Jared nodded, βof course you can,βhe said simply. He finishing scarfing down the rest of his food, now considering what he should do next with his time.
Blake and Tatum both sat at their table eating their breakfast.
Ben was eating a muffin with the rest of the Apollo kids.
Christian was at the Iris table alone, waiting for his sister.
Emilia didnβt really stay in the dining pavilion, she just grabbed some food and went to go sit at the lake.

Hunter nodded his head, looking at Nat. βYouβre right. We need to get to the bottom of that.β He thought a moment. βI just donβt know who would have let them in.β He sighed.
Finn heard a voice and turned to look at her. βOh it is?β He asked sheepishly. I guess she would know of all people.
Jacob called out. βHey!β As he approached, not wanting to startle her.

Nathanial stood up, βIβll see you later, Jared.β He said, moving to leave the dining pavilion. He needed to meet up with Quinn and talk about their next move.
Phoenix joined him in the arena, βYouβre holding your sword wrong, and donβt even get me started on your stance.β She said, taking her sword out and demonstrated a battle stance and gave a few slashes to the air.
Kumiko turned and smiled when she saw Jacob, giving him a wave, βHey! Did you sleep in again?β She asked, looking at him. Kumiko had always been an early riser.
Nakita left the dining pavilion and headed towards the lake, thinking about taking a swim.
Echo finished her breakfast and went to head back to the Aphrodite cabin, planning on grabbing her weapons and get some training in.
Cat sat at the Hecate table, eating her breakfast,

Nat nodded at Hunter, βwell how could you? How could anyone honestly. Itβs crazy to think that any of the campers would put the rest of us in danger on purpose. That just feels like betrayal,βshe breathed, clearly bothered by the thought. She shook her head, βDo you want to go do something? Iβm bored,βshe said, looking up at him.
Emilia had finished her breakfast and was leading back, getting warmed up in the sun before going in the water.
Jared saw Cat eating and smiled,βhey Cat!βhe said, coming up behind her and moving to sit by her.
Ben soon left the rest of the Apollo kids and went to go back to his cabin, grabbing some equipment to go train. He was skilled with a bow but he definitely had some work to do with a sword. He wasnβt bad, but it wasnβt his skill set either.
(Letβs cause some trouble with Aphrodite girls!! Iβm ready to throw Blake in there. Lol)

Lol, what kinda trouble do you want to cause?)
Echo gathered her weapons and turned towards the training area, strapping her swords to her sides and tightened the straps on her armor.
Nakita sat on the beach, feet in the sand as she watched the waves
Cat turned her head towards Jacob, her unfocused eyes staring past him, βHey.β She said, smiling at him.

Frances knew she wasnβt allowed to sit at any tables but her own, but it wasnβt like she was going to be eating with him, so she smiles at him as she gingerly sits down at the bench with her knees facing out. βOh whatever.β She says with a chuckle. Frances watched as he picked apart his food, looking back to him after his last comment. She doesnβt even try to hide the fact that she rolls her eyes at him, reaching over and punching his arm lightly. βYouβre seriously stuck on that narrative?β She asked, leaning her elbow on the table now and resting her chin in her hand. βCβmon Blaze you really think that should stop you from having some fun by the lake?β Frances bats her eyelashes, putting on her best pouty lip as daisyβs begin to bloom around the crown of her head in her hair. Intermediately, Blaze ate his breakfast while taking glances at Frances. He ignored her punch to his arm, barely even feeling her knuckles connect. As much as Blaze loved taking care of other campers and hanging with others, he had his limits especially when it came to dealing with the lake. Hephaestus cabin had issues with the lake and the went back to the times of Charles Beckendorf and his death in Long Island Sound. "Frances, really...? The pouty face," Blaze said with his eyebrows raised. His eyes tilted upward as a daisy began to bloom on her head, but shook his head. "Fine, but I'm not getting in the water."

Fran's expression brightens and she grabs hold of his wrist. "Wow! Really? Oh man I knew you'd say yes!" She said enthusiastically, not caring if she was loud enough to get people to turn their heads towards them. The daughter of Demeter immediately stands up, his wrist still in her grip, and turns to start making her way out of the Pavilion once more. "C'mon, I know all of the best shady spots to sit at." The blonde boasts, assuming he's going to get up with her and let her guide him.
Josie chews on her lower lip, nodding to Spencer. "That's great." She says with a smile, still watching Nat and Hunter interact. After a while she turns back to Spencer and starts to stand. "Well, if you're all settled, would you like to take a tour? Or has someone already showed you around?" Josie asks, her head tilted slightly as she waits for an answer.

βYeah I slept in.β Jacob rubbed the back of his head with a small smile. βMornings just suck you know?β He laughed softly.
Finn tried to copy her stance and movements. It was an immediate improvement on what he was doing but it was still off.

Thankfully, Blaze had set down his fork on his plate before Frances grabbed a hold of his wrist and pulled him from his seat. "Woah!" Blaze exclaimed as he felt the grip of Demeter's daughter. Surprisingly, he didn't realized how strong Frances was and had to catch up with his arm. "Okay, okay," Blaze said with a shake of his head. He was amused with the enthusiasm of Frances, but another thought crossed his mind as he walked toward the lake.

Frances looked back at him with a grin, finally letting go of his wrist and slowing her pace just a bit so they can walk side-by-side. "Thanks for coming along, Blaze. I know water isn't really your thing but maybe you'll see that it's not so bad!" She said enthusiastically, shoving her hands into the back pockets of her shorts as she walked. "Plus I heard it's supposed to get pretty warm today, so a dip in the water might not be so bad." Frances added after a moment, looking to Blaze now as they walked along the path towards the lake.

Heyo)
Phoenix watched him for a moment before she continued to talk, βYou also have to watch your balance as well.β She said, giving him a light push to prove her point, βKeep your feet spread apart, and shift your weight equally balanced. That way, when someone attacks you, you wonβt have to worry about falling when you defend yourself.β
Kumiko gave a shrug, βI donβt mind the mornings.β She said, βBut your up now, we should go find something to do.β
Nakita had gone into the water, going under and swimming around. She stayed under for a while, waving to the naiads as she swam.

Blaze gave a nod, his head a little out of the conversation, but he still was responding as if he were listening. He didn't mind hanging out with others, but then again heat hardly bother him. As a child of Hephaestus, he could bear heat a little more than most, but that also caused him to be a little bit colder during the winter months. "Well that's up to you, but I told you. I'm not getting in the water," he said a little firmly. He didn't mean to sound rude, but large bodies of water were caused a little bit of fear within him.

Frances really couldnβt wrap her head around why Blaze was refusing to get in the water and while she knew she should just drop it an idea suddenly hit her. The Demeter girl gasps and grabs his arm with one hand, stopping for a minute. βOh my gosh, Blaze, do you not know how to swim?β She asks sincerely, eyes wide and brows lifted. βItβs okay if you're self-conscious about it, I could teach you! Iβm not so great myself but Iβm good enough to teach it, probably.β
(lmao Fran just wants to help)

Blaze's head snapped to look over at Frances and he started to laugh. "Fran, I know I how to swim, I just don't feel comfortable with water," Blaze chuckled. He shook his head in amusement, glad to see someone willing to go an extra mile for someone. Yet, there was only one way he was going to get into the water and one person that would convince him to do so. Except why would they speak to a child of the deformed god, especially with their stature. "Don't worry, I just will enjoy my time on the beach."
HAHAHA I can see that)

Right away Frances can feel her cheeks turn bright red. She felt so silly for not realizing the obvious. Of course a child of fire would feel an unease about water, she shouldβve known that. Nevertheless, Frances smiles sheepishly and nods, cheeks still pink. βRight, right. Of course you know how to swim.β She says with a chuckle, letting go of him and starting to walk ahead once more. βWe donβt have to go to the lake if you donβt want, I would hate to make you feel uncomfortable.β Frances told him. βI could definitely have just as much fun in the strawberry fields.β

Kylin blinked at the centaur. What. The. Actual. Hell. He thought. The legendary Chiron the centaur stood in front of him. "My- My name is Kylin." Kylin squeaked. He always wasn't confident in socializing. "I would like t join your camp." Kylin gulped.

"No it's perfectly fine. I actually like the beach, just not fond of being out in the water," Blaze said with a shrug of his shoulders. He didn't even realize how ridiculous his fear of the water sounded, but ever since Beckendorf's death, most Hephaestus didn't enjoy being out in Long Island Sound. Of course, Blaze and his siblings would rather be inside Bunker Nine working on projects, but he wouldn't mind taking a trip down to the beach from time to time.

Fran's cheeks stay warm as his hand gently squeezes her shoulder, her expression softening as she smiles more genuinely. "I understand." She said with a nod, picking up the pace once more that turns into a light job. "Then...last one there is a rotten egg!" She calls out before racing off. While Frances wasn't gifted with long legs, she was still quite the fast runner, pushing hard with her legs to gain some sort of advantage on the boy was way taller than her. She wants to take a glance back but doesn't want to sacrifice any focus on trying to beat the Hephaestus boy.

Blaze watched as Fran took off at a sprint and he just gave a chuckle, but was a little surprised at how fast she could run for a shorter person. He didn't doubt that anyone in camp was particularly slow as they almost everyone trained in combat and had to have an endurance to battle for long periods of time if necessary. After he gave Fran a good head-start, Blaze took off a run, his long legs carrying him in longer strides each running step he took. Quickly, he was right on Fran's tail, but eased off on his speed allowing the Demeter girl to beat him to the beach.

Frances could feel Blaze catching up to her and she grins, starting to run even faster, which wasn't much. Once they reach the lake, Fran slows to a stop and very dramatically leans over, hands on her knees as she pants heavily. "You...cheater...!" She calls out, lifting her head up enough, some curls getting in her face but she quickly blows them away. "Ohmygosh I'm gonna die." She says quickly, clearing her throat and now standing up straight. "You let me win, I know you did! I wanted to win fair and square, even if that means you kicking my ass at first." Frances says, finally catching her breath and giving him a playful glare.

Blaze slowed his pace as he approached, careful not to overrun her place. As he stopped in front of her, he could hear her throwing accusations at him. He threw a playful shocked face with his mouth open, then threw his hand on his chest as if offended. "Me... A cheater?" He said, holding back laughter. He watched her breath heavy, but understand that she would be fine, which turned out to be true. "So, what are we gonna do? Build a sand castle?" Blaze asked with a snicker.

Fran grins at him, starting to chuckle and snorting through her nose as she does. βYes! A cheater!β She walks up to him, crossing her arms over her chest and standing up on her toes to be a little closer to her height. βYeah, I just might do that, and I wouldβve done it even if you hadnβt of suggested it.β She pokes his chest, a mischievous glint in her eyes as she continues to grin at him. Her expression softens slightly and she shakes her head slightly. βNext time we race Iβll beat you fair and square.β

Blaze just laughed and begun to smirk as his suggestion had convinced her to do what he thought would be some fun. The great thing about building a sand castle, designing and building things was one of his specialities, which was another advantage over Fran. He ignored her poke and started to pile up a heap of sand to use for his castle, but his attention moved to the water. Something was out there, but he couldn't tell what it was. "Can't wait to see you try," Blaze mentioned half-hearing her comment.

Nakita had found some Hippocampi and was playing with them for a bit before she decided to resurface, waving goodbye to them as she swam away. She popped back above the surface of the water and looked around, seeing a couple campers on the shore.

Frances smiled widely and watched as he began to work on a sand castle. She knelt down and watched him for a moment before deciding to pile up her own sand and sculpt her own castle. "I bet you can't." She challenged, her castle looking more like a dome. "I bet I'll make a way cooler sand castle than you will." Frances said, hoping her tone sounded confident enough even though she knew this would be another challenged he'd excel in. Her attention is briefly taken off of her sand castle when she lifts her head and spots Nakita in the distance. Frances smiles and gives a small wave to the other girl before focusing back on her sand castle.

As Blaze started to build the main portion of his castle, the sound of water splashing caught his attention and his eyes zeroed in on Nakita out in the water. Suddenly, his heart began to pound heavy and fast, his attention fully away from the sand castle construction. Nakita... Don't do this, you know damn well that fire and water don't mix. You have no business liking her! His brain screamed at him to turn his attention away from Poseidon's daughter, but his body was froze. Trying to not be an idiot and weirdo for staring, Blaze gave an awkward wave to the girl. Dear Zeus, are you hopeless his conscience replied.

Frances didn't notice Blaze's hesitation but she did recognize the awkwardness in his wave. She tilts her head curiously, now looking at the way he was watching Nakita. Fran chewed on the inside of her cheek, raising a brow as she moved over to Blaze and waved a hand in front of his face. "Earth to Blaze, anyone in there?" She teased, giving a slight chuckle as she sat back once more. "Hey, you're staring." The blonde girl told him in a hushed tone. Once Nakita walked over she sat back and gave her a smile. "We're seeing who can make the better sand castle!" Frances told her, tempted to ask if she wanted to judge but wasn't sure how well Blaze would be able to operate if she'd suggested that.
