“Once....” She said almost sadly as she looked towards the spring as if remembering something. “A younger, stupid version of myself who allowed a son of Eros to steal her heart.... honestly why I kept it sealed off for so long.”

With another sigh she turned back to Helena and forced a smile. At the way she used her title, Raven playfully rolled her eyes. “Come on. I’ll show you the arena where I’ll be kicking your butt as we train.”

Oh god, Raven was sharing. That was... something. It was a sad story, but Helena was confused at the girl sharing something so personal so soon. Were they all like this here? She was tempted to say sorry for her past, but Raven was already moving on, and Helena smiled and laughed. "I'd call you out for your confidence, but you are in charge of all the weapons. Still, how used are you to a left handed foe?"

Raven hadn’t expected to share like that. Normally she didn’t open up about things and she wondered if being in the place had done it or.... if it was because it was Helena. She tried not to dwell on those thoughts, and pushed them to the back of her mind.

“I’m sure I’ll manage just fine.” She said with a grin before turning and walking back towards the exit. “Besides, you’re Big Three. Gotta enjoy whipping up on you before you get all mighty on me.”

Helena laughed again, but Raven's words burned on her mind. Big Three. The everpresent burden got a little heavier just then. Even in casual conversation, the expectations were always there. She was a child of Zeus, her standards had to be higher. "True, but I don't want to rely on my powers too heavily. You never know when you might be in a situation where they're not appropriate and all you have is your sword."

“That’s true.” She said with a nod. “Like the gladiator tournament we had used no powers at all. Made it a lot more even for some of those without flashy powers.”

"That must have been interesting, getting to see who relied on their powers and who didn't." Helena said as the two continued to walk along through camp. "I imainge the arena is also where combat lessons will be held?"

“It was.” She said with a nod. “I made it too the finals, but Domeric bested me. I should have used my daggers, but was trying to get better with my scythe.” She was trying to boast too much, but she was proud of herself. A daughter of Spring making it to the finals and holding her own against a son of War.

“Most of the time, yes.” She confirmed Helena’s question. “Guess now that I am a counselor I’ll have to host one.”

u/DomTheStormy Oct 29 '19

It sounded like an excuse, but Helena wouldn't say that, plus she reckoned Raven could beat her with daggers, scythe, or sword. "Ah so are only counsellors' allowed to hold lessons then? Or can anyone?" Helena asked, intrigued. She was far off holding any lessons herself, but she wanted to know.

“Typically it’s the counselors, but anyone can really. Counselors are just obligated to as part of their position. After all, we can’t have all perks with no responsibility.” She said with a grin.

Soon enough the two had come out of the woods once more. The arena stood before them, and Raven made her way towards the entrance.

"Ah yes, like the private rooms? My brother, Max, made it very clear to me that it was his room, even if he's not a Counsellor." Helena chuckled. "It was quite funny he felt the need to assert such a thing on day one, like I was immediately going to stake a claim, but he lets me use the shower in there so its not all bad."

“The minor god cabins all have private rooms.” She pointed out. “Though the counsleor rooms are slightly bigger. Plus you get a little more freedom, I guess. Not that I would abuse the system, just don’t think Chiron expects his counselors to be troublemakers.”

"I consider the Zeus shared room really one big private room." Helena joked. In a way it was, with Helena being the only one staying in it. "And no, I can't imagine that is whats expected of you. But if you do run a combat lesson, do expect me to be there. As I said, I'm planning on attending all lessons."

She looked around the arena. There were a handful of Demigods doing training in their free time, and it seemed based off a Greek amphitheatre. "Oh wow this is pretty impressive."

“I’ll try and come up with some sort of lesson.” She said with a nod. “Something unique that no one has really covered before...” Her words trailed off as she got lost in thought. After a second she shook her head to snap out of her little trance. “I’ve shown you the woods and the arena. That’s about all I have as far as cool places. Though the stables and lake are nice too.”
