Mathias looked rather surprised for a split second, the bluntness of the question striking him. It meant that he liked her, she liked him, that they would just know how to give eachother companionship, to make a dull life more exciting, and less dark. And yet, he knew such a simple answer wouldnβt assure her, would it? It was still hard even now to decipher why he felt such a way for Echo and not as much for others he had been with. Opening a heart was opening a body to attack. Mathias opened his mouth for a long moment, before he finally spoke. βWhat it means? Thatβsβ¦ a loaded question. Iβd assume itβd be the same as any relationship?β He tilted his head, forgetting to realize that he had never had a full romantic relationship with anyone in the way most people did. Short physical trysts were all he knew, all he trusted ever since Laylaβs death had broken that part of him all those years ago. If he loved Echo like that, surely she would be lost too. Echo looked back at her hands at Mathiasβ answer, this conversation wasnβt going exactly as she had hoped it would. βAnd what exactly is a relationship to you?β She asked, hoping he would give her a straight answer. Why was this conversation so difficult? She could practically hear her mother telling her how love was never easy. Echo scoffed inwardly, trying to rid her mind of Aphrodite. She was the last goddess Echo wanted on her mind during this time. Mathias felt himself stiffen, giving the only answer he knew of. βSpending time together, getting to know eachother, in all kinds of ways. Those kinds of thingsβ¦ relationship things.β He offered his usual suave smile, though inwardly he felt himself flicker with unease and regret. Did Echo expect a deep devout thing here? He was only used to quick flings and casual affections, the concept of a deeply committed relationshipβ¦ he had no idea how to fit in that role. He had never grown up with his mother in a deep lasting relationship, and typically most of the children of Ares acted similarly with their casual hook-ups. Mathias glanced to the side, a rare show of unease in his expression. |

Claude had to bit hard on the inside of his cheek when Sarah mentioned she wasn't a child, but try as he might he just couldn't hold in his laughter. "Dude, you're not even twelve yet. Totally a kid still." He said amongst his chuckles, letting his little half sister take his hand and drag him to the pavilion. A thought came up and Claude wondered how Sarah might act if he dragged his feet, made them wait even longer, but his growling stomach had other ideas. He picked up his footing, walking faster beside the young girl and giving her hand a squeeze.
- - - -
"Oh, ew, and just why would I write about you?" Juniper scoffed, obviously finding the idea ridiculous. She set her journal down beside her but kept a hand on it. Will was always a peculiar sort. He wasn't someone she outright disliked, but his seemingly intoxicated behavior had always made her uneasy - not to mention she couldn't stand the tacky way he dressed. Even though she knew there was no way that Will could be drunk, she always found herself on edge whenever he was around. It was just her like that he'd found her at the lake. "You do, but why wouldn't you wear any shoes? What if you stepped in horse droppings, or whatever." Juniper shuddered at the thought, glancing down once more at his bare feet and cringing. "Just, keep them off of my blanket." A bit of charmspeak slipped through as she said that, which would make Will feel compelled to do as she said.

"I'm still a tween, not a kid! There's a big difference!" Sarah scoffed. She let go of Claude's hand and crossed her arms. Her face had a sort of pouting expression on it and she stayed completely silent. Although she let go of his hand, she still kept pace with Claude, making sure not to lag behind.
"I forgot to put them on and got lazy, and that's what this thing called a shower is for." Will explained as he moved his feet off of Juniper's blanket. He scooted over onto the ground and sat with his knees tucked in and his hands on the ground. "Also, you'd write about me because of how awesome I am," he said with a stupid smirk.

Ryver was around the entrance of the camp, not really doing anything in particular. He continued to walk around for a bit, when he noticed a girl with long, white hair and amber eyes. He thought that he'd seen her before, but he wasn't quite sure. Despite the rules of the camp, he decided to go out and talk to her. He walked out of the entrance of the camp and headed towards the girl. Once he reached her he greeted her, saying, "Hello, my name's Ryver, what's yours?"Soul's eyes snapped open at the sound of footsteps approaching and she scrambled back up to her feet, backing away from the boy quickly and eyeing him warily. Where did he come from? She thought, her eyes glancing around quickly to make sure there wasn't anyone else around. And how did he manage to get so close before I could sense him? I must've let my guard down. That would be the last time she would do something like that, even though Soul hadn't thought that she would run into anyone out here. Soul looked back at the boy as he introduced himself as Ryver and asked for her name, taking another small step back and staying quiet for a moment. "Where'd you come from?" She asked, voicing her thought from earlier and choosing not to give her name just yet. Ryver didn't look very threatening, but Soul wasn't one to trust someone she has just met; especially alone out in the woods. |

Ryver noticed the girls strange behaviour. "Don't worry, I'm not gonna hurt you," he said gently, "I just came from the camp in these woods, Cam Half-Blood." He wondered why the girl was so wary about seeing somebody, was she on the run from something? He hoped that she would lower her defenses a bit once he mentioned Camp Half-Blood.

Another deep chuckle left him as he saw Sarah's pouting face. "Alright, alright. Not a kid then." He placed a large hand gingerly on her upper back to keep her moving as they continued walking. "Let's go with twerp then, maybe pipsqueak. Oh! Or what about squirt?" Claude grinned, patting her on the back before offering his hand for Sarah to take once again.
- - - -
"How do you- yknow what, nevermind. I really would much rather not want to know." Juniper quickly decided mid-sentence that she didn't care for his explanation of how he could've possibly forgotten to put shoes on. It was none of her business anyways. She watched as Will fully moved off of the blanket, and she frowned slightly. She'd only asked him to move his feet, he didn't have to sit on the ground. The curly haired brunette laughed at what he said, slowly shaking her head. "You? Awesome? I don't know about that." She said with a snort. "If you're really desperate to know, I was just writing some poetry."

"True, those are normal things to do and expect in a relationship. But I'm not looking for just normal relationship things, I want a deeper connection." She said, looking away again. Echo took a deep breath, trying to calm her racing heart, "Mathias, I get the feeling that we aren't exactly looking for the same thing here." She stated, shoving her hands into her hoodie pockets nervously. |

Soul looked at him, a confused look on her face. She had never heard of a Camp Half-Blood, but it didn't surprise her that there would be a camp out here. "That's a weird name for a camp." She simply stated, still not fully letting her guard down. Just because Ryver said he wouldn't hurt her, didn't mean she would trust him straight away. |

Sarah smiled grimly. "And how about I call you Claude the Oversized Toothpick, cause you look like one and I'd really like to snap you in half right now," she stated coldly. Sarah took Claude's hand as he held it out again. As she held his hand, she squeezed it as hard as she could in attempts to at least get him to stop teasing her. "Or maybe the Flaming Hot Idiot, ya' know, because of your hair?"
"Well I know that I'm awesome," Will stated. He let out a small hm when Juniper said that she'd been writing poetry. A mischievous thought came to his head. Will suddenly snatched the journal from under Juniper's hand. He stood up to his full height and held the journal way above his head to see how Juniper would react.
"It's not that weird of a name once you know who goes there," Ryver shrugged, "In fact, I think you'd fit in well there." Ryver finally took a better look at the girl. When he realized just how beautiful she was, he couldn't help but smile at her. "Um. You still haven't told me your name," he mentioned.

βI doubt that.β Soul scoffed lightly, shifting on her feet a bit when he smiled at her. Sheβs never fit in anywhere before, what made this camp so special? And why was he smiling at her like that? Was her face dirty? Soul gave a shake of her head, what did it matter anyway? She glanced back at Ryver when he asked for her name again, still uncertain if she should it give it to him. βSoul. My name is Soul.β She finally answered.

"Well, it's nice to meet you, Soul." Ryver stated. He was glad that Soul finally gave him an answer as to what her name was. "I honestly doubt that you wouldn't fit in at camp though," he said. Ryver thought that Soul would probably fit in at camp. After all, it was for half-bloods and all different sorts of creatures. "Maybe you'd like to come check out Camp Half-Blood? Ya know, before you decide that you don't fit in there," he offered.

She stated, shoving her hands into her hoodie pockets nervously. Mathias looked at her, slightly surprised. She... wanted more than that? A flash of panic filled him, though it was crushed under a stone of defiance. Yet, his heart did yearn for her, but how could he possibly meet her expectations? How could she want him, if surely she knew what kind of person he was, and how he worked... yet, a part of him also knew that she was far better than he could ever be, kinder and more capable of feelings that always troubled him. He huffed lightly, looking to his side and shrugging sharply. "Well. What exactly are you looking for? A ring? Till death do us part, and all that traditional crap?" He regretted the words instantly, but they had already spilled out of him, as he instinctively pushed away in his panic at how to respond to such a deep situation. He suddenly felt hot with shame, and hollow with anger, though he wasn't sure who it was directed at. |

Happy New Year!)
βArenβt there rules or something against bringing random strangers into this camp?β Soul asked, still not understanding that Camp Half-Blood was a safe haven and not just a summer camp. She didnβt understand how a regular camp would just let anyone inside. Didnβt they have regulations or adult supervision or something? Soul shifted her wings under her coat, wincing slightly as she felt a stab of pain from her injured one. She really needed to take a look at it once she had a chance, and she couldnβt exactly do that with a bunch of humans around to gawk at her.
βββββββββ
Echo looked at Mathias, a hurt expression crossing her face briefly before she quickly turned away from him. βIs that so wrong?β She asked sharply, her hands turning into fists in her pockets, βTo want something like that? If thatβs not what you want, then thatβs fine. Just say so and we donβt have to continue this any further than it has to go.β She said, trying to keep her voice from shaking. Echo was proud, and she didnβt want to let Mathias know just how much his words had hurt her. Did he really expect her to be okay with just a casual relationship?

Mathias felt a crushing sensation in his chest. He knew he had to decide here, what he could possibly do. He swallowed, looking at her again. "I didn't say it was wrong. I just... was surprised at how seriously you've thought about something like this. I want you, I like you more than anyone else, I..." I've never been asked to be in a relationship like this. He wanted to say, though finding the words was impossible for the impulsive and stubborn son of Ares. I don't think I'm good enough for that, what if I hurt you? Or lose you? If I get too close, and I lose you... He closed his mouth, watching her for another moment. |

βWhatβs so surprising about wanting a serious relationship?β Echo asked, feeling a slight frown starting form on her face. She finally looked back at Mathias, a challenge in her eyes. How did this conversation take such a wrong turn? It had been going well in the beginning, but now they seemed to be on the verge of an argument. Echo didnβt want to argue with Mathias, and she felt for him as he did for her; but why was she feeling so defensive over this?

"It's not surprising anyone would want one, It's surprising you'd want one with me. I imagine I have a reputation around here. I won't deny that either, because it's not wrong. I like casual, I like fast and thrilling, all that. I guess a part of me thought that was a mutual feeling, but... guess not." He admitted, wishing he was better at explaining it without his blunt tone. He inwardly wondered if she would find him disgusting for his lifestyles, and while he wouldn't blame her, it didn't make the simmering terseness in his chest go away. |

Ryver shrugged. Soul was right to question who could come inside, but he found it a bit funny. "There are, but that's what the barriers are for." He said. Ryver noticed as Soul winced and her coat shifted. "Besides," he began, "You're hurt. I'm sure that if you make it through the barriers we could treat you if your hurt." He hoped that Soul would accept, he knew that something was different about her and hoped that they would allow her in camp.

Echo sighed and started to walk away, "Don't worry, I'm not going to force you into something you have no interest in." She said over her shoulder. How could I be so stupid to think he would want an actual relationship with me and not just some fling? She thought to herself. |

Soul asked, wondering why it would need any barriers. She could understand having fences of some sorts, but not barriers. Besides, she still wasn't sure if she could trust this boy yet, although he did seem kind and not like others she had met before. But she couldn't forget the last time she had trusted someone, and how they had seemed kind at first too. Ryver had a point about treating her injuries though, and she had a small amount of supplies to treat them herself. |

How could I be so stupid to think he would want an actual relationship with me and not just some fling? She thought to herself. "Sure it doesn't." Mathias muttered, not quickly believing that Echo had no care about his reputation. Surely to her, who desired a deep relationship, he must have seemed like a used and faithless option. Deep down he knew that he wanted Echo more than anything, and just as he predicted, he just had to open his mouth and mess it all up. Maybe it would hurt less if she didn't want him at all, than wanting him and him not being able to be as good as he wished he could be for her. He let his emotions guide him, as most kids of Ares did. He stood up, facing her and wrapping his towel around his neck. "Nobody could force me to do anything, Echo. Nobody. Not you, not the Gods, not anyone." He swallowed down his desperation to call after her, to say the right thing, to make her stay. "I won't force you either, though. If you want a pure loverboy, I'm sure there's plenty in the Camp. They'd be blind to not want you, so..." He turned his eyes away, hating the way his chest ached. |

Echo whirled around to face Mathias, icy blue eyes glaring at him, βI didnβt want to just with anyone, Mathias.β She snapped, shaking her head. βJustβ¦ Just forget it.β She grumbled, turning on her heel sharply and storming off the beach. Echo took a deep breath, trying to calm her racing heart and clenched her shaking hands into fists. She thought back to Mathiasβ last statement of anyone in camp would want her and gave a sharp shake of her head. What, like she was some sort of possession everyone just had to have? Echo scoffed and hurried towards her cabin, not wanting to be caught out past the curfew.

Mathias watched her go with a clench of his fist, feeling a wave of fury rush over him as he reeled back and drove his fist into the bark of the tree beside him. He felt the bark splinter under his knuckles, and the welling of blood at the force of the hit. He let the pain momentarily distract him, before he hung his head and cursed sharply at himself. It wasnβt supposed to go like this. How could she ever want him now? |

Echo sighed as she quietly closed the cabin door behind her and quickly climbed into her bunk, wanting to put this night behind her already. Sleep was proving to be difficult for her though, and she tossed and turned before she finally managed to fall into a broken sleep.

Kumiko sat in the stands of the training arena, working on making some new trick arrows, humming quietly to herself. Training had gone well today, so she had some free time on her hands. What better way to spend it besides on some new arrows that could surprise the enemy? Phoenix let out a quiet curse under her breath, tossing the ruined piece of scrap metal. The was the fourth one she had wasted today, and she still couldnβt get her mind to focus on her work. The daughter of Hephaestus grew frustrated with each piece of metal that she failed to shape the way she wanted it too. Phoenix huffed and sat back in her chair, rubbing her forehead to try and rid herself of the building headache. βThis is getting me nowhere.β She grumbled to herself, pushing away from the table and leaving the Forge. Here are some I made a while back lol Iβll make a few others as well.) Ava was sitting at the Hades table during breakfast, drawing in her sketch pad as she ate. Though she seemed to be more focused with her drawing then her breakfast. Not far from the Dining Pavilion, Echo and Nathanial were talking together quietly. They exchanged a few more words before Echo gave a nod and the two cabin counselors shook hands, seemingly making a deal. Echo turned and left the Dining Pavilion, deciding that she wasnβt hungry. Truthfully, she just didnβt want to see Mathias at the moment, and she doubted he would want to see her too. Meanwhile, Nathanial walked towards the Ares table. He was surprised Echo had agreed to letting them team up with her for the next game of Capture the Flag, but the daughter of Aphrodite had accepted his proposal and offer of a chore switch. He was curious to see if she could lead a successful battle strategy against the Athena cabin. |

Sarah smiled grimly. "And how about I call you Claude the Oversized Toothpick, cause you look like one and I'd really like to snap you in half right now," she stated coldly. Sarah took Claude's hand as he held it out again. As she held his hand, she squeezed it as hard as she could in attempts to at least get him to stop teasing her. "Or maybe the Flaming Hot Idiot, ya' know, because of your hair?"
"Well I know that I'm awesome," Will stated. He let out a small hm when Juniper said that she'd been writing poetry. A mischievous thought came to his head. Will suddenly snatched the journal from under Juniper's hand. He stood up to his full height and held the journal way above his head to see how Juniper would react. Claude knew that Sarah was being serious, but she was so much smaller than him and the idea of her trying to snap him in half was a very amusing image. He knew better than to keep laughing, the last thing he wanted was for his half sister to think he was making fun of her. But how was he supposed to keep in his laughter when she was being so funny? At such a tight hand squeeze, Claude squinted his eyes. It didn't really hurt much, but it was uncomfortable for sure. "Flaming, what?" At the mention of his hair, his green eyes flickered up to look at his blond locks, which was impossible to see. "Well, look who's talking. Little miss goldilocks over here." - - - - Juniper could feel herself immediately break out into a cold sweat when Will somehow managed to pry her notebook out from under her hand. She stood quickly, her hands balled up into fists. He had about a good foot on her, so there was no way she could take it from him while he held it so high above his head. Gods knew there was no way in hell she was going to actually jump for it. Juniper could feel herself fuming, but she took a deep breath to try and calm herself down. Her expression softened and she sauntered up to Will, an innocent pout painting her lips. "Will, pretty please give that journal back, now." Her voice was dripping with a sickly sweet tone, heavily laced with her charmspeak once again. |

Kumiko sat in the stands of the training arena, working on making some new trick arrows, humming quietly to herself. Training had gone well today, so she had some free time on her hands. What better way to spend it besides on some new arrows that could surprise the enemy? Phoenix let out a quiet curse under her breath, tossing the ruined piece of scrap metal. The was the fourth one she had wasted today, and she still couldnβt get her mind to focus on her work. The daughter of Hephaestus grew frustrated with each piece of metal that she failed to shape the way she wanted it too. Phoenix huffed and sat back in her chair, rubbing her forehead to try and rid herself of the building headache. βThis is getting me nowhere.β She grumbled to herself, pushing away from the table and leaving the Forge. Here are some I made a while back lol Iβll make a few others as well.) Ava was sitting at the Hades table during breakfast, drawing in her sketch pad as she ate. Though she seemed to be more focused with her drawing then her breakfast. Not far from the Dining Pavilion, Echo and Nathanial were talking together quietly. They exchanged a few more words before Echo gave a nod and the two cabin counselors shook hands, seemingly making a deal. Echo turned and left the Dining Pavilion, deciding that she wasnβt hungry. Truthfully, she just didnβt want to see Mathias at the moment, and she doubted he would want to see her too. Meanwhile, Nathanial walked towards the Ares table. He was surprised Echo had agreed to letting them team up with her for the next game of Capture the Flag, but the daughter of Aphrodite had accepted his proposal and offer of a chore switch. He was curious to see if she could lead a successful battle strategy against the Athena cabin. Valen sighed as he stepped into the dining hall. He had just finished fixing one of the sinks in the Hades Cabin, and while it wasn't difficult, he did often find himself handling alot of tasks. He supposed that was par for course of being the cabin leader, though he wondered idly if the other cabin leaders had to deal with all the lovely mishaps of children of Hades. The stoic young man noticed Ava, and felt a flicker of care for the girl, who enjoyed artwork, just as he did. Approaching the table, he spoke to her. "Getting some artwork done, Ava?" For the first time in a very long time, Mathias skipped breakfast alltogether. He skipped morning training, skipped his usual run and sparring sessions. He lay in his bed in the Ares cabin, staring up at the ceiling and letting his thoughts run rampant. Echo was probably out there praising whatever God made her realize that he was not worth the time, or perhaps she had lost the feelings she felt knowing how he had reacted. Maybe that was for the best, though inwardly he felt rotten. |

Ryver sighed. "It's not exactly your normal camp." He explained. He didn't want to reveal too much information about the camp in case she wasn't able to get through the barrier, even though he had a feeling he could trust her. Ryver didn't really understand why she was being so cautious, it's wasn't like he was going to do anything to her.
"Ugh!" Sarah groaned. She dropped Claude's hand angrily. She stayed right where she had let go of Claude's hand. She turned her back towards him and refused to talk or look at him. Sarah found it rude that he would start calling her such names.
"Fine," Will said begrudgingly. He didn't really want to give the journal back to Juniper, but something had told him that he should. He held out the journal for Juniper to take it. Will then sat back down on the ground, his ankle a bit sore as he put his weight on it.
