Dextrin finished packing and shouldered her backpack. She held her arms open for the kitten. The black kitten blinked blue eyes and jumped into her arm. She purred and snuggled into Dextrin's arms. Dextrin sighed and set her back down, "Forgot something." She grabbed the dragon out of the flames and stuck it in her bag. She grabbed her sword and tied it around her waist. She grabbed the dagger from under her pillow and the one under her mattress. She sheathed them both and stuck them into the pockets of her jacket. She looked around, "Anything else?" Night pawed at the blankets until she pulled them back to reveal the sketchbook she'd had for months. Dextrin grabbed it and the pencils she had before sticking them in her bag. She remade her bed and sat down on it. "You know I might miss him but he hates me so he won't miss me." She said softly, talking about Havok.

"No ma'am!" Nate began to fiddle with something else hanging off his clothing, a loose bracelet with brown, carved beads. "Don't you realize? I'm fine! Couldn't be better, ma'am!" With the hand he isn't keeping occupied he gives her a weak thumbs up, but he doesn't loosen up, doesn't move. He doesn't have anywhere he wants to be in particular. "If I had a problem, ma'am its not like I would say. Soldiers don't complain....." he whispered the soldier saying to himself.

Sighing "Nathaniel soldiers are real people too, that means they can talk and think and just plain live! don't shut yourself away and hide from the world! jump in and live..I mean actually live! and please stop calling me ma'am!" I poke Nathaniel chest as I give him a small speech "lighten up Mr.Military i'm a solider too but you don see me at attention 24/7!"

"I have to be!" he snapped, Nate didn't want to stand there anymore and be told how to live his life, he was perfectly happy with it. "Go continue your singing and be with your 'boyfriend' and friends." he turned sharply and stomped back to the cabin grounds. He didn't need to have help, he didn't need to lighten up. The thing he liked best and was frankly content with was being alone. So again he ran to his bunk, grabbed a coke and sat out on the steps. "I need to run an extra mile tomorrow, get anything that happened today out of my head... maybe a couple sets of 50 push ups in between laps? Yeah? Yeah." Nate openly said that, he didn't care if somebody heard him.

"Gods how many times do I have to say i'm single and he's not my boyfriend for you to understand!" I yell after him before picking up my guitar and marching after him. I walk up to his cabin and shout through the door "stop running away and just face it! you say your a solider than prove it! you can't even look me in the eye and it just makes me mad! so don't just run from me! face me!" I stand at the door and tap my foot before sighing and responding kinder and quieter "I just want to help Nathaniel but your making it so hard to, you look like your hurting and...well...it..it just makes me wanna lighten up your day and give you a big hug to make it all better..I don't now how to explain it other than..well..um..I like you and you just intrigue me so much and I only just met you...for me.. that's saying something"

Nate sits there on his bed for a while, nobody's there so he can't imagine where they are. He finally pushes the door open and walks right up to her "Fine is this what you want? Huh?" he looks her over "No, I'm done....I've told you I don't need help so many times and YOU'RE the one who doesn't listen." shouting but not enough to wake up other people that might be sleeping. He backs up a couple steps to the door "I couldn't be better."

Skylar bounded down the steps of the Hermes cabin. "You might as well not even bother. He will lock himself in there and hide until you leave." She said as she walked away to the training grounds. She looked over the blades of her daggers silently before humming and putting them back.

Havok sighed as he walked back to his cabin. He didn't know what to think, what to say, how to feel about this whole thing with Izzy. He just had to get away, take some time to think... He was stopped dead in his tracks when he pushed open the cabin door to find Dextrin... Packing? "Where are you going?" He asked in an emotionless tone, but the sudden anxiety in his eyes was hard to miss.

Annabeth nodded. "Ah. Well, love is a crazy thing. So who am I to judge who you feel for?" She looked over at the water, smiling when her otters swam by. Her eyes drifted back to Izzy. "So, what did he do to make you do upset? Is he seeing someone else? Did he mock you or something when you told him you liked him?"

[Jasper :3]

Sighing "ok..ok..I won't bother you ever again..consider me a bad memory if you like" I walk off shouldering my guitar as I open the cellar door and walk down sadly, my shoulders and head held low I should just stop trying to talk to people...I just don't get along with people...I'm so stupid...
