I haven’t seen your ugly mug around for a while, Eli; so tell me, to what do this pleasure..?” [/i] At first it caught Eli off guard, his plan at hiding in plain sight was foiled, quickly. Damn campers always congregating in one area, don't they know large groups will always be targeted. He turned his head to the neighboring seat she sat in, and a friendly smile grew across his face. Exhaling smoke in her direction, the aroma of cotton candy spreading within the group. His gaze smoothed over to the still rather large joint in his hand…. [B]“ Demeter’s kids damn sure know how to cultivate, it's gotta be 40%”[/B] he stated admiring the cannabis qualities, before throwing his hand over his mouth to cough. He focused back on Erin and Syleste. Names, names were the first thing he had to learn again. It was done easily enough with the help from Charlie. [B]”Opposites attract right? My ugly mug was obviously drawn to your beautiful“[/B].. Eli’s hand slowly began reaching for her cheek, almost close enough to caress before quickly moving it in front of her nose pointing [b]”Booger”[/B] his attempted laugh ended in a hoarse cough, beating his chest with his free hand. [B]”Don't go mining for imperial gold. No need to send your crusty minions to the depths of Tartarus. Chill. Chill. I'm joking fam. Just wanna try and put some pieces back together, today”.[/B] He explained taping on his temple. His playful gaze dropped from his face. If you could see his eyes, being his lids were extremely low, you could tell Eli was serious, his memory was top priority. Though he quickly shook the feeling off hearing the soft and timid voice. [i]”S-Sorry Eli... I-I’m sure she didn’t m-mean it-...”[/i] Eli returned with a simple shrug. Syleste had enough attention on her with the big guy speaking in that southern accent. [I]”Afternoon everyone, hope I’m not intrudin’. Name’s Gabriel,”[/I] he noticed the broad shoulder male introduce himself. With Eli returning the head nod, hiding his frustration with the growing group. [B]”Eli”[/b]. The young demigod returned with a wave. [I]"Does my little Syleste have a crush on someone?"[/I] For the love of Zues, was everyone working against him? Trying to get Syleste by herself would attract too much attention to her and himself. No matter how bad he wanted her to pick through his dreams, he could never get close enough to her without the fallen angel stepping in. [B]”Don't worry Sy, I know how hard it could be to raise a hellhound”![/B] He joked playfully nudging Erin in her arm. A few of the campers in the background covered their mouths to laugh as quietly as possible. He didn't pay any attention if the other in the group would do the same. So many people, though Eli was able to take everyone into account. Postures, tones in their voices, body language, etc. Never being left off guard, occasionally looking over his shoulders to see if anyone else were to approach from behind. His eyes locked on Matthew for a split moment, also a child of dreams. Though how useful could Matthew be in piecing his mind back together? He barely even saw the guy let alone knew he capabilities in the other realm. Even still he could be useful, any help was appreciated and he seemed capable. Never underestimate another demigod.
