James slowly sat on the ground and said," Just a few cuts here and there, but I think that is all." He then groaned as he said," I don't know about you, but I don't know if I have enough strength to move anymore right now?"

βYouβre a stubborn one, arenβt you?β Mathias asked, before he gave a gruff chuckle, only to pause for a moment as she seemed to nearly reach for his arm. In all other cases, heβd know exactly where such motions would lead to. Admittedly, he would have no issue flirting or having fun if she wanted to, and yet...Something held him back, for once. With an inwards scowl, he knew it was Echoβs charm, her eyes and just all of her that made his usual pleasures feel...empty, in a way. Besides, this was a daughter of Zues, and he quite enjoyed not getting struck by lightning, knowing he would if he fooled around with her...Well, he supposed he could try to shake off Echoβs image in his mind, at the very least to enjoy the teasing and blushing of the girl before him. Righting himself, he gave a small snicker.
βYou can check them, if you really want to. I never pegged you for a healer. Dare I say be gentle with my scarred skin?β
βOh, Iβm right there with you.β Evelyn sighed. βGreat fighting, by the way. Your reflexes are fantastic. We make a good team, huh?β She grinned.

"That's what I've been told." Josie retorted, glancing to Mathias from her peripheral, the corners of her lips turned up in an attempt at a smile. She continued to walk in silence, going over the somewhat tense atmosphere between the two. She didn't think Mathias would continue to tease her until he opened his mouth again and Josie's left hand balled into a fist, nails digging into her palm. It wasn't so much that she was bothered by his teasing, but she knew he was trying to get a reaction out of her, perhaps to get her to blush still, and she didn't want to give Mathias the satisfaction. Unfortunately, she was failing pretty miserably. Normally, Josie was able to keep her composure but for some reason Mathias was able to break her poker face.
Instead of lying down and admitting defeat, Josie just turned more towards Mathias and crosses her arms over her chest. "I don't do anything gentle, got too much of a spark for that." She said with a smirk, moving in front of him and walking backwards as she lifted her hand and wiggled her fingers, bouts of electricity jumped between her fingertips. She grins and goes to turn around, though her foot gets caught on the root of a tree and she stumbles, cursing under her breath as a sharp pain shoots through her ankle for only a moment.

Mathias tilted his head ever so slightly at her brave response, her bravado entertaining in the face of a new challenge. If this was her way of trying to one up him, he could certainly appreciate her gusto. Even more, he could appreciate how quickly that bravado slipped away as soon as the root caught her foot, causing her to stumble. He reached out quickly, catching her arm in a firm but steady grip to prevent her from falling to the ground.
βThat the case? Iβm guessing you donβt fall all too gently either, do you? Is it me, whoβs going to have to treat you, when you snap your ankle?β He mused, a small smirk crossing his features.

Hey, Iβll post some starters.) Echo had sheathed her swords and was checking on other campers. She only had a few minor cuts and bruises, so she busied herself with helping those who needed it. Phoenix was looking over Finnβs injury, βNow you get why training is important?β She asked, looking at the son of Poseidon. Nathanial stuck around the other campers, helping where he can. On the outside he had a concerned look on his face, appearing worried for those who had been hurt; but on the inside, he was angry. Angry that the hellhound has failed in taking one of the children of the big three. βNathanial. There you are.β Valen sighed with relief, approaching the other Counselor. βI was beginning to wonder if you had been dragged off, but I can tell youβve been fighting. Do you have any injuries?β He asked calmly.

Nathanial turned to Valen and gave a nod, βIβm alright, just some minor cuts.β He said, βAnd you? I heard you had fought Horus during the game, you must be exhausted now.β

Nathanial turned to Valen and gave a nod, βIβm alright, just some minor cuts.β He said, βAnd you? I heard you had fought Horus during the game, you must be exhausted now.β βHeβs incredibly skilled.β Valen nodded once. βCombat has never been my ideal trait, though Iβm certainly not one to let monsters come running into camp...I will be alright.β He took a deep breath, before exhaling and running his fingers ever so slightly across a small cut on his arm.

Josie felt the strong pull of Mathias's grip keeping her from falling to the ground, leaning into it to take a moment to regain her balance. Gods, she felt so embarrassed but was doing her best to keep a straight face and not show it. She blinks slowly and gently starts putting weight on her foot, finding the pain has ceased and she'd merely only twisted it in the moment. Her eyes flick up to Mathias and she reaches a hand, wrapping it around his wrist and meticulously freeing herself from his grip. "Thanks." She says shortly, taking a couple steps forward and staying silent in the moment. Eventually a smile breaks out on her expression again and she seems to become herself again. "I'd pay good money to see that, actually. I'd hope you do a good job if that were the case." Josie nudges him now and continues forward. Eventually they finally come upon Thalia's pine tree and Josie seems to look physically relieved.

βYouβd waste your money. Iβm a fighter, not a healer. Though, I am pretty good with flesh wounds. Warfare training, all of the works.β Mathias offered, before he moved his hand away from her and crossed his arms. Once they reached the tree, he scoffed lightly. βEverything looks normal to me, here.β

βYeah, youβre right.β Josie outwardly sighed and crossed her arms as well, thinking for a moment. Eventually she shakes her head and kicks a rock. βWell, might as well head back now that we know nothing has been messed with.β She says, facing Mathias. βWe should probably hold a meeting at some point, talk to Chiron about this but Iβm sure he already knows.β Josie chews on her lower lip again, eyes looking distant as sheβs once again lost in thought.

James smiled as he said," Well like I said before, we kids of Nemesis need to stick together." He then groaned as he laid on the ground and asked," So, what are we supposed to do now?"

βMore than likely someone beat us to it.β Mathias grunted. βI guess we have no choice but to go back to camp with everyone else. Iβll wait until the others get treated. Crowded medical cabins are not my forte.β Mathias decided.
βWell. Looks like weβll either need to head back to camp, or wait until Chiron calls us in.β Evelyn answered, finally pulling to her feet again.
βShadow is keen on the possibility of a traitor in the midst. I am unsure though. The spirits speak not of any ill will...I hate to think somebody could have done this on purpose.β Valen sighed softly, shaking his head.

Josie didn't know how likely that could've been, but she doesn't verbalize her disagreement with the Ares boy. Instead, she just nods and starts to head back to camp with him. "I could wait with you if you'd like." She offers, ignoring the part of her that hoped he'd say yes. She just liked the playful clash that they had, only admitting to herself that she kind of liked it when he teased her. But what can she say, Josie has always liked a challenge.

After finally defeating the cyclops, Claude looked up and saw the rest of the monsters start to retreat. He was panting a bit but made to sure to walk and see if anyone needed help. Claude watched as Blaze fell to the ground, poor guy looked exhausted. The son of Hermes couldn't help but chuckle as he watched, eventually walking up to brunette boy and reaching a hand out to help him up if he so chose to accept it. "Could ask you the same, how you feelin?" He asked, remembering how Blaze was the first to act and get in the middle of the chaos. I apologize! This is the first time I'm getting on my computer today as my family fully cleaned and moved my brother into my old room. Legit was cleaning that room for hours and moving stuff around.) Blaze laughed before giving a smile to Claude. He reached up and grabbed a hold of the dude's hand and pulled himself up. He let out a sigh of relief, bending slightly with his hands on his knees. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just can't wait to get some food and heal up, only to be back training and working in the forges tomorrow." Blaze knew he overworked himself, but with attacks like this one, he always wanted to be keen and ready for anything.

James tried to get up, but his body barely moved an inch. He then groaned as he then asked," Um, hey could you do me a favor and help me up?" As he asked this he started to blush lightly, because he wasn't happy with the idea asking for help from his elder sister. Honestly he doesn't like looking weak in front of her.

"Yeah, well, sometimes it'll be like that." Claude said as he patted Blaze on the back. He grins and then gives the guys shoulder a little shake. "C'mon, let's get back to camp and get some food in ya." The blonde boy turned and began to head back to camp, glancing back to the other just in case he might need some help, though Claude doubted he'd want it. "Do you work in the forge every day?" He asked at an attempt to make some small talk.
(You're all good!)

As Blaze walked slowly with Claude beside him, he couldn't help but laugh and gave a nod in agreement. Food was definitely the best option at the moment, and there was nothing that sounded better than a plate of spaghetti and meatballs. When Blaze heard Claude's question, his brain processed the number of hours him and his siblings worked inside the forges, but it really depended on who it was. "Personally, I'm there at least three plus hours a day. Doesn't really matter what type of chores or training we have," Blaze said with a shrug.

βNot a problem.β Phoenix muttered as she led him out of the forest and back into camp, βIβm curious as to why that hellhound didnβt just kill you right off the bat.β She added, looking over at him.

(hello!)
Claude nods slowly, taking into consideration that three hours a day was still a lot if Blaze was also getting training and other camp duties done. "Wow, at least? What's the most time in a day you've spent in there?" He asks, wondering if the same was applied to the Apollo kids and the infirmary. Part of him is relieved that his father didn't come with any type of special powers that caused him to be stuck in a building and doing mandatory chores. Sure being a Hermes kid sometimes comes with not the most desirable rep, but at least he's not stuck in the forgers or anything.

Blaze bit the inside of his left cheek, giving off a weird face, but it was one full of thought. He had to think about his last few years at Camp Half Blood, especially when he was a year-round camper. "If I can remember correct, I was in the forge one time for twelve hours, but I believe it was during winter, so we didn't have many tasks," Blaze said with a rub of the back of his head. "Those days don't happen as often as you might think, but still I can remember being a little confused as to waking with sunlight, then coming out to the night sky." He could say much for his siblings, but Blaze didn't work entirely on weapons for camp. He did some inspections and fine tuning, but he was more skilled with other trinkets.

Claude's brows furrowed for a bit, again grateful his lineage didn't tie him to chores for any of the buildings on campus. He just shoves his hands into his pockets, giving a soft chuckle of disbelief. "That's crazy, man." He commented, lifting his head and looking relieved when they were finally back at camp. "That was crazy just now, with all those monsters. Wonder where they came from." The Hermes boy obviously overheard conversations from the others about someone letting the monsters in and he genuinely hoped that wasn't the case. His mind instantly goes to his half sister, Quinn, recalling plenty of times she had expressed her dislike for the camp. Claude's gaze hardens, though he remains silent.
