Looking back towards the girl he gave a small shrug before responding. [color=#0072bc]"About four years, actually. I usually stay year-round at camp here, trouble seems to find me on the outside."[/color] Ryland responded in a rather calm manner. To him, the camp had become his home so he didn't really see anything strange with having stayed at camp for so long. As they approached the entrance to the cabin, he could already hear the chaos unfolding inside and rolled his eyes. Giving Kiera an apologetic look, he swung the cabin door open to the dull roar of accusations and general chaos erupting inside of the cabin. [color=#0072bc]"Listen up kiddos, you got a new cabin mate for the time being until she's claimed. Treat her well, and if I hear about anything being stolen then we got a problem. Her name is Kiera, though I will let her introduce herself."[/color] He said in a rather confident tone as the cabin turned to look at the boy for a few moments. When Kiera elected to ask a question instead, she got various answers about camp activities ranging from volleyball to sword training. Along with more than her fair share of friendly greetings and waves from the cabin members. Seemed everything was going rather well on that front if Ryland had to take a guess. Though soon enough the time to quietly watch the interactions was over, as the question from Kiera was turned then on him. Giving a small shrug once more, he wanted to give a simple 'nothing much', but figured that wouldn't fly too well. [color=#0072bc]"Well, I evidently welcome our new campers now, I also teach the combat training down in the arena, and I'm the Oracle's guard as needed. Other than that, play soccer and prank our poor Oracle until she threatens me."[/color] He said with a slight grin at the last comment. Once she seemed settled in, Ryland spoke up once more towards Kiera. [color=#0072bc]"Since it seems like you're settled in, why don't I show you around camp?"[/color] He offered as he gestured for the girl to follow. He knew he had to show her around more or less, and end up at the Big House to meet Chiron at the end of it all. Once they were heading out, he gestured around at the massive amount of cabins surrounding the central firepit, each seeming to have vastly different themes. Ranging from the landmine-ridden Ares cabin to the barbie-like dollhouse of Aphrodite cabin. [color=#0072bc]"This, is where we have all the cabins. One for each God and Goddess, once your parent claims you, you'll be moved to their cabin. There you can meet your siblings and just, in general, enjoy the aesthetic of being among people just like yourself. If you ever need me, I'm in the big stone one on the end."[/color] He said as he pointed towards the Zeus Cabin that seemed to spark with electricity occasionally along the roof. [color=#0072bc]"Feel free to come by whenever I'm the only one in there so you won't be bothering anybody."[/color] He said with a slight laugh before continuing on his way. He took her by the forest, along with the cautions of never to go in there along, the lake and canoes, the lava climbing wall, and of course the arena. Though he ensured to stop and show her everybody's favorite building, the mess hall. At the arena, however, Ryland explained why it was important for them to know how to fight. Of course, he also mentioned getting her a weapon later before finally leading Kiera off towards the Big House. [color=#0072bc]"Alright, and finally we got the Big House. I know this was all a chaotic blur, but you'll get used to it I am sure. Just head inside to meet Chiron and Dionysus, though I think it fair to warn you that Dionysus is a bit of a dick so... expect that."[/color] He said calmly before waving to her and taking a step back. [color=#0072bc]"If you're up to it later, Kiera, I'll be at the arena teaching combat lessons. We can get you a weapon and some lessons, or just chat. See ya around."[/color] The son of Zeus said before turning to head off to start his lessons for the day.
