Ah finally, there were some matches going on and he was actually attracted to it. Currently he was taking a small break from his duties to come here and see how the fights were going. From what he’d seen going on down there quite a few of the warriors were honor bound in their fighting while some actually used very dirty tricks. Now that wasn’t nice, you should always be fighting on equal ground with your opponent. Well wait, you didn’t hear it from him but sometimes you actually did need to cheat and be a little unhonorable to win a war. Yes, he would look the other way when the forces of good were outnumbered and they needed to resort to some less than honorable tactics to win.

Right now he was focused on the battles, which was until it was time for a break. It would be fun to go down there and actually participate but come on, that wouldn’t be fair to any of the mortals that were actually fighting. Once again, he was the God of Honor and he couldn’t bring himself to do that. Now maybe if he suppressed his powers and gave himself the abilities of a normal mortal or demi-god then he would do it. Seeing as it was a break time he headed out towards the vendors and started looking through all the food. Something here was going to be good and he wanted to try all of it. Then again nothing could compare to Amelia’s cooking. His mind did wonder a little to what his beautiful, amazing, sweet wife was up to currently. She was probably trying to get their little one down for a nap. Yes, because his mind was off he didn’t notice he was about to run into someone until bam! Right into them. “Oh Gods, I’m so sorry. I didn’t meant to, are you okay?”

Natalia was cute, and very used to being noticed by boys and girls alike. So someone not noticing her, and simply running into her was unheard of. Though she was not a daughter of Venus, she sometimes had the same qualities of one. The vanity, and the pride on her appearance. Though unlike them she wore little if any make up, and wasn't the least bit afraid to get down and dirty in a dress. Even her armor was built with a skirt, though she tended to have many knifes hidden with it. Weapons in New Rome was mostly a no, no thanks to Terminus. The Arena was the only place she could comfortably stock up on weapons. Which was to say perhaps ten blades on her person? At least that many. At the moment she had her bow and arrows on her as well, and after getting bumped into she wore a bit of food as well.

Today she had come to the conclusion she needed a bit of practice fighting, she liked to train at least as hard as she played. Though she wasn't sure if this would be considered work or play, as she did goad the opponents in to making rookie mistakes. Also she wore a skirt, and her creamy thighs against the black leather was quite a nice distraction if she could say so herself. Natalia was not strong, but she was fast and smart. Out witting her opponents was her best option, and at times that was incredibly hard to do against the children of Mars. When her bright blue eyes, and pouty pink lips weren’t helping it was difficult.

Taking to the shadows and appearing in a different place was her favorite option, and a way for her to keep distant as she attempted to pin her enemy with arrows. Never to the head of course, she did her best to keep it to area's where she could nurse them back from. Arms, and legs where easy enough. Unless she hit that tendon and in that case it would hurt quite a lot. Though whenever someone got in her face she would panic and lash out with shadow material. Sometimes she couldn't control the power or shape of it, and a person might get badly hurt. Well no control might be excessive, she had little control over it. Back when she was younger she had killed a person in Camp who had gotten into her face. That was quite the mess.
