( 31 ) ❛ what he means to me ❜

Quests are a huge part of Camp Half-Blood because they serve as both training grounds and rites of passage for demigods. These often life-threatening missions provide campers with the opportunity to test their skills, face real-world dangers, and prove their bravery and resourcefulness. So there is no surprise whenever the head of the camp calls in specific campers to take on a quest.
"What's your agenda today?" Seri asked the redhead who was in the middle of a yawn, eyes still droopy as she forced herself to stay awake. The girl was all up last night wondering where Sion had gone, after he disappeared to get some snacks, he never came back thus resulting in Aeri worrying. She did get some shut-eye though barely as her thoughts kept her busy.
"I–I don't know... I'm still a bit... out of it." Aeri murmured, her mind still a haze making her prop an elbow on the table as she leaned into her hand, gently massaging her temple.
Seri furrowed her eyebrows worriedly at the girl. "Didn't sleep well last night?"
"No." The redhead replied flatly. "I was too worried about Sion. He suddenly disappeared last night. I don't even see him around here." She said, mumbling the last part to herself as she glanced around. Unclipping then clipping her earrings, she fiddled with them for a while as she sat there contemplating the thoughts that flooded her mind. "I mean, maybe he suddenly got sick or something?"
"Should I go check?" Aeri questioned her sister, tilting her head a bit. She was no doubt willing to go and check right now. The walk to the cabins wasn't even that far. When Aeri was about to stand up, Seri yanked her back down to sit, nodding her head towards her plate of sweet ham, rice, and veggies.
"Finish your food first."
After literally gobbling her food up, Aeri said her thanks for the meal before standing up to head back to the cabins. The walk back to the cabins was brisk as nothing but worry consumed her at the moment. She stood there in front of the white marble-looking box, with heavy, white columns in the front. It was considered the biggest and bulkiest of all cabins. She slowly walked towards the polished bronze doors that had lightning bolts streaked down on them. As she raises her fist to knock on the door, it bursts open revealing one of Sion's siblings.
"Oh? Adachi Aeri?" The Zeus kid, whom Aeri recognized as Mark Lee, uttered, confusion present in his eyes. "Uhh, what brings you here?" He questions, a hand reaching up to scratch a portion of his head.
Sure, Adachi Aeri was known to them as Sion would oftentimes ramble about the girl at the cabin, though they'd never really personally interacted with the girl. A few of them did ask her for love advice and stuff but that was it. Seeing the girl in front of their door was quite unusual, considering that their cabin didn't have anything special inside to visit, unlike the Athena cabin's library.
