((Sorry, I wasn't quite sure.))
"Sorry to hear that. You're probably going to hate me, but I chose to run away from my father. I couldn't stand the way he looked at me all the time. It was always . . . He always looked so sad, or even angry, so I ran away and lived on the streets." Celer said. He wondered how Alice would react to hearing this, when her own mother abandoned her.

Near walked into the cabin and sat on a random bed. He sighed and laid back, staring blankly at whatever was in front of him.

Alice shook her head simply, stray hairs that had not been taken into her braids slightly flying around her face. "People choose their own paths in life and there is no way to stop someone from walking their way or treading on their path. You were meant to leave, so you did. Your father was meant to let you go, so he did. If you ask me, you turned out pretty okay." she replied, a soft smile on her face. In a strange way, Alice and Celer's stories were very much alike. Celer left his father, Alice's mother left her. They both arrived at Camp Half-Blood with someone who wanted to make sure they stayed safe. Alice smiled. 'We are more alike than we both know.' she thought.
Seeing that the other girl had stopped speaking, Axel silently made her way to her. "Hi." she said softly.

Celer nodded, and looked up as the other girl greeted them. "Hey, I'm Celer, and this Aurelia. Nice to meet you."
"Hello, what's your name?" Aurelia greeted. She didn't even have to look to see that Celer was smiling. She already knew that he was impressed that she took the initiative to talk to somebody new.

Alice saw the new girl come over. She liked Axel's hair. "I'm Alice." she said softly.
Axel looked up at the boy, then at the girl she originally spoke with, and then finally at the silver haired girl. "Axel Belladonna Drennings at your service. It's a pleasure to meet you as well, Alice, Celer, Aurelia." she replied polietly.

"Well, if we're doing full names, I'm Celer Moretti. Welcome to the cabin." Celer smiled.
"I'm Aurelia Beldivere. I hope you make yourself at much as home as you can. The centaur that greeted us said that we'll be staying here until we were properly claimed." Aurelia said.

Axel nodded simply and clapsed her hands behind her back. She rocked on her heels gently. She looked from Celer to Aurelia to Alice once more. Alice had pretty hair, Celer had a nice smile, and in her opinoin, Aurelia was all around beautiful. But of course Axel said nothing. She licked her lips absentmindedly, a half smile still on her face. "Sorry for so rudely interrupting. I just really needed someone to talk to."

"That's alright, we were just talking about what we did before we got to this camp." Aurelia explained. It almost shocked her how willing she was to speak to Axel, but then again, she didin't mind. She seemed friendly enough.
"Yeah, Aurelia and I got dropped off here, which I suppose isn't as bad as some other people." Celer added to Aurelia's explanation.

Axel nodded. "I was dropped off as well. I almost died for the fourth time because of my mother's spaztic driving...." Axel said, her voice trailing into nothing. She hadn't nessecarily told the people about her dying three times and cheating death each of the three times. She grinned to herself and closed her eyes. When she blinked them open, they were olive. She was feeling neutral, but with another blink, they were back to smokey grey.

Celer blinked in shock, feeling Aurelia stiffen beside him. Axel's eyes had just changed colors!
"That . . . Was . . . That was . . . Awesome!" he exclaimed breathlessly. Beside him he heard Aurelia laughing, and he knew she was laughing at him, but he didn't care much. "How'd you do that?" he asked eagerly.
Aurelia pressed her face against Celer's arm to stop herself from laughing loudly. He acted so childishly some times.

Axel jumped slighlty when Celer had bursted out about her eyes. She smiled widely and blushed before putting a hand up to her eyes. She closed her right eye and rested a fingertip across it. "I've always been able to do it. They change to olive when I'm in a neutral or really good mood and when I'm angry or annoyed they turn crimson. Smokey grey is everything in between and was also the color I was born into. Watch this." Axel said, her smile turning into a Cheshire grin. She opened her right eye, and it opened up olive, her other eye still grey. She couldn't really do this often unless her emotions were mixed. But slowly, her other eye turned olive as her mood was lightened by Celer's childishness.

"That's pretty cool! Oh, here, since you showed me a little of what you could do, I'll give you a sample of mine." Celer said. From his pocket he pulled out a small piece of paper and a fountain pen. Quickly he wrote out the word "butterfly" onto it, and pressed the paper against his lips. He whispered the word in Greek, and held it out toward Axel.
From the paper, an elegant butterfly came to life, and fluttered onto her shoulder. Its wings changed color to match her eyes, which he knew was work of Aurelia. He looked at her and she smiled. She'd used the sound of his voice to alter the genetic structure of the butterfly to make it's wings olive.

Axel looked at the butterfly breathlessly. "It's beautiful." she murmured softly. Axel was suddenly grateful for the fact that she had such short hair. If she had longer hair, it might have disturbed the butterfly. Nothing short of butterfly. She turned towards Celer. "That is nothing short of amazing! Compared to you, my eyes are parlor tricks. Have you been claimed?" she asked curiosly.

"Well, no, I haven't. Plus, I don't think it's anything that special. If anything, I'll probably be the son of a Muse. I don't know of a God who really can do anything like me. You'd probably get, like, Posiedon or something." Celer said. "Aurelia hasn't been claimed either. She's the one who made that butterfly's wings change color. And you don't have to worry about it flying off, it's a gift, so it stays with you kind of like a pet."
"I tampered with it a bit too. So, once you discover your full power and become claimed, the butterfly will grow powers that compliment yours." Aurelia added.

Near got up from the bed and stretched. He started making fire in his hands and repeating after the fire went out. He the walked by the group of people as he made the fire and walked outside. He just looked around and leaned on the wall.
