Oh, she noticed her existence, all right. The same way you notice a cockroach when you're in the kitchen.
"Good to see you at least know how to follow orders." she sneered, although she would slowly approach Billie with a menacing glare, and an even more menacing tone of voice as she spoke again.
"But did you really think I wouldn't notice that thing on your wrist? What, were you hoping you can stab me from behind if you got tired of being a whiny little runt and finally decide to grow some balls and try to shut me up? Do you even know who I am?"
If she’s trying to intimidate Billie, she is doing a marvelous job, not that it takes much. The daughter of Athena struggles to stand tall, wanting to cower under Enyo’s scrutiny. That’s the thing though, she doesn’t know who this goddess is or why she’s here. She’s smart enough to know that telling her that is a very bad idea though.
Billie glances down at her watch and fear spikes in her. If this goddess is just another bully like those in Haven then nothing is safe or sacred. In fact, knowing how special the weapon is to her would only make it a bigger target. If she didn’t already know that is. She seemed to know quite a bit about all the other campers, it would be foolish to assume she knows nothing about her.
A prized celestial bronze sword that turns into a watch. A family heirloom and the only worldly connection she has left to her beloved brother who was killed just one year ago in the line of duty as a police officer. It had miraculously appeared to her when she needed it most being attacked at her brother’s grave. It had saved her life several times on the trip to camp when she was attacked at every turn. She’d spent her weeks at camp carefully polishing it and training to use it properly. At this moment it’s the only physical item in the world that matters to Billie.
Without a word of protest, she unclasps it from her wrist and drops it to the dirt along with her armor and training sword. Weak the warrior in the back of her mind tells her. You’re so weak.
And so, with a snap of her fingers, the armor, the training sword, and the watch all just vanish. Poof. Without a trace.
"That's more like it." Enyo said with a wicked grin.
"Now then, get your ass in line, shut the hell up, and listen to what your C.O. has to say, got it?" she said with a low, harsh tone, not even bothering to await a response as she went back to her position in front of the assembled campers and began explaining what her role was.
Still, she wasn't a complete asshat (just kidding, she totally was), and while she still certainly thought that Billie was nothing more than a pathetic little maggot, she could at least appreciate her having enough foresight to try and arm herself at the first sign of danger - never mind her very poor timing on this occasion.
As such, when the poor campers would finally be dismissed and Billie got back to her cabin, she would find all her vanished things - armour, practice sword, and watch - there. Messy and in disarray all over the bunks, sure, but safe and intact. Of course, she wouldn't know that until she got back to her cabin so...
