"Well probably not but hey you only live once then again my lady would be angered," Gale said somewhat regretting her choice.
Mod
"Well yes I suppose so," said Gale wiping her forehead "Sure has gotten humid out," she mumbled noticing the heat index had risen.
Mod
Gale nodded, her human half was the one that felt it most, but her lower deer half didn't as much. "Yeah just dry humid air it's not really hot but it feels like it," she explained.
Mod
"What afraid I'll faint?" Gale asked with a slight chuckle "It's worse in the Camp Store than out here."
Mod
"Well... they have a fan but it's probably as old as when the built the store," Gale said, and that was the truth she was saving up with a fellow worker to get a ceiling fan to help it stay cool in there.
Mod
"Well it's going to take a while since I've got two growing mouths to feed as well as saving up for it," Gale said "But it's a goal I've got."
Mod
Gale sighed nodding "Trying to but honestly I just don't have the right education or knowledge on centaurs to, I just don't think they're getting the up bringing they deserve... sure the dryads and nymphs are such a huge help but they're so young..." she started but trailed off, "They're my world my two little brothers and I'm supposed to help them grow to be the best they can." Gale knew what she was feeling and she wasn't going to deny for the sake of her pride, she was becoming overwhelmed with the boys, work and saving up for that fan.
Mod
"I do and I'm not going to deny it, seriously how do you humans deal with it your species is so... complicated," Gale said looking at him.
Mod
Gale sighed "Well then you lot have it some what easy by the sounds of it," she said her left front leg pawing at the ground a bit.
Mod
"I suppose your right," Gale said "I've been thinking about sending them off... Olympus maybe I mean I was brought up well enough there..." she said more to herself.
Mod
"Proper schooling, proper meals things I can't give them right now, they could do so much for them up there!" Gale said "A roof over their head, loving home, children their age!"

Daisy was well-aware that she could easily decline this request by simply notifying Chiron and was prepared to do so, but then Dionysus gave her an offer that she could not ignore.
Free reign and electronics in camp for an entire week? Just grab a few packs of soda from a nearby convenience store? There was no way she was willing to skip past that opportunity. And so, she begrudgingly accepted the 'favor' all while trying to ignore Mr. D's smug smirk (which didn't really work-- she returned to her cabin half-fuming in irritation).
A few days later, and Daisy was here, standing next to the 40-feet golden replica of Athena that towered above her 5-foot-6 stature with intimidation. Its shield glistened with the early signs of dawn, shining in warm hues. She would have found this calming, but instead, it only fueled her impatience. Daisy wanted this to be done and over, but her supposed-teammates were not here yet. She had things to do, people to chase after, and her precious time was being wasted.
"Ugh, I'm going to go by myself if they don't arrive in the next fifteen minutes." She murmured to herself, tongue clicking against the roof of her mouth. Others might be gifted with the patience of a saint, but Daisy, on the other hand, was 'gifted' with the temperament of a demon.
((Sighs here we go lol. I am sorry for my huge lack of details lol.))In the distance, Anuki walked towards the statue. His red-orange hair seemed to be shining bright in the sunlight, maybe because of the fact he was a son of Apollo. Next to him, was his hellhound Linus. People called him his pet, but he considered them bestfriends. They went everywhere together. Anuki was so inteigued by hellhounds, he ended up learning everything humanly, and demigodly, possible about them. Some people even considered his love an obsession. As he approached the girl, he looked up at the statue. "Grandmother of my future children." He said to himself and Linus in a soft, hushed tone. He then looked down when he was a couple feet away from Daisy. "You're... ughhh.. the flower girl right?" Anuki said as he slowly held his hand out for a handshake, his smile as bright as his hair was. He wasn't very good with names. He even forgot someone else was supposed to be here to go shopping with them. At this point, he was just taking it as it all came by. "Winging it" as some people would say.

A figure approached in the distance, and Daisy automatically made herself appear more presentable. It was a force of habit and one that wasn't entirely unpleasant. As a child of Aphrodite, she was well-versed in the arts of attraction, and appearances accounted for a good portion of all romances. However, as the figure became more distinguishable, Daisy's shoulders slumped in disappointment. Gods, it was Anuki Slone and his 'dog' (more like a spawn of hell, but she will keep that to herself). He wasn't necessary a bad guy, but the fact that she couldn't find any dirt on him other than a crush on Annabeth Chase made him suspicious.
"Flower Girl?" Daisy squinted at him, slightly snarling. "Anuki Slone, you do know who I am, right?" She looked at his hand for a moment and decided to push it away. "I'm not shaking any hands until proper introductions are given. Also, why is your dog here?" She examined the hellhound in front of her with an accusing gaze. Daisy and animals never really did get along-- nature, in general, hated her (which was pretty ironic considering her name). This caused her to have a certain prejudice against animals, and the fact that it was a hellhound made the predicament even worse.
((Awww well thank you! :) I love yours and how long they are!))Anuki scoffed after she slapped his hands away. The good news was Anuki never took anything serious. This helped because he didn't exactly get mad at her gesture. He just kept smiling and laughed when she asked him who he was. He crossed his arms, shifting all his body weight to his back leg. He raised an eyebrow and looked her up and down. "Hmmm.. Named after a flower, thinks she's too good for a handshake, and hates my bestfriend before getting to know him." Anuki turned towards Linus and knelt next to him whispering in his ear. "Also thinks she's all that but couldn't land a guy like me and the attitude." Anuki stood back up and laughed. "You sound like a child of Aphrodite." Anuki said as he curled his fingers looking at his nails. "Am I supposed to know who you are? Did you like make Zeus fall in love with your mom or something?" Anuki joked laughing looking at Linus as Linus looked back at him. Anuki had an empathy link with Linus and he was able to tell if Linus was laughing with him, which was almost all the time anyway. Anuki also had a bad habit of sometimes being rude, even if not intended. It also wasn't his fault, to an extent, that he couldn't remember her name.
((Sorry that it isn't quite as long as yours are.))Audrey made her way over to the statue of Athena, little chores like this weren't something she would participate in on a regular basis however, she did still have to do things every now and then. She was running a bit late already, she had been taking a nap just before she left, as she rarely ever gets any sleep she was more than frustrated. She soon began to close in on the statue and she noticed that the other two were already there with a hell hound. Because that won't draw attention... She thought rather perplexed by what that boy was doing bringing that out there, it wasn't exactly monster repellent. She pushed her hair out of her face before jogging up to the others. "Sorry, I'm so late, I'm Audrey, who are you?" She asked happily, smiling at the people standing before her. There was clearly some sort of tension between the two, how so she had no idea, but it was there none the less.

Blood rushed to her face in anger and embarrassment. This was an insult to her dignity! She's Daisy Blanchefleur and this boisterous, loud-mouthed redhead was underneath her! It would have been fine if this was a normal day, where she didn't have to complete Mr. D's stupid request, but instead, Daisy will have to spend the next hour or so with this douchebag and his slobbering dog! To make matters worse, she had to skip on her date for this. What a total waste of her time.
"I will have you know that I am extremely well-known in this camp!" She practically hissed at him, each word filled to the brim with venom. "And for your information, I don't need to help my mother with Zeus. She already has the majority of the gods drooling at her beauty." Much like her mother, Daisy's reign in camp was mostly owed to her charm and appearance-- bright eyes, blonde hair, and perfect figure-- she was a real-life princess. It was impossible to deny that her attractiveness, but her personality needed a renovation.
Just as Daisy was about to verbally attack Anuki, she was abrupted by a new voice. Ah, Audrey Lockwood, the local insomniac. Daisy tsk-ed and quickly scanned the latter's appearance with contempt in her scrutinizing gaze. "Gods, why did Mr. D assigned these losers to accompany me?" She murmured, inaudible to everyone besides herself.
"Since I'm feeling nice today, I guess I will oblige you two." Her eyes rolled back in annoyance. While some campers might not know of her, Daisy definitely knew of them. She was everyone's intel and a professional gossiper. "My name is Daisy Blanchefleur, daughter of Aphrodite." Her glossy, pink lips lifted into a smile, one that was offputting and screamed 'I'm-only-doing-this-to-be-polite.'
Anuki smiled as she began talking. He already knew what he was going to do next. He walked up to Audrey. "Hi! I'm Anuki." He said then he began throwing his thumb towards Daisy. He whispered to Audrey. "I get it. You want to be fashionably late and a but you owe me for leaving me with her." He joked and began laughing. "Anyways, according to her, you should already know who she is." Anuki chuckled before he added. "She says everyone knows who she is... She must get around a lot." Anuki said cracking up. Linus followed by walking in a circle. The hellhound laid on the ground, probably anticipating Anuki to get smacked. He wasn't fond of Aphrodite children but no matter whose kid it was, he was making jokes the whole time.
Audrey laughed lightly at the joke. "Well, it's nice to meet you both!" She exclaimed raising an eyebrow at Daisy, her greeting was a tad too sweet for it to be very genuine. "Judging by your greeting, Daisy, you care about people's godly parent..." Audrey sighed as she entered an over dramatic bow. "Audrey Lockwood, daughter of Chaos and granddaughter of Aether." She said teasingly. She rose from the bow with a smile. She found it funny that Daisy decided to say who her mother was as part of her greeting. It was already quite clear due to her appearance and attitude. "Anyways, anything you two have left to do before we leave?" She asked, now deciding to get down to business.

"Oh wait, sorry, I forgot that you already are an embarrassment! Maybe that's why Annabeth fell for Percy instead of you." A smug smirk wormed its way onto her lips, perfectly complementing her haughty laughter. Daisy knew that this was not a mature way to handle things and she should have ignored it instead, but she frankly didn't really care.
With that done, Daisy backed off and turned towards Audrey, one blonde brow raised in suspicion and slightly contempt. "Oh, you're that girl." Her pouty lips pulled into a thin, tight line. This was going to be a long and tedious task, Daisy could already feel it. "Nope, I'm fine and dandy. I already prepared everything last night." She said, popping the 'p' in 'nope'. "Thanks for asking, though!" Daisy smiled at the latter. Her 'gratitude' and words came out sickly sweet and fake. Maybe if they had caught Daisy at a better time, she would have treated them with kindness, but that was obviously not the case.
When she walked towards Anuki, Linus started standing, the flames on his back starting to light up. Anuki gave a hand signal and the hellhound laid back down. As she took an approach to him, attempting to embarass him, he laughed it off. Deep down it hurt. He never met Annabeth in person. He only heard the stories of her. So, to an extent it hurt him. It wouldn't have hurt him enough to make him change his attitude. He would never show he could get hurt by a girl. Instead, he just smiled and laughed in her face as she began walking towards their partner. When she began talking, Anuki blew raspberries. "Must have been a while since your last time, eh Daisy?" He shouted after she tortured the poor girl with her sarcastic words and tones. Anuki peeked his head out from behind Daisy, making faces at her so the nice girl could see him doing it. Maybe he could save her from being in a bad mood from Daisy. Anuki laughed and looked up at the sky as he began trying to tell the time. "I have what I need!" Anuki said answering her question before he patted the hellhound next to him.
Audrey stayed back, avoiding getting into the kerfuffle between the other two. It was really just wasting their time, but if they got all that out now it would be less to deal with later. Once the two had finished their little argument Audrey decided to put herself back into the situation. "Well, glad to hear that..." She muttered glancing at Daisy. It seemed as though she may be the one to go causing problems during this little mission of sorts. "Let's refrain from fighting again shall we?" Audrey exclaimed with a broad, but oddly cold smile. "I mean the less we fight the sooner we are back to doing what we want to do right?" She offered tilting her head to the side, still smiling brightly. She thought that if she gave the idea of getting it done quickly the two wouldn't fight and she wouldn't have to intervene. Most importantly was still, of course, her getting back to relaxing.

"Fine, I guess you're right. Just make sure that he keeps his mangy mutt away from me," Daisy said with a pointed glance at Anuki's hellhound. "Anyway, we're going to have to walk to the nearest bus stop, according to Mr. D." She absentmindedly spoke, one hand in her backpack and pulling out a parchment map. "Let's see here..." Daisy scanned the map, tracing a trail from Camp Half-Blood to the closest metro station. "Ah-ha! Found it-- And it's ten miles away from here." She groaned and her shoulders slumped with disappointment. "I can't walk that far! I have delicate feet."
Anuki laughed and smiled. When he saw her cross her arms, Anuki took it as a win for him. After she said to keep the mutt away from her, Anuki whispered in Linus' ear. He didn't say anything, trying to keep the peace for now. After Daisy slumped, though, Anuki couldn't help it. "Well! Me and Audrey here can shadow travel on Linus!" Anuki said smiling and clicking his tongue at Audrey while he gave her gun fingers pointed at her. He would have invited Daisy but she wanted to stay away from Linus. Maybe they'll both get an apology out of her for this. Anuki wondered how it would be if he just went there himself. He figured none of them would want to shadow travel, bit hoped they would. It would shorten the time they were together.
Audrey sighed annoyed by the little jabs at one another. "You realize we are all supposed to stick together right?" She asked raising an eyebrow. "Either Daisy shadow travels or we take the bus." Audrey declared firmly. She didn't feel like having to deal with Mr.D complaining about the job not being done properly, his blathering would just be another annoyance for the day. "I mean, that is unless you would like to walk there, I could even make you both hold hands if you'd like..." She offered her voice strongly laced with dull sarcasm. She wanted to make sure everyone was on the same page, besides, if they split up they wouldn't know what was happening to one another.

OK do we have one oh yeah trails I'll post first.
Anuki crossed his arms and smiled knowing he won another one. Anuki with two points, and Daisy with zero, Anuki thought to himself. He hopped on Linus' back and looked at them. "Well in that case, let's get going!" Anuki said as he began fixing his hair. He looked at them both, sticking his tongue out when his eyes reached Daisy. He thought to himself how much fun he is going to have making her angry. He leaned forward, whispering in the hellhounds ear. When he came back up, he was giggling and smiling. He had a plan, and it may not make neither of the girls happy, but it'll make him happy.
