Dakota was a bit surprised that Phi was jealous of their non-existent connection with their godly parent. "Well, they're meant to ignore us and have no connection to us anyways," they stated, "Plus they've never been there for us, so why even communicate with us after joining camp?" Dakota hated that the gods and goddesses only communicated with some of their children and only even communicated with them after joining camp.

Ryver stopped in his tracks. He looked over as he heard Soul's voice. A smile spread across his face as he heard that she'd be staying for a while. "That's great!" He exclaimed. Ryver's face flushed in embarrassment at how he sounded. "So, is there anything you'd like to do while you're here?" Soul rubbed the back of her neck and gave Ryver a shrug, βI guess I wouldnβt mind taking a look around the camp grounds.β She said, a bit unsure. Kumikoβs reaction hadnβt been what she had expected, but she couldnβt be sure about the other campers here. For now, she would keep her heritage to herself until she felt that she could actually trust the people here.

"Alright then," Ryver nodded, "How about a small tour around the camp then?" He still had a smile plastered on his face. "We could take a look around the cabins, the other locations, or just do both," he offered. Ryver was excited that he would be able to show Soul around. Although he hadn't known her for long, he enjoyed her company, even if she was secretive and quiet.

Phi just shrugged as he said, "I have no clue, maybe they are just interested when they can actually start to get things out of us. Honestly my old man only ever talks to me whenever he needs something from me, which is fine by me frankly." He then raises his eyebrow and asked, "Why do you care?"

Dakota sighed. "I just don't really enjoy only being used when it's convenient for someone," they shrugged, "It's just a bit..." They searched for the right word to complete the sentence. "Selfish, I guess. And unfair to the person being used." If it was one thing Dakota hated more than big crowds, it was being used. They'd had a bit of experience when their 'friends' wanted something out of them or their family decided they wanted to start caring to get something.

"Not a big fan of being used as someone else's tool I take it," Phi said with a devilish smirk. He then saw the dinning hall and seriously said, "Look I know it sucks, and maybe some day your mom will talk to you, but for now just gotta deal with are reality. Now let's grab some grub and enjoy are more hedonistic sides."

Dakota cringed as she took a look at the dining pavilion. "Seems a bit crowded to me," they replied. They took their hands out of their hoodie pocket and crossed their arms. "No way I'm going in there," they said while they stopped walking, "I'll come back later. When it's less crowded."

Phi groaned as he looked at Dakota and said, "You wait much longer and it will probably be just as crowded, if not more so. So why don't we just get so food and dip, have are own little feast." His devilish smirk appeared again as his eyes changed color as he said, "Or I could make them have a maddening good time so they would leave."

Dakota huffed. "Fine," they groaned. They put their hands back in their pockets. "And no using madness," they said with a strict tone, "It's not fair to use your abilities for things as small as this." They slowly began to walk towards the dining pavilion. They could already hear all the loud chattering and laughing that indicated there were many people.

"If one who I call friend is not happy then I don't find the use of my power the least bit unfair to do so," Phi said without a hint of sarcasm. As they got close to the dinning hall a couple campers here and there stopped talking as they saw him come close. He knew this was this because he had used his powers to make those now silent campers go mad in either capture the flag or because they annoyed him.

Dakota rolled their eyes. It wasn't fair that Phi got judged based on his ability and what he could do. They thought they should say something about it, but decided not to; not wanting to cause a scene. "Ignore them," they whispered to him, "They're dumb."

Phi just looked at Dakota and just shrugged as he said, βDonβt worry I hardly ever do anyways. Besides some could argue that a few of these stares are warranted.β Placing his hands on his head and asked, βSo what ya feeling like eating?β

Dakota scratched their nose a little. "Not sure," they replied. They weren't really one who made up their mind quickly, but they weren't too picky either. "Pick for me I guess. I'm not picky." [ bloodrosepelt]

Horus watched as Kassie caught the dagger and turned it into a snowflake. After she had thrown it, he gave a nod of agreement to what she had said. "That may be true, but we just have to learn how to roll with the punches and to adapt quickly." He said, having to change strategies several times before in battle. "I'll get out of your way, I don't want to interrupt your training." Horus said, knowing how seriously some tend to take their training. Kassie gave him a small acknowledgement, her eyes still dead set on the training dummy she destroyed moments ago. "Thanks," Kassie murmured. Although, she wasn't looking Horus to leave just yet, her adrenaline and emotions unchecked was a horrible thought. She would need an outlet sooner than later and she would rather have no one in the cross-fire until she got the fire inside under control. "Have fun recruiting and strategizing" Kassie called after Horus.Β βAnd you try not to overtrain yourself!β Horus called back over his shoulder, giving Kassie a wave, βYou donβt want to wear yourself out too quickly.β He added, moving to leave the training area. He had a few head councilor chores to take care of before lunch, so he shouldnβt mess around for too long. Strategizing for the next Capture the Flag game would have to wait until then. Besides, he was fairly certain he had a pretty solid plan.

She did wonder what else this camp had to offer besides just shelter and training.

Phi shrugged as he said, βAlright then, just donβt complain if you donβt like what I bring for ya.β He then went over to where the food was and grabbed a couple pair of ham sandwiches, four pairs, and a glass of water. With all the in hand he walked back to Dakota and said, βHere ya go Dakota.β

Ryver nodded and, once again, grabbed her hand. It was a bit of a habit with him now. He thought of places to start. "Hm... Oh! We can start at the dining pavilion," he finally decided. "There are a lot of cabins, so we'll save those for last." He quickly made his way over to the dining pavilion with Soul, stopping to wave at a few people along the way. [ Icefire15 ] ---------------------------------- Dakota took the ham sandwiches Phi had gotten for them. Ham sandwiches actually didn't sound too bad at the moment. "Thanks," they nodded, "Now let's get out of here. Too many people." They felt a shiver crawl up their spine as they looked at how many people there was in the dining pavilion. [ bloodrosepelt]

Phi gave a nod and said, βAlright, but you decide where we are eating then.β He then tossed one of the pairs into a nearby fire as a sacrifice to the gods. With that done he took a bite out of his sandwich and waited for Dakota to move.

βOkay, sure.β Soul said, letting him lead her. If they were going to the dining pavilion, she wondered if Ryver would be okay with her getting some food before they continued the tour. It had been a while since she had a decent meal, and she was fairly hungry.

Dakota took a moment to think of a place to eat and finally decided on the tree they'd been sitting under before Phi came. "Let's just go back to the tree," they responded. They hurriedly made their way out of the dining pavilion. ---------------------------------- Ryver and Soul had finally made it from the infirmary to the dining pavilion. He waved to Dakota as he spotted them and turned his attention towards Soul. "Here we are," he announced, "The dining pavilion where all the campers eat." (Sorry about the smaller replies.)

With a shrug Phi said, βAlright, that sounds okay to me I guess.β He then started to walk away from the dinning pavilion. As he left he could see Ryver and someone new. With a devilish smirk his eyes started to change color as the idea of using his madness on soul.

Dakota looked over at Phi and rolled their eyes. There was obviously no use in telling him off. Instead, they continued to walk towards the tree, waving as they passed Ryver. A breeze ran through Dakota and they shivered a bit, huddling down into their hoodie. Ryver glared at Phi. "Don't even think about it," he said with a hint of intimidation. He didn't want Soul's first impression of the camp to be somebody making her go insane, especially since she had only just agreed to stay for a while. "We don't want somebody's first impression of camp to be going insane because someone wants to have some fun." Ryver rolled his eyes when he said 'someone'.

Soul gave Phi a weary look, not trusting his smirk or the look in his eyes. Her guard had gone down a bit since she had met Ryver at the border, but it was quickly rising again at Ryverβs words to the other boy. It seemed she couldnβt quite trust everyone in this camp after all.

Phiβs eyes turned back to normal as he said, βOh calm down Soul I was only thinking about it, the eyes just do that when I think about things.β That was not a total lie, he just didnβt specifically say that it was when he thought about causing madness. With a smirk he said, βYou know I only cause madness with good reason.β He then walked away to catch up with Dakota.

Dakota sat down under the tree as Phi arrived. "Took you long enough," they grunted. It hadn't really taken Phi that long, Dakota just felt like teasing him. "New girl doesn't seem to like other people." They took a bite out of a sandwich as they waited for Phi's reply. -------------------- Ryver sighed. He placed his fingers on the bridge of his nose as though pinching it, but not really. "I'm sorry about him," he apologized, "Phi isn't really the nicest person here." He removed his hand from his face and let it drop onto his side again. "Don't worry though, a majority of the people here are nice people!"

Dakota sighed. Was Phi really this dense? "Most are usually relieved to find others like them," they explained, "She seemed... uncomfortable. Like she didn't want anybody getting close." They took another bite of the sandwich.

With a shrug Phi looked at his pear and said, βI guess you might have a point, but let me counter you. Maybe she had a relatively normal or good life before all this.β After another bite of his pear he then further said, βEvery once and a while a demigod gets one of those you know. So to go from that to this would make most people terrified.β
