"No, I could hang with you forever. It's just that I said some dickhead things and need to apologize."

She seemed to brighten at his comment. "Hmm. Eat with me first, then I take you to Cinthia. Deal?" She skipped ahead of him, walking backwards. They were heading towards a staircase.

"Uh, you do know that you heading for a staircase, right?"

She spun around, "Whoops." then glanced back at him. "So? Do we have a deal?"

"Yeah, of course." He thought about it for a moment. "Or I could stay for a little while after…?"

She grinned, clearly pleased. "I like the second option better. Their dessert is the best!" She grabbed his hand and quickly led him down the stairs and outside. To their right was a ginormous building with a sign saying 'CU'. Cheers and booms were heard from it. To the left was a street heading farther in the sprawling city.

"CU? Sounds like a party in there."

Tess looked at the building with longing. "That's Clojiynn University. My school. It's tournament day. War Games start next week, so they're throwing a little something extra to get us prepared."

He tilted his head. "Hm. What type of university is this?"

"Hero training. School for demigods to prove their worth and be able to travel all over the place to do good. Students separate themselves into teams for the entirety of the time we're here. Each team is given a rank based in the amount of points they have. Points are given to individual members or to the entire group."

"…Yeah, I'll just stick with wandering around. More my style, and a whole lot less dangerous."

Tessa grinned. "We're gifted ichor once we prove we won't abuse the privilege. It prevents deaths."

"What's life if it doesn't end? You're living for nothing, gives it no purpose."

Her face fell. "I'm an Immortal Demigod, daughter of a high tier god. With or without Ichor, I'll live until someone of more power kills me." She didn't have the nerve to say that Runner's father just might be the one person who would. Either that or the person Agdrin answered to.

He shrugged. "Who knows, I might be immortal too. Everything's still confusing for me."

((Couldn't Runner do it, too, since he was made for the job?

"I hope so." Tess said in Italian.

He tilted his head. "Huh?"

She shook her head and plastered on a smile. "Nothing. Just gibberish. Ready to grab a bite?"

"People have been doing that recently. Saying important things in a different language. It's a little frustrating."

She waved her hand and linked her arm with his. "Habit of the multilingual. I'll try not to do it again." She steered him to the left and into the city. People milled about–Immortals(rulers of the realms), Minor Immortals, Demigods, and others–going from place to place without a second glance at the duo.

He frowned, rubbing his head. "Remember when Cin did that weird mind hallucination thing and it made my head hurt?"

She nodded. "This isn't that city if you were thinking that. What you saw was June's home."

"My head still hurts."
