um awkward [kyle]

Kyle wasn't sure if he should let Lily know he was there or not. He was a few feet away, leaning back against a tree. He hadn't been there for long - that would have been creepy - but rather almost a full minute. She looked so peaceful. He wasn't sure if he wanted to disturb her. He'd never been sure. He still had feelings for her, but they weren't the same feelings he'd had when they'd been dating. There would always be a place for her in his heart, just as he'd always care about her, be protective over her. He wouldn't say she was like a sister to him - that'd mean he used to date someone who was like his sister and that wasn't a correct assumption.

"Hey, Mother Nature, enjoying yourself?" he asked, making his present known. He had his pointer fingers hooked in the belt loops of his jeans. He smirked at her. There was some awkwardness there, but he wished there wasn't. Lily had always been one of the few people he was completely comfortable around, so any awkwardness since their breakup was not wanted in the slightest bit. His awkwardness was typically reserved for the few moments he got stuck alone with Ariel - there was only so much glaring two people could do before the situation turned awkward.

"I'm surprised you still haven't moved into the woods," he said light heartedly, glancing around and up at the treetops. "I'm sure we can get some legionnaires that have nothing better to do to build you a cabin somewhere out here." It was unspoken, but he'd still do anything for her. He was very loyal and his loyalty was hard to loose. Even with his issue with Flynn, he was very loyal to his brother and anyone - who wasn't himself - that threatened his brother would have a lightning bolt sent directly at their ass. It was a bit difficult, being very loyal to both his brother and father, but he managed.

If anyone ever threatened Lily or hurt her, well whether she was his ex or not, that person would get a lightning bolt to the ass - they'd get one to their entire body. The thought of someone hurting Lily was the same as if someone had hurt a fluffy bunny. It was cruel and stupid and just inhumane.

Kyle liked to think that Lily was still his friend - the gods knew he could use every friend he could get - but there was no denying the obvious awkwardness between them. Jaymes always had fun pointing out the awkwardness, to which he'd usually get an elbow in the ribs for from Kyle. He arched an eyebrow at the nickname. It reminded him of Ariel, who was always coming up with lame electricity-related nicknames for him to annoy him, but it was different with Lily. Ariel's constant nicknames got to him because frankly he didn't like her. He liked Lily, genuinely enjoyed her company. Lightning Bug actually put a small smile on his face.

The thought of a bear living in the woods was beyond unsettling. He made a mental note to send Hunter into the woods later, looking for a bear to wrestle. He honestly wasn't sure who would win - Hunter or the bear. "I can see it now," he said, stuffing his thumbs into his jean pockets and walking closer to her. "You'd have the best garden in all of camp, perhaps in all of the world. And animals always visiting. People may start to call you the crazy animal lady, if they don't already." He was just teasing her, of course. If anyone called Lily crazy and meant it as an insult, they'd see the sharp end of his sword and the hardest training routine any of the Centurions could think of.

He laughed at her or with her, one of the two. "You know, if the training's too easy, I can always make it harder." He grinned. "Oh you know me, always looking for an excuse to use the Legionnaires as slave labor." He said it jokingly, but a lot of the other campers complained about it. As far as he was aware, the only ones who didn't seriously complain - Jaymes jokingly whined about him - were his friends, and there weren't too many of them.

To him, Lily represented a part of his past that he didn't want to forget. She was a constant that had always made him happy. Even now, despite how weird they were together, she made him happy. "I've been alright," he admitted, "Though that depends on your definition of alright. Little to no help from my brother while some new camps have popped up, and there's always Octavian, being a pain in the ass. And there's only so much burden I can allow to fall onto Centurions rather than myself. So yeah, I'm totally alright." He'd never lied to her, not once, and now didn't seem like a good time to start.

"I'll be fine though," he assured her, "I'm always fine in the end." Though again, he thought, that depended on one's definition of being fine. "What about yourself? Just being a hippie or have you gotten a new hobby?" He smiled at her, genuinely curious. He didn't talk to her as often as he would have liked.
