Atticus had gone shopping with Zeus the day before and had decided to stop by to see his sister.  He had been surprised when Zeus had allowed him to pick out a few things to give to her and was excited to see her reaction to them.  One of the items he picked was a dress he thought she would like.  He knew that dress where not always practical for them and he did hope that she liked it.  He had also picked her out a pair of jeans and a simple red shirt.  He wore the purple button up shirt and the jeans that Zeus had first picked up for him and he uncharacteristically ran a comb through his hair.  He knew his knew look would probably raise questions with his sister but he also wanted her to know anyway.  He place a knock on her door and when she answered and pulled her into a hug before handing her the bag of goodies.

Vivian answered the door after someone knocked seeing her brother she grinned hugging him back when he hugged her. "Ohh goodies." She said talking the bag and dumping it out on the bed too excited about the presents to worry about what he was wearing. "This is awesome." She exclaimed picking up the dress and holding it against herself twirling around. It was a silky short purple dress that came down to her mid thigh. "I love it thanks Atticus." She said before rushing over and hugging him again with a happy smile before going back and picking up the jeans and examining them. They were high tops that would button up to her hips she loved them she threw them down and threw herself into Atticus' arms hugging him tightly. "They are all amazing and they are brand names, how did you afford them?" She asked hoping that he didn't get offended at her question.

Atticus grinned when she said she liked it and blushed slightly at her question. "Well that is where things get interesting and to be honest they still sorta feel like a dream. I'm not even sure you would believe me if I told you. I was convinced it was a dream until I opened the door to my cupboards this morning. I could not have shop lifted every thing I have got. I will tell you if you promise not to laugh", he replied. He waited for some sort of confirmation from her before continuing. "For reasons I still can't fathom, lord Zeus has taken an interest me", he replied, watching her expression to see her thoughts. He knew he was taking a risk, if Hera found out then he was likely dead.

"Really?" She asked turning to look at him with wide eyes, she knew what he meant it sounded so unbelievable but she knew that it had to be the truth and she hoped that Zeus wasn't playing with her brother because he deserved the world for raising her and keeping her safe while raising her away from camp. "Wow, I mean that's great, if you like him too that is. So do you like him? Or are you just being polite to him because you are too nice to tell him to back the hell off?" She said moving closer to him waiting for his answer she hoped that she liked him because he deserved it.

Atticus moved further into the room and took a seat. "I only met him yesterday which is what makes it so hard to admit I do." He laughed softly, just because I can never say no to you doesn't mean I can't turn down a guy", he continued with a smile. "I want to see if this can work. He is the king of the gods which is intimidating but I think I might already love him", he took a bit for him to admit this to his sister. He had never been one to truly let out his thoughts in this matter with her at least until recently. It had taken him a while to realise how much she had grown. "I know it's early and I know the risks if Hera finds out but I think it's worth it."

"Ohh My Gods!" She squealed jumping at him and wrapping her arms around him and hugging him tight. "I didn't think this would ever happen! I'm so happy for you, don't worry I'm sure that Zeus will protect you from Hera and from what I hear she hadn't been seen around camp for ages so I don't think that she'll bother you till she comes back, if she comes back that is. Ohh I'm so happy, I have to meet him to make sure that he's good enough for you big brother because if I don't meet him I can't threaten him against hurting you."

Atticus chuckled and hugged her back, "anyone would think I just said that i won the lottery", he replied with a smile. He tapped her nose as he had done many times when she was a children, "And I will have you know I can look after myself, little sis. I don't want to scare him off after all." He loved his sister but right now he was still to unsure of the relationship to want to expose it to threatening from his little sister. "How have your couple of days here been?, he asked, laying back on her bed.

Want me to add Seth in here now?

"Awwww that's no fair I wanna threaten the king of the gods." She says with a cheeky wink a pout on her lips. She flopped down onto the bed next to him. "I met this guy at the edge of the barrier and he was hopeless, he had no idea what hell hounds where and what demigods were either it's so strange, I mean most kids know what's going on but he had no idea on the other hand he wasn't scared of me which was different ever since coming to camp as soon as they others know who my father was they were scared of me so that's nice, ohh and he gave me a tattoo." She said shoving her arm into his face showing off the tattoo that he had given to her, I also met Seth, he's here!" She said hugging him.

"No your not having a go at Zeus. Who knows what you will do to him", Atticus replied with a smirk. He chuckled softly at the story about the boy and was about to say that they where just the lucky ones, when she mentioned the tattoo. He was about to say something when he next words actually registered. "Wait.....He's actually alive?", he asked, thinking he must have heard the name wrong. "I always hoped, but I was never really believed it was possible. We barely survived at times with the two of us and your way of knowing when our time was running short." He wanted to believe it was true but all logical thought lead to it being very unlikely. It was when he heard something at the door and turned to see him standing there that he finally actually believed. He had grown but Atticus could still see his little brother there, looking unsure if he should enter. When Seth flinched as Atticus moved to hug him, he ignored it and held him anyway. He had thought he would never see him again.

Vivian Parker and Seth Parker

Seth had been standing in the door for just a few moments when he heard his name mentioned by his siblings. He had been about to knock and now just stood with his hand awkwardly raised as if to knock. He wasn't sure whether to believe what his brother was saying and hadn't realized he had scoffed until his brother was standing and moving towards. He flinched slightly when the older guy reached him, half thinking he was going to hit him. He relaxed slightly once he realized that it was only a hug and he wrapped his arms around him. "If I am to be honest it was only due to my skill with metal and the help of other demigods that I didn't", he replied, admitting that he had heard them talking. He pulled away from his brother for a moment and drew the dagger he had spent the night making for Vivian. The hilt was shaped to hold many little skulls and the scabbard was shaped the with the same. "I planned on making something for you to Atticus but I doubt I can make anything as good as what Zeus can give you." The words came with a teasing smile to his brother.
