"Go on." Silver urged him.

"Is it okay to ask about your past? If you're uncomfortable you don't have to but you just say something like that and..." John blushed and bit his lip.
Silver smiled gently. "Go on. If I wish not to answer one, I'll say skip. Kay?"
"Okay. And you can ask about me too if you want to..." He took a deep breath. "So, what's your family like? Do you have any siblings?"
Silver thought carefully for a moment. "Before I answer that, do you like it when answers are sugarcoated? Because my family history isn't exactly pleasant to one's ears."
"How about you tell me the bad part first and then tell me about the good stuff you remember before that." kind of like a this bad thing happened but this is the way I want to remember them thing. But he could never say that out loud because that was Grace's way of thinking.
Silver tilted her head, looking at him curiously. "I have no siblings, none. My parents are bother buried in St. Perpetua's Graveyard. My uncle and cousin are both in prison for first degree murders and my aunt is dead. The only good thing about it was that my parents were the best people you would ever meet."
John took a minute to process all that before stupidly dead panning, "That was unexpected." He really hated how easy it was for him to blush and how his mouth sometimes spoke without him thinking, but he felt like "I'm sorry," would sound like pity but that's all he knew to say.
Silver gave a sad laugh. "I know. I know." She said with a kind smile. "Death always is." Silver thought a moment. "Thank you for not saying sorry. I hear that too often." She added with another sad laugh. "Next question?"
"How did you find out you were a demigod?"
Silver smiled. "Well, I became suspicious when monsters kept attacking me and then we were led here. I found out who I was when I was claimed." She answered.
"Cool. I only got attacked once before I found out and came here."
((Hi Gaby!))"Lucky." Silver muttered.
"Hey, I was living on a mountain away from all civilization and there were mountain lions that would literally eat a cyclops no problem."
Silver laughed. "That's sweet. It sounds like a place I would like to live."
"If it was just you maybe...I got to deal with all my nieces and nephews and brothers in law..."
((Silver's is Athena))"Are they nice?" Silver asked softly.
((John's is Iris)) "They would legally adopt you if you visited." John deadpanned. "Like, actually adopt you. Not everyone lives at the house, but they visit a lot when they aren't at school or you know, their own houses."
Silver smiled lopsidedly. "Sounds like a nice family." She said, feeling a stab of jealousy. "Do you like it there?"
"Yeah. But you don't ever get your own space you know? Everyone knows everything, which is okay most of the time. And everyone's periods always sync up. That parts the worst, because it's just five immensely cranky people who are all craving different flavors of ice cream."
Silver couldn't help but laugh. "Sorry but that's precious." She laughed. It took her a minute to stop laughing. "Sorry, sorry, sorry...."((XD))
"You think it's funny now..." But he was smiling, silently laughing with her.
Silver smiled widely. "Sounds a lot better than my family."
"You said your parents were the best though."
Silver nodded sadly. "They were. But I only knew them for seven years."
"I don't remember my parents." John whispered, trying not to say he had it worse but to show his life wasn't perfect either.
Silver paused. "I am sorry to hear that but I am aware that does not help."
John flinched. People weren't his strong suit, no matter how extroverted he was.
Silver noticed but did say a word. "But, anyways, you have a nice family."
Silver looked over the field, silent.((I don't know. sorry.))
"I think we're done if you have something to go do." He hated how that might have sounded harsh, but the silence was awkward and he didn't know what to say.
"I don't. You?" Silver asked with a gentle smile.
John smiled back, feeling much better.
Silver sat down on the dirt with a relaxed sigh.
John sat down next to her, rolling his neck to let it crack a few times before relaxing again. "Who knew a camp with a lava wall and a sword fighting arena could be so relaxing?"
