Who: Serena & Ravyn Where: Mess Hall When: Almost the end of Lunch time, 8th day  Serena had taken up a tray of whatever Chef had made for the campers... and glanced around looking for Ravyn. The way she looked, well she was just a mess. Tears had streamed down her face again however she didn't get a chance to wipe these away. She looked lost and broken as she searched for him. Did he wait for her this long?

 Ravyn was indeed waiting for her there. He was snoring at a seat though, as he hadn't gotten much sleep while he waited. While he was asleep he was subjected to various tricks by the other campers, though there wasn't many that he would sleep through.
Eventually someone pulled a trick on the sleeping camper that he couldn't sleep through, and Ravyn jolted out of his seat. Growling at whoever did it, he stood up. He was enough to intimidate the younger campers, though males over 15 were far larger than him and he had to back off.
It took him a moment to realize that Serena had come out of the assembly line for their food. "Serena?" He asked, thinking it was her. The female was looking rather upset and broken when Ravyn had spotted her. Quickly he walked over to her, taking the trays. "What happened?" Concern coated his voice, another new emotion, but he didn't care about that right now, he was more worried about Serena. She was clearly upset.

Although she smiled, it was not one of happiness as she looked at Ravyn. "I went to Chef and he told me the brownies should have been enough, as well as confronting him and saying sorry. I did it.. and.." Now tears ran down her face as her smile slowly cracked away to a frown. "...he wouldn't accept my apology..." She was sniffling now, trying to hold back from crying. She was shaking again as she looked up at Ravyn, tears flowing and her voice holding her sobs, "He asked why he should forgive me, and I had no answer, Ravyn. Because I wouldn't forgive me either." Annddd then she cried.

Well if he wasn't used to the waterworks by now he probably would never be used to it. But crying was a part of life when it came to girls, so he set the trays down and wrapped his arms around her. "I am sorry Serena." He had a feeling that Chris wasn't going to forgive the female easily any time soon if at all. She made him brownies? That had to be nice. Stupid host. "You may have made a grown man cry, but it is nothing you should not forgive yourself over Serena." He was trying to comfort her, but that didn't mean he was any good at it. Ravyn gently rubbed her back, words failing him at the moment.

Serena sniffled, trying to choke back her tears as she hugged Ravyn. She had not cried NEARLY this much at home. She was not a girl who really was easily upset like this. It was amazing the way that host brought out the worst in her. Of course, she would never blame anyone else for her own emotions. She looked at Ravyn, and sniffled once more, tears stopping. He was comfort to her since she was trusting him more and more as time was going on. "I never want to hurt anyone like that. And I think it was really bad because he's so scared of his chest, so it was his worst fear." At least this is what she had come to determine after what he had said the first time.

Ravyn was still holding her. "Everything will work out Serena. If you do not want to hurt anyone then just be concious of your actions." He suggested, he had done the same the last time she had come crying on his shoulder. "Let us sit Serena, you need to calm down still." He was concerned, but how could he not be? His best, and only, friend was horribly upset. Even if it was what had brought them together in the first place/

The blue haired camper just nodded, and sat where he had been sitting. She looked at him, looking sad, but no longer crying or sniffling. "I'm sorry Ravyn. I normally don't cry so much. But honestly, I don't hurt people either. This place these challenges, its all really different." She looked at the table. "And I'm really sorry Ravyn, but I gave up making food. My brownies didn't bring any happiness, so what's the point of trying anymore?" It was the brownies' main purpose.

He sat next to her, arm around her waist. "I do not mind Serena. Though you seem like a good cook. Why give up cooking over one incident?" Ravyn asked, looking at her seriously. It would be a shame if she gave up something she was good at simply because Chris didn't want brownies. "The point of trying is to get better. I do not give up some of the things I am good at because one person is upset with me." That was true, he didn't give up cutting his skin open, nor any of the other bad habits he had. Though he was used to more than one person being upset with him at a time.

Serena rested her head on his shoulder and looked at the table. "It doesn't matter what my skill level is. What's the point of baking or making things when I've done something so terrible that not even my baking will help to ease?" She glanced up at him. "I did something that is against everything I have ever believed in, and I can't even fix it. I don't have it in me anymore to bake." She had been hurt by her own actions. "I won't sleep at my cabin anymore. I might get my things though in the morning to change, and shower but I know since Chris thinks so little of me, and hates me right now, he'll probably do something awful to me in my sleep. I can't risk that to my team. In fact," she looked at him sadly, "Its even dangerous for you to stay with me at night now."

He shook his head. "Do not stop doing something you are good at just because you did one deed that another party cannot forgive. Eventually it will ease and he will not be so angry." Ravyn was rubbing her arm softly. He didn't seem good at reassuring anyone on anything. "The shack is always open to you Serena." He murmured, looking at her. "I will take my chances. You cannot isolate yourself like that, that is not a lifestyle suited for you." As it was turning out, it wasn't suited for him anymore either. That was still a new sensation, someone actually liking him. "besides, if Chris does something to you in your sleep it would be far easier to handle if someone else was there with you. Two people to share the shame rather than just one."

Her eyes closed, "My baking, and cooking are an expression of my happiness. How could I possibly be happy knowing what I did?" It was the onyl expression she really had to her. She didn't draw, or play music. She didn't sing well. There wasn't much to her, really, that made her stand out beyond her baking. She smiled at him. "Thank you for giving me a place to go." She was grateful to him, and besides that smile was the first all day. She didn't understand what he meant by not suited to her. Afterall, she might have been very friendly, but she hardly spent time with the other campers. However, she blinked at his last sentence. "Would you really want to go through something you didn't have to for me?"

"Everyone makes mistakes." He had been told this many times, this was the first time it felt like it wasn't really preaching to the choir as they called it. "If you are that determined to give up baking, then take up a new hobby. Something just as productive." He offered, his new hobby happened to be cutting in a less visible place....
"He gave my cabin a 'bath' to get rid of the skunk smell. I think I can handle whatever he does to you." Ravyn laughed darkly, he couldn't think of many things Chris could do as a prank that would be worse than the perfume he had used on the entire cabin. "Try making him cookies for breakfast next time?"

Serena gave a small nod to that statement. She knew it was true and she had made mistakes before. "I just can't believe he is scared of his own chest. Is that normal for guys, Ravyn?" She looked up at him curiously. It was true, she really had come to believe he was scared of it. "Its not that I'm determined.. its more like.. I just don't have the heart for it now. If I tried, it would come out tasting just like I feel: icky." Serena looked at the ground. "A new.. hobby? I don't think I'm much good at anything else." She had very little confidence in herself when it came to talent. Hearing his words she looked at him, "A bath? What did he bathe your cabin in?" Serena buried her face in his shoulder, trying to hide. A muffled voice came through. "I don't think he wants to see me anymore, even if I had baked goods."

He shook his head. "No, he probably has a very embarrassing tattoo or something." Ravyn suggested, "I would lift my own shirt if my arms would not be revealed." He meant this to prove a point. Though he didn't want to show her his arms right now, there were still some rather fresh wounds from this morning...
"Then do not say you are going to stop cooking. It would not be wise to do that." Ravyn tapped her nose gently. "So learn to do something else you enjoy. Do it better if you do not wish to bake anymore." That was always a good option. "Just because you are not any good at it does not mean you cannot enjoy it." The grey male offered, looking at her.
"It was a rather nasty perfume. I cannot say what he put in it for sure, but it was more overpowering than the skunk smell." He was still cursing Chris for that one. The bugger probably had some of that vial liquid left too. "Cookies for breakfast are always a good way to a person's heart. Or at least quiet side so they would listen.."
