A black haired pale boy walked into the arena quietly. He had his Stygian  iron sword at his side as he walked in quietly. His obsidian eyes scanning the arena  to see if it was empty. It was seeing as it was nearly night but not so close that people wouldn't show up to practice. Nico pulled out a few dummies to practice on as he did he pulled his sword from its sheathe and for a long while he practiced on the dummies slicing and hacking at him. As he did he though of 4 years ago when he would have found it so cool to but as he dwelled on the though he remembered his older sister,Bianca, and he decided not to dwell on the thought any longer so as he pushed the though from his mind he stopped and decided to take a break though he heard someone enter and his dark eyes turned to see who it was.

James had just built a robot.

Dang right!

It really was just a side dresser, designed to move on it's own. His brother Leo had given him the plans from his own, and James decided to make his own. It wasn't quite as advanced as Leos, but it was rather magnificent. He was taking the little dresser out on a walk when he saw someone standing near the Arena. He moved closer slowly, lifting himself on top of the dresser so he was riding on it as they wobbled toward the guy.

'Hey there! It's a... Nicholas, right?" he said, struggling to remember the kids name.

As Nico looked he saw James riding on what looked like a walking dresser. He didn't say anything about that he just looked at James as he got his name wrong. He frowned some and said"so it's not Nicholas" he said. "It's Nico the son of Hades stated looking at him. As he spoke to him he sheathed his Stygian iron sword silently. After he did he said, "so your James right?"He said pretty much just guessing."what brings you into the arena with that " He said. He somewhat slightly gestured to the walking dresser. After he did he returned his dark gaze to the son of Hepheastus.

Nico was pretty... intense. But James found that intense people were merely just lonely, after all. James raised an eyebrow at him and then looked down at his dresser with a smile. Jumping off, he spoke, "Aw, Nico. Sorry bout that. I'm just taking this little thing for a test run, we decided to stop by," he said, tapping the dresser lightly on the top. The dresser came to a halt, curling it's legs in and placing itself flat on the ground. James turned to smile back at Nico, "and what brings you out to the arena by yourself? Looking for a little spar?"

Nico watched as he raised a brow and smiled down at his dresser with legs.He then watched as he jumped off and continued to smile at him"its fine"Nico said waving it off. Before he watched the dresser ' s legs curl up and the dresser fall. Then the question about what he was doing alone in the arena " I'm just practicing it's what I usually do alone Nico said with a tiny bit of emphasis on alone before he said " but I don't mind a spar every now and then "he said looking at James. With a quiet glance he could see that he had already went through a couple of dummies but now he had stopped for a moment.

James nodded, "Well, if you're up for it-" he said, suddenly whipping two small axes out from seemingly out of nowhere. He was able to conceal them quite well considering they changed into matching bracelets whenever he wasn't using them. At their appearance, the dresser stood up again and scurried away, stopping to watch from the sidelines. James took a fighting stance, raising one axe and planting his feet. "Whenever you're ready, Nico." James was a big jokester, for sure, but he had a lot of seriousness in his life as well. He had become well practiced in fighting since he was unable to save his mother last year. He had gotten much better with weaponry.
