Second Floor Common Room; Sunday Morning

Leo was wide awake after radio and he wasn't comfortable enough to spend all his time stalking Fixer-Uppers yet, so he decided to check out the common room on his floor. It seemed nice, not as high-tech as cabin nine, but it had a TV and food so he really couldn't find much to complain about.

He put the TV onto ESPN and idly listened to the anchors talking about the playoff games today while making himself breakfast. Southwestern omelets. The actual, good, Southwestern kind. Not that crap rolled up into a burrito that you got at McDonalds for two bucks.

[The common room is open, yes]

"Um, my mom taught me before she died, so I guess it's the second option," Leo said easily. He tilted his head thoughtfully as he poured the eggs into the frying pan. "...I don't know if my dad drinks a lot. I'm guessing his wife might, since he's not the prettiest thing to look at."

Caroline's eyebrow lifted in interest. "You family sounds as messed up as mine. Why would she marry him if he's so ugly? I mean, it's not like you're a troll."

"Uh, thanks?" Leo said, reaching up into a cupboard to grab a few more plates since it seemed like he might end up cooking for the rest of the school. "I don't know why they're married. His personality isn't all that great either. But they've been together for a long, long time so I guess there's a reason for it."

Leo figured it was because Hera didn't look kindly upon divorces.

"You're welcome," she replied, pleased that she'd managed to compliment the boy cooking her breakfast. "Maybe he was more handsome when he was younger and just grew into the ugly guy you know. I mean, you can't really guess what anyone will look like all aged up until it happens so you just hope for the best when you're young and then pray your vision is impaired as things go on, right? Not that I have to worry about that." Being seventeen forever should not make her frown.

Leo didn't really know how to word that his father had been born so ugly that his own mother threw him off a mountain in a way that was respectful to his dad, so he just kept his mouth shut.

"Being hot should make you more cheerful, shouldn't it?" Leo asked, noticing her frown.

"Of course it makes me cheerful," she lied, putting on a happy face. "I'm just sad for all the people who aren't so lucky. And don't tell anyone I cared for a half second, okay? It'll totally kill the whole bitch vibe I've worked hard to create this week."

"Secret's safe with me," Leo said as he handed her a plate full of omelet. "I get wanting to build up a good rep. Or a bitchy one."
