Tickling is not and has never been on Clarisse's radar. Ever. Abby digging her fingers into her stomach like that is so unexpected, catches her so totally off guard, that she lets out an extremely undignified little shriek and writhes away in the opposite direction so quickly that she nearly falls out of the bed.

So that's embarrassing.

"What the hell, Abby!" But she's laughing, anyway, and she rolls back toward Abby and tries to pin her hands down. "Some thanks I get for waking you up."

that icon... i've been looking at it for five hours now

Oh, the Ares cabin didn't tickle? They didn't get the upper hand by cheating like this, and catching people wildly off guard?

She sniggers, and tries to keep going, except Clarisse is just about the only person who could catch her hands and really hold them down. It's so weird, it kinda surprises her every time even though she knows that Clarisse is really fucking strong. She yanks against it a little bit, testing the hold, wriggling.

"You're cheating, asshole-"

that was the first time i ever used it

Most of the Ares cabin is too dumb to cheat like that. Besides, they're usually wearing Greek battle armor. Makes tickling impractical.

"It's not cheating, mortal girl," Clarisse says with a smirk, keeping Abby's hands pinned to the bed. "It's winning." A (wink wink) god-given advantage. But Clarisse honestly hasn't been thinking too much about her demigod powers since she's been in Trench. She's been too caught up in dealing with the angst of the new ones caused by her blood type. It's nice to know she still has it, that connection to her life before all this. She thinks she might go crazy without it.

Without warning, she pulls one of Abby's hands up and makes her smack herself in the face. "Hey, stop hitting yourself."

#blessed...

"It's definitely cheating," Smack, "Oh you little–"

She's not actually mad, she's fighting back a belly laugh just to give Clarisse the most terrifying frown she can muster, struggling to get out of the hold. Fight her fairly!!

"It would be cheating," Clarisse counters, smuggest grin ever on her face, "if I let you beat me up just to satisfy your ego. It would just be cheating in your favor. Suck it up."

Just to prove her own point, she smacks Abby's face a few more times (lightly. ish.) before releasing her, and laughs. Kind of quiet, almost like she's surprised she still can. That it's okay to goof around and have fun, even here.

"I don't want to beat you up, I just want it to be fair!" Equally paced, so they both get to hit each other?? C'mon...

She makes a face when Clarisse baps her with her own palm a couple more times, choking out an, "C, I'm serious!" Even though she isn't. Even though this is probably the most fun she's had since she fucking got to Trench, and it feels like a thousand awful knots have loosened in her chest. It feels like it normally does when she's hanging out with Clarisse.

She bucks Clarisse off the moment she's released anyway, but the laughter has finally bubbled up and she's shaking with it, her head tipping back.
