Avery's back arched straight, he whipped around to stare into the soul of whoever had just spoken to him. Interestingly enough, it was someone vaguely familiar. He recognized her from several cabin leader meetings, back when he'd been at the head of Hera. His expression molded into a miserable, dirty sneer. "Oh, you. What's your face." He turned and rolling his neck, cracking it, before jamming his hands into his pockets, thumbs left untucked. The girl was of little interest to him at the moment. He just wanted to find the ugly brute who'd confronted him and--wait a minute. Imaginary sparks flickered around his head as if a magical idea had occurred to him. It wasn't so much a plan as it was a long-shot in the dark. "You're head of a cabin. Which cabin?" The boys he was looking for were most certainly sons of Hermes. Those devilish grins and tangled mops of brown hair. The sparkle of mischief that had been playing in their eyes Avery had clipped one of them in the nose for that. Afterwards the sparkling was more likely to be caused by tears.
With unnecessary scrutiny, Avery eyed the girl up and down in a somewhat distasteful manner, as if he thought himself to be a king trying to fix up his subordinate--with no avail. Sure, the guy was grumpy a lot. Most of the time, probably. But he generally wasn't this bad. The Hera cabin's ex-leader was undeniable infuriated at the Hermes boys, his blood boiling over with a tiny demon screaming 'revenge' in the back of his head. Thanks to the cunning little buttholes, Avery had a growing welt on his neck, that made his throat burn every time he talked. And that's not even to mention the bruises forming underneath his shirt. It's one thing to fist fight, but outnumber and beat the crap out of a guy at a festival? That was a new low. Even for the sons of a thief. And all of this for a meager amount of drachmas and his pendant. How brusque.
