Iria hummed thoughtfully. "You mentioned your dad wasn't a god, so..." She trailed off, thinking. Sure, she had her suspicions, but she wasn't going to voice them, just in case the matter of her godly- er, or something like that- parent was a sore subject for Kielin.

"Aeolus, lord of the winds, immortal weatherman, king of being batshit crazy," Kielin offered. "Even with all the cabins for the minor gods, there's no place for children of whatever da is here."

Iria couldn't help but wince. "Ooh, yeah, that doesn't sound fun. Like, if you ask me, being the child of a major god would be best, but not one of the Big Three." She sat up. "Like, Ares, Apollo, Aphrodite, Athena, Demeter, Hephaestus, those are all excellent options for godly parents, but you and me, we didn't get any of those."

"Honestly? I wish my dad was some mortal guy with a boring office job." Kielin let out a long sigh. "You feel me?"

Iria hummed, tapping her foot on the ground. "No, not really. My dad being the King of the Underworld is nice. Sometimes. Other times I just want to curl up and die." She paused, considering. "Externally. I'm already dead on the inside, have been for more years than I can count."

"Make up your mind," Kielin grumbled, turning away from Iria and climbing the nearest ladder to claim a top bunk.

"On what?" Iria hummed cheerfully, staring up at the bunk even though she couldn't see Kielin. "I might not like my dad but I'd rather have cool Underworld-y powers than none at all. I mean, come on, your powers must be cool at least."

"They're not worth it," Kielin replied, trying to keep her tone from becoming too harsh. "Sure, I can control the four winds, even small storms occasionally, but if that has to come with a dead mom, a crazy da, no home, no friends, and no real family, I'll pass, thanks very much."

"I mean, I'm your sister now." Iria pulled out her dagger, twirling it between her fingers again and doing some other tricks with it. "So now you get a sister and some cool wind powers. Better than nothing, right? You can't change what's already happened, unless you seriously planning on going to the Underworld and doing what no one has ever done before."

"Not likely." Kielin flopped over, hanging halfway off the bunk. "I guess a... sister is better than nothing. Gods that's weird. Why would you even want me for a sister?"
(When they keep calling themselves sisters but you want them to eventually be Gay)

"Why would you even want me for a sister?" Iria countered ever-so-casually. "I'm sure I don't need to remind you, but I'm a daughter of Hades. We're not exactly known for being all sunshine and rainbows." She flipped her dagger and caught it by the handle. "You'd want an Apollo kid for that."

"Maybe I don't want sunshine and rainbows," Kielin countered. "Maybe I just want to be edgy." She surprised herself by giggling.

"Well yeah, in that case you've come to the right girl and place." Iria stretches. "But even so, I think your answer answered your own question. Not to mention we're both considered somewhat of outcasts from the rest of the people here, even though we're no less powerful or important as any of them."

Kielin was struck with a sudden impulse, and like her reckless, changeable father, she followed it. "Hey, um, once it's safe for me to leave this place, would you maybe want to come with me? I mean, we'll be just as alone out in the real world than here, and two demigods against the world is better than one, right? If that's makes any sense?" She trailed off a little awkwardly.

Iria was silently for a very long time- the kind of silence that made you believe someone had fallen asleep. ยจNo,ยจ she answered finally, in a tone that was strangely fierce for her. ยจNo, I wonยดt leave Camp Half-Blood unless itยดs for a quest, and even then, I wonยดt like it.ยจ

Kielin recoiled, pulling herself all the way back onto her bunk. "I should have known you'd say that," she grumbled with a resigned sigh. "I guess having a friend for a few months is better than never having a friend. But why would you ever want to stay here?"

ยจThe world outside is worse,ยจ Iria replied, her tone dark. ยจThe only places I can ever escape it is here, or the Underworld. Not because of the monsters. Those are childยดs play. But the people who make up the world are dangerous, ourselves included.ยจ Something glittered in her brown eyes, halfway between misery and anger.

"I suppose you're not wrong," Kielin conceded reluctantly. "I just can't imagine staying in one place for so long. I have to keep moving or I'll go as crazy as my da."

"Well, I can't imagine leaving for long," Iria countered, and though her tone was still a little sharp, it seemed as though she was calming down. Leaving is what lost me Caleb, after all. Leaving is what cost me everything." Her tone sounds bitter.

Kielin just shrugged. "Stay here and rot, then. I won't try to change your mind anymore."

Iria goes very quiet for several moments. Then, without a word, she got up and walked towards the door. In the doorway, she paused and glanced back at Kielin. Her eyes were narrowed. "Know a person's story before you call their decision to stay somewhere that doesn't hurt them 'rotting.'"

Kielin hops down after her. "You know what? Never mind. In another few months, you'll just be one more person I've run off on and disappointed, so why should I try and learn your story? It'll just make leaving harder."

Iria snorted, anger flaring in her eyes. "Well, there's your problem. You don't even try to care. No wonder people don't like you if you decide their opinions and decisions don't matter just because they happen to differ from yours." Her hands clenched into fists. "I'll go find Mr. D for you, though you're probably going to have to stay in the Hermes cabin." She was almost snarling by the end of her spiel.
