         "LUKE!" Andie ran up to him.

"Yes, Rue?" Luke tried to match her energy as much as possible, but that was difficult because he was pretty focused on training the shoes Hermes gave him.

"You're finally using those?" the daughter of Apollo smiled.

"Not for me." He muttered.

"Oh? For who, then?" The girl inquired.

"For the next quest-goers. Thought I'd give them a treat, so they could get back to camp faster." He smiled warmly.

Andie returned the smile and rambled to him about the new kid she met, and how horrible she felt for him.

"I can show him around and give him some tips if you'd like, Rue." The boy offered.

The daughter of Apollo nodded excitedly.

"Tell him about Capture The Flag. Annie and I are on the same team, and that's a good opportunity to get claimed y'know?"

The son of Hermes nodded.

"Just, don't let the same thing happen to you like it happened before, Andie. You're a good kid. Don't let some other boys screw you over, just because. You know what happened with Jameson, I'd hate for it to happen to you again,"

"I know what happened, Luke. I was there, wasn't I?" She interrupted him immediately.

He shrugged and gave her an almost forgiving smile.

Luke showed Percy around and told him all of the fun things he could do here. It was clear Percy's mood was improving by the fact that he now had someone to help him get claimed.

The Son of Hermes rambled about Glory. How important it was to everyone, how a demigod's life consisted of it.

"How do I get that?"

Luke explained it easily. As if it was in his instinct to encourage campers to risk their lives to get some of it. But as a senior counsellor that was his job, at least, that's what Percy assumed.

And he smiled. For the first time since he got here.

"Let's see what you can do, c'mon." The unclaimed boy followed the Son of Hermes like a little lost puppy dog.

After lighting the Hephaestus cabin on fire, ruining a perfectly good bow and arrow, and breaking almost everything at every station, Luke decided that it would be best if Percy waited until time would tell him that. So he moved on to explaining everything to him, everything he needed to know.

"That's Annabeth. Smartest one here." He explained and proceeded to ramble about her past, and all of the things she can do.

"Next to her is Andie." Luke smiled.

"Andromeda?" Percy's eyebrows raised.

"Nickname. She's like— the coolest of the Apollo kids. Since she doesn't just heal. She fights more. Really intelligent, and good with a bow & arrow. Too empathic for her own good. Though, she has some trust issues."

"How'd she get here?"

"Andie started getting visions, of future events. But the future of camp. She went with her satyr, her brother and her stepsister to camp for the first time when she was like 8, so a year after Annabeth. Then she got claimed by Apollo."
