halfbloodhill | [IM/Action] 01 Raindrop

[Aqua has seen better days, and she acknowledges this, but that's what happens when you're a demigod. Finally reaching the Greek camp is actually something of a relief to her for three very important things. One: it's safety, and she can use a rest. Two: the Third Cohort should be gathering here, and she's been worried sick about them. Three: Ven's here, and she's been mostly worried about him.

So, here she is, using a strange Greek method of communication. This has got to be the strangest thing. Talking through a rainbow. Jupiter's coattails this had better not be a prank.]

Greetings. I'm Aqua Elwyn, daughter of Neptune and Centurion of the Third Cohort. I was told that I would be in Cabin Three?

[Aqua hopes that she isn't the only child of Neptune who has reached camp. Otherwise, it's going to be pretty lonely in there.]

I would like to extend my apologies to my cohort and to both praetors for how long it took me to get here, but I wished to help with the...evacuation. And I had some personal affairs to sort out.

[Though by "personal affairs" she means lying to her parents, but what choice did she have?]

Third Cohort, I hope you've been well in my absence. I'd ask for a report, but.... [She smiles a little sheepishly.] This might not be the time for it. I'll be more than happy to know that all of you are okay.

[Jason looks really pleased to see the familiar face in the rainbow.]

Aqua! It's really good to see you. Don't worry too much about taking so long, there are still several members of the legion who haven't come to camp yet and are working on other things.

We can meet later in person to discuss any official matters. Focus on settling in first, okay.

[She straightens a bit when Jason contacts her and nods.]

Okay. Er, I would like to ask, Praetor, how well the Legion is doing?

[Aqua frowns.]

Being away for so long has left me out of the loop. I'd like to be prepared on whatever the current situation is.

[Jason looks like he's thinking for a moment and then responds.] It's...probably not the best news. There are currently 16 members of the Legion here and at least one representative for each Cohort. Both praetors are here and there are now three centurions with you here. We've settled into camp fairly well. Though I will be honest there have been some incidents lately between some of our own that concern me. We're...surviving, is really the only way to put it.

[He pauses and the figures that Aqua should hear about her cohort.]

Callie is one of the ones we've had trouble with and we're currently keeping an eye on her and one of our newer legionaries who seem to have a very serious disagreement between them. She's been...avoiding pretty much everyone lately. Ven and Heather have both been trying to fill your shoes I think and they've been doing a good job of it, all things considered. I'd suggest giving them some recognition within the cohort. And Minako only got here a few weeks before you did, she's the most recent of your cohort to arrive. Otherwise, I think Ven and Heather can fill you in well enough.

[Aqua is quiet as she listens to the briefing. She's sad at the news about Callie, but not surprised. There's definitely a flash of pride at the mention of Ven and Heather stepping in.]

I see. I'll help in any way I can, though I think I need to focus on my cohort for the time being. With permission, I would like to take Ven and Heather out somewhere in repayment.

[The daughter of Neptune pauses for a moment.]

As for Callie, I apologize if she has caused trouble for you and Reyna, but I must respect the choices she makes. I hope you understand.

I understand. Do what you think is best, although I would speak to Chiron before taking any trips out of camp.

[Jason shakes his head.]

It wasn't a problem for Reyna and I...just a concern. We've spoken to her about it anyway.

I'll bring it up with him a little later, then.

[She sighs softly.]

I apologize that you had to, but thank you for talking to her.

Don't worry about it, we were just doing our duty.

I would thank Reyna though, she did more of the talking to Callie.

I think Callie is more comfortable with Reyna. No offense meant, but that's what I've observed.

None taken. I would say the same.
