Leon tilted his head slightly, a habit he had of doing when he was perplexed. "Glimpses? Like a prophet." Heused over the piece of information. Now that he had made the resution not to hunt demigods or mortals, he needed facts like these to escape anything hunting him for sport. Little thinfs like this told him what demigods could be capable of.
"So what have you been doing? You okay lately?" Leon asked Tori curiously, wondering for her well being. Being confined to a room would drive him crazy. He enjoyed his freedom. It was one of the perks of being a monster.

Tori shrugged "I'm fine. Just bored. Trapped... Nothing fun really," she told him with a sigh. She wanted to leave, run off, but she wasn't very bold. Nor had a great sense of direction and could easily get lost. Then there was the fact she couldn't defend herself. And didn't have anywhere to run to...

Leon contemplated her reply, wondering how he could help her with it all. Boredom? He could just keep her company for the night, and maybe other nights. He didn't want to risk it, though. The monsters weren't so forgiving. He could be kicked out, teased, yadda yadda. What was more, Tori's dad seemed very strict. He had a pretty strict monitoring on his daughter from what he heard. If he found out he was a monster, or just the simple fact that some random boy had been visiting her, Leon was sure the outlook wouldn't be appositive one.
"Well, I suppose you wouldn't be able to go for a walk in the day, would you?" Leon asked with an amused smile, leaning against the wall casually. His blonde streaked hair was a bit messy after he ran a hand through it. "Sneaking out wouldn't bean option for a goody two shoes like you either, would it?" He joked.

Tori watched him her hazel eyes studying his actions. Her conclusion clear, this must be real, because if this was dream he wouldn't be so real. And if he was a dream she should have fun should she not?
She shook her head sitting on her rolling chair and rolling around momentarily. The faint whispers of the guards behind the door discussing how they would continue these shifts day and night thought the week. Tori still having a rough 4 days left of this sentence "No. My father is rather strict, so I've been in this room forever!" the end with a sigh as she leaned forward on the back of the hair, resting her head on the chair and looking up at him with a look that said Its what happens when I get in trouble.
Tori watched him glad he was there rather than her being bored and alone. As he leaned back she sat up watching him. But his comment made her grin. The challenge very tempting, a flash of mischief crossing her beautiful hazel eyes. "I suppose you don't know me very well," she responded. Tori is anything loved having fun, and she couldn't turn down a dare, a sense of pride.

Leon smirked in reply at her comment, his slyness coming naturally to him. "Oh? So you want to take a walk? Outside, I mean. Tomorrow, I can find a way to sneak you out, unless there are security cameras posted everywhere." He had to be amused at that thought. He couldn't help but wonder how tight everything was around here. It would pose as a nice challenge for him to try and overcome. After all, the mist was usually on his side. Mortals were pretty clueless. The guards would be another story, though.
"If you're not afraid of heights, that is. Or I could just come visit if you're too afraid to try." He teased, standing up off the wall to meet her, seeing if she would take the challenge.
(Oh, when do you think Leon will have to meet her dad?)

(we could make them meet this night for them. Like when they come back)
Tori bit her lip grinning. Knowing that words that came out were not wise "Ill take the challenge, tonight. We can climb from the balcony and you'll see I'm not afraid of heights," she had been high ropes coursing so surely climbing down the balcony shouldn't be too difficult.
Honestly Tori didn't know how tight the security was. She knew of the guards, but she wasn't aware of the cameras stationed out on her balcony and one in the office section of her room. She wasn't aware of the sensitive rails that would activate an alarm if touched in a order that could only be achieved by climbing out off the balcony to the ground using the safest route. nor of the tracking devise her father had inserted on her jacket after she was grounded.

(Woah, Leon's gonna be in trouble!! Okay, let's do it! He can even threaten Leon or whatever with the guards.)
Leon blinked in surprise as she rose to his challenge. He smiled at her confidence in herself. She had guts, he had to give her that. "I'll go down first, so I can catch you if you fall. Be careful, okay?" He replied almost teasingly before running over the balcony and clearing it easily, hanging onto the bottom with a strong grip.
"Don't worry, I won't die." He made sure to call back up in the process. He dropped a few feet, clinging onto a jutting part of the wall before jumping the rest of the way down easily. He had the balance of a cat, after all. He landed softly on the grass. "I'm good. Your turn, Mrs. Bravery." He told her,wondering if she could hear.
(Feel free to have the guards come out and try to kill him or whatever.)

Tori laughed raising an eyebrow. She was confident of her skills and nearly certain she wouldn't fall. Pulling on her jacket she climbed into the railing of her balcony. Wanting to prove her bravery and skill she jumped onto the ledge and clung onto the building and swung onto the roof sliding downwards and nearly into a bush. Landing on the ground with a thud, rubbing her palms together.

Leon's heart lept up his throat when she slid off the roof. She looked about ready to make a mistake- and to fall into the bushes. With her vulnerability unlike him, he was afraid for her. He would never break his neck in a fall because of his hard skin. He walked under her just in case she did have an error, but found that it was of no need. She made it safely to the ground and he grinned in congratulations.
"Well, not bad." Leon admitted to her bravery with a sly smile. Little did he know, the household was being alerted of thhem right now.

Tori smiled “Not my best, I do a lot of ropes coursing. This though I admit is slightly more difficult,” she told him with a shrug. Her hazel eyes looking up at him with a bit of pride, brushing some of her blonde hair back she got up and brushed herself off. “So where to?” she asked tilting her head to the side.
Indoors the guards were currently knocking on her door. Calling her name having seen the bright alarm showing somebody had intruded. Or left. Two sons of Ares were already opening the door the houses’ light flooding onto the yard as they searched the darkness for the person. A child of Athena though had already started tapping into the cameras in her room.

Leon grinned back, "Well, walls weren't built for mere humans to climb." He turned around, searching the yard for any signs of movement. "Well, I think it's clear, we can go now..."
The monster was interrupted as a bright light flashed straight into his face. He was blinded for a moment, stumbling back and closing his eyes as they struggled to adjust to the sudden brightness. How? He had come so easily, sneaking in, but how had they caut them going out? He was sure Tori hadn't made enough noise or anything... Too late to think about it now, because he was racing away back into the shadow, away from the tracking light. "Get back, Tori!" He hissed at her as the Ares guards came out. He drew his sword in defense as they came after him, silently thanking the Fates sarcastically for him not throwing it away after ceasing his hunting.
"It's a monster!" One of the demigods exclaimed. Leon cursed their intuition. He blocked the first attack and rolled away to avoid the others. No matter how many there were, he was still experienced. But these were all children of Ares. He was going to have a problem soon enough.

Tori unlike Leon couldn't fight with a sword. Not that she had one anyway. But she wasn't going to run. Closing her eyes she thought, feeling a sense of warmth as the children of Ares started slowing down, their thoughts no longer on Leon but rather their families waiting for them at home. The biggest one stopped fighting "I'm going to go see my wife..." he muttered dazed as a sense of love and deep appreciation to her lead him away.
Muscles tensing she tried to focus, but her ADHD wasn't much help at the moment as the clash of metal made her eyes burst open. Sneaking around in the darkness she picked up a rather heavy branch from the ground dragging it slightly as she walked behind the children of Ares. Silent and careful she swung it at them like a softball bat, but had it slip out of her hands as she avoided getting splinters.
The children of Ares who were hit hissed in fury and spun to face her but she was already slipping into the shadows again unsure of how getting caught by her guards would help.

Leon felt like yelling at Tori when she decided to stay and fight. Besides, weren't these her guards? Couldn't she order them around? But anyway, he had to duck as two came at him. Double teaming was not fair at all. They didn't seem to be aiming at vital parts, though. Looked like they wanted him alive for some reason? Her father's orders maybe? That ticked him off.
Leon had no choice but to counter attack the next guard, making sure so that they would keep his distance. There were simply too many of them. He noticed Tori with her branch creeping up behind one of them, and when she swung the branch, he almost yelled at her to get away. Now when the guard whirled around to face her, he got really scared. What if he didn't recognize her in the dark? What if he hurt her?
"Hey, you big son of a-" He didn't get to finish his sentence. What was he supposed to say? War god? A sword came right out of the blue while his attention was turned. He had time to deflect it with his arm, but two guards caught him by the shoulders and slammed him- rather painfully too- against the wall of the house. There was a burst of stars and Leon just kind of slumped for a moment in their grasp. He had to take a minute to regain his senses before he started his useless struggling. They were far too big for him.

Tori didn't know what to do. Her insides freezing cold as they grabbed Leon. She had to think, she had to do something. But how could the daughter of Aphrodite possibly defeat the sons of Ares? Their was no chance, was there? But she didn't even have a weapon.
Deciding it would be best to just try to get there attention she picked up a stone and threw it at the head of one of the guards. Sure they were her guards, but her father would've have told them to get her back. And they listen to him, not her. So she continued throwing stones until the guard looked back, Tori only a dark shadow therefore her identity hidden.

Leon thrashed violently in their grip, trying desperately to free himself. His sword was already quickly confiscated, and some of them were discussing what to do with him. A monster should be killed, but he was intruding. The "master" wanted them to keep any intruders alive. Okay, alive it was. But he was struggling like crazy, and it was hard to just peel him off the wall with a good grip on him.
The two guards kept Leon against the wall, sometimes whacking him a few times in an effort to quiet him or just straight knock him out. Being battered around, he was growing exhausted and dazed. Tori was still throwing those stupid rocks and getting the guards' attentions. He couldn't stop now, and he was trying his best to keep all their attentions off of the girl. She would be in a boatload of trouble if she got caught, right? But they were already going after the figure hidden in the darkness.
