Welcome to Gaia! ::

Clear jumped, sneezing and then sniffing. The look on her face was priceless, saying that she hadn't even felt it coming. She was now sitting right on the edge, so with one move, she was further back on the dock. New pain bolted up her side and through her arm, the ambrosia and necter didn't do much.

"Someone's talking about you, or maybe...thinking?" Kaci said daringly, the glare from Clear was her signal. Jumping up, Kaci grabbed her sandles and disappeared into the Demeter cabin.

Scratching the back of her head, Clear sighed heavily. Her dark green eyes slowly began to lighten, the pain in her arm and side finally beginning to sub-side. guess it took a bit to set in... Groaning, Clear layed back on the dock, trying not to destroy her arm or side in the process.

Clear drew in a quick and shocked breath, eeping slightly when she noticed Dain. Calming down, she found her voice, "H-hi, Dain." Her eyes were a grass green with shock, they looked right into Dain's dark grey eyes.

Clear sat up, tugging her dark brown hair down from being messy. She sat up too fast, pain shot up her side and she groaned. "It's a rareity. I am surprised we don't see each other more often, I mean, our cabins are right next to each other." And they were.

"Golden bulls." Clear stated simply, her explanation simple enough. "Border patrol. Add the two. Doesn't end well for even Demeter kids." She forced a smile, in hopes the pain would fade again.

"No, see, pain tolerance is easy when it's a constant thing, but if it's something sudden and unexpected I'm unprepared. When I head to the Big House to be bandaged up, it's bad. Like now." Clear pointed to the chunk of her side missing and her shattered wrist. Both were pretty well healed, thanks to her godly powers and the ambrosia.

"Probably, but I can't grow things like that without causing myself stress. I mainly only grow passion vines, they're strong, they're stubborn, and they're easily fast growing for me. Besides, I don't grow too many plants..." Clear slapped herself lightly across the cheek, "Sorry, I talk too much. Plainly, no, I really can't."

Clear laughed, "I figured they'd be wise enough to button their own lips. Demeter kids don't talk to each other, we don't test one another's tempers." That reminded her of her own temper, she could destroy an entire colloseum full of monsters of all kinds when only slightly angered, imagine what her response was after Thalia returned to them. Or after it took twelve years for Demeter to slightly recognize her. Or when the kids at her private school so many years ago burned down her house because she was ADHD and dislexic. Wise people don't anger anyone who has control over mother nature, angering mother nature herself is a very dumb mistake. Memories flooded her like a typhoon on Miami Beach, anger quickly swelled and the plants around started to act a bit violent. Trees started to reject nymphs, vines grabbed at passer-bys, and the shrubbery shook out the archnids hiding within. A large brown house spider landed near Clear and Dain, its dark brown eyes moved to Dain and seemed furois at him.

((To help with this event, remember that Arachne challenged Athena to a weaving contest, lost, was turned to a spider, and has been the bitter mother of all spiders? Most Athena children run at the sight of spiders, others are frozen still. All in all, just be known that a spider is something that an Athena child has a fear of.))
