Weeding Out the Nuisance {OPEN}

[Deleted]

Nathan walked into the baths and headed to the bigger pool. It was a warm day and he had a full day of training and deserved a chance to relax. Gods, he hated the people in his cohort. Such babies full of anger and rage at well, lots of people. Either they were mad at their centurion, the praetors, their friends, enemies, whoever. It was such a tease. Nathan just wanted to push them over the edge, watch then as they stumble into an insane rage and show their true potential to everyone. Would someone get seriously injured or perhaps even die if he did such a thing? Well, it was always a worry that he had to just ignore. Honestly, he could care less what happened to them. They would just die and become plant fertilizer anyway. Their pointless life would be over and he would have has his fun for the day. In all reality he thought it was a win-win situation.

He dropped a towel on a lounge chair as he stretched some and glanced around. Seemed less crowded than normal, people were probably still in training. Fine by him, the less people the more relaxing. That was one reason why he hated the baths during the summer, everyone wanted to go swim in the pools. It was even worse when someone related to Neptune decided to show up and create waves for everyone. Seriously, it's a normal pool, not a wave pool. Go bugger off. Thought Nathan was able to see why so many people would flock here in the heat of summer, he was one of them. But still, it was a heck of a lot nicer when there was less people. More time for him to just enjoy the ambiance of relaxing in a pool undisturbed. That was the thought he had as he climbed the steps down into the pool, ducking his head under quickly before resting his back against the water and floating, his eyes closed and just enjoy the time of peace, something rare for a child of Discordia to want.

  All Guin wanted to do at the moment was go to the pools. Her entire body was sore from a toughs day of training. She could usually handle it, but having to train with a kid of Mars is hard. They don’t give up. Even though she lost, she knew she would’ve been worse if she had won. She was still a bit mad she lost. She hated losing more than she hated anything really. Breathing in and out, she calmed down. Wouldn’t be any use of relaxing if she was mad. She walked down to the bath house and smiled upon already feeling some steam as she entered. She started towards the bigger pool. She stopped right before she entered the doorway to it. Quickly she stripped down to her two-piece and folded her clothes. She then placed them atop of her folded towel. She went through the arch.

Walking along the sides, Guin was in her own world. She walked to a small chair where she could place her things. Quickly putting her hair into a near-perfect bun, she smiled contently to herself. She walked around the pool once again and went to the stairs. She emerged herself into the water. She could almost feel as the water did wonders to her aching muscles. The water was warm, but had a bit more of a chill to it. It felt wonderful. She submerged to where her shoulders were, not wanting to get her hair wet.

Slowly she swimmed to the side of the pool and took in her surroundings. There weren’t many people in the pools. There were a few chatting as they put their feet in the water and there was a guy floating. She would float, but once again, didn’t want her hair to get wait. Chlorine isn't good for your hair. She decided to just swim around gently. She got to a point where she just closed her eyes and began treading in the water. She was at peace. She felt as if she could just fall asleep, but if she did, she would probably drown. Shaking the thought off, she continued to tread. She finally let herself fully relax. It was nice.

Guin opened her eyes to see that she shifted locations. She thought she was keeping still, but turns out she accidentally moved herself over a bit. She decided she wanted to go back to the shallow end. She wasn't really looking where she was going and ended up knocking into the boy she saw floating earlier.

Nathan was just plotting in his head over how best to get to the bottom of someone in his cohort, how to make them go really insane. The kid hadn't done anything wrong to Nathan or anything. He just snored which kept Nathan up at night. Therefore the poor guy had to pay. He knew that the guy held a grudge on some guy who ended up asking out the girl he had a crush on. It would be a good base to work off of. Definitely something that NAthan could work with.

However, his scheme plotting was interrupted as his head bumped into someone. His face twisted into an expression of discontent. Why would someone bump into someone? What good would it do to anyone? All it was was annoying. He moved in the water to a stand up position, no longer in the relaxed state of mind since he was disrupted. He glanced quickly at the person in front of him. She was very attractive. Had that extra dosage that seemed to go with children or descendant of Venus. Which was what he was betting his money on her being. If not a child then definitely a legacy of some sort. Not too distant of course.

"Not even going to say sorry? Did you happen to never learn manners before the legion or did your centurion grind them to dust? You'd think a girl would know better." Nathan stated venomously. Girls always annoyed him. They either became babies or did something stupid to prove that they were better than men, and obviously failing at doing so. Really, he knew Lupa was a female but how could that wolf honestly let women into the legion? They were poor fighters, even the ones descended from war gods. They were easy to manipulate too. Girls always held grudges and had an inner discord, they were the easiest to pull apart and play with. His favorite little toys.

"Watch where you're going next time or invest in some classes, ...." Nathan said and realized that the insult doesn't bring quite an effect unless he head the girls name. "What's your name anyway that way I know who to avoid." Nathan asked, and not in a nice way either. His voice still showing his annoyance, which in all honesty the girl shouldn't take offense to, he had that tone of voice with pretty much everyone. He wasn't the nicest kid in the legion.
