Talking about his childhood was always a bit off for him. It wasn't like he was going to cry or anything...it just wasn't pleasant talking about it. "Well with a single mom in a poor country...lets just say bugs looked good to eat" he said not to gross the young girl out but to paint a picture of his life. He would roam the streets to find anything he could to not eat bugs but there were days.....hard days! Thinking of his mom brought a lot of things up for him, some that he wished he could talk about with someone but that might happen another time. The monster that killed her, had his anger on the boil but doing some breathing exercises helped him a bit.
The young Apollo camper was happy to hear that he would take lessons from him if she did some fighting with him. This made a smirk come on his face as he got ready for a fun time on the beach. "Well that is good, if you do we can just got to the Hephaestus cabin to get it fixed" he said confidently. "First off what is your name? Mine is Liam" he said nodding to her with a smile. Trying to get some familiarity with the girl before he started showing her how to even hold the blade in her hand.
