"Yeah," Jason nodded. "That's kind of weird..."
He remembered those myths--most of all how the god Zephyros had had his heart broken when Apollo stole his lover, Hyakinthos... maybe that was how Zeph had been hurt, or something like it. Jason made a mental note not to bring it up, but reinforced his silent promise to never do anything to hurt Zeph if he could possiby help it.

"Anyway... enough about me..." He got a mischevious look. "So... you can't have milk, huh? Would that mean if I kissed you after having some, you would get sick?"
Because there was cheese on my burger and your lips look so sweet he added to himself, leaning forward a bit more. His hair fell in his face again, covering one eye and again giving his face an innocent cast. One that his expression was showing was a very false impression.

"Maybe... if there was some left in your mouth," Jason answered. "I'm not sure how much it would take to make me sick. I think we'd be fine..."
He looked at Zeph's face, smiling so mischievously, looking so innocent. There was something behind that smile that he couldn't quite put his finger on... the mention of kissing, so early on in their relationship, had set off a signal bell in his mind.
"But I don't think we should worry too much about that right now," he continued calmly, looking Zeph in his one visible eye. "After all, we're 'just friends' right now, right? Friends don't do that kind of thing..." Not that I wouldn't want you to kiss me. Just not yet.

Zephyros blinked, his smile turning embarrassed as blood rushed to his face. He sat back a little, realizing that he'd been giving in to his... other feelings. It was a good thing Jason had a good head on his shoulders, because his tendency to rush into things was what had caused the trouble with Hyakinthos... and a bit with Fleur. He wasn't going to let that happen with Jason.
"Better not to take the chance, right?" he grinned, his tone trying to be teasing and mostly just being embarrassed.

"Exactly," Jason nodded, glad he had been able to divert Zeph's flow of thought, but sorry that he had embarrassed him. He tried to think of a different way to change the subject. Zeph's face looked like he had gotten a bad sunburn.
"So... tell me about Greece," he suggested. "What's it like?"

Zephyros grasped gratefully at the change of subject. "Kinda tropical, you know? Warm, doesn't generally get TOO cold in winter, though snow happens once and a while. I've only seen it stay on our island once or twice though. I always make a point of starting a snow-ball fight... or I do if I am home, anyway. It's one of the only times Euros and I actually enjoy each other's company. East and West don't really get along very well..."
He paused, still leaned back and thinking. "Not as much classical architecture as you might think. I think our parents specifically had our house made in the classical style, and there is art EVERYWHERE... Mainland Greece is actually not that different from say... anywhere in America."

Jason smiled and nodded. "Not a lot like Germany, then. Germany's pretty temperate, but we don't get a lot of snow or frost either. We get rain all year long, though. You get used to it."

"Rain.... I'd need the sun," Zeph said, wrinkling his nose. His blush was fading, and he seemed to be more relaxed. Of course, the fact that he was about to lean BACK in his chair might have had something to do with that. His arms crossed in front of his chest, but at least he kept his eyes on Jason's face. "As should be obvious from my skin-tone. I'm going to loathe this winter, when there isn't sun really any more..."

Jason nodded, keeping his eyes on Zeph; he seemed much more comfortable and relaxed now. "I'm not looking forward to the cold, myself. I can stand trudging through snow as long as the air is warm."

"Well, I guess we can miserable together," Zephyros chuckled. He carefully balanced on the back two legs of his chair, crossing his ankles under the table. "I like snow for very short periods of time... about long enough for a snow-ball fight. Then it can go away again."

Jason grinned and nodded in agreement, raising his eyebrow at Zeph's precarious position on his chair. "Careful you don't fall backward and hurt something..."

Zephyros grinned at him, "Don't worry, I nev-"
Something nudged him from behind as he spoke and his foot slipped... as did the rest of him. He yelped in surprise and fell back, hitting his head on the table behind him and releasing a very fluent stream of greek that HAD to be cursing.

Jason cringed, getting up and hurrying to Zeph's side. "Are you okay?" He carefully helped Zeph up, examining the back of his head for blood. There was some swelling starting under his hair; he hoped the blow wouldn't cause a concussion.
"Quick, what's your name? Your birthday? What's today's date?"

"Jason, I'm fine. I'm Zephyros Aetai, you don't know my birthday so how could you check that anyway and it's September 20th," he said, looking very irritated as he rubbed the back of his head. Ooh, that hurt. He cursed again, keeping it in Greek because at the moment it was easier to think in Greek than English.

"Don't touch it, that'll make it hurt more," Jason scolded him, pulling Zeph's hand away from his head. "We should get you to the sick bay." He bent down and set Zeph's chair upright before starting to lead Zeph out of the mess hall. "You've got some swelling where you hit your head."

Zephyros blinked, a little confused. A moment ago he'd been trying to keep from touching Jason, and now he was getting dragged away by him. "I'm fine... shouldn't we clean up our table first? It was barely a tap, I got hit in the head far worse in football all the time."
((*football=soccer. You know, like the rest of the world calls it.))

Jason sighed. "I'll do that. You sit down and stay put. And don't do that trick with the chair again, I don't want to see you hurt yourself even more." He busied himself gathering the dishes and taking them to the kitchens to be washed, keeping one eye on Zeph as he did.

Zephyros blinked again, wondering why Jason was being suddenly so protective. However, he decided it was a better idea to listen then to try to help. He fingered the lump on the back of his head again, his eyes almost closed. It wasn't very bad at all. He waited until Jason was near enough to hear him and sighed, "Jason, there's no reason to bother Miss Ellie with this. It's just a bump on the head."

"You should at least put some ice on it," Jason told him matter-of-factly. "Besides, Miss E is the school nurse. It's her job to take care of people when they get hurt."

"It's just a bump on the head; it's nothing," Zephyros insisted. "She has enough to do, and I will be fine." He stood, without difficulty. Well, he kept a hand on the back of the chair, but hoped Jason wouldn't notice how much weight he was putting on it. He was a little dizzy, but... that would pass without any help.

Jason noticed Zeph leaning on the chair more than he ought to have been. "Zeph. You're having trouble standing on your own. Clearly that bump on your head isn't just nothing." He kept his eyes on Zeph's face, his expression mildly critical of the mage's denial.

Zephyros immediately pulled away from the chair, standing just fine on his own. "I can still walk just fine. Without holding on to anything. I'm just a little dizzy and it IS merely a bump."

Jason frowned a little, but relented, not wanting to seem like he didn't trust Zeph at all. "As long as you're sure."
Zeph looked noticeably pale; Jason wasn't entirely sure he wouldn't collapse if he tried to walk too far. He stepped to Zeph's side, ready to support him if need be.

Zephyros nodded carefully, taking a slow breath. He kept his balance, but started wondering if maybe Jason hadn't been right and he couldn't walk without help. After all this... now he was going to give in? Damn it. Bah, first I'll see if I can make it to my room... and if I can't, THEN I'll go see Ellie.
"I should probably just go back to bed," he said softly, managing a soft smile, "I think I've had enough of a day to warrant it."

"I think we should go and see Miss E first, just in case," Jason countered him gently. "You never know with head injuries." He took Zeph's arm gently. "Come on."
