She could have waited long enough for River's reply, but the person next to him unnerved her so much that she fled like a deer. Next time she saw her, she would make sure to be more polite. For now she would get that hot shower she really needed. Even though she grew up in Scotland, she remembered how warm and humid it was living in southern USA. Iliana recalled the last time she was in Atlanta. When she had turned 16, the family took a trip to Atlanta for vacation. Biggest reason was to see her father's grave though. At the time during one of the few times her mom visited, she finally had the courage to ask her mom what happened to her dad's body that night of his death. She had taken care of everything, including making sure her father got buried somewhere nice outside the city. That trip had been a good one. She got addicted to grits during the trip, but sadly no one back in Scotland knew how to make the stuff. Ever since coming to camp, it was one of the things she ate a lot of, especially now in the winter. Once inside her cabin, she took off her outer clothing before heading into her bathroom. She took her time in the shower and by the time she was done, she was feeling much better but knew she probably would be sore for the next few days. Putting on fresh clothes, she put on her outer gear before going back outside into the cold again. Walking towards the Main Hall, she wondered what River had in mind for them tomorrow. She wouldn't think about it just yet. Entering the Main Hall, she saw that plenty of people were still there. Iliana felt torn. Should she join someone or eat by herself. If she was honest with herself, she didn't feel like socializing at the moment, especially with so many people around. While it was true she was trying to improve her social skills, she found she was still very much an introvert who enjoyed her quiet time. Decision made, she got a tray before placing a nice bowl of hot grits on it. She got smaller bowls with fruit salad and pistachio nuts, before finally getting a cup of hot chai tea. Sitting by herself, she took off her outer wear; she was getting hot. She looked at others while keeping to herself. Maybe when supper came around, she would be in a better mood to talk to others. There was still a lot of new campers she hadn't met yet. While she knew it wasn't a race to get to know them all, she hoped to meet everyone at some point. It would be nicer if she could have a close friend to confide in. She had a few friends of course, but she was still a way off from having the same kind of relationship Heath and Ethan had. Finishing her meal, she quietly got up and cleaned up, took her dirty dishes to where they needed to go. Going back to her seat, she put on her extra gear before going back out into the cold. What to do now? She could head back to her cabin to work in her greenhouse. After all she did promise herself to make more of that ointment. For some reason, she didn't feel like going back. Call her crazy, but she felt like walking around. Yeah the weather wasn't the greatest, but she enjoyed the calmness it brought with it. Going to the right, she took the path passing the Main Office towards the cabins that would lead to the lake. This would also give her a chance to see what the outside of the cabins would look like, well, the ones with any new campers. The only cabin she knew that was over this way that was occupied was Evelyn's. Walking past the Main Office, what she saw took her aback. The 'cabin' she saw was no cabin by regular means. In fact it looked like something out of The Lord of the Rings for it resembled a Hobbit's hole. Charming it was. Eager to see more cabins, Iliana walked on. Next cabin was still a regular one. The one after that looked like a traditional log cabin, but it was different enough that Iliana could tell it belonged to a camper, just barely though. After that was Evelyn's cabin. To Iliana's left, she saw a cabin that was similar to Heath's a combination of stone and wood. However this cabin had another smaller building nearby. Iliana wondered what was inside there but would never go in without permission. Looking to her right again, the cabin after Evelyn's was not a cabin. Iliana couldn't tell what kind of architecture it had, but the building was a pretty yellow color. Finally before reaching the beach, the last cabin along this road, well, it too wasn't a cabin. Rather it was completely triangular, something Iliana had never seen before. It had a lot of windows and Iliana could see through it too. But what really caught her eye even more was the huge pool in front of the house. Now that was something she wasn't expecting. It was as wide as the house itself. Someone enjoyed swimming that's for sure. Maybe this was River's, but it could easily be someone else's too. It was just easy to assume this was River's since with him being Poseidon's son, he probably would like a pool. Finally reaching the lake, Iliana made sure to stay away from the waterline because if the air was cold, then the water was bound to be freezing. In Scotland during the winter, smaller lakes would freeze over. In the warmer months, the water would still get cold though. As Iliana walked along, she came upon a few more occupied cabins. First one was completely white with a wooden building attached to it. The next one was another log cabin, with a red roof and a stone chimney. The final cabin was similar to the prior one, only with 2 huge windows on the second floor, plus it was bigger too. Iliana would have continued on, but something caused her to stop. She spotted something white up ahead. Curious, she approached it at a slower pace. As she got closer, she could see it was a canine. Was it a wolf? Close inspection answered that question. Definitely not. Was it a dog? A very big dog. Did the animal belong to any of the new campers? Iliana couldn't recall seeing any new campers bringing any animals. The only camper who had a pet was Sloane and her dog looked nothing like this one. Seeing she had the dog's attention, Iliana stopped, several feet away from it. Crouching to her feet without putting her knees down. Iliana spoke calmly to the animal. [color=#4a766e]"Um, hello, are you lost? I won't hurt you."[/color] She didn't expect the dog to understand her, but she didn't know what else to do.
