El whistled, long and low. "That is one heck of a board. And you say this is from your dad?" she asked, slowly pacing around the surf board, examining it from all sides with a sharp eye. Turning to Bella, she said, "Dad... well, the vicar and I used to go sit by the ocean when we lived in San Diego; we'd sit there and watch all the surfers ride the waves and fall off. More of the latter, but who cares. They looked so light and free, just standing there, riding the waves." She smiled softly. "I wonder who the heck they are! I've wondered my whole life, and I guess that when I came here I thought that they might... you know, take notice. Monsters certainly have." Shaking her head at the memories, she glanced at Bella. "Sorry. I'll get off the topic now." she said ruefully. "D'you want to go see the different people around the camp? I heard some newbies enter in. Or we could go tease some Aphros. That's always fun."
((That's okay Rosia, same here XD Just now I finished studying French for tomorrow's exam...))
Bella laughed heartily. It felt good not to need to be... tough, even if she wouldn't admit that to anyone, not even herself. "I know it's strange, I'm not a daughter of Poseidon and I love surfing." she shrugged. "My dad doesn't bother with that. And if anyone has a complaint, I show them how much of an Ares daughter I am!" she said, smiling simpathetically.
"D'you want to go see the different people around the camp? I heard some newbies enter in. Or we could go tease some Aphros. That's always fun.""All good ideas. I haven't been much around with other campers... they don't seem to miss me all the same. But it'd surely do me some good to hang out a little" Bella snickered. Gods, she did miss a fun hangout with friends.
