Out.?
/> ?You?re not breaking it down step-by-step for her, Hector!? Lucas
called from outside the cage. He wouldn?t come in the ring and
break the rules of the dojo, but he could still yell from the sidelines.
?She doesn?t know the first thing about pulling guard!?
?Well, tough,? Hector replied as he raised himself up from
between her knees. ?There?s no way I?m letting you in here, brother,
so just forget it.? He gestured meaningfully at her prone body
and open legs, and raised his eyebrows. Helen started laughing
hysterically.
?You have nothing to worry about, Hector!? she managed to
choke out. ?Trust me!?
That got Lucas blushing. Helen heard a familiar laugh from outside
the ring. ?Giggles? Is that you?? She propped herself up and
shoved Hector off of her.
?Yeah, it?s me. I gotta say, Len, I would have thought it would be
harder to get between your legs, but Hector doesn?t seem to be
having any trouble at all,? Claire teased.
?What are you doing here?? Helen said, surprised.
?I tried to stop her, but she just barged in and . . .? Jason began,
his voice fraying with frustration.
?I really wanted to see you do demigod stuff!? Claire said, cutting
him off. ?I?ve never gotten to see you do all your tricks on purpose
before.?
?Tricks? We?re not show ponies, Claire!? Jason yelled at her.
Helen looked at Hector and shrugged while Claire and Jason
continued to bicker. ?You know what? I think they enjoy fighting,?
she commented.

?She?s your friend,? Hector said to her.
