Snippet #2250982

Ish grinned when shoved by Max, and didn't shove back, chuckling and responding in kind. "Destiny and fate being what it is, me saying anything isn't going to change a thing, is it?" A cheap stab at the Greek Oracle's and how their prophecies always seemed to work out true in one way or another. Ish himself didn't buy the whole idea of fate and a lack of choice in the slightest. Humanity was too chaotic, too random, and there was enough human blood in the demi's that he had an idea that it was up to the individual whether they took after the Gods, including their apparent clinging to the Fate they are given, or take after the chaotic randomness of humans and wing it, for good or ill. Of course, when Sage got Lucas's attention, Ish observed what was worth interrupting their back and forth mutterings and such about occurring between the group. Three Kindly Ones, well that was not good, not in the slightest. He still had a self satisfied smirk on his face, really having hoped that someone would take him up on the bet now more than ever, rather than dwell on the fact that things were indeed going down hill, and hard too from the appearance of three.

Lucas spoke about a fight on the bus, and looked at the situation and had to agree. Of course all he did was smirk and shrug at the statement about jinxing luck. He wouldn't give him the satisfaction of a response of any sort, beyond a minor one at best. "Shame none of you took the bet." He was speaking quietly enough not to attract attention of anyone outside their group, of course, he wasn't so stupid as to boldly proclaim everything being said. The bus was narrow, barely enough room for any sort of normal day to day activity, let alone some sort of brawl between them and the Furies. Well, not if they tried and play fair fight with the creatures, and he did have a trick or two up his sleeves. Never left the cabin without something, it paid off when the Ares kids tried to pick fights of some sort or another. But hopefully that wouldn't be necessary, for the sole fact he didn't want to waste anything so early. On the bus, already pulling tricks? Of course, another issue was collateral between them and the normal folks on the bus. Sure, normal Bronze may not do a thing to them, but he hadn't the foggiest idea when it came to Stygian. Not the best time to find out, so he waited until provoked, and could provide a proper reaction.
