Aetais. Boat. Oh my Kane.
Ellie was eager to get off that death trap. So she led her group as far away from the water as she could. Not that she was afraid of the ocean, but she didn't want to incur the wrath of angry tourists. Angry tourists that had also been on that boat. With the Aetais. Mostly Notos.

Euros was not going to say a word.
He was sopping wet, hair sticking saltily to his forehead, tromping along behind Dr. Evans-Barros with a look of fury on his face. The schlop, schlop sound his shoes were making on the road was, in his mind, the sound effects of a conquering warlord through the blood of the fallen.
Euros was not going to say a word. His brothers could fill in the blanks themselves.

Today was a fine day in Zephyros' opinion. Mostly because Euros was miserable, and Zeph had had nothing to do with it. For this time, he was completely innocent. He'd had nothing to do with Notos' shenanigans, or Euros' current condition, or even with Miss Ellie's current irritable mood.
He tried very hard not to show how gleeful he felt, though. It barely felt like his feet were touching the ground (though he had never managed such a thing before, he'd still checked to make sure his feet WERE actually contacting the ground), but he was trying to keep his usual glower.
The lack of Jason wasn't even enough to bring his mood down. It was spring in Greece, his favorite season, it was warm, the sun was shining... Euros was miserable, he wasn't in some sort of trouble... It was hard for Zephyros to think of how today really could be anything but wonderful. Only one thing he could think of would make this better; Jason being with him. He'd be sure to bring lots of pictures for his boyfriend. And souvenirs.

Notos had also been having an amazing day. So far he'd stolen a newly engaged couple's seashells, pushed Euros into the sea, handed out several pamphlets, held a 'why your religion is wrong and you need to worship me' rally, and enraged several small children.
Notos stretched in the warm sun, he'd thrown his own shirt overboard several hours ago. He glanced over at Zephyros who's expression looked like that of a small girl dreaming of her magical princess wedding she would have one day.. oh wait, come to think of it that was Zephyros, confusing memories and metaphors.
Notos took in a deep breath before shoving Zephyros into a crate of blueberries, hard, and yelling "CONVERT TO NOTOSISM!" As loud as he could muster.

Zephyros flailed slightly as his brother shoved him over, yelping at the crate crumpled and he was suddenly purple. It crossed his mind slightly that blueberries never seemed to be actually blue before he pushed himself up, wiped off what he could...
And still felt better than Euros did. Besides, there were sprinklers going nearly and it was easy to go stand in the stream until the blueberry juice washed off. Then he ran and tackled Notos into a rather large mud puddle caused by the same sprinklers Zeph had used to get the blueberries off with. So, he in essence traded blueberries for mud.

Notos lay with his back against the ground and with both legs kicked Zephyros off him, casually. "Shame blueberries stain so bad sister dearest. Hey, you're all Boreas colored now!" He exclaimed, as he lay back leisurely in the mud.

Euros heard a crack and a splash and a yell from some random mortal who'd just got their blueberries destroyed by an Act of God. He smirked to see his brothers covered in fruit and mud. At least now they looked as ridiculous as he did.
"Spring and Summer, fighting for dominance... Now, Notos, you're a month early; at least dye ho pneumation green."

Zephyros chuckled and wiped off some of the mud, still sitting in the middle of the road where Notos had dumped him. Then he grinned, picked up a handful of blueberries that had rolled over to him, and stood up. He walked over to Notos, and promptly rubbed the berries all over his brother's face. "Now you're Boreas' colors too."
Then he grinned widely, and BOLTED.

Boreas rolled his eyes as he caught up with his brother in a few strides and grabbed the back of his t-shirt. "No running off now, or does Miss Ellie have to use the leash? Be a good Zephyros."
He released his brother's shirt and flicked him in the ear. "And Notos, I know that rolling around in Gods knows what is your idea of a classy day out, but get up. We have an image we're supposed to at least pretend to keep up." He said rolling his eyes.

Zephyros was jerked rather short when Boreas grabbed his collar. As in, his feet kept going when his body didn't, and he ended up hanging by his collar in Boreas' hand and choking until Boreas let him go. The flicking him in the ear bit was rather impressive, as the eldest was fast enough to do so while Zephyros was rapidly falling backward to the ground and tugging on his shirt so he could breathe.
The landing was a bit less than glamorous, but Zeph managed not to hit his head. Which in itself was an accomplishment almost as impressive as the one Boreas had managed in flicking Zeph's ear with lightning speed. Zephyros got up, dusted himself off, looked around at the lack of people (other than the poor vendor who'd lost most of his stock), and grinned. He looked at Notos for a moment, silently inviting/begging Notos to join him, then tackled Boreas.
If he didn't fall into a mud puddle, Zephyros had enough mud/blueberry juice on him to make Boreas look as ridiculous as the rest of them.

Notos looked up. He had since sat up and was making.. mudpies. He had about three currently and was patting another one into form. He looked from Zephyros to Boreas wide-eyed.
Everything was silent for a second, then he scooped up two of them and held them out. "Mudpies?" he offered. "They're mudpies of friendship." He enticed.He knew he'd probably get punched for this later, but the fun was worth it now.

Euros was also staring. The sight of the littlest one first nearly managing to strangle himself, then attempting to knock Boreas over, was... not quite boggling, given how much worse he'd seen, but something along those lines.
"Can we not just go out for some ice cream and get over this ridiculousness?" He stepped well away from the pile of mud and closer to their "chaperone". At least then if he got splattered, she might "accidentally" get in the way, and whoever dared offend his wardrobe further would be punished.

Zeph, realizing Notos wasn't going to help and he wasn't large enough to knock Boreas over without tripping his brother somehow, and had mostly bounced off anyway, backed away and looked between his three brothers thoughtfully.
He then looked at Euros and tilted his head. "But ridiculousness is so much more fun," he said with an innocent expression. Sometimes, there was an extremely good reason he got along with Notos best. Notos was the only one who was good at unbending once in a while.

Ellie pressed the heel of her palm against her forehead and sighed. Whose idea had it been to assign her all four Aetais?
She stepped past Euros and snapped her fingers, as if to catch a child's attention.
"Boys," she said, her voice clear and calm, "Calm down and clean yourselves off. I wouldn't want to have to put all four of you in time-out." She smirked.
