Who: Leo and Dany
What: Showing just how little they know about relationships.
Where: Cabin 9
When: Backdated to a day or two after the Red Room incident.
Why: Because brother/sister bonding over being totally confused.
There were some days where Leo loved what he did, and other days that he was really frustrated by it.
But it wasn't the machines' fault. Not at all! The resentment was more directed at his father, Hephaestus. Sure, the guy was a genius when it came to machines. Leo liked to think he'd inherited that trait, in addition to the lame "blessing" of fire. It balanced out well enough, right? Well, tack on the social ineptitude and the scales tipped a little.
Not that he was always bad with people. Leo liked being around everyone, and he was friendly. He liked making them all laugh. But when it came down to the important stuff, like feelings and thinking and stuff, he didn't have the slightest clue what was going on. Sometimes, he didn't want to know what was going on. It was all too complicated; losing yourself in a machine, with math and logic to explain how it worked, was so much easier.
So after dinner that night, while he was lying on his back on top of the bunk's pile of blankets playing with Caelum, he asked Dany hesitantly, "Did you ever talk to Enjolras?" It seemed to come out of the blue, but they never did really talk about that after the dance, and he's got some questions about his own situation, too. That was the best way he could think of to approach it.

(Really, she should work on a secret room like that for the dragons. Keeping them chained away in the Arena still unnerves her, even though Chiron said that would be for the best , but some of the trainers of old kept their dragons in special dragonpits under their houses...)
She sighs a little, taking Leo's free hand.
"Start at the beginning. Calm yourself, be polite, apologize when warranted, but explain to her why you made the choices you did and when your feelings for her began."

They just haven't discussed what that means. Did they really have to, though, or would that confuse them about an already complicated situation?
