It's gonna take a little time // But with you by my side
It wasn’t often that Alexander ran into anyone while training. Truthfully, he didn’t need to train like he did when he was human. It wasn’t like he could build the same muscle tone or even strengthen his endurance. Still, it was a habit. Something he couldn’t seem to break. Especially with no one to take up his time. Both Amun and Maea had disappeared without a trace again, leaving him alone once more. There was no explanation or reasoning behind it. Simply gone without so much as a word.
Pushing the thought of their last brief interaction from his mind, he pushes harder, arms pumping at his sides as he runs. Only when he hears the sounds of exertion up ahead does he slow, brows knitting together in confusion as his steps became more quiet. Strange. People didn’t usually come this far out.
He rounds a corner in time for his eyes to fall on an unfamiliar form. He almost mistakes him for Nate. Despite not having met the demigod, he’s seen him around enough to know what he looks like. It gives him pause, but then the man throws a punch and he winces at the impact. ”Keep swinging like that and you’re gonna end up with a broken thumb.”

I won't let go // 'Til I've got what's mine
