Dare you [open]

Neptune had been watching the kids run through the obstacle course. He watched intently, watching them working hard. He didn't know what cohort was working right now, or if it was just friendly training. If there was anything of the sort in the Roman Empire. It was never much in the way of being a lax camp. He wasn't exactly a lax person. He was someone who tended to look stern, looked as if he was itching for a fight at times. Sometimes they were right. But he was a man who had two sides just like anyone else. He was a god, Neptune had seen so many things, experienced much in his life. He wasn't someone like his brother Jupiter who just sweapt all of the experiences under the rug like it didn't matter.

Neptune wasn't exactly hiding. But he wasn't exactly out in the open either. He had been doing some incognito checking up on his kids. Mostly trying to make sure that Clare had everything that she needed for Christy. Mikayla was alright, she was able to do much for herself and had no attachments. Clare needed more of his time right now. Ronan was doing well for himself, becoming praetor. Though he was Vulcan's son, he was still his grandson. It made his heart soar to know that he was doing good for himself. And later, probably tomorrow, he'd probably try to sneak some time with Julia. He was doing his best to keep up with his kids. He wasn't as good as Mercury was at keeping tabs on his children, but he was doing his best to do better. Anything that could prove that he was doing better than Jupiter was, well that was damn good in his book.

He stood there, watching the kids for hours doing things. Some of it was as simple as running the course over and over again till they nearly passed out. Others were doing more stupid things, mostly the boys, trying to impress girls or each other. Boys could be so stupid, Neptune thought as he couldn't help but smirk. He wasn't exactly King Perfect either. He had done plenty of stupid things in his long and immortal life. So climbing up to the top of the monkey bars and sitting on the side, balancing and swinging his legs like a kid who's feet couldn't touch the ground, that wasn't by far the dumbest thing he had ever done. This was actually one of the safest things that he could have done. Actually being here, sitting here was not stupid. His sea green eyes intently watched the ground as he kicked his feet. It had been a while since he had actually picked up a weapon and tried to work out with it. He felt as if he was getting sluggish, so he'd have to do something to fix that. He wasn't about to listen to Mars go on and on about how his uncle was horrible in a fight.

Notes: sorry the wait.

It was a good day to train, first and second were for sure in the fields of Mars, training until their bodies were screaming for mercy, but as good Romans they wouldn't let a hurt and injured body stopped them. They would continue until the moment they fell asleep or unconscious. That was the usual way of first and second to do it. But not the third cohort, Kenshin and Mikayla never pushed their cohort into such kind of training. It simply wasn't right in Kenshin's eyes to do so. Or at least not in times of peace, not with them, just with himself.

That morning was nice to train, to let the muscles get in pain due to all of the exercise that could be done! Romans adored to train and to improve themselves, but even with Roman blood, campers liked to rest and to have some fun away from the sand of the Obstacle course or the Fields of Mars. But there were some Roman campers that really enjoyed to train in their free time. Usually they were related to Mars or Bellona, some crazy ones that dreamt with challenging and winning against one of the prior mentioned, but the obstacle course was a place that was never in solitude.

Kenshin was training hard moving in a fast way, running through the obstacle course, dodging right in the moment a pole was swinging right at his chest. Then rolled over the ground missing some spears coming from the ground and finished on his feet in a graceful landing. Then he got up and smiled to himself, then he looked back and saw a boy trying to do the same moves. Kenshin spent months, in some cases years to master some of them, he ran back and watched over the kid, he let the kid get hit, shoved and scratched, the same way he had learnt before, but he wasn’t going to let him get killed by the huge pole. When the kid got out he was waiting for him.

“Next time wait till the pole is at 45 degrees from the ground. Now go to the infirmary.” The kid left and he smiled thinking that the kid would become a great asset to the legion.
