[Verbal fight begins now?]

''Are we walking?'' repeated Zaina, still a dazed,'' Why did you do that to that man? I mean, he didn't even do anything to you,''

''Zaina, drop it, why are you arguing with him?'' sighed Anubis, but Zaina ignored him, and said, a little flustered,'' Do you always tackle others who...who are weaker than you? That's why you work out so much, huh? I'm walking, I don't know about you. Thanks for letting me in, I appreciate it,''

Saying that, she walked away, and ignored Anubis yelling in her head,'' You idiot! We're in ASGARD. How do we plan on getting back?!''

------

''Are you a god or a demigod?''

Yates sighed loudly, and ran a hand through his thick hair. Okay, this girl was either off her rockers, or stupid. Seriously, you don't come up to a random person on the street and ask them something confidential! he thought to himself. 

''Excuse me?'' he said in a very credible Australian accent,'' I don't know what you're talking about. Have you seen my mother? She's around 5'7'', and I think I've lost her. She's got thick curly hair, and blue eyes. Could you help me, lady?''

If that girl was a fellow demigod, though...Yates shivered at the thought of that. He didn't like being a demigod. There, the cat was out of the bag now. He wanted to live a normal life, and being a demigod didn't *censored*ure that. Therefore, he had to stayed out of every demigod's way for the past 25 years. With the exception of that Loki's son, he thought to himself.

''Do you remember the things you say, Dryac? I didn't want your help, alright? You were the one who gave it. I didn't ask your help, remember? Seriously, you've got a problem!'' yelled Zaina, her ears turning pink,'' I can do whatever I want, for crying out loud! I'm my own goddamn person. I can live without your mediocre help,''

Zaina paused, waiting for Anubis to retort, but surprisingly, the god in her head didn't, and she huffed loudly. ''No, you immortal snob, we're not. I can live wherever I want, without your help. No one had asked for it,''

Saying that, she stalked off, walking in the other direction. She sighed angrily, and yelled mentally,''Why aren't you commenting on my behavior?!''

''Because it doesn't need a comment from me,'' said Anubis softly.

Zaina gulped at his ambiguous answer, and flopped down on a bench she saw not far away, covered by large trees from inquisitive eyes.

''What in the world am I going to do here...''groaned Zaina with a sigh.

-----

''I'd rather act oblivious of your godly...-vessel, did you call it?- that acknowledge it, alright?'' snapped Yates, a wee bit flustered. He lowered his voice and continued,'' I'm Idunn's son, just so you know. I only told you this so you don't mistake me for a son of Loki. I'd rather die than be mistaken for one. You hear me? Now, if I were you, I'd walk away from here, and tell no one about this. I'm asking just this from you. This...conversation, we had here? I'm pleading with you, it should not reach the wrong ears,'' 

Dryac snapped his fingers, causing his helmet to engage, before walking away from the scene where the fight had taken place. "Not worth my time." He walked past Thor, patting his shoulder as he did so, "My Dad comes, don't let him help her... I understand it's only direct relatives that can help a perosn in Asgard... But try not and let him." Thor nodded, patting his nephew on the back as he walked towards Odin.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Abi looked at the boy with a slight look ofdissapointment, "Shame, I always thought a norse demigod or god would be much... cooler."

(I'm havving trouble thinking... where should we go from here?)

[I'm skipping Zaina's part. Don't have a good enough muse. We should decide on what to do for those two as well.]

----

Yates scoffed, at the girl, a look of utter disdain crossing his face. How was this girl? She certainly wasn't old enough to know what the world had in store for her. Trying to be a little courteous, he sighed, and said,'' Listen. If you want 'cool', go and watch a Disney flick, or go and meet Dryac. You'd probably like the glamour that surrounds his life. However, my ideals aren't the same as yours, apparently. I've lived for a very long time, and believe me, living life as a normal person is much better than gallivanting around painting the town red, alright?''

He sighed, for the umpteenth time, and flopped down on a bench he spotted. He removed a bar of chocolate from his pocket, breaking off a piece, and offering some to the girl.

''Chocolate?'' he said,'' Believe me, kid. Things are much better when life's much simpler. I don't expect you to be of the same opinion as me, but sooner or later...''

He trailed off with a curt nod, and started to gaze at a kid playing a game of Hide and Seek with his mother, hoping he had had the chance to live a normal life.

[No idea. o_o Asgard, or bring the other two here? Yates could instigate feelings of dislike towards Dryac in Abi, and it could be a Zaina and Dryac versus Abi and Yates kinda thing. What say?] 

[I like that.... let's see what I can do]

Dryac sighed, walking over to Zaina who was on the bench, sitting next to haer and laying a hand on her shoulder, his helmet diengaging yet again. "Listen... I'm sorry for what i said. I get what you want and here you go." He teleported the two of them back to the stands were they had originally met, sighing when he saw Yates sat on a bench with another powerful being, "This ought to be... troublesome."

Abi stood didn't take the chocolate, shaking her head slightly, "I'm not one for sugar, Isis tends to provide whatever energy I need, it's only really the odd hunk of meat and loaf of bread I need of late." She grimaced and cried out in pain, the headache in her skull growing worse, as if something was trying to escape through her brain. "At least dull the pain, Isis."

"Can't honey, this is no natural headahce. Look behind you." She turned slowly to see another demigod. She turned back to yates, nodding backwards slightly, "This another Norse one?"

Zaina smiled at Dryac, and nodded curtly,'' Thanks- Hey, what the hell?''

Zaina was looking in the same direction as Dryac. However, her eyes fell on the girl, and Zaina couldn't help but cringe. Oh, she knew Abigor well. She didn't like the girl one bit, and turning to Dryac, she said,'' Dryac...I don't know what you're talking about, but I don't like what I'm looking at. Abigor and I...we've got a history, and not a good one. She's got Isis inside of her, and darn, do I hate that god!''

''Yes, I hate Isis too!'' grumbled Anubis,'' Stupid, snooty...''

He continued murmuring a string of curses, and Zaina couldn't help but smile a bit to herself. That was the Anubis she was used to- the crazy, delusional Anubis that she actually could tolerate. She sighed, and looked at Dryac. Although she didn't know the demigod well, she knew him well enough to trust his decision, and he'd obviously been in more fights than her. She waited patiently for a response from him.

-----

Yates cursed aloud when his eyes met Dryac's, and he looked away, and said,'' Yeah, that's...Dryac, the son of Loki. You'd probably get along with him, but I don't like him one bit. We're not on good terms with each other. Who's the other chick? She seems like one of your kind,''

Yates rolled his eyes, and grabbing Abigor's shoulder and pulling her away with ease, he started walking in the opposite direction of Dryac. Before she could pull away from him, Yates said,'' Listen, I know I'm not the kind of person you'd like to befriend, but trust me on this, alright? Don't go mingling around with...him. I may seem as a coward, but if cowardice justifies my actions, I don't care.''

He let go off her arm, and biting his lip, he said,'' Who's side are you going to be on?'' 

Yates stared at the girl in disbelief, and shook his head. God, girls and their obsession with boys. It was nauseating, really. He poked Abigor, and said,'' No, Abigor. We do not call the enemy 'cute'. 'Cute' is a term we use for plump babies and puppies...not him,''

He turned to look at Dryac, and couldn't help but get angry. There was something about Mr. Obnoxious that really ticked him off. However, Yates didn't want to get into a fight. Fights weren't his thing. Fights...made man ruthless, and he didn't like that.

''You coming, Abigor?'' he said, turning his back on Dryac,'' I don't want to get into a squabble for no reason,''

----

Zaina sighed deeply, and crossed her arms before flopping down on a bench nearby. She removed a cube of cheese she'd stolen from Dryac's house, and nibbled on it.

''Whatever, you're the man...'' she drawled, feeling too lazy to fight.

''You're useless,'' mumbled Anubis.

''Hey, I've been fighting and running my entire time. Why should I pick a fight with the freakshow out there for no reason? Plus, if you look at it, she's not a major enemy. The Rebels are. I don't want to waste my energy on nothing,''

- 

Dryac looked over his shoulder and saw Yates about to walk away, he shot his hand out and used the manipulation his father had taught him to create an invisible wall in front of the cherub. "Where are you going, boy? We haven't decided what to do with you yet." He smiled wickedly, before leaving the wall where it was and turning back to Zaina,

"C'mon, this may be your one and only golden opportunity to whup this girl back into her place?" He knew just which buttons to press from his years of training young demigods, knew just what to say to convince somebody that fighting was the correct course of action. "If you don't do this now she may look down on you as a coward for the rest of your natural... or unnatural, i don't know how you guys work, life."

(Sorry for the crummy post, I'm doing a tonne of coursework at the moment,)

Yates turned and glowered at the boy, immensely frustrated. Who the hell he thought he was, God personified? He scowled, and turned to face Dryac. 

'' Just let me go alright? I don't want to fight with you. It's silly. I didn't do anything to you, you didn't do anything to me. Let me go, and we can forget all about this!''

He looked over at Abigor, and sighed.

''Do you seriously want to fight with...them?'' he grumbled.

----

Zaina sighed, contemplating about it. She bit her lip, wanting to put the girl back into her place.

''No!'' groaned Anubis,'' It would be silly, Zee. She's on your side, remember?''

'' Yeah, but she's also a b-"

'' Oh, come on. I told you. Limit your thoughts to a PG rating, alright?'' scowled Anubis.

Zaina ignored him, and turned to Dryac, a little doubtful," I don't know...she hasn't done anything to me, has she? I mean, she might be a annoying brat, but...''

[Sorry. >.< Just not in the right frame of mind now, to write about violence and stuff. ]
