[b]Location:[/b] The Dining Hall
[b]Interacting With:[/b][color=a187be] [b]Luca Cardwell[/b][/color] [@Undine] [b]|[/b] [b][color=82ca9d][b][color=82ca9d]Lil Ashbourne[/color][/b][/color][/b][@Wintergrey] [b]|[/b] [b][color=0072bc]Leah Willoughby[/color][/b] [@GoddessSophia] [b]|[/b] [b][color=82ca9d]Christian Burns[/color][/b] [@HushedWhispers][/center]

[b][color=7ea7d8]L[/color][/b]istening to everything Luca had to say, while polishing off the rest of his favourite coco-pops cereal, Casper knew he was right. Richard [i]was[/i] getting to him, and he hadn't even been at camp for a day. If he was going to last the entire summer, he'd need to learn to 'block it out', so to speak. By the end of his pep-talk, Casper did find himself to be genuinely smiling, and he couldn't help but allow for a brief, amused laugh at his last remark. [color=7ea7d8]"I guess I always was bad at faking smiles. My mum used to always hound on at me to 'smile more' in photographs after she shouted 'Cheese!', and I would be like, 'Muuum! I am smiling, honest!'"[/color] Reclining back into his chair, he folded his arms across his chest casually as he continued on, [color=7ea7d8]"Seriously, though. You're right, and I know that. I've got Alex. I've got you, and, like...all of my other friends! Yeah. I'm not gonna' let him get to me, hon--.."[/color]

[center][color=82ca9d][b]"Boo"[/b][/color][/center]
[b][color=7ea7d8]F[/color][/b]linching away from the sudden voice, [i]right[/i] beside his ear, he didn't even process whether or not he recognized the voice. Instead, his first thoughts were something along the lines of, [color=Gray][i][b]"Oh no it's Richard, somebody help me please!"[/b][/i][/color] Thankfully however, when he turned to see who was responsible for his rather undignified scare, he was in for a pleasant surprise. [i]Though, really, it being anything other than Richard was more than a welcome surprise[/i]. His mouth, having been hanging open in shock, soon turned into a wide, beaming grin as he realized that Lil' was standing beside him. [color=7ea7d8]"Lil! Lil! Hi!"[/color] Scooting over on the bench, he patted the open space beside him in an invitation for her to sit. [color=7ea7d8]"Oh my gosh--..you gave me such a fright! ..but, like, a good one, I suppose! How are you?! You look great! Are you going to the leader's meeting? ...wait, silly question. Of course you are!"[/color]

[b][color=7ea7d8]B[/color][/b]efore she could reply to the torrent of questions thrown her way, however, Casper caught Leah in the corner of his eye. Seeing her filled him with more confidence about the upcoming summer. With Alex [i]and[/i] Leah looking out for him, what could possibly go wrong? [color=7ea7d8]"Leah! Hiya!"[/color] He replied, before nodding his head gently at her kind words of reassurance, offering her a smile in thanks. [color=7ea7d8]"Thanks, Leah! Yeah, I'll be at the campfire, for sure."[/color] Turning his attention to Christian momentarily, he raised his hand in a half-wave, [color=7ea7d8]"Hi Christian!"[/color] Soon after, both Leah and Christian had headed off together, and Casper once again turned his attention to Lil.
