Ezra chuckled softly but stared at the double headed spear in curiosity. Khione? He swore he had heard that someplace before, but he couldn't place where. “Yeah I guess its pretty cool…” But also kind of odd.
Quickly, the boy from before was shoved aside and the girl who had been leading them around swooped in, slinging an arm across his shoulders even though he was taller than her. "Excuse you but this one looks to be my teammate now." She said and then smiled towards Ezra. He guessed she was his team leader for capture the flag? "I'd watch out if I were you... If you thought it was bad with just me on the opposing team, now I have an ice bender. You do the math.” Ezra blinked in confusion. Ice bender? Was that some kind of trait from Khione? Now that he thought about it… He had always been a bit weird when it came to ice.
When he was younger he used to run outside in the winter and be completely fine in the cold when others had been freezing or gotten hypothermia. Whenever he had a hand on his drink, it never got cold no matter how long he had it. And in the hot summers he always did feel much more sick and had bad cases of heat stroke. He supposed he was an ice bender?
"What was your name?” The girl asked to him as she grabbed a helmet with a blue mohawk and handed it to him. “Uh… Ezra.” He replied and scratched his head. ”So how much control of your icy talents do you have?” Ezra set the staff down to tap the floor and suddenly a patch of ice coated where they stood, making a person slip and fall on his ass. He chuckled nervously. “Not very much is seems.” He was glad that she seemed to know what she was doing. He would have to stick by her.

After the match, Ezra sat down at a table with Reagan and Cassidy. He was sore in places he had never thought he would be sore before, and he was fairly active in general. He began to shovel food into his mouth, trying to regain some of that energy. Reagan turned to him and pointed her empty fork his way. He had seen what she could do with some knives, he was almost scared of the fork. "We gotta train together. Ice and water... Dude we'll be unstoppable.” Ezra laughed and nodded. “Sounds good. It would be better to have someone who knows what they are doing.”
When she turned her attention back to Cas, Ezra looked around and saw Maya looking for a place to sit. He waved her down with a grin and patted the seat beside him. When she plopped down beside him, he grinned. “You did really good out there. I didn’t think anyone could be good with two swords but you were. Just like the movies.” He laughed. "Even if we lost I'm glad you were on my team."

Lexa grabbed her post-game meal and sat down at her very own table. No one ever sat at this table. Ever since she had arrived, the table had been claimed as her own and most of the campers steered clear of it. She sat down and pulled out a book, beginning to read as she ate. She wasn’t surprised when no one came congratulating her for her groups win, even though most of the success landed on her and Beckett’s shoulders.
Speaking of the devil, she glanced up when she felt the weight shift at the table and spotted the boy sitting across from her. She blinked in surprise. He wanted to sit with her? The again, where was he going to sit otherwise? Her table screamed outcast.
The man had barely been there for a minute when the Aphrodite girls made their way over. She almost vomited. Of course there had been respectable Aphrodite girls like Piper long before, but most girls stayed the same. Vain, lustful, overdone and mostly grotesque.
"It's Beck right?” one of the girls giggled with a rasp to her voice.
Beckett didn’t look very happy about the girls presence either and Lexa blessed the gods for that. She would have had to rethink her pending alliance with him if he was easily swayed by pretty girls. ”Beckett,” he corrected.
The blonde girl didn't seem to take the cue and brushed it off. ”You were so amazing out there."
"I don't think I've ever seen someone move the way you did... It was like you could see what your opponents were going to do... before they did it.” Another girl giggled, giving him bedroom eyes. Lexa was about ready to snap. Not only because the girls were being obnoxious, but also because they didn’t seem to realize she was right there.
Beckett rolled his eyes and took his drink, downing half the cup like he wished it was something more than just plain water or pop. She herself wished she could drown herself in her own chalice.
"That was the first time in over a decade that our team won and it's all because of you." The blonde flirtatiously brushed her hand on his shoulder. Lexa was about to slap this girl. Maybe they had won because of his help, but she was right there, the team captain no less and she was dissing her right in front of her face! Sometimes she wondered if she was really invisible all of the time.
Lexa looked up and blinked in surprise when Beck slammed his goblet down and glared at the girls. ”Well it's not like you Aphrodite kids helped." He stabbed his fork into a piece of meat angry and Lexa watched in half awe, half amusement. "You were too busy doing your makeup to help." He then ate the food from the utensil with some force.
The girls though, didn't seem to take the hint to leave and just continued on. ”He’s so tense... Maybe we should help him relax."
The new kid grabbed her wrist before she could do any damage. ”No, I don't want to sleep with you. I want to eat my meal in peace and pretend that I'm not some fucking freak. So why don't you go seduce some naive newbie and leave me alone." Beckett released her wrist. The girls, finally realizing he wasn't falling for it, ran off with squeals and whispers. Lexa looked at the boy and held back a laugh before looking back down at her book and trying to pretend nothing had just happened.
"Are they like that around every new camper with a penis?” Beckett asked out of the blue and Lexa couldn’t help but laugh then. She covered her mouth as she chuckled and shook her head in amusement. If she had been paying attention, she would have seen some of the shocked faces around her, all staring her down. No one ever saw Lexa laugh. No one.
“It usually helps if they are attractive.” She smirked and motioned towards him. Not that she was fawning over him, but she did have eyes. “Also, they seem to fall for anything that can can give them a popularity boost. The mysterious, dark, new kid who won the game for the red team, I can just see the headlines now.” She joked and shoved a piece of food in her mouth. She should have been happy they won, but somehow the campers were really taking away from the fact that they had been successful against Reagan for once.
“Anyways… They weren't completely wrong. You did do really well out there. Thanks for having my back.” She shrugged and flipped a page of her leather bound book. Oh how she loved the classics. She briefly wondered if the new kid liked books.
Beckett and Lexa had somehow become a unified team out on that field, something that had won them the game. Everywhere Lexa attacked, Beckett was right beside her and the two of them downed almost all of the defence before Lexa had grabbed onto that flag. It had almost seemed at times that everyone had just slowed down, making it easy for them to make quick work of them. She knew it had to have something to do with the new kid but she didn’t think it was he replace to ask him.
