☀️- New Arrival

-🌊⚡️☀️-

[Y/n] woke up to her bunkmate rushing down the ladder and to other people shuffling, with their not so silent whispers. 'Who was stupid enough to get hurt in the middle of the night? The harpies always patrol at night,' she thought.

Rubbing the sleep out of her eyes, she sees a small crowd forming around one of the cots. The usual Apollo healers are there, with Lee Fletcher taking the lead and directing everyone. There's a healer working on someone with curly hair, with some scruff on his chin. He kinda looks like- 'Grover'.

After leaving for a year and only calling through the occasional iris message, this is not how she wanted to see her old friend again.

Now fully awake [y/n] headed towards Govers cot. As she got closer, she sees the healer that's helping Grover is Benny, the person who sleeps on the bunk above her and (although she would never tell them this) one the cabins more average cabin healers.

She snapped at them to get their attention. "What happened?" she signed worriedly.

"Oh man, [y/n], you're not going to believe this - Grover came back, with a demigod he's been following-"

'Yes!' She thought, celebrating internalty. 'Grover needed a victory like this. But if both him and the demigod are here-' your excitement turned into an awkward grimace.

"-Well they came back tonight, obviously, but they fought something big. Annabeth and Chiron found them- She said they fought the minotaur!" they whispered excitedly.

"Minotaur? No way, like the minotaur." she asked, emphasizing the sign for minotaur, to make sure she heard it right.

"I know, right!? I'm more shocked that Grover actually brought someone back in one piece."

[y/n] gave them a sharp look.

"Oh, uh, sorry". He apologized.

She (lightly) punched his shoulder. "It's fine."

With that, she gave Benny some space so they could focus on helping Grover. But from what [y/n] could see, his injuries don't require much ambrosia, so he should be fine. He'll be incredibly sore and really bruised for a bit- but fine.

She then directed her attention to the small crowd circling the cot next to Grover. Everyone was invested in their own chatter that they didn't notice her eavesdroping.

"You really think he did it?"

"With Grover? No way. He's lucky he survived traveling with him!"

"How strong is this new guy?"

"This has to be a fluke."

"What does Luke have to do with this?"

"No dummy! FFF-uke not LLL-uke!"

[Y/n] snapped repeatedly to get the group's attention. "I see a lot of busy mouths and not busy hands. Either help out or get to bed." No one moved or seemed to care.

"I'll scream." She threatened.

That made the stranglers go to their respective bunks, leaving Lee, Benny, and [y/n] by the cots.
