire damn thing in plants and not even worry about a design?"

"I'm down. So, all that's left is to build it."

"Yeah pretty much."

"Cool. We're done for the day. Want a soda?"

About an hour later, Castor left to go train. Sen was on her third soda and she was trying to make trick shots with the old cans while Pollux started building a criss-cross tower out of old Jenga pieces.

Sen tossed it. Sen missed. Sen used minor telekinesis- the strongest her telekinesis ever really got- to pick it back up and bring it over. Sen tossed. Sen missed. Sen did more telekinesis.

"Maybe we should start building it." Pollux suggested as he laid another wooden block.

Sen tossed. Sen missed. Sen did more telekinesis.

"Or not. I don't care either way." Pollux shrugged. His tower fell over and he slammed his head on the table. "I hate everything."

Sen tossed. Sen missed. Sen did more telekinesis.

"I'm bored." Pollux announced.
