[color=#4a766e]"Just taking my time. I haven't been able to talk to those who got seriously hurt in that last fight. Seeing them up and about is good to see though. I know I need to be careful around certain people. I want to give people here the benefit of the doubt, even after seeing certain people's trials, but I know I am naive and I want to change that. Of course there's all the new campers. I've managed to talk to a few of them. I'll try checking in on them tonight if I am able."[/color]

[color=851f1f]“No, no, no.”[/color] Duke waved his fork. Who she wanted to talk to and that she wanted to make the endearing check in on everyone rounds wasn’t what he was asking. [color=851f1f]“I said who do you wanna get to know. It can’t be everybody.”[/color] Though perhaps in her universe, it could. Iliana was already proving different.  

His correction aside, he supposed he shouldn’t have ignored one highlight in the rest of what was said. [color=851f1f]“It’s nice you give people the benefit of doubt and check on them. Some deserve it, some don’t. It’s something you’ll figure out through trial and error I suppose.”[/color] Unless Heath could help her cull a few people off the list from the get go. Otherwise, naivety had no magical wand for a cure. Camp could break her naivety and innocence gradually and slowly with enough burns.

 [color=#4a766e]"Have you met any of the new campers yet?"[/color]

Duke nodded. [color=851f1f]“Actually yes.”[/color] He gestured towards the bar. [color=851f1f]“A son of Ares. Leo. Worth the benefit of doubt too I’d say.”[/color] Though that was shooting above his area of expertise. Vouching for people wasn’t something Duke often did. Anymore.

There was a moment of silence as they ate. A comfortable silence. Duke was hungry and from what he could see of Iliana’s frame, she needed some calories. But Duke still felt obliged to make some discussion with his company. [color=851f1f]“Do you do any of this stuff?”[/color] Again, his fork twirled in the air in gesture to the whole activity field. He wasn’t asking if she partied but if she did any sledding, skating, dancing, games — any of the numerous present activities.

He had since chosen to lean against a tree with an arm and browse. Nelly seemed to dart around with infinite and exhausting to watch energy. Too preoccupied on the latest group of girls she elected to be with, Blair seemed to spawn out of thin air with evident disgust. [color=#c9bef3] "What in the 90s-ski-parka are you wearing?"[/color] She even took a closer look and pinched his collar. [color=#c9bef3]"I should tell dad to cancel your credit cards."[/color]

Blair was lucky he could even hear her because what the fuck was she wearing? Some risque burlesque outfit? [color=8e0047]“He needs to cancel yours first!”[/color] He argued, eyeing her lack of clothes in the same way she looked at his. Her outfit covered so little and probably cost a ridiculous amount more. The temperature was currently cozy but she’d freeze if nature took its original course again.

[color=#c9bef3]"Why do you insist on dressing yourself when your sister has more fashion sense in her pinky?"[/color] She started to circle him for a head to toe evaluation. Lochlan stared forward with a sigh as his overly bedazzled sister judged him in her glammed up loin cloths. [color=#c9bef3]"At least ditch the jacket and own the greaser look.”[/color]

Lochlan shook out of his jacket almost immediately and held it out to her gladly. Never mind the fashion feedback, she could take the damn jacket and put it on. But he knew she wouldn’t dare touch it again when it was despicable in her eyes. Normally Lochlan didn’t care what his sister wore, that was her prerogative but around a bunch of demigods drinking and suped up people wearing [i]that![/i] seemed like asking for extra trouble. Even for her. This was their first camp party too and she wanted to go, or be just about [i]be[/i] all out.

[color=8e0047]“What are you even wearing?”[/color] he shot back appalled. Though he didn’t care for its technical name or materials as much as why she landed on that dress and thought it was a good idea for someone smart. She must have been on one of her revenge / make a statement sprees.

Lochlan flicked his jacket over his shoulder and gave a cheery smile out of defiance. Neither sibling was compromising or sorry.

[color=8e0047]“Come get a drink with me.”[/color] He headed to the bar with he assumed Blair in tow.

He had just caught the end of some gorgeous creature asking a guy for help in finding a place to offload her stuff and where to go. The man responded by referring her to Andy initially, then used half his brain by introducing himself to the girl at least. That was more sensible.

[color=8e0047]"Shots!"[/color] He announced out loud to any bar goer in the vicinity.
