[color=8DC73F]“You won’t lose me, Syl. I’d never let that happen.”[/color]

One moment the puppy was there, and the next it was gone; eased off of her lap where it had been struggling to stay, and had been almost forgotten in the girls worry for her older brother and the others going out on the quest with him. It wasn’t fair… it-... it just wasn’t fair… Why did he have to go- no; why did [i]any[/i] of them have to go..? Though she didn’t know him all too well, and while she may not have ever had the chance to speak to him, she knew for a fact that Alan wasn’t the one that stole the dove… so why was it that he and the others still had to suffer while the real bad guy was still out there somewhere..?

[color=8DC73F]“I’ll come back, I promise, Syl. I’ll take some drachma with me, and I’ll Iris message you every day, okay? So you can know I’m alive and well.”[/color]

The dog was once more in her lap; Prince’s paws pressing down and into her thighs before the suddenly the gentle pressure was once more gone ever completely from her lap, leaving her to panic slightly, and for only the briefest of moments about where in the world the pup had gone running off to before her brother’s arms around her was again helping to bring her mind back to the current situation they seemed to find themselves in.

Her cabin was going to be empty- she was going to be alone… well, not completely; she had those who had gathered around her that were more than willing to do their part, and to help out Connor by looking after her while he was gone from camp. Elena, Michael, Niesha. They were all willing to step up, and to try and fill the place of her brother while he was out saving Aphrodite’s bird from whatever bad place it had ended up in; and while they were all amazing people in their own way… they just weren’t him… they weren’t Connor…

[color=8DC73F]“Syleste, if it wasn’t such an important mission, if we weren’t going up against Ares, I’d take you, but it’s important that we do this, and do it as quick as possible, for Alan. I need to go pack, but I’ll come back before I meet the others. Prince, stay.”[/color]

[color=LightPink]“..e-every day…”[/color] Never once letting her grip over Michael’s top waver, not even just a little bit, Syleste turned her head so that she was able to look up in the direction that she could hear her brother’s voice coming from, his warm touch helping to give her just that little bit of courage to accept the fact that this was something that (whether she liked it or not) had to happen no matter what, [color=LightPink]“..y-you promise; call me e-every day..! P-Please, Connor…”[/color]

And just like that, he was gone. Heading back towards the cabin so that he could pack, while leaving her in the more than capable hands of their friends.

[color=00A651]”..y-y-your buh-buh-brother is s-smart. H-h-he’ll b-buh-bring everyone b-buh-back. And… p-puh-please c-c-come stay w-wuh-with us. I d-d-don’t like the th-th-thought of y-you alone in you c-cabin.”[/color]

H-He wanted her to come and stay with them..?

Relaxing her grip over the front of his top only the tiniest of amounts, Syleste lifted her head so that she was able to look up in the direction she could hear his voice coming from… his gentle breath inhaling and exhaling in a steady rhythm, her bright though cloudy light blue eyes seeming to flick back and forth between his own as if she knew exactly where they were in the first place- he was so sweet… he was worried about her; just as the rest of their friends were. It wasn’t very often she had to spend extended periods of time without her brother being right there for her when she really needed him the most.

[color=Lightgreen]“A slumber party would be pretty fun, we could just stay up late and hang out, and do whatever we’d like.”[/color]

A slumber party… she’d heard of them, but never before had she ever had, or been invited to one of them. They sounded like so much fun- staying up late with your friends, eating popcorn and chocolate and lollies, and watching movies and listening to music until you couldn’t keep your eyes open anymore… It was most definitely something that had always piqued her interest, but it seemed like now with Connor going off on his quest, she had more of an excuse than ever to try it out and see whether or not she actually enjoyed it.

“Excuse me. I do not believe that to be wise, however, I can offer you a chance to stay in my quarters. If you would like.”
[color=FFF200]“No, that wouldn’t be wise.”[/color]

Catching wind of not only a voice that she didn’t seem to be able to recognize, but also one she did which seemed to be growing a little defensive towards the newcomer, Syleste once more let her hands ball up, tightening her grip over Michael’s top once again as she curled her shoulders into his body, allowing herself to curl up into the warmth of his arms as she continued to stay silent, listening with confusion to the conversation being held around her.

[color=FFF200]“You’re one of Artemis’ aren’t you? I can understand the whole ‘men are bad’ thing, but my brother isn’t bad. Syl would stay in my room, if she wishes to stay in our cabin. And no offense, but coming up to and speaking to a blind girl like that is just asking for her to freak out a bit. Besides, nothing will harm Syleste with Moe around, and Prince is a feisty little thing.”[/color]

A huntress..? Though the thought of meeting one of the hunt caught her interest, Syleste buried herself further into Michael’s chest, refusing to pull herself back to speak to anyone while the two of them seemed intent on squaring off with one another; even if one of them seemed to be more invested in the action than the other. Neisha was an awesome person; someone who was always there for her when she had a problem, or even when she just wanted someone to talk to about things she couldn’t bring up with her brother… but just like Connor, she didn’t understand; and how could she..?

None of them knew what it was like to live their lives in the dark…

The hunt offered demigoddesses like her freedom… a chance to be independent, and to work with one another while exploring the Western world, and carrying out the will of the Goddess of the moon herself... But for her… it was also a chance to be able to actually leave the camp…

[color=FFF200]“Unless you count dogs, my brother is outnumbered four to one. And Syleste knows us, she doesn’t know you.”[/color]

Well that was that. It was the end of the discussion even if she wanted to something completely different to the outcome. It was clear that Neisha didn’t want her spending time with the huntress whomever it was she might be; and even though the thought of freedom was enticing, the young daughter of Athena was correct… she [i]didn’t[/i] know the huntress.

[color=LightPink]“..I-I want to stay with m-my f-friends…”[/color]
