Liam Santos

Liam let out a nervous laugh as Novalie asked if he was okay after accidentally hitting himself in the head with his sword. "Yeah, yeah, I'm fine," he chuckled, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly. Deep down, he was a bit embarrassed by the clumsy move, but he didn't want to dwell on it. He didn't want to ruin the relaxed moment they were sharing. Liam shook off the pain and discomfort, focusing on the warmth of Novalie's presence instead. It was moments like these that made him forget about his worries and appreciate the connection he had with her. Listening to Novalie's words, as her hands worked magic on his tense shoulders. Her touch was comforting, and he couldn't help but relax under her skillful kneading. He let out a small chuckle at her response, feeling a warmth spread through him. "Well, thanks for the vote of confidence," he replied with a playful smirk. It meant a lot to him to hear that she found him likable, even if it was in her own teasing way. He tilted his head slightly, catching her gaze as she looked down at him. "And I guess singing isn't that bad, but it's just not my thing, you know? Plus it was a song about how we can sing the angry emotions away" he said, a hint of pain on his face. Ares campers were known for their dad's anger so it just felt so out of place for him. As Novalie continued her massage, Liam's mind wandered back to the impending date. He couldn't help but feel a knot of anxiety in his stomach. "I just don't know how to act around her. We're so different," he confessed, his voice tinged with uncertainty. "I mean, she's all about rainbows and unicorns, and I'm more...well, I'm more about swords and battles. I don't know if we'll have anything in common." He sighed softly, his muscles gradually loosening under Novalie's expert touch. "But I guess that's the whole point of a date, right? To get to know someone and see if there's a connection," he reasoned aloud, trying to convince himself as much as he was talking to Novalie.

Liam felt a slight warmth in his chest as Rebecca placed her hand on his shoulder. It was a small gesture, but it made him feel understood in a way. He appreciated her effort to lighten the mood and steer the conversation away from his past. "Bugs, huh? Well, I'll make sure to save you a plate if I ever come across them again," he replied, mustering a smile. As they prepared for their training, Liam noticed Rebecca's genuine excitement. Her enthusiasm was contagious, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of energy himself. He adjusted his grip on his own sword, ready to guide her through the motions. "Alright Becca, let's start with the basics," he said, focusing on the task at hand. "Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent. Keep a firm grip on the sword, but don't tense up too much. It's all about finding that balance between strength and flexibility." Liam began to demonstrate the basic sword strikes and parries, carefully explaining each movement to Rebecca. He didn't know why Fate brought him into this world but he if could help train other demi-gods to maybe give them a longer life then he would feel his life was worth living.

Liam couldn't help but chuckle at Novalie's teasing. She always knew how to lighten the mood, and he appreciated that about her. "Thanks, I'll be sure to let the magazine editors know," he said with a smirk as he swung his sword. But he did this a bit to hard and only hit himself. Making a face that said 'Oh Shit'. Then trying to play it off as if he meant to do that the whole time. He didn't know why he felt he had to be cool in front of Novalie but there was something in him that made him want to be. Novalie and him had this agreement that they were nothing serious but still he hadn't told her about his date with petal. He couldn't help but feel a little guilty for not telling her about the date, but he didn't want to burden her with his problems. He wasn't sure how to feel about the whole thing yet. He took a deep breath and tried to push those thoughts aside for now. "Nah, you don't have to leave. I could use the company," he said with a small smile. He leaned his sword that he stuck in the ground and sat down on the ground, patting the space next to him for Novalie to sit. "And that sounds great, actually," he added with a grin, feeling some of his tension start to melt away. He was grateful for her offer to help him relax. Liam shook his head, trying to focus on the present moment. "Let's not talk about the date right now. I don't want to think about it," he said, closing his eyes as Novalie started to massage his shoulders. It felt good, and he let out a content sigh. For now, he just wanted to enjoy the peacefulness of the moment and forget about his worries. But then emotions welled up inside of him. "I just don't know why this petal girl likes me, you know she tried to get me to sing my anger away the other day."

Liam swung his sword harder, trying to get out the anger that was building up inside of him. He couldn't believe he had agreed to this stupid date. It wasn't his idea, of course, but he had been pressured into it by Petal with the blessing of Dustin who sealed his fate. Some of his siblings told him it might not be that bad and that he needed to loosen up to have some fun, that he couldn't spend all of his time training and fighting. He knew they were right, but the thought of going on a date made him feel uneasy as that rainbow child was not his type at all. He wasn't sure what he was supposed to do or say with her? Liam let out a frustrated grunt as he swung his sword again. He knew he couldn't back out now, but he couldn't help feeling like he was walking into a trap. He wished he could just focus on his training and forget about this whole mess. But he knew that wasn't an option. He would just have to suck it up and hope for the best. Liam raised an eyebrow as he looked over at Novalie as a smirk grew on his face. "What are you talking about?" he asked, wiping the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand. He had been practicing with his sword, but he didn't mind taking a break to talk to her. She always seemed to lighten the mood and make things more interesting. He couldn't deny that he enjoyed her company. The two of them had a fun type of relationship. Happy to find a beautiful girl like her to even agree to it. Novalie over the years had made him soften when he was around her. "So, what brings you here?" he ended up asking curious why she was so far away.

Liam couldn't help but laugh at Elena's observation. "You might be right about that," he said, still chuckling. "Maybe it's the girls who do that kind of thing, but I never thought I'd see the day when my own siblings would be poking me awake. It's just so bizarre." He felt a warmth in his chest at the thought of having these younger siblings who looked up to him, even if they showed it in strange ways. He knew that he had to be a role model for them, and that meant being there for them and helping them navigate the challenges of life as a demigod. "Yeah, let's go grab some food," Liam agreed, feeling a sense of camaraderie with Elena. He appreciated the time they could spend together, not just as siblings, but as friends. He knew that having people who truly understood what it meant to be a child of Ares was invaluable, and he didn't want to take that for granted. As they walked towards the pavilion, he realized how grateful he was for the connections he'd made at camp, especially with his siblings. The memories they shared and the bonds they formed were something he would cherish for the rest of his life. As they entered the pavilion, the enticing aroma of freshly prepared food greeted them. Liam's stomach growled loudly, prompting him to chuckle at his own hunger. "I guess we Ares kids really are born for food," he said, echoing Elena's earlier comment. They filled their plates and found a place to sit, enjoying each other's company as they talked and ate. Liam felt a sense of pride watching his sister grow into a strong, capable young woman, and he knew that she had a bright future ahead of her. He made a silent promise to himself that he would always be there for her and their siblings, guiding and supporting them as they continued their journey as children of Ares.

picking up, love it!

Liam had always watched after his siblings as he knew what it was like when you had no one to help out. As a younger boy, his mom tried to do everything she could but it was hard to make ends meet. This meant that Liam was out on his own until she died. That was when he found out about his dad as a Satyr took him to camp to be claimed. It was then that he, Dustin and Benji started to become so close as they did everything together all the time. He loved the fact they were just like him and that he was no longer alone.....so he didn't ever want another sibling to feel the way he did when he wasn't at camp. "Yeah I guess they do" he laughed as she rubbed the back of his head with a smile. "But don't they know how to show that in a different way" she said laughing "I mean like getting me food or even challenging me to a fight....poking me while I am asleep was just weird." Liam looked around but he didn't see the time anywhere "I don't know but my stomach is telling me its time" he laughed again as he was a growing boy. Even if he was 18 now he felt hungry most the time. "I mean if you aren't we can just grab a snack and walk around if you like?" he said hoping this might be better for her. It was time with his siblings that he just loved!

Liam smirked when he heard his sisters voice come from the other side of the door. It was a little more than a year ago when Elena got camp half blood. Liam saw her get claimed at the bonfire. Since then he had taken her under his wing to make sure she would take care of the next generation of Ares campers. She was of course only 14 years old but soon enough, he might leave camp to go out and explore the word or even go to New Rome if he dad blessed it! "Some of the younger siblings of ours decided it was a good idea to come into my room to poke me while I was asleep" he said before turning his face to see them again as they hid in the next room. Peering out from time to time. "But they won't do that again will they?" he narrowed his eyes at them before turning back to Elena. He was getting hungry and thought maybe she was too. He often tried to have one on one time with different Ares campers as he got along with most of them. "So are you hungry? I was thinking of hitting up the dining pavilion" he finished saying as he put both arms up on the top of the door frame. Leaning forward and then backward.

Liam was sleeping in his room as he had a long morning with that punk Liam who he had to train. A nap was always a good thing after a shower in his opinion. But anyways he was in a deep sleep when he was dreaming of this Crow pecking him on the legs...then the arms and the came in for his face. For some reason he was not able to move so as it came in for his eye...he began try and move. When he woke up to several of his younger siblings poking him. "WHAT THE" he said as they began to run away. Still dazed he sat up and then ran after them. What did they think they were doing in his room anyways??? Catching up to the slowest one he grabbed them and held them upside down "What were you doing in my room???? Did you take anything?" he asked an eyebrow as he looked angry. There was a sign on his door that said do NOT enter. But it seemed to evade them. Looking at the younger half sibling in his arms, this one half-blood could not even be 10 years old. The kid tried to swing at him but Liam just laughed as he walked him to his room and dropped him on the bed. "Waste of my time" he said as he stopped right outside of Elena door. Knocking he called out "Hey Sis. " @ Elena Clarke

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.

@ Krystal Rose So happy to see you and my bro back together!!!! Hope it stays that way, I have never seen him so happy as he is when he is with you. Liam Santos

Talking to this younger campers wasn't so bad after all. He was worried he would get annoyed then go off on her for her to tell on him. That seemed to happen a lot because of his anger issues. Well that was what they called it anyways. He just saw it as his personality after all. "Well good food is always good....I have had crappy food before" he said thinking back to when he was younger with his mom. Things got tight so at times he had to fend for himself which didn't always mean for a good meal. He was excited at the idea of teaching her swords and all but then she wanted to teach him archery in exchange? "Archery you say......bows and things.....I could do it" he said with a smirk. Getting up he looked at his pile when he found a sword that would be good for her height and stature. Holding it out for her to take, this would be some fun he was looking to have!
