LEO VALDEZ

- Leo refused to fall asleep. He was scary good at pretending the sweet temptation of sleep didn't exist. He wasn't exhausted. This was only the weary satisfaction that came from working hard and making sure his crew didn't crumble too much. But our group is shaky. We stand, literally, on shifting ground. And I am supposed to be the outsider who will never be able to relate to them. Yet here I am, doing my best to protect them. I hope this will keep them by my side. Leo didn't have to sugarcoat the thoughts in his mind. His friends really did their best to help him feel like a part of their whole. He was. He would not succumb to believing he was nothing. He was part of this unofficial little meeting they were having and together, they would determine what to do next. He burst into the kitchen and fetched a bowl of Lucky Charms for an extra touch of irony. "Leo hath arrived!" He announced, waltzing over towards the doorway that led into the main lounge and then letting out a real chuckle at the sight of Jason and Piper. "Well, well, well...what happened with you two?"

- Piper was about to step through the doorway when a familiar curly head poked his way through the doorway. He examined Piper and Jason with that devious little look of his, his dark eyes sparking with classic Hephaestus fire. He asked exactly what had occurred, and Piper gave a flustered smile as her cheeks became decorated with light pink. "Oh, nothing...we were just eating some doughnuts down here and we dozed off. They help with nightmares...if you don't believe me, you should try one for yourself." Leo didn't appear as if he'd been plagued by the nasty little suckers, and he was smiling and everything. But Piper could just faintly pinpoint dark circles underneath his eyes. He was a wild card...sometimes, he'd let the others know about his current state. Other times, he offered to let the rest of the bunch share while he put on his invisible mask. Leo hadn't had nightmares because the boy had most likely been keeping watch alongside Hazel. It made sense...he didn't sleep a wink, but at least he didn't have to risk plummeting into the terrible dreams gone bad. When he did, Piper vowed she'd offer Leo a doughnut as a remedy.
