Tiny bit of Reyisa today! ^_^
To Norlium- thank you! I don't personally ship Pernico, but I can see why people do! But I'd kill for Solangelo, so there is that :P
KotlcExpert521- if you read this, give us a wave. Do you want Pernico endgame or Percabeth/Solangelo/Pernico confusion? What works best for you?
To RandomFanAuthor- when you say increasingly difficult, this is Lou we're talking about- surely she's reached maximum difficult already?
To HoO Fan- (Chapter 5)- I say Jasper, I did start one! It's in one of my many many notebooks somewhere D: There will be Leoisa, but there's a thing I need to do first- technically, I wasn't even going to post this Reyisa one until this other thing, buuuut I want feedback on it, so yay! ^_^ And what is this sibling love you speak of? It's sibling RIVALRY! Mwhahaha!
"No, don't do it."
"I'm sorry, Lou, but it has come to this."
"No, Reyna, please. We've come too far."
"You didn't come far enough. Uno. Draw four, bitch."
"Fuck you." Louisa threw down her cards, pouting. Reyna smirked, laying her last card down as well. "Again." Louisa requested.
"But you keep losing."
"Again." Louisa insisted. Reyna sighed, gathering the cards. "You keep cheatin'."
"You can't cheat at Uno, Lou. It's a game of chance." She shuffled the deck, Louisa watching her hands distractedly. "How about a different game? Chess, maybe. I can teach you that." In form of answer, Louisa blew a raspberry. Reyna suppressed another sigh, setting the cards to one side. "Why don't we go for lunch first?"
"Ya could've said that sooner." Louisa grinned. She stood, flourishing her hand and making grabby motions until Reyna tucked her hand in her own. Louisa's hand, as always, was cold; calloused fingers intertwining gently with Reyna's.
She swung their arms as they walked, a habit Reyna had grown used to. With a smile and a little tug, she could heel the action, even if only for a moment. Louisa always pouted at this, beaming when she deemed it safe to start again.
As they walked through Camp, Reyna was greeted with salutes, given reports, asked a multitude of questions. She could hardly go a few paces before stopping. And with Louisa literally at hand, it stopped her too, much to her chagrin. Reyna had more patience for the questions, at least outwardly.
Louisa did not.
She dropped Reyna's hand and, quick as a flash, unclasped the praetor's cloak and swung it about her own shoulders.
"We're on lunch!" She declared, hands flailing and then billowing the cloak out either side of her. "Dismissed!"
"Can she do that?" Dakota asked.
"No, she can't." Reyna tried not to smile, raising an eyebrow. "Give it back, Lou."
"Nah." And Louisa sprinted away, with a cheeky cackle. Reyna sighed.
"I will mentor the probatios' training later," she said, patting Dakota's shoulder, "now if you'll excuse me…" Dakota nodded, but she was already gone, gaining ground on Louisa. The cloak thief glanced back, her grin vanishing with an "Oh shit" before pouring on speed.
Reyna caught up with her just before she reached the Pomerian line, tackling Louisa from behind. She wrestled her cloak from her as they rolled. Reyna pinned Louisa, sitting astride her stomach and keeping her arms trapped with her knees. She swished her cloak around her, clasping it, before looking down with a smirk. "How many times will it take before you realise it's mine and you're not allowed it?"
"Mmmm… what am I up to now?"
"Too much."
"Double it." Louisa flashed a sweet smile, a devilish light flitting in her eyes. Reyna crossed her arms over her chest and the smile dimmed. "Buzzkill, Rey-Rey." Louisa squirmed, testing the imprisonment on her arms. Reyna watched her expectantly, a bubble of amusement welling in her chest. "Fuck." She grumbled, turning her head this way and that, trying to look above her. "That's the Pomeranian Line, right?"
"Pomerian."
"That's what I said!" She tried to wiggle her arms free again, sighing. "That's it, I'm tellin' Terminus. TERMINUS!" She yelled, throwing her head back. "TERMINUS!"
"I heard you the first time." The statue grumbled, appearing with a 'pop' beside them. "Praetor Ramirez-Arellano, are you having trouble?"
"No. Lou is though."
"Well, I would expect as much. She has a penchant for causing trouble and a magnetic quality of finding it."
"Aww, didn't know ya cared, Termy!" Louisa beamed at him.
"Do not call me Termy."
"Too late." Louisa twisted sharply, almost tipping Reyna off. She looped her arms under Reyna's legs and then bounced to her feet, giving Reyna a piggyback. "Right, Termy, we want food." Terminus glowered at her. "Food." Louisa pressed, holding on tight as Reyna tried to escape. Terminus scoffed, regarding Louisa coolly. Louisa didn't seem to notice. "Fooood. Ah, no, you stay!"
"Lou, put me down!"
"Nope!"
"Praetor, may I leave her with you? If she wishes to come in the city, she must come through the authorised route."
"Of course, Terminus, I'll remind her." Terminus vanished with a scowl. Reyna tried squirming to get down, but Louisa was having none of it. "Lou."
"Reyna."
"It's not very professional of the praetor to get a piggyback."
"I thought ya knew what ya were gettin' into, Rey-Rey."
"What, dating you?"
"Yeah!" When Reyna gave a dubious hum, Louisa laughed maniacally. "Fuck the rules!" She declared, jolting forward and breaking into a run. Reyna startled, crying out her name and clamping her arms around her neck. "GONNA GET FOOD!"
"GONNA GET MURDERED!"
"LIFE GOALS!"
