[indent][indent][indent][indent][justify][color=808080]When Wes mentioned being Aphrodite’s kid, there was a gentle squeeze on his shoulder. He let his gaze drift to the touch, following the hand along her toned arm and up to Trinity’s face. His gaze locked with hers for a moment as his hand rested on top of hers. A soft sigh escaped his lips before his usually goofy grin shifted back into place. 

The blonde withdrew her hand, then asked [color=66356a]"And do you still have a crush on him?"[/color]

Wes’s face contorted in an awkward discomfort. [color=667c0c]"[i]Trinity[/i]."[/color]

[color=3b9ae1]"I, uh, what?"[/color] Rae’s voice jumped an octave or two, while her cheeks flushed nearly as red as her hair. [color=3b9ae1]"I—no? I mean, I don’t think so. I [i]don’t[/i], it’s just—"[/color] She looked toward him for some sort of rescue before running her hand over her face.

[color=667c0c]"Rae, it’s fine."[/color] He held out his hand in a calming manner like someone trying to approach a skittish animal. Wes looked between the two women definitely feeling like he should have eased into this conversation a million times better than he did. But his foot was already in his mouth and the damage was done. [color=667c0c]"Trinity is just protective. There have been some overly… [i]forward[/i] girls at camp before. But she knows I’m loyal—"[/color] he spared a glance toward the blonde in question, [color=667c0c]"—and that we’re [i]just[/i] friends. Right?"[/color] He raised his brows, hoping Trinity would confirm what he said… or if he somehow just made everything even worse.

[color=3b9ae1]"People change,"[/color] Rae spoke up, just above a whisper. [color=3b9ae1]"High school was... a long time ago."[/color]

Well, that settled that… [i]he hoped.[/i]

[color=66356a]"Yes. You two probably have a lot of catching up to do. Lots of things to address."[/color] Trinity chimed in after he offered to help Rae find a cabin, and motioned toward his absent arm. [color=66356a]"You should give her the full tour and really fill her in on camp."[/color]

[color=3b9ae1]"Yeah, no, I haven’t picked a cabin yet, so some help would be nice."[/color] She flashed them both a smile. [color=3b9ae1]"I’ve got a lot to learn, apparently."[/color]

Wes’s gaze drifted over to Trinity, where his smile faded slightly. [color=667c0c]"What about you? You can join us,"[/color] he added, nodding his head in the general direction of the map board thing Andy conjured earlier. He knew better than to think Trin would join them, but he also hated leaving her feeling… whatever way she felt. His gaze drifted down to Rae as he set down her suitcase. [color=667c0c]"Can you give us just a minute?"[/color] He took one step away then pivoted, holding up his index. [color=667c0c]"Don’t go running off."[/color]

He reached out and took Trinity’s hand in his, then led her ten or so feet away where his words would only be heard by her. Wes released his hold on her so his hand could lightly cup her cheek, his thumb resting against the skin before her ear. [color=667c0c]"Hey,"[/color] he whispered, dipping his head to make sure the stubborn blonde held his gaze. [color=667c0c]"Rae is [i]just[/i] a friend. I’ve never slept with her, dated her, or kissed her."[/color] He looked back and forth between her blue eyes. [color=667c0c]"I could be the last man in the world and I’d only want you."[/color] His words were slow and concise making sure every syllable sunk in. [color=667c0c]"I love [i]you[/i]. Ok?"[/color] A small smile tugged at the corner of his mouth before he leaned in and pressed a tender, loving kiss to her forehead. 

Wes would wait there as long as necessary until Trinity was calmed and gave him the ok to leave. Then, and [i]only[/i] then, he gave her a kick kiss. [color=667c0c]"Go have fun. I’ll be back in a jiff."[/color] He flashed her a smile and wink before heading back toward Rae.

[color=667c0c]"Alright, short shit,"[/color] Wes teased while scooping back up her bag. [color=667c0c]"First thing you’re gonna need is a map."[/color] He nodded his head in the direction of the map bulletin board on the far end of the field. His feet started carrying him to the west, being sure to keep his pace slow so Rae could keep up. [color=667c0c]"A lot of new demigods arrived today, but I’m sure there are still some available cabins around. This place was basically a ghost town before this morning. Kinda crazy how the Gods just decided today was the day to dump all their kids here,"[/color] he mused, as if the redhead had a clue what he was talking about. 

When they reached the map board, Wes set down the bag and grabbed one of the pamphlet maps. [color=667c0c]"Not sure if there’s any trick to it,"[/color] he said as he pinned the paper to his torso and started working on unfolding it. Once it was open he stuck the map into Rae’s hand with a smile. [color=667c0c]"But knowing Andy, there’s probably some magic [i]something[/i] involved."[/color] He stepped around behind her, looking over her shoulder at the map. [color=667c0c]"Ok, so we’re here,"[/color] he said as his large arm reached around her to point to their location on the western side of the field, near the entrance. [color=667c0c]"And that’s my cabin,"[/color] he added, pointing to cabin 21, which also, coincidentally, had his name beside it. 

He chuckled looking over the rest of the map, noticing names he didn’t recognize listed next to some of the previously empty cabins. [color=667c0c]"Magic,"[/color] he mused. There were still a handful of available cabins for Rae to choose from, nothing crazy, but everything was relatively close and within decent walking distance of pretty much everything. 

[color=667c0c]"So, anything catching your eye?"[/color] he asked as he stepped aside, flashing her a smile as he picked back up her bag.[/color][/justify][/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent]
