Nico's POV
As I recollect myself I become more agitated, my throat burned but I still manage to choke out something.
"That a-all you... got?" As I turn in his direction. I know it was a stupid thing to say but I wanted to see the rage boil inside him, he looks hot when he's angry. I chuckle to myself while I realised how mad that would make him. I raise my hands off the floor and lean on my knees, soaking in the sun and cool breeze. I can sense Percy looking at me, most likely judging but then bends on the floor for something. I open my eyes and see Percy has gained possession of his sword again.
"Great." I mumble quietly to myself. I launch myself up and stare at him dead in the eye. I move my jacket out of the way of my belt, showing Percy I also had a weapon. I reach for my sword on the hostler attached to my belt and pull it out slowly. As I pull it out it shines a neon black colour and doubles the size of what it looked like on my belt. I hold it out infront of me with both hands, I didn't have much training but what else could I possibly use in this situation? A stick? I just hope that the Gods are on my side.
Percy's POV
Nico's still crouched over on the ground when he blurts out something.
"That a-all you... got?" It was blotchy and hard to hear but I picked it up. Alright. If that how he wants it. That's how he'll get it. I look at the ground to my left and see my sword laying on the dirt, when the time comes i'll probably need it. I watch Nico upgrade to his knees, really soaking in all that nature. What. A. Weirdo. I turn to my left and pick up the sword that was abandoned on the ground. I watch him jolt up as he's suddenly alarmed by my sword reappearing. After a while of glaring at each other he shifts his jacket and I could just barely see something covered by it. He pulls out whatever was behind his jacket and holds it out infront of him. It was his sword. I noticed his hands were shaking a little, as he didn't hold much confidence in the way he stood. I thought to myself, if it really came down to it, could I kill him? I shake the thoughts away. Yes. I can. I wait for him to make the first move but as I guessed by his stance he hasn't really trained much in the sword category. Not nearly as much as I have. So I decide to make the first move.
