Addie awoke to a sharp pain in her neck and absolutely no feeling in her arm. Being the awkward human being she was, Addie had waited to get her own shelter until almost everyone else had gotten their own. She'd gotten lucky last night, since one of the younger kids insisted that she take one of the shelters, and she couldn't really argue due to the same awkwardness that made her wait. Of course, she was only lucky to have gotten a shelter. The one she ended up in was far too small for a girl her size, even though she was not the largest girl at camp, by far. She carefully scanned her clothes, decided that no one would notice that she was wearing the same clothes as she was yesterday, and started toward the pavilion for breakfast. The bathrooms were always crowded around this time in the mornings, and she was not going to risk running into one of those Ares girls. They were always very mean to Addie, and she couldn't avoid the teasing by looking at the ground like she normally did with them. That only made them angry, so Addie decided that the only solution was to avoid the Ares kids at any cost. She wasn't a fan of most Aphrodite kids, either, as they liked to give out makeovers, and she was fine with how she looked (most of the time). 

Addie popped up her hood as she walked, almost blocking out other campers. She did this most mornings, and it mostly worked. A few newcomers would sometimes come to talk to her, thinking they already knew her or were already her friend. They would then sit with her for a couple days at mealtimes and leave after they made actual friends. Addie didn't really mind this pattern. After all, it did mean that she got to meet a lot of the new campers and hear some of their stories. Occasionally, she'd even talk about herself, but only if they insisted. Today, there were no new arrivals, so she had no plans to sit with anyone. Idly, she dumped some eggs and half her waffle into the ceremonial fire and tried not to pray something spiteful. She ultimately decided to pray for strength, the most generic thing she could think of. As she made her way for the corner table, she noticed the Aphrodite girl who helped make some of the shelters for the Hermes cabin. [i]Maybe I should thank her? I mean, I wouldn't have shelter most nights if not for her...[/i] 

"I wanted to- no, I mean... Erm, that is... Uh, thanks for helping with the, um, the... the shelters for, uh, for Hermes cabin."

[i]Wow, great wording there, Addie. Absolutely inspired.[/i]
