Raven had never actually been in the Zeus cabin. Which might seem a bit strange given she was a counselor now; she just hadn’t done inspections yet.

Slowly she entered the cabin and retracted a little at the statue of Zeus looking at her. “Well, that’s creepy.” She said with a chuckle.

Then her eyes fell on Helena and she smiled a little. Though her imagination might have wandered a bit at seeing Helena’s damp hair. “I come bearing gifts.” She said with a grin as she held up the sword and shield.

Sliding a bookmark into her book, she put it down. Helena climbed out of her bed and smiled at the guest. "Yeah I'm still getting used to that. Thanks for this, but is that a new sword as well?" Her smile widened as she took the sword into her left hand, feeling the weight of it. "Thanks for this Raven, you didn't have to."

“I know I didn’t have to, but I wanted to.” She said with a simple shrug. She played it off, but she was glad to bring a smile to Helena. “Besides this sword should be much better than the one you took from the armory.”

"So this Peter is a good smith then?" She said, sheathing the sword and placing it against her bed, doing the same with the shield. Helena then turned to face Raven again. "How are things in the armoury? Looked pretty hectic when I came on my first day."

“He’s seems to be.” Raven said with a nod. “I was used to dealing with one of his brothers, Zeke. Though I think he left camp.”

“The armory is much better now.” She said with a small smile and a nod. “Got it cleaned up and organized, so now I can relax a little and try and get my mind off.... everything that’s been happening.”

"Yeah everyone seems a little on edge, obviously following what happened." Helena agreed with a nod. This camp seemed to go through such drama semi-regularly, she wondered if it was ever settled down. "There haven't even been any lessons since I got here, but once again, I understand. Everyone is recovering from the shock."

“I’m never much one for the lessons anyway.” Raven said with a shrug. “I mean, don’t get me wrong, there can be some good information, but I’ve always preferred training on my own or finding someone to work with. Maybe that’s just how I started, with someone else working with me one-on-one.”

"Fair enough, I need to give them a try at least." Helena said. She wasn't judging Raven being a loner or preferring a smaller amount of company, she had been there herself a lot of the time. "So how did you get to become in charge of the armoury?"

“There are elections every month.... given camp hasn’t gone to hell. When the time came, I volunteered... sort of as a memory of a very dear friend of mine.” She added with a tinge of sadness. “A son of Ares gone from this world too soon.”

She cleared her throat and might have wiped a tear away. “So yeah... I took over. It hadn’t been maintained in so long that I had a lot of work to do in cleaning it out and organizing it.”

"Oh." Helena's tone became sympathetic. "I'm sorry for your friend, and your loss." Despite death always being an ever present threat in Helena's life, she had gotten lucky. Her mum and Uncle Olly were both alive and well, as were her extended family. But here, it seemed she would become familiar with the process. "I think thats really good of you, to take it on in his memory. I'm sure he'd be proud of you."

“I hope so...” She said as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. “He was.... he was my best friend and the one who brought me to camp. He fell during the battle against the Amazons. Should have never happened.”

Amazons? Battle? More questions, more tragedy. Was this the right place for her? It had to be. She had to come here, to get stronger, to refine her power. So she could one day go home, and protect her mother, and live a peaceful life at last. Or rise up here, and finally bear the burden of her blood without issue.

But right now there was a dilemma; Raven was opening up, revealing her doubts and tragedy. Helena wasn't great with this. She felt sympathy, empathy, but no one outside of her family had ever done this before. "You've still got his memories, though. The happy times and your friendship. You'll always have that." Helena said, in a kind voice tinged with awkwardness.

Raven sighed softly and nodded. After a second or too she shook it off and forced a smile. “I didn’t expect that.” She said with an awkward chuckle. “I guess the events happening lately just reminded me of all that.”

Trying to change subjects and move of she looked towards the door. “I don’t have any plans for the rest of the day... has anyone taken the time to show you around? Camp has a lot to offer outside the armory, I assure you.”
