The snow had stopped at the midday in Long Island. It had been replaced with a much warmer temperature, and many people were out and about taking advantage of the moment. A familiar figure had returned to the area, one that hadn't been to Camp in a long time.

"Our's is the fury. Fury burns." |
Andrew trekked back onto the thin gravel walk way at the camp. Puffs of thin mist appeared with every breath he released. As much as he would hate to admit it, the frost had begun to get to him through his thick flanel and jeans, but his boots kept them from dragging across the ground and getting wet. That would only prove a bigger inconvenience, and Andrew had not been having the best day for any more of those. His eyes flickered a brilliant blue, as if lightning had been bottled in them. Camp was a setting he missed. Perhaps the only place he felt at home. Time away had made him realise that, and he would do his best to appreciate the only home he's ever had from now on. His feet ached from hours of hiking. After a few nostalgic minutes returning to get some scraps of food from the Dining Pavilion, Andrew found himself a nice bench to rest his weary feet. | |||||||

"It is with youth as with plants; from the first fruits they bear we learn what may be expected in future." |
Benny walked back from the Dining Pavilion. Although he was wearing his favourite hoodie, he could still feel the cold on his breath. He slowly inhaled and exhaled, letting out faint wisps of smoke. They made him giggle a little. “Just like a dragon!” He thought. Christmas was coming, and he was excited to return home to his dad in Georgia. Normally, they’d have a quiet Christmas with the neighbours, but Ty was coming over with his dad. Humming cheerfully at the idea of seeing his boy-friend again, the son of Hebe saw Andrew sitting on the bench. He looked tired, and maybe a little bit lost. “Umm hai, are you okay? You look a bit lost?” Benny said, smiling cheerfully. | |||||||

He swallowed a bite he had taken before Benny had asked his question, and subsequently lowered the sandwich from his face. Andrew smiled shortly and shook his head. In the back of his mind he wondered what this child would be like as he grew older. Andrew's eyes flickered a dim grey, "No I'm not lost. I know my way around here very well. I'm just readjusting is all." Andrew's tone was different from usual. In conversation with more similarly aged peers, Andrew's voice was deeper, more gruff. Andrew only ever seemed soft when talking to children. He extended his hand in greeting to the boy, "I'm Andrew, it's nice to meet you." | |||||||

Benny: "I'm Benny. I'm Hebe's Lt, so it's my job to help people..." Benny said with a slight shrug of his shoulders. He scratched the side of his head awkwardly. "If you need anything, feel free to knock on my cabin door. I know it must be a bit weird to come back after a while. I felt like that after I spent summer with my boyfriend in Florida. It took a while to readjust." He sat down on the bench for a while, looking like he was thinking about something.
Andrew: Andrew took another small bite out of his sandwich. He was surprised to hear that someone that seemed so young just spent time away with their boyfriend, or that they even had their sexuality down yet, but this was diminished after he learned Benny was a child of Hebe. He mulled over this person's age and settled that he's probably around 13, maybe older. His eyes returned to their striking blue. Andrew was curious now though, and chose to think aloud, "So Benny... how old are you?" He still spoke to him like he was a child.
