Who: Ariana Scott & Xander Christopoulos
What: XANDER'S BACK FROM PRISON
When: Monday, January 19th, 2015
Where: Camelot castle
Warnings: Epically cute reunions

When they'd gotten word that Xander was coming back today, it was all Ariana could think about. For two months she hadn't been able to see him, to see for herself that he was okay. It had been torture. She'd visited him once before he'd been transferred into FBI custody, and after that, only family and his lawyer were allowed. To say that Ariana was freaked out would be an understatement. With the way the government was treating reincarnates these days, and after what had happened to her and her brother, there was no end to the terrible things Ariana's imagination came up with to torment her. But her worst fear had been that they'd find a way to lock Xander up for the rest of his life. Or worse. They already thought they had enough to hold him and drag out a court date.

But then, a miracle happened. She wasn't privy to the details, she didn't have that level of security clearance. All she knew was that somehow, Xander's case had finally been dismissed. Something circumstantial, missing evidence or something. Wasn't that how it usually went? Except Xander was innocent, Xander had always been innocent, and if she'd been allowed in a room with any of those FBI agents she would have done her best to charm speak each and every one of them into believing as much. But apparently those sorts of tactics weren't 'ethical', or whatever. Like she cared. The FBI and everyone else certainly didn't seem to care much about what was ethical.

She'd wanted to be part of the security team that went to get him, but she was the least trained person when it came to actually carrying weapons. That training exercise in that freaky jungle of weirdness had more or less proved that. Ariana had stayed behind at Lydia's request, but all the work she tried to get done in the Security department ended up being pointless. She couldn't concentrate. So finally, she took to waiting at the bottom of the stairs in the front hall of the castle, eyes trained intensely on the door for when Xander would inevitably walk through it. Every time the door opened and it wasn't him, she stopped half way through getting up and sank back down onto the step with a frustrated sigh. So when it was finally Xander and the security team that walked through those doors, she felt those familiar butterflies start fluttering in her stomach and Ariana shot up immediately to make a bee-line for them, her sole intent being hugging him for the first time in months. "Xander!"

For a second, Xander had actually been tempted to tell Chase exactly how he'd pissed off one Minnie Pappas. It wasn't anything super scandalous; mostly he'd refused to be afraid of her and insulted her once or twice. It couldn't be helped, really. Sometimes gods just got such a high opinion of themselves that somebody had to bring them down to Earth, and apparently it had to have been him that time. Normally it was Luke with the angry determination against the gods of Olympus, but hey. Percy could get his fair share of quips in. At least Xander hadn't been running off with a Titan, right? He should've gotten some credit there.

Instead he'd kept mostly quiet, and grinned when Chase went along with his joke instead of getting huffy about it. Had he been Zeus or Hades, that wouldn't have gone over well. But Hermes had always been more mild tempered, the most human really, so as long as you didn't bring up his failure with Luke, you were pretty golden. He had a pretty good sense of humor. But he was gone before Xander could fully appreciate it, leaving him once again alone with Ariana.

"You can say that again," He huffed out a laugh, hand sliding through his hair a couple of times while he tried to come to grips with being face-to-face with a god unplanned. Well, an encounter that didn't end with fighting and jail time at least. "He should patent those shoes." Okay, that was a joke. But he was sure plenty of people would be interested in buying them if they could. Not that they would. Gods weren't really allowed to do that kind've stuff. Prometheus had been punished specifically for breaking that rule.

"Okay, this definitely tops out as our weirdest day so far this year." He was ignoring the fact that the year had barely started. The statement still stood.
