Raven looked up at Luke, curious of what he wanted with her. Connor and Travis ran, with her now distracted and unable to kill them in front of their half brother.

Luke tilted his head, nodding to the direction of the woods. "I uh..well I wanted to ask you something...in a more private area though." Raven blinked, "Uh...okay? Lead the way I guess." She said and followed him into the woods, the heels she wore were beginning to irritate her too much though so she took those off and walked behind barefoot.

He glanced back at her, eyeing her outfit and make-up. "What did happen though? You look like the Aphrodite girls got a hold of you..?" He prodded. Raven gave him a blank look. "They did, and please don't ask why." She replied with.

Luke nodded, understandably and stopped in front of Zeus's fist. In front of the rock was a sheet, and some sodas. Following his lead, Raven sat down on the sheet, getting more and more confused what was going on here.

She knew Luke couldn't like her the way she liked him. So why does this all look like..?

Luke sat in front of her, looking off to the distance, his mind racing and going over thoughts before he faced her. "Raven...I mean we've known each other for a while now...and.."

Raven blinked, 'No way! Oh gods is this actually happening?!' She thought, secretly freaking out.

It was dinner time, and honestly Raven was beaming, she was seated next to Luke, ignoring the teasing looks some of Cabin 11 was giving her or the victorious with some partial jealous looks Cabin 10 held. She also ignored the gobsmacked looks of the majority due to her dressing in a skirt.

Dinner went by nicely and afterwards during Camp fire, she and Luke hugged in front of the flames. She honestly couldn't believe he asked her out. And should find this all too good to be true. And she was...but her joy was over-riding any of those thoughts. And for the first time in a while she went to sleep with a truly happy smile- though that sleep didn't last very long.

Percy stirred; it was late-morning. About 11 a.m. and just about to turn noon. He was out on the porch, seated in front with the view of the fields, lake, and campers.

He opened his eyes and flinched back. He had a sour, pained look on his face and seemed to have moved his lower jaw a bit to check the condition of his teeth and mouth.

Percy squinted, taking in the view of the fields and lake and Big House. You could see his beautiful sea green eyes glaze over. Thoughts and what the reason on why he was there no doubt. Raven stood to the side, just getting Grover when she realised he was stirring to become awake, fully coming to. She smiled at the young satyr and watched for a moment. Smiling more seeing Percy drown some nectar- nearly the entirety of the cup in one drink.

She turned away, going to the archery court to practice her target shooting. She was a novis compared to the Apollo cabin. But was on pretty equal grounds with the Ares cabin. Though in all honestly she preferred fighting with her twin blades, spear or staff. Which got her crossing paths with Clairesse often.
