Ares stood at the bottom of the steps stareing aimlessly up with his steel grey eye's, his usual glare of disgust makeing it appear as he was angry about something.
He lifted his camera as he hunched down letting his weight transfer to his heel'sm he lined the stairs up in his view finder, hopeing to get somewhat of an interesting shot from the ancient wooden stairs.

Skye had just come in from a run. Breathless but smiling, she trotted through the entryway to the stairs en route to her room. Her short blond hair was wild about her face, her indigo eyes bright and shining. She hurried for the stairs, excited to have a shower and perhaps unpack a bit. In her daydream, she did not notice the person crouched down at the foot of the stairs.
The next series of moments would have been quite comical to a bystander. The moment her foot made contact with the guy, stopping her feet from moving, and propelling the rest of her forward, she was already apologizing.
"Gomen nasaaaaaaai!" she shrieked as her top half flew over him, and she sort of somersaulted over his crouched body, landing hard on the inclining stairs. Her face down by the floor, her feet pointing up to the next floor, she winced, staring directly up in the guy's face, and tried to manage a friendly smile.
"Ah.....hi?" she managed. It was in that moment that she noticed the camera, and she prayed that it wasn't broken.

It all happened so fast, he had heard the sound of foot steps, but the instant he turned he saw a blond wild haired girl, comeing full bore at him, obviously not aware of him.
Before Ares knew it, he was ducking and the girl was flying over him with a well placed appology, supriseingly landing head down near his knee's, and looking up at him. He simply glared down at her, his camera held up in the air and away from him, something he did to attempt to save it before she landed. Without saying a word Ares pointed his camera at her and snaps a picture, the flash alluminateing the girl, in her obviously embabrassing situation, and permanantly captureing the moment.

"Eh/' Skye blinked a few times after the flash went off. When her eyes had finally adjusted, she peeled herself off the stairs. "Are you okay? Sorry about that..."
She knelt beside him at the foot of the stiars, taking a moment to assess the damage to her own body. Surprisingly, nothing was broken. She felt a bruise growing on her back, but nothing too serious.
Completely oblivious to his glare, she took a moment to stretch, and drew herself up to her feet in one graceful motion. She looked over at Ares and managed a smile, though she felt kind of uncomfortable in his presence. Her indigo eyes studied him briefly, curiosity getting the best of her.
"Erm, sorry about all that. Must have made a pretty funny picture though!" she felt her cheerfulness prevailing despite th'e discomfort of his brooding nature. "My name's Skye, by the way. I just got her from Cali."
She stretched upwards again, her meager five feet of height not even close to threatening and rather on the side of childish. She smiled over at him, running her hand through her wile, tousled hair.
"See you around then?" she said softly. He made her so uneasy. Usually, she was outgoing and spunky, but something about him made her so uncomfortable....

Ares held no apprehension upon looking the girl over, although his look was more as if he was measureing her up, rather than seeing her.
His face didn't seem to hold any recognition of her words for a long time. Leaving the two in silence for a few seconds. He shouldered the strap of his camera and pushed off his heel's that he had been crouching on and rose up, obviously dwarfing the girl, although it wasn't him that was unusual in size especially for a male, but it was the "cali" girl whom wasn't much in terms of stature.
He tossed his head a bit before he spoke, in a low, not all to supriseingly brooding tone. "California..... so... that would mean.. YOU... are and American hmm?" He said the 'you' as if accuseing the girl of something, but it also may be taken as an over emphasis of the girl's position. Which in his eye's was in the wrong, considering he was minding his own buisness and trying to take a picture.. or at least in his mind.

As Ares rose to stand, Skye found herself looking up into his face, trying to see past his brooding eyes. He was very unsettling, though she had attributed this to the fact that she had collided into, tripped over, and probably nearly broke his camera, which looked to be rather expensive. He was also probably pretty angry that she had messed up his shot.
Next came his brooding, accusing tone. She almost flinched when he emphasized "you," but figured she ought to answer his question, even though he had not answered any of hers.
"Yeah, I'm American," she said, the cheerfulness continuing to bubble. She glanced at the stairs where she had fallen. "I guess that was pretty typical of an American huh?" She chuckled. "Anyway, I am really sorry about all that. Can I do anything to make it up to you?"
She paused for a moment, a strange image flashing through her mind. It was so fast, it barely crossed her consciousness. Something that looked like a large dog, backed into a corner...fight or flight? She ignored it.
"What's your name anyway?" she asked, realizing at the end of her question how tense her body had become. Something about his brooding nature, about how small she felt next to him, made her uncomfortable, something she was definitely not used to feeling.

Ares ignored the girl's happiness drenched question of what she could do to make it up to him, although he found it best not to respond to that, not really careing to alarm the girl with his macabre sense of humour. He watched the girl carefully as she spoke again he caught on quickly that he obviously made her uneasy although he derived more of pleasure from the thought, than concern or need to rectify it, he kept it to himself as he quickly answered her question his words rumbelling out now in a more indiffrent tone. "Ares..."

Skye furrowed her brow momentarily. What a weirdo, she thought. She shrugged.
"Well, glad to meet you, Ares," she said. She bounded up the stairs with the speed and agility her small, muscular frame made easy for her. She glanced down as she reached the landing. "See you around!"

It was quite clear the girl wasn't fond of him as she gazed at him with those eye's that a typical clueless little girl would sport, he simply scowled up at her as she dashed away.
Ares turned away from her shoveing his hands in his pocket just before she could yell down at him basically greeting her with his back as he stalked off, intent on getting away from people in general.
