It was sweltering hot, the kind of heat that killed people, and Notos was thrilled. Only about the weather though he wasn't pleased about the lack of things to do. He was lying on his stomach spread across a bed of grass, his wings arching up above him to create shade.
Notos sighed, swirling grass around his fingers. He looked down when the texture changed and realized he had pulled a flower out of the ground. Suddenly he grinned and rose to a sitting position, cupping his hands to his mouth he bellowed. "ZEPHYROS!"

Zephyros chuckled, walking over with a light step and a bright smile. "You called, brother mine?" he asked, standing just outside his brother's reach.
"Enjoying the heat? From your expression I would say yes." He sat leisurely, still outside Notos’ easy reach.

Notos lay back and laughed. "It's the best weather ever!" As he spoke he gathered up flowers in his hand and turned on his side, his back to his brother. His arms moved slightly as he worked on.. something.
"Best weather, but boring. We are Winds brother, it doesn't do us justice to be cooped up around here with nothing to do and no where to go." His smile widened and he rolled over to his brother throwing a newly made crown of flowers on his head. "Pretty brother, what do you think?"

"I think the heat has gone to your head," Zephyros snorted. He pulled the flowers from his head quickly, the chain falling apart in his hands.
He looked at the flowers, letting them fall from his hands in pieces. Though he rarely complained about being 'cooped up', probably because he managed to get out more than anyone, he was showing his own signs of discontent.

Notos closed his eyes, spread his wings and arms, and rolled around on the soft grass. He stopped and sighed. "Well brother, what then? I think I have brilliant ideas brewing in my head."
He rolled on his stomach and pushed himself up on his elbow. "Well?"

"I think I'm too bored to be scared," Zephyros snorted, dusting the petals in his hands over his brother. He brushed them off again, dusting Notos with pollen as well. "What terrifying insanity is brewing in that skull of yours?"
He knocked lightly on Notos' head, chuckling slightly. "Does it have anything to do with pestering and or humiliating Boreas? Because if it does, I am ALL in."

Notos wrinkled his nose as he was dusted with pollen, taking a deep breath he blow. He created a miniature whirlwind that sucked up the pollen. He sat up, playing with the now yellow whirlwind sending it up and down his arms. "Nah, not Bor today. There's only so much a guy can take in a week."
Notos balanced the little tornado between his hands and caged it there. "Nope, let's gather our brothers and sisters and have a... family outing" His grin widens as he watches the small cyclone spin.

A hot, dry breeze swept through the air, swirling around a tall girl with wavy auburn hair who hadn't been there before. The breeze tossed her hair against her face, then died as quickly as it came.
"Careful, cousin," she replied mildly, peering at Notos from the corner of her eye. "If you think too hard, you might boil that brain of yours. I can already see steam rising from your ears." She swept a playful breeze toward him, tossing his hair into his eyes.

Notos jumped up as he realized Crystanthe's presence. "Sister! Just one of the seven people we were looking for!" He jumped into the air and flipped around behind her, smiling he gently put the tiny whirlwind on her shoulder.
"Care to go someplace, at some time, with some people, to do some activities?" He asked happily.

"A family outing, hm?" Zephyros said thoughtfully, leaning back slightly. He grinned at Crystanthe, giving her a lazy wave. "Notos, we would have only been looking for six others, which is now at five. Not seven to six. Unless you know of a Wind that I do not."
He shook his head slightly with a sigh. Was he certain he was really that bored?
...Yes. Yes he really was that bored.

Notos made a wide-eyed expression and raised his hands close to his face. He moved each of his fingers as he counted semi-silently. He did it a second time and then a third, a confused look on his face. "Eight winds and me here. And.. OH right! Crys. Crys and me makes two." He threw an arm around Crystanthe. "Sorry about that." He winked at her.

Crysanthe rolled her eyes at the red-haired god. "Your powers of perception are startling, brother," she commented. "I am amazed that Zeus has not yet promoted you to the God of Arithmetic."

"Yes thank you! Notos the might God of Arithmetic!" Notos leaned in close to Crystanthe and whispered "So, what's this' Arithmetic' thing?"

Crysanthe gave a mock sigh, pushing against Notos' forehead and knocking him away.
"I believe you were speaking of defrosting the ice king?" she reminded him, not relishing the idea of attempting to explain mathematics to her witless brother.

Zephyros snorted, "Apparently he's had enough of snarking at our chilly brother. Pity, I never get bored with that myself."
He stood and stretched, his wings spread wide for just a moment. "So what are your crazy plans, Notos brother?"

A ball of condensed air slammed into Zephyros' back between his wings. Behind him stood Boreas, his arm outstretched and his muscles tense. His face was mostly deadpan except for a small grim smile playing on the corner of his lips.
"And I never get bored of doing that."

Zephyros staggered and spun, glaring angrily. "Oh, go find some mortals to icicle, Boreas. This constant jealousy really isn't very becoming of you... oh wait, that's right. You never did grow up, did you?"
He snorted, shaking his feathers out. "We're almost all here, Notos. What 'outing' were you planning?"

Boreas eye's widened and he stood still for a minute. Without warning he threw his head back and laughed. It wasn't a pleasant laugh, it was actually pretty maniacal. He tried to speak but gave up and kept laughing. He held out his hand to indicate he needed a moment. After a few minutes he wiped his eyes.
"Jealous, that was a great one Flower Princess, you kind of suck at this Wind thing, but you'd make a great God of Humor." He slapped Zephyros on the back in between his wings.

Zephyros rolled his eyes and shoved him off. He smirked slightly and created another daisy chain, draping it over Boreas' ear. "A gift, Boreas. From Khloris."
He chuckled... and very quickly got out of Boreas' easy reach. His back was growing sore where Boreas kept hitting him... if Boreas did that again, Zeph might just have to try thawing him out a little. After all, that's what Spring did. It thawed out Winter.

Boreas shook his head and sighed. " I was trying so hard to avoid this princess, oh well. Let the bodies hit the floor."
He closed his eyes and slammed his foot down on the ground. Ice shot out from below his foot turning the ground into a slippery hard surface. Boreas wasted no time, light as air he shot up a few feet, spanning the distance between he and Zephyros in a matter of seconds. Boreas flung his arms out one after the other, two sharp icy blasts hitting his brother's face. As the air distracted Zephyros he spun sharply landing his foot on his brother's chest. Landing he used the ice to spin to face Zephyros as he did the water particles in the air grew larger and crackled into ice, as he came closer they formed in to a thin blade. He stopped a hair's length away from his brother's neck.
"So tell me are you top? Or is she?"

Zephyros warmed the ice on his face, glaring up at Boreas, then beaming beautifically at him. He touched the blade lightly, easing it away with a very gentle pressure and melting the edge from it with the equally gentle warmth of spring. "If you wished to avoid this, then perhaps you should learn to hold that temper, hm?"
He smiled again, tapping Boreas on the cheek. "Wouldn't you like to know? You can not touch her realm, which I did give her. Bitter than she chose Spring over Winter? How like you. You can not kill me, much as you like. Perhaps instead you should listen for Notos' games. They will likely be far more amusing than this effeminate display."

For most of the confrontation, Crysanthe was content to watch in silence, but it seemed that if someone did not intervene, Greece would end up one Wind short -- which would leave Persephone to pick up to the slack of the missing Spring Wind. The other Gods would never let them live that down. And Notos of all people certainly was not going to step between them.
Crysanthe kicked one leg high into the air, splitting the winds apart between them. The force of the gust threw the brothers back against the ground. She pushed herself off of the ground and landing gracefully on her feet.
"Zephyros, you should know better than to provoke your brother," she chided, her brown-eyed gaze resting severely on the blond god. "It does not do to bring up the painful relationships of the past, or have you so easily forgotten yours?"
She turned toward Boreas, her eyes just as fierce. "And you," she hissed. "Do not think you hold no blame here, dear brother. You should not let yourself become so easily provoked."
She paused, and for just a moment, it seemed she was done. Then Crysanthe quickly dug her foot into the ground, throwing a spray of dirt into Zephyros' face. "Enjoy that effeminate display, brother. There is plenty more where that came from."

Zephyros grinned at her, "But Crysanthe dear, you are SUPPOSED to be effeminate, and there is supposedly so little I can do against Boreas. Of course, he can not kill me." His grin grew almost malicious, "Seeing as Thanatos is a dear friend of mine, and Apollos no friend of Boreas, there is little of my 'painful past' Boreas might use against me. The only true contest he and I once shared, I won. Outside of that, Boreas is merely our dear brother."
He brushed the dirt out of his eyes, blinking rapidly as tears fell, clearing them easily. Wiping his face clean, he just moved to lean against Notos' shoulder. "Now, your games sound more interesting than Boreas' bruised ego. Is four enough, or shall we attempt to find our last four?"

Boreas sighed and smiled. "Kill you brother? Not at all, there must be four, four or none. But despite all that you are a bit foolish my Spring brother. Thanatos has no friends, he has no love or hate. He is the end, the most pure lack of judgment, Thanatos would take deliver his own womb mate to Hades. As for Apollo, I cannot think what he has to do with anything.. but whatever makes you feel better little brother."
He paused, laughing a bit. He patted Zephyros on the side of the face. "And by the by you hurt my pride I admit brother, not my heart. As for painful pasts who needs them? I like to place my hope in the future." His grin was unsettling as he walked away.

Notos watched for a minute with one of his eyes narrowed and his mouth open as if he were about to speak. But then he shrugged and walked over to Crystanthe and smiled. "Lucy likes your style." He said petting the mini whirlwind.
"Now, let's getting going. We have another male sibling's day to make interesting." He posed dramatically pointing them onwards. "To Euros!"
