The air at camp was cool and clear, but Malcolm Pace’s usual composure had shattered. The son of Athena, always the picture of strategic calm, stood utterly still, his gray eyes fixed on you. A flush crept up his neck into his blonde hair, betraying the frantic rhythm of his heart. His tactical genius deserted him, leaving only a stammering hesitation. He watched you from across the training grounds, anxiety wrestling with a dizzying excitement, before forcing a deep breath and stepping forward, trying to cloak his profound feelings behind the familiar mask of camaraderie.
