Jeyna: A History

Jason

The eavesdropping idea didn't go as well as planned. He heard bits and pieces but nothing significant. He also got hit in the face with a door. When Reyna came out of the Principia he was leaning a little too close and the door had opened a little too fast and next thing he knew he was on the ground holding his nose. He really hoped it wasn't broken! He couldn't go back into the medical tent with another broken nose. That would be three times this month! "Oh gods! Are you alright? I'm sorry! I didn't mean to- Wait why were you standing so close to the door? Were you listening?" Reyna had seen him on the ground and unfortunately Jason had once again processed the whole situation a bit too slowly. He didn't really give her and answer just rolled over and groaned. She helped him to his feet (Again) and he checked his nose. No blood. That was good, it wasn't broken. The bad part was now he had lost the moral high ground on Reyna. He looked up and met her eyes as she was waiting for and answer. "No! Why would I be listening in on you? I ummm..." He said this with not enough confidence stumbling every few words. "I was just..." He quickly and not so discreetly dropped his coin-sword-spear thing (Its a long story) on the ground. "There! I dropped it and was picking it up! That's all no spying..." He popped the coin back into his front pocket and smiled. Reyna didn't look convinced but she seemed to let the matter go pretty easily. "Your supposed to take me to Jupiter something or other to meet some guy whose going to tell me my future." She said it with such confidence that Jason believed that was the actual orders given by Telemachus. "Oh! you mean the temple of Jupiter Optimums Maximus  to meet out Augur." She had that same look the praetor got when people corrected him. "Isn't that what I just said?" Jason nodded and began to lead her down the path towards temple hill.
