Melody had also been attending camp but due to all the drama lately, had been keeping a low profile as much as possible. The puncture in her abdomen had been carefully stitched shut and she has since had the stitches out. No notable scar, and she had both Lawrence and Whisper to thank for that.
She was distracting herself today by gathering up fallen branches and twigs nearby camp and quickly took to humming an up beat tune while she worked.

Kai was given the job of removing some old, rotting wood that had been set beside a equipment shed near one of the cabins and to relocate it to a bonfire pile that would be lit later that evening. He was given gloves that were too small which he just gave back and set about grabbing boards and walking through the camp to the side where a ring of stones marked where the bonfire he was creating would placed.
Caring a few and trying to be mindful of splinters, he noticed a schoolgirl humming as the picked up branches. He didn't know the tune though but for all he knew it could be a recent song. Being frozen was still weird to think about.
"Sup." He said as he made eyecontact with her and dumped the boards in the circle.

Frozen was an accurate thought, as that is the exact movie she'd taken the tune from. She seemed startled by Kai's presence and accidentally fumbled a couple sticks from the small bundle she was carrying. She flashed him an apologetic look. "O-oh hi."
"Sorry. Um, shoot." She crouched down (because Melody and skirts/dresses never take a vacation) to try and pick her sticks up again.

He went over to pick up a few sticks and offered them to her. "Nah, you are good little hunny. I'm sorry for spookin you. You a bit dolled up to be collecting fire wood."" She looked ready for a tea party rather than being out in the woods.

Melody accepted the sticks from him with a lopsided smile. "Uh-um thank you." She turned away to walk the last few steps to add the sticks to the bonfire pile. She swat her dress and then brushed her hands together before returning to Kai. She offered him her proper attention this time.
"This is just sort of how I dress. I'd feel naked dressing any..." She shuddered at the thought of wearing trousers. "...less."

"I got it. Suffering for your style." Though he would think something more form fitting would be better, but it didn't look bad either.
"They got me getting old wood. You here getting sticks?"
He offered his hand. "Kai. What's your name?"

Melody smiled, "yes, they have me gathering kindling for the bonfire tonight."
She held her hand out to Kai, palm down, a gesture usually only seen in old movies or grand dinner parties. Not at a camp. "Melody Bell, a pleasure to meet you Kai."

"Daammmn. That's a name. Gotta ring to it." He joked.
"Kai Conway." He decided to add on. "You been here long? Like, this place not just the camp we all got here to."
The hand placed out daintily was one he took into his to shake.

Melody seemed surprised as her hand was shaken, genuinely not expecting it, and quickly but carefully took her hand back. She was more startled than upset, and immediately felt guilty. "Sorry I- I'm not used to that."
"That is a terrible pun, for the record." She offered a wry smile, hoping to change the subject. "And a year. About."

"Uh..." He stared at his hand. "..too manly?" He assumed at a handshake. Did she want him to bow, because that wasn't going to happen.
"Oh, that is a while. I just got here."

Melody shook her head at Kai, just hoping to let it go for now. Just... got here? OH. Melody blinked at him then smiled. Her voice was a hushed whisper as she asked, "new to the... hunter inclination?"

He had to lean in to get to her level before he whispered back. "Yeah."
Then he paused before asking "Why are we whispering?"

She looked around warily before returning her voice to normal. "Because, I don't think everyone here like... knows, or is supposed to know."
He definitely had to lean in quite a bit, she was rather short and small.
"So, you have a weapon then?"

"Oh right. Forgot." Something about the meeting that said they were Reapers.
"Yeah. Got one." Then he paused. "We whispering cause we supposed to be Reapers? I don't how I'm supposed to do that."

"I wasn't really paying all that much attention to be honest. I just know we aren't supposed to be like... loud and proud about it, yeah?" She smiled and then started to fidget excitedly. "So you're new then. What division?"
