Sienna immediately put a hand over her eyes, just to make sure she didn't open them. That had been a male voice... "You're a boy, aren't you?" she asked, sighing, "You should get away from me..."

(Whoa sorry I was gone so long.)
"Why? Seriously, are you ok? You don't look good, and your covered in soil. Here, let me help." Sean leaned down and offered his hand to help her up.
"Why? Seriously, are you ok? You don't look good, and your covered in soil. Here, let me help." Sean leaned down and offered his hand to help her up.
((XD It's all good!))Sienna obviously couldn't see his hand, so she didn't take it. "What a compliment," she remarked dryly, "'You don't look good, and you're covered in soil.' I'll have to write that one down.
"Well, sorry if I insulted you, but you need to get cleaned up. Could you at least look at me here? I'm only trying to help." Sean crouched down next to the girl.
"Trust me," she said quickly, shaking her head, "You do not want me to look at you. Wait- What are you doing? You need to go away! I don't need help!"
"Why? Do you not like me?" Sean said with fake pouting in his voice.
"If I open my eyes, I will do way more than like you..." she warned.
"Oook. That is a weird excuse not to look at me. Please? I want to help. Can you tell me your name, Little Ms. Can't Look At Me?"
"I'm not little," she told him, "I'm average. My name's Sienna. And I can't look at you. I was cursed."
"Cursed? Cursed not to look at people? That's a weird curse."
"No, no," she laughed darkly, "I'm saving you from the curse by not looking at you. This is my choice. You're welcome."
"Um, thank you? I guess. What happens if you do look at me?" Sean lightly flicked her hands over her eyes and she flinched. "I bet it can't be that bad."
Sienna had the sudden urge to open her eyes and unleash herself upon him just to spite him, but she resisted it. "If I look at you, I will fall desperately in love with you for who knows how long. Hours, I've heard. Aphrodite's love scarf. There you go. Leave me alone."
"Now now, how am I suppose to believe that?" Sean smiled. "But you do need to be cleaned up."
"Fine!" she said, giving up, lowering her hand from her face but keeping her eyes tightly shut. "Fine," she repeated, "Help me get cleaned up, then."At least of she ended up looking at him, he would completely deserve whatever awfulness ensued.
"All right, Chili Pepper Pants, calm down the spice. Lets just wash you up and you'll be good as new."
"My name is Sienna," she said, and if her eyes had been open, she would have rolled them, "And let me remind you that I never got your name."
"Oh! Right, I'm Sean. Nice to meet you, Sienna Chili Pepper Pants." He joked, and took her hand and shook it.
Sienna readjusted his physical location in her mind. "You've been there this whole time?" she asked, "Oh, that makes much more sense. I thought you were there." She nodded to her other side.
"Well, if you opened your eyes you would be able to see me if I was here-" Sean slid to the left. "Or here." he slid behind her. "Or here." he went directly in front of her. He looked at her dirt covered face and wondered what it looked like underneath the grime. "Here." He took out a lace handkerchief and wiped her face clean. "There. All better?" he asked, and smiled at Sienna's closed eyes.
It did feel better not to have dirt on her face, but there was no way she was going to admit that. "I don't know if it's all better. It isn't as if I can see myself. It would probably be difficult for me to see my face even if I opened my eyes," she pointed out.
"Don't girls always have mirrors on them? I always thought that they never left home with out one."
"As you can clearly see," Sienna said, gesturing to her face, "I'm not exactly a daughter of Aphrodite."
"Yeah. Your better. Girls of Aphrodite drive me out of my mind. They just so self absorbed. You know how to be more than... That." he watches a group of giggling Aphrodite girls pass by.
"Uh... Thanks?" she said, not quite sure what to make of what he'd just said, "But really. Thanks for helping me. You can leave, now."
"No, I can't. You can't go walking around camp with your eyes closed. Your gonna need my help to get around, now aren't you?"
"Nope. I know exactly what I'm doing..." She tried to sound convincing, but she didn't even know where she was. She began to walk in a direction, but quickly found her way blocked by a bush and stumbled a little.
"Really? Where are you going then?" Sean walked with Sienna to make sure she didn't run into anything while they walked.
"I'm going to... the Archery Range?" she tried unconvincingly, "I figure my shooting can't be worse if I don't use my eyes, mainly because it's abysmal already..."
"Yeah, sure. If you want to kill as many as possible, than shooting with your eyes closed is probably best. I could show you how to actually do it, if you like. I'm a fair archer, if I do say so myself."
"The only thing I didn't seem kill last time I tried was a target," she laughed, "And I was joking. Not even the gods could ever help me with archery. I am a lost cause."She tried moving in a different direction, since the way she was going seemed to be blocked by something, and tripped over a rock.
((Might have to leave in a while. Just letting you know, so if I go offline randomly, that's why. :) ))
(Ok. Just now finishing up my reply to your last one. Do you wanna go to the archery range after I post sense we're talking about it?)
((No, I have a different rp going on there. They can just stay in the strawberry fields. I don't think Sienna has any clue where she's going, anyway. :) ))
(OK. :-))
"Alright then. No archery for you. I don't like the feeling of arrows piercing me anyway, so lets not." Sean helped Sienna up and helped her to sit on a rock, where she couldn't hurt herself. "So tell me about this curse of yours."

"I got it yesterday. A girl named Adelaide flicked the scarf in my face over in the Big House when I said that I couldn't promise not to tell about the prank she was about to pull with. I tried to get back to my cabin, but... That's obviously not where I am now, is it? Speaking of... Where are we?"
"The very heart of the strawberry fields. Can't you smell the blooming flowers of the fruit? Can't you hear the calling of the blue bird?"
"Umm... No?" Sienna said, "Well, yeah, but I've never been to the strawberry fields before, so it's not like I could recognize it..."
"But as long as you know its calm nature, you know its safe." Sean sighed, and gazed at the blue sky.
"You sound like a son of Demeter," she remarked, "...Which you very well might be. Who is your godly parent?"((I have to go in ten minutes, but I'll be back later. :) ))
(Alright. :-))
"Apollo." he sighed again, and lied back on the rock. "I'm considered 'weird' in my cabin."
"Apollo." he sighed again, and lied back on the rock. "I'm considered 'weird' in my cabin."
His voice had moved. "Weird? Why? And where are you?" she asked, stretching her arms out to try to find him, again.

"Down here." he said, tapping her shoulder from behind so she would know where he was. "I'm considered weird because I like nature more than the arts, like the average Apollo child."
(Bye)
"Indeed it is." he closed his eyes and just absorbed himself in the sun's warming rays.

"Well, I'm going to leave you here, then," Sienna decided, placing her hand over her eyes, again, "Even if you don't believe me about the curse."
