"Good, now I'll go into my own Pegasus and we'll ride side by side." Michael said moving toward his own Pegasus. He untied the reins from the post and climbed into the saddle then slowly rode the Pegasus towards Millie. When he had turned his horse around and they were next to each other Michael said, "Ready? This'll be a small adventure." Let's just hope nothing goes wrong, he thought.

OOC: Oops just realized my mistake and fixed it. It isn't Marcus on this thread sorry for any confusion.

Michael also started forward easily balancing on his horse. So far so good. Let's hope this holds after the stables. "Good job, remember fighting the movement will just make it worse." he said trying to sound encouraging and hoping, wondering if he was succeeding.

Michael hurried off to class deciding to see what the other side of the school experience was. Lets just hope I don't fail at it. he thought.

"Of course not, unless a monster surprise attacks or someone smacks its rear it won't go into a mad gallop or fly. Unless you want it to." said Michael confidently. He took a deep breath and thought, There is a lot more to teaching than I thought. Michael looked around as they slowly rode the Pegasus.

"No problem." Michael said turning away a bit to hide some slight blushing and rubbed his neck before turning back, "Not so bad is it? Soon when your more comfortable, you can try flying. And if it makes you feel more comfortable when that happens I can fly under you while your getting used to it." He added. This is probably the most social time I haven spent with anyone in for like.. ever. he thought.

Michael took his seat near the back of the defense against the dark arts class. I hope that this isn't too bad a class. he thought.

"Right, unless you manage to come back from the underworld via rebirth or escape. Not sure which one is better." said Michael also trying to act nonchalant. "Does this mean you want to try flying?" he asked suddenly a minute later.

"Ok, so there are two ways to get your Pegasus to fly. You can either go the fast way and kick the Pegasus's flank and shout 'Up' then away you go. Or you can go the slow way and rub the base of either wing and bring your Pegasus into a gallop then after a minute the Pegasus will go into the air." said Michael before adding, "I'll show you." Michael then moved forward a little bit and rubbed the base of the right wing which extended slowly. Then he brought his Pegasus to a gallop an into the air they go. I love this feeling. he thought before circling back and landing next to Millie. "Do you think you can do it?" he asked.

OOC: How terribly inaccurate is my idea of horse riding?

Michael smiled and kicked at his Pegasus's flank and shouted, "Up!" The Pegasus unfurled his wings and moved a couple of steps then jumped into the air. Michael glided next to Millie and asked, "Do you want me to still stay below you? Or do you want me to stay next to you?"

Michael grabbed the paper airplane that had hit him and crumpled it up and throw at the only person he knew, Renesma. It must her, she is the only one here that knows me enough to water to do that. he thought only slightly annoyed.

He caught it in mid air and set it down, "You know why..." he said. Fine if that's how you want to play it.. he thought getting his mind ready for the lesson.

OOC: lol thanks.

He also looked away and blushed for a moment before saying thanks, "Well then shall I play tour guide?" He didn't wait for an answer before saying, "Now ladies and gentlemen, if you look down and see blue, that means that is the lake. Then over in some other direction is the forest where you might either be killed or spent time in a nice secluded glade. Also as you all know that building of there is the big house, and those smaller buildings are the cabins for each god or goddesses children. Now if you have any questions please ask the tour guide, that is me." he said do his best to imitate a tour guide from a book he had read.

"Ah yes, the devilish Ares campers whose natural habitat is the Ares cabin and they were once demigods, but they were born with a problem. They children of Ares and so violent that they are labeled dangerous creatures and the ten-foot long snakes infest the forest waiting for an unwary demigod to pass by so they can eat them. Also we cannot forget the terrible sickness that the children of Aphrodite, they are obsessed with looks and reek of perfume called the curse of Perfume and looks obsession!" Michael said also joking. I wish very day could be this day... Thanks dad for the nice skies. he thought as he laid back on his Pegasus, "So Millie the protégée Pegasus rider, what cabin do you belong in?" Michael asked after a minute with his eyes closed.

Michael wasn't sure he wanted to her to know that he was a son of Zues since he didn't really feel like one most of the time. But since she had told him her parent Michael said with a sigh, "Zues." I hope her demeanor towards me doesn't change in any way... he thought worried.

Michael knew what was going on in her head and was grateful for her response. "What do you do when your not staring at a Pegasus Millie?" he asked thinking it best not to leave a silence after such a conversation and found that this was the only thing he could say.

Michael laughed slightly and thought, so far so good... For a few minutes he just lay there before saying, "Now that you can do more than stare at a Pegasus what will add to the list besides, staring at a Pegasus, breathing and blinking?" Idiot! he berated himself, maybe don't talk unless spoken to next time..

Michael was silent for several minutes before answering, "I'm mostly not around people, I either am reading a book alone, practicing weaponry in the forest or riding a Pegasus. Normally staying away from other people." Idiot! he berated himself again, she'll think you're some kind weirdo now! Michael then said with a sigh, "Yep, the wonderful life of a son of Zues."

Michael decided it was safer for him if he either changed the topic or shut up. He decided that it would be safer to change the subject. "How long have you been at camp Millie?" Hopefully that will clear up something from the air. he thought hopefully.

"I have been here since I was seven... so eight years give or take a few months. I am also a year - rounder so ya... not much of a life so far." Michael said with still laying back as best he could looking at the sky, letting his Pegasus take control. Feeling like he had asked enough questions for at least a few minutes so he just relaxed, letting his mind wander.

For the next like five minutes Michael only looked at the sky, thought or occasionally glance/stared at Millie before looking at the sky again. I would totally suck right now if I fell asleep on the Pegasus and fell down to earth. he thought picturing a sleeping him falling seventy feet down to the earth. It was not pretty picture. After five minutes Michael felt he had one last question, well two but he felt like only asking one currently, "Do you feel like landing and giving the Pegasi a brake and maybe doing something else?"
