Athanasia had been delighted with her summoning of the skeletons, though that happiness soon died when she learned that both Arthur and Andy had found themselves in the medic tent. Why had she split up from her brother? The ‘half’ part conveniently forgotten.  Some kids had been talking about it while walking to the sing-a-long and Athanasia had diverted her course. [i]”Missus, they’ll be fine! They’re tough kids. Why in my day-”[/i]

[color=SlateBlue]”Shush, Chatters.”[/color] Snapped the pale-haired girl uncharastically harsh with the skull, who wisely shut his jaw. Weaving her way thanks to a few helpful instructions Athanasia quickly spotted Andy exiting the tent and grabbed the girl up in a tight hug. [color=SlateBlue]” I heard you and Arthur got hurt! Are you alright? I mean, of course you’re not! Oh, la! You had me worried!”[/color] Athanasia chattered on in a mixture of worry and relief. Holding at arm’s length the one-legged skeleton hopping up behind her as dark eyes searched Andy for injury and frowning at the bandage on her arm.

Andy tensed as Ash hugged her. It wasn’t that she was upset at the hug, she just wasn’t used to them. She knew she was supposed to wrap her arms around the other person and she did, but it was slow and obviously nervous. [color=b71d5d]“We’re both fine.”[/color] She considered how best to explain to Ash that the two of them had hurt each other. [color=b71d5d]“I fell from a tree, and he...well I hit him really hard with some electricity.”[/color] She held up her unhurt arm and demonstrated a spark between her fingers. [color=b71d5d]“They have these squares of food that taste like chicken soup and heal up just about any injury. The arm is only wrapped cause it is sore still.”[/color] 

Andy noticed the hopping skeleton and raised an eyebrow at Ash. [color=b71d5d]“Looks like you had fun.”[/color] Andy wasn’t certain if she was weirded out by the skeleton and after a moment of deliberation she decided any well-decayed corpses were worth the friendship with Ash. 

Grinning slightly, Athanasia shrugged as she removed her hands from Andy’s arm lest she hurt her friend further. [color=SlateBlue]” Well my first one was missing an arm, then some campers lopped off his poor head.”[/color] Scrunching up her nose slightly as she turned to look at the confused looking skeleton she sighed. [color=SlateBlue]”I suppose I ought to tell him to go back, but it’s rather nice to see the others do a double-take. Plus it’s so much easier to get directions when there’s a skeleton who can tap people on the shoulder and not someone short like me.”[/color] The girl winked with a conspiratorial look. Quickly sobering, Athanasia frowned at Andy with a worried look. [color=SlateBlue]”How bad is Arthur hurt? And who pushed you out of the tree?”[/color]

As Ash spoke Andy grinned. She enjoyed Ash’s way of messing with people. She also had a good point. Being under five foot made it hard to get the attention of the older campers. [color=b71d5d]“Uh they said triage?”[/color] It was clear to Ash that Andy had no idea what the word meant and that she had never said it before. Andy couldn’t explain that since she had had a broken bone the med tent campers had looked at her first and that Arthur would be totally fine. As far as she understood Arthur had been electrocuted and maybe they needed to do a test on him. [color=b71d5d]“As for who pushed me...Wait I said fell out of a tree how did you even know someone pushed me.”[/color]

Athanasia just gave Andy an exasperated look. [color=SlateBlue]’You blasted my brother with lightning, while in a battle. You are both in the medic tent, after a battle. Falling out of a tree could happen, but it’s a [i]fight[/i].”[/color] Apparently the daughter of Hades had some particular ideas about battles. Namely that injuries were from fights, not just tripping and falling out of a tree. [color=SlateBlue]”Pushed, pulled, shoved, falling while dodging. Take your pick.”[/color] The girl pointed out. [color=SlateBlue]”And besides, if someone pushed you that just means I can sick my skeleton on them.”[/color] And an ulterior motive to have a bit more fun with her skeleton, which seemed quite reasonable to Athanasia. [color=SlateBlue]” After all, shorties like us have to look out for each other.”[/color]

Andy couldn’t help but laugh. [color=b71d5d]“Well you’re right. I was pushed, but we made up. Sorry, no skeleton sicking. It was Arthur.”[/color] Andy shook her head. [color=b71d5d]“I was in the tree with Marygold and Eva from Demetri’s cabin. Him and Kristin came across the river and I tried to zapp him. I didn’t do a very good job, so he climbed the tree but Eva wrapped him in plants. So then he got out of the plants and pushed me. I fell, broke my arm and hit him really hard with the electricity. Since we both hurt each other we forgave each other.”[/color] 

Athanasia listened to the story, nodding slightly as though she understood. Though she rolled her eyes and grinned in slight delight. [color=SlateBlue]”Oh la! Well at least you two forgave each other! I don’t want my friend and my brother fighting, that would make things ever so difficult!”[/color] She was worried about Arthur though, not really knowing what triage was. It sounded like something rather irritating though. Smirking like the chesire cat out of Alice in Wonderland, ‘Ash’ glanced at the medic tent and snickered. [color=SlateBlue]”And I can brag about summoning two skeletons while he’s stuck with the medics.”[/color] Turning her dark gaze back to Andy, a pale brow was arched as she tilted her head curiously. [color=SlateBlue]”Where are you going now? I think there’s a campfire, but I heard about you and Arthur and well… It made more sense to make sure you were both okay.”[/color]

[color=b71d5d]“Brag away, he didn’t summon any skeletons, at least none that I saw.”[/color] Andy looked toward where the campfire was being started even as they spoke. She took a sigh and said, [color=b71d5d]“I’m going to my cabin. Today has been long and I want to go to bed. I’ll catch you for breakfast?”[/color] She asked hopefully. Yeah, Ash had just called her her friend, something she hadn’t been expecting and felt great. Andy hadn’t ever really had a friend before so she could only hope that she was taking the right actions. 

Fluffing the pale braid that hung over one shoulder, Athanasia smiled and nodded. [color=SlateBlue]”Go with Andy and make sure she has everything she needs then return to the earth- rest- grave?”[/color] She ordered the skeleton with a charming smile as if it would affect the boney structure. [color=SlateBlue]”Of course! Breakfast should be interesting in a place like this!”[/color] The pale girl laughed lightly as she gave a final wave to Andy before slipping into the medic tent to see how her brother fared.

Once, mostly alone, Andy sighed relieved she hadn’t hurt her friendship with Ash. Hopefully, she wouldn’t be too harsh on Arthur for his part in their injuries. Then she made her way to her cabin going slow enough for the skeleton to keep pace with its single leg hopping. [color=b71d5d]“Uh, thank you.”[/color] She said to the skeleton at the door to her cabin, and the ground sucked it into it. Andy blinked at the empty air where the skeleton had been. Yeah....the weird was worth the friend. FRIEND! Ash had called her that. She decided she’d deal with the weird and the sparse cabin for the friend.
