"Thanks," Isabella said. Her voice was still a little weak with worry, but stronger. Alex had said exactly what she had need to hear, believe it or not. A random stranger that she had just met that morning. She smiled to herself, leaning against him for a couple of seconds before they reached the door. Her smile faded when she heard Ayumi's shock.
"Are you sure?" Cameron asked, noticing her pause. Without thinking, he put his hand on top of hers, unfurling it from the blanket. When Ayumi opened the door and came inside, he dropped it quickly and stood up. "I... We crashed," he said lamely. He ran a hand through his hair, wondering if they would blame him for not taking better care of Odori. "I'm sorry," he said miserably, to both Ayumi, the others entering, and Odori.

Alex was surprised when the girl leaned against him, though he allowed it for a few moments, before gently setting her apart from him and stepping inside the office. He spotted Odori on the bed with Cameron standing next to her. With his keen eyes he was able to spot the blush on her cheeks, also noticing the way that Cameron seemed just a tad too worried, especially just for friends. "Wow, dude, that wasn't very smooth! Though I doubt it was your fault."
Blushing as his hand covered hers, she couldn't help the warmth that spread through her at his worry and gentleness. However, the moment Ayumi and the others stepped into the room, she slipped her hand back to her side, another blush covering her cheeks. "It's not his fault," she said quickly when he apologized, sitting up in a hurry, but wincing when she became slightly dizzy from the movement. "I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing was all!"

Isabella followed the others into the office, wincing as she saw a bandage around Odori's head, and Cameron apologizing, with Odori contradicting it. She slipped in next to Ayumi and her frown deepened. "Where's the nurse?" she asked in a quiet voice, not really thinking she would be answered with all of the commotion. Shouldn't she be watching over her newest patient? She supposed not, on second thought, since Odori seemed to be alright, for the most part.
Cameron's cheeks turned hot with embarrassment as more people entered the room, and he turned away. Why had they had to come now? "It doesn't matter..." he said. "I should have been there to stop you." He ran his hand through his hair again in frustration, then looked up at the other campers. "I'm staying with her here tonight." His voice was firm, as if he was daring the others to tell him not to, though he knew that they wouldn't.

"Your parents sound awesome." She said smiling looking out into the water, "I never had a cell phone and didn't talk to my parents unless we were arguing so it didn't matter." She did miss her ipod but was slightly annoyed that loosing it had cost her ten stitches. Picking up her sketch book she took out a pencil turning the last page and started to sketch out the water. "Are all families that way?" Rain asked curious to the life she knew nothing about, "I mean I don't want to pry." she paused for a second, "Then again I guess its fair as long as I let you ask questions too." The last part was in a distracted tone as she started to work swiftly trying to capture the image before her. Sketching the waters around the chest and the part of the attic floor she had drawn turning it into more of an abstract on conceptual than the truth.

Ayumi felt sorry for Cameron. Obviously he was dealing with a lot guilt-wise, and they had kind of barged in. The worst part was, she'd been the first to intrude. She nodded in response to Cameron's sudden statement. She could understand why he would want to stay with her. "Take good care of her, okay? And don't blame yourself," she said. She glanced at Bella. "Maybe we should go," she said in quieter tones.
"It depends on the parents I guess," Henry answered, "and how the kids act, how many, etc." He leaned over to see Rain's drawing, his shoulder brushing hers without his notice. "This is interesting," he commented. "Is that your attic?" The water was definitely familiar from the river, but the chest and the bits of floor were something he'd never seen before. "Something from your imagination?"

Rain had been nodding when his shoulder brushed hers and she tensed pulling to the side some. Closing her eyes she took a deep breath forcing her muscles to relax. Looking at him apologetically Rain nodded, "It is both. I drew the first part before I left home. I didn't have much else to do but I don't think realism would suit it. I think the water would express more feelings." She hoped he had not noticed but doubted it, it hadn't exactly been a subtle response.

[[Sorry I didn't post earlier. x__o; ]]
Vic followed the others towards the main hall, with a worried look on his face. He heard that they would be going to the nurses office, which made his stomach turn quite violently. Following shakily behind them, he made it onto the building and walked into the room after them. He stood silently at the back, because he did not know these people yet, and he was feeling a little sick. He hated the smell of nurses offices or hospitals, and seeing all of the equipment made him a little worried. He began to shake a bit more as he leaned up against the wall, controlling himself.

((Please excuse me, I've only been able to get on a few minutes a day lately...))
She couldn't help but smile weakly at the other's worry. She was slightly embarrased by it, but she would never let anyone know that. "I'm sure I'll be fine by morning," she said quietly, "So you don'---" She broke off mid sentence when she realized there was another person she had yet to meet. He seemed rather pale, and standing behind the others, she wondered if maybe he should be the one lying down instead of her. "Um...are you alright?" she asked loudly, making sure he could hear her.
Smirking, Alex merely nodded his head in the affirmative, understanding why Cameron would like to stay. "Just don't over-do it," he said jokingly, "after-all, she is still injured." When Odori seemed to be looking at him, he frowned, wondering what she was thinking, before she spoke. Was who alright?? He looked at her in confusion, before turning to look at Vic. Surprised, he took a step towards the other boy, concern covering his overly-expressional face. "Dude, what's up with you?"

Cameron blushed slightly at Alex's remark and turned to Vic, who was being addressed. "Er... Sorry. I don't think I know you. Are you feeling alright?" he asked. Though he may have been more concerned about Odori, and he still stood beside her, the boy seemed to be quite pale. Had he come to the nurse with the others, or was he just sick to begin with? Alex seemed to be rather friendly with him though.
"Hm... Maybe we do need the nurse after all," Isabella mumbled, looking at the pale Vic. Though she was still concerned about Odori, he didn't exactly look like the most healthy person in the room. "Scared of needles or something?" she asked, eying the ones that were laying on a table near Odori.

Feeling sick, he shook his head. Taking his weight off of the wall, he blinked quickly, trying to make his head rush go away. Looking at Isabella as she spoke, he followed her gaze to the needles. Shaking his head violently, his stomach practically flipped over. "N-no, no, not needles. . . I'll be back, I'm really sorry" He told them quickly as he rushed out of the room and went outside. Breathing in the deep fresh air, he closed his eyes and rested against the building, still shaking slightly.

Henry was surprised when Rain tugged away from him somewhat sharply. "I'm sorry Rain, that was stupid of me," he said, scooting a few inches away. "I wasn't paying attention." He leaned his head back against the tree, and noticed a loop of rope around a branch. Just a loop. There was no other rope attatched, and it seemed to have no purpose. Why was it there?
Ayumi was startled as Vic suddenly flew from the room. She threw an apologetic glance at Isabella and Alex before she ran out after him. The sky was just beginning to tinge yellow - it was almost dinner time. Or technically, barbeque time. She slowed slightly until she caught up with Vic, though remaining at a slight distance in case her company wasn't wanted. "Hey, I know you're probably sick of hearing this by now, but are you alright?" she asked.

Looking up from her work at his reaction she blushed, "No, I am sorry it's just-" Rain let her sentence hang not sure what to say. How did you explain to someone? How did you casually tell them the only time you had ever been touched in your life was when you were being hit? Shaking her head she sighed as she looked at the ground. Hoping she had at least regained the appearance of being calm she looked over to him before looking up for whatever had caught his attention, "Watcha looking at?" she asked curiously scanning the tree before turning her attention back to him.

Vic opened his eyes slowly and took his head off of the wall he was leaning on. Smiling shakily, he nodded a little. " Ah, yeah. . . I should be fine in a bit. I just.. really don't like medical..things.." He told her a little nervously as he took his body off of the wall. The fresh air was getting to his head, and making him feel a bit better. He looked at her apologetically- he didn't want to have her worried, when the people inside were needed to be worried about much more than himself.

Alex sent an apologetic look at them as well, before following after Ayumi. He watched silently, though he was partially wondering if maybe he should be the one on the bed in there instead of Odori. When he said that he didn't like medical things, Alex couldnt help the small grin that lifted his lips. "Well then, why don't we grab Isabelle and get out of here. I'm sure we can find something to do."
Her cheeks lit up at Alex's comment and Odori was sorely tempted to yell at him. She didn't however, when she thought more clearly about the situtation. She supposed that it could look like that, considering how close they had been. Sighing, she watched as Vic left the room, focusing her thoughts on him again. "Do you think he's alright?" she asked Cameron, looking up at him.

Isabella followed the others out, waving quickly to Cameron and Odori, leaving them alone in the room again. She came in time to catch the ends of Vic's explanation. "Yeah," she added, coming up behind Alex as he spoke her name. "Odori seems to be fine. I'm sure she'd rather it be less people anyways." She waved her hand dismissively at the building. They didn't need two people lying on a hospital bed, although Vic was already gaining color back into his face.
Cameron ran a hand through his hair again as he watched Alex and the others leave, finally. It had been rather... uncomfortable with them all there, and many of Alex's comments weren't exactly... helpful. With a small sigh, he sat in the chair by the window again. "I think so," he said, looking down at her. "He probably just ate something bad for him or something." He looked out the door for a second, left open by the others. Lifting himself onto his feet, he went to close it with slightly more force than was needed.
