Lacy notices Arrow's outfit for the first time and brightens at the chance. "I'd love to!" she almost jumps up and down.

Arrow's eyes widen as she laughs and try's to hide behind her bow. "I think it'd be fun. Not sure I've ever gotten along with an Aphrodite child though," she playfully brings up her hands in fists and moves to a fighting position.
"Oh, don't worry, It's really hard to dislike me," Lacy says brightly.
"Right. Maybe I could teach you some moves in exchange for an outfit make over," Arrow suggests. The thought of trying to teach a daughter of Aphrodite how to fight almost makes her take the offer back, but she thinks about how funny it would be and decides against it.
Lacy thinks it over. "I don't know, I'm pretty klutzy. You would probably give up on me."
"Nah, don't worry. You'll be fine. Just don't aim at me," Arrow says.
"I won't make any promises," Lacy says and looks at her watch. "Oh! I've got to go, I have a meeting about redecorating my cabin."
Arrow tries to cover up her laugh, but it comes out as a snort. "Sorry," she said hiding her smile. "Alright well just tell me when."
"Okay, see ya!" Lacy says, and runs in the direction of camp.
Arrow slowly walks in the same direction taking her time and wondering how on earth she's going to achieve this.

Jack walked along the paths, with Ona flying behind him. He climbed an oak tree, and looked around at the world below him, watching out for people.((Just so you know, Ona is his bird friend.))
((Dani?))
((she was the other person who wanted to rp))
((I thought you were doing a different rp with her... I can delete my post, if you want.))
Ella walks along the path with her robotic wolf walking behind her. She slip on her gloves as she noticed a stranger.
It wasn't her cabin.This was the first thing Dana realized only seconds after she opened her eyes in the morning. Her head ached when she moved, and she remembered absolutely nothing from the previous night. At least she wasn't naked which she considered a good sign. While looking for her phone in the clutch that was left on the ground, she tried to remember what had happened the night before. She went to the party that was hosted by the Aphrodite cabin, had a few supposedly non-alcoholic drinks with a friend and that was all she could recall from the evening.
Nathaniel was running the path as he usually did in the morning, being a habit that didn't die from his coming to camp most times rather then be around his adopted military mother. He hadn't spoken to his brother of late but he knew he needed to practice his knife work this morning as well. He thought about all this until he near tripped over a girl laying in the middle of the path, instead hopping over her and turning around mid leap then skidding a bit to slow down. "There a reason you are resting in the middle of the path?" he asked his tone a slight bit irritated as he didn't like being interrupted which from the sweat on him said he was near done with his run.
A thin layer of perspiration coated her face, the hot humid air and harsh sunlight that peeked through the trees beating down on her. The weather was as mild as Texas, changing several times throughout the day, depending on where you were. Also kind of like the Aphrodite cabin with their drinks, the victim could be fine one second and the next be tripping over their own feet. She positioned her body sideways to stand up, but was startled by a blur of someone jumping over her. A yelp slipped out of her lips as the scare induced the inevitable migraine. When the boy talked, her brain felt as if it were pounding harshly against her skull and slowly; agonizingly splitting it apart. “Whisper, if you please.” She hissed, clutching her head and closing her sensitive eyes to aviod the pain that came with them catching the light. “As for your question I'll get back to you on that, once I find out how and why I even came here of all places.” She wondered why he had woken so early in the morning, since he clearly had been running for a while due to his clothing having large dark patches - of sweat no doubt.
Nathan raised an eyebrow at her hiss, the request to whisper saying she had a headache and from the details she gave, it sounded like a party. "Went to a party didn't you?" he asked in a whisper as she asked though it sounded a touch sinister being his father was the embodiment of the dark which held whispers of sound. He held out his hand to help her up as she seemed of balance.
With squinted eyes, she grasped his hand and pulled herself up with unsteadiness. Her body swayed lightly to the side before most of the nausea went away and let her find her balance. “Yeah,” a perceptible, sheepish smile curled the corner of her lips. “Someone must've slipped alcohol in the punch.” Although the brutal headache was still present, she was able to focus her sight more on her surroundings and boy in front of her, taking in the smallest of details. The virescent hue of her hazel eyes became prominent as they registered the greenery and contrasted with her dark mane. “Who's kid are you? You have that familiar tone of voice that the darkness' children normally share.”
"Ah not enjoyable when one isn't warned and rather dangerous as well" he said with a scoff, finding the fact rather stupid. His own eyes were the deepest of black as well his hair which was a rather rough sweep to the right though it was a bit out of sorts being he was running. "Erebus" he said simply, letting her judge him being the titan of darkness son which usually got him mistrust.
Dana finished her assessment and zeroed in on the other demigod, already have quickly evaluated her current location; the paths. “It is,” she agreed. “There were younger campers loitering around the courtyard in front of the cabin and inside, how could the guilty one had kept track of who consumed the punch?” The mere thought of the person who was responsible for the act getting away with it made blood rush to her cheeks in anger and taint them a red hue.Many rumors of the children belonging to the Titans had circulated the camp for several years since they had emerged, straying the other campers away from contact to those with that hierarchy. Despite hearing less than half of them, Dana remained unaffected by his words. Instead of acting shocked, wary, or even apprehensive like she had seen countless of other demigods react to another's deity parent, she opted between leaning against the tree or taking a seat on the rock behind her that was beside it. She decided on the latter and carefully sat on the scorching surface of the rock. “Tell me, how do they normally react to you - or your parentage more like it?” She brought up her long legs to her chest and rested her crossed arms on it, and placed her head on them.
"Yes well I am sure they will be caught eventually being who CHiron is" he said with a shrug, sitting next to her. "Well most that know generally who Erebus is, mistrust, the ones who know more, tend to judge me as evil before knowing me" he said with a sigh, rather tiring of that though there were exceptions such as herself.
Dana hoped the camp directer would catch them soon. She tilted her head to the side, eyes darkening. “Condemned to solitude because of your father.” She murmured, a frown etched on her soft features. “Until now.”
"Sometimes it would seem as that" he said with a shrug, not really much difference from what he usually experienced. "Really and is that an offer to change it for longer then a moment?" he asked smiling just the smallest amount.
Instead of answering his question, she simply smiled through the headache and rose from her sitting position. “Follow me.” She gestured to the path that led deeper into the woods.
Nathaniel eyed her questionably as the line of not following strangers or near ones came to his mind but he jut shrugged as he could shadow travel away if he needed to. "I suppose that's a you will see" he said and followed her, checking that his blades were still secured behind his back.
Threading through the steadily thickening trees, she maneuvered them through the tight spaces in between and sharp surroundings. “Your wariness is understandable but unnecessary,” she shot him a smile over her shoulder. “I want to show you something. Chiron wouldn't approve of me revealing him to you but I think it'll be a good way to start out our friendship.”
"Lucky I can disappear in an instant if I decide against that" he said with a shrug, following easily. He didn't know what she was leading him to but he didn't read much harm in following her. "Now I am curious what you could be hiding" he said with a raised brow.
Stepping over a jutting thick tree root , she silently took out a fairly large piece of silver metal out of her front pocket. It glinted against the sunlight that managed to reach through the trees' leaves and branches. “You wouldn't need to.” She shot a genuine smile at him, looking over her shoulder at him, her dark tresses spilling on them. “I'm aware that trust isn't something easily earned in your book, your body language tells me that. Analyze me and you'll see that I don't mean any harm.” Juggling the block of metal between her hands, she paused to take out another and handed it to him. “You'll need this if you want to gain his trust, the tiniest bit of course, but it's worth more than none at all.”
He followed easily raising a brow at the silver though her smile seemed genuine even in the dark. He took the metal and shrugged not really concerned in getting the guys trust as he was living down a reputation.((Been awhile eh?))
((I'm so sorry for that, summer's been hectic so far that didn't realize how long it's been since I logged on here. How's it been for you? Also sorry for the theatrics, I've been watching way too much Hobbit if you get the hint.))Silence ensued after her words, her attention focused more on finding him. Her senses were on high alert, intently listening and scanning their surroundings, fully aware that he was near. Having been by his side since he was a hatchling, they both developed telepathic bond much like Grover and Percy. “Stay here, he doesn't take strangers too kindly if they're near me.” she held out her palm to him as the mental buzzing grew stronger, her eyes flashing as it intensified.

Flicking its tongue out, he emerged his head from where he had been concealed by the large boulders, amber eyes glinting coldly as he scanned the area where Dana and boy stood. “Why have you brought him?” He rumbled, stepping further out and hovering protectively over her as he continued to assess the boy.
((((Its fine, Jackson and Tolkien are great story tellers)He just nodded at that instruction, thinking it best to follow her advice as he didn't feel a fight was what she wanted to see. "Because I helped her, here" he said with a scoop, flipping the chunk of silver to the rather temperamental dragon even though he was Dana's friend. His scowl said he didn't like the dragon's tone either and was here just to continue talking with Dana.
((Mauro isn't Dana's brother, he's a temperamental dragon.))
((AH must be thinking of Cass aren't I?))
((Haha yes.))The aenous scales of his genetically armored body seemed to close in on each other tightly reflexively. A hostile look spread across his sharp features before it passed as quickly as it came. A small demigod of such heritage can't inflict major harm on him, but Dana was another story. His heightened senses permitted him to be able to see the aura each demigod possessed that revealed who was their deity parent. Mauro silently took the two metal blocks in his mouth, their sizes compared to him being drastic and made them appear like bread crumbs. “How?” He demanded, eyes narrowed. The steely look in his gaze however softened when he felt the familiar sensation of his scales being pulled gently.
••••
The effect of her tugging the sensitive side scales was immediate, noticing how the tension in Mauro's body melted. “Forgive him,” she shot a sheepish smile at the demigod. “He clearly isn't used to newcomers.” A glare was directed at the dragon as she said it, making him silently growl in annoyance. She retracted herself from her protective friend and sauntered toward Nathaniel. “Come, this isn't what I want to show you.” With a moment of hesitation, she grasped his hand.
"Simple though I think that is up to Dana if she wants to explain" he said not intimidated by the dragon as the dragon couldn't teleport which made things quite easy and Nathan had tricks most son's of Erebus didn't know. "Of course not, you have to trust someone first, if anyone can relate it would be me" he said, letting her lead.
Thursday began walking on the camp paths, holding Daisy's hand in hers.
"So, do you stay in camp for the whole year?" Daisy asked as she stoke Thursday's hand with her thumb.
"I have nowhere better to go," said Thursday. "My father was the only family I had."
Daisy stopped and wrapped her arms around her. "If it makes you feel any better, I have no family either."
Thursday offered her a half smile. "I guess we orphans have to stick together," she said, brushing her lips against Daisy's cheek.
"That sounded as depressing as going to pay a visit to Hades." Daisy giggled.
Thursday laughed. "Well, I am sure someone out there would enjoy visiting Hades."
"Probably.." she whispered lost in thought.
"Is something wrong?" Asked Thursday with concern.
