Recovery (me and Balisugar)

Subject: Recovery (me and Balisugar) Sat Dec 31, 2011 8:05 pm

Jon staggered into the infirmary, hardly able to walk after the fog had been out for so long. He stumbled over to a bed and collapsed, trying hard to stay awake. Taking in a deep breath, he sat up in the bed, looking around the room for Ambrosia an Nectar, and kept glancing back and forth between the room and the door, waiting to see if Gwen was behind him. He knew she had no obligation to him, but he wanted her around just in case it came back. She seemed to be the only one able to make it go away with her light... how had she done that?

Gwen followed Jon into the infirmary. When they were near he'd insisted he could walk on his own. Gwen spotted him now, collapsed on a bed. Was it just her or did he look relieved to see her? Gwen shrugged mentally and walked over to the nectar and ambrosia stores. She took out some ambrosia and walked back to Jon. She handed him a small bit. Too much and he could burn up. "Here you go." she said brightly.

Jon slowly ate the ambrosia, taking deep breaths between bites. "Thank you," he finally said when he finished. "I'm sorry if I'm asking too much, but... what was that light?"

~Sorry it took so long. My computer was installing updates and had restarted~

'No problem." Gwen said. "Happy to help. I'm a daughter of Eos, Goddess of the Dawn so I can naturally create light. Usually I channel it through my hands but as you saw I can use any part of my body. I hadn't done it out of everywhere before though. I'd been thinking about it but that was the first time I tried it. Why do you ask?"

"I've just never seen anything like that... it scared off the fog." Jon coughed and looked back down at the ground, avoiding eye contact. "Sorry, I'm just curious." Jon looked back up, still avoiding eye contact.

Subject: Re: Recovery (me and Balisugar) Sat Dec 31, 2011 9:52 pm

"That's okay." Gwen said, shrugging. She was quite an easy-going person, not bovered by other's questions. "Are you feeling well enough to got to your cabin?"Gwen asked. "Which one is it, by the way?"

Subject: Re: Recovery (me and Balisugar) Sat Dec 31, 2011 9:58 pm

"Umm..." Jon looked at the ground again "Hermes... I haven't been claimed..." The ambrosia had make him feel better physically, but talking about his dad and how he hadn't claimed him yet make him feel horrible. He may not have been claimed, but he knew fully well who his father was...

Subject: Re: Recovery (me and Balisugar) Sat Dec 31, 2011 10:04 pm

"That's cool." Gwen said. She was internally kicking herself because Jon had a strange expression on his face. "Um.. do you want to go there or stay here" she asked, trying to repair her damage. "Do you have any idea who your Godly parent is?" Gwen asked cautiously. What was wrong with her today? She was asking all the worst questions imaginable.

Subject: Re: Recovery (me and Balisugar) Sat Dec 31, 2011 10:17 pm

Jon's eyes widened as he suddenly looked up at Gwen, making eye contact for the first time in a while. Suddenly realizing this was probably a dead giveaway of a touchy subject, he looked back down. "I..." Jon took a deep breath, deciding that a lie was probably best for both of them. He knew if he said anything, he might hurt her. Jon couldn't bear the idea of putting somebody else in danger because of him. He already almost caused her death once. "No, I don't" he said quietly, wishing he could tell somebody for once.

Subject: Re: Recovery (me and Balisugar) Sat Dec 31, 2011 10:21 pm

"Are you sure?" Gwen asked shrewdly. "'Coz you look pretty smart to me and if you said you created that fog then that definitely narrows your options down. I think I have a pretty good idea who your parent is. But okay. If you don't want to tell me...fine. So are we going to Cabin 11 or staying here." Gwen mentally kicked herself, again. There was definitely something wrong with her. She just couldn't keep her mouth shut.

Jon sighed, figuring the girl was just trying to get rid of him. He couldn't blame her, he wasn't exactly the best company to have around. "I guess back to the cabins... so are you living in the Hera cabin or the basement?" Why did he ask? She probably thought he was just some creepy guy now. Oh well, he figured. How much worse could it get from almost getting her killed?

Subject: Re: Recovery (me and Balisugar) Sun Jan 01, 2012 1:38 am

Gwen grinned happily. She hated just standing around. "I live in the Hera cabin. It's way too dark down in the basement. I don't like it at all." She shuddered theatrically. "Do you like the Hermes cabin?" she asked curiously.

Subject: Re: Recovery (me and Balisugar) Sun Jan 01, 2012 2:02 am

I used to, but my bunk-mate moved out... he got claimed almost a year ago. Now it's just lonely. I mean, I know there are a lot of people, but I'm not exactly the talkative type. I don't like to hand around people for too long because of the fog..." Jon thought back, remembering the first time he realized the fog could affect other people... his older brother had been terrified...

Subject: Re: Recovery (me and Balisugar) Sun Jan 01, 2012 2:08 am

Gwen frowned thoughtfully. "You'll get claimed soon, I'm sure." she said reassuringly. "Do you rckon you could eventually learn to control fog. It's probably possible. I would help you if you wanted." Gwen said. Jon needed to learn control over his powers. It was vital.

Subject: Re: Recovery (me and Balisugar) Sun Jan 01, 2012 2:13 am

"I can make it come out when I want and target who I want, but some times I just can't do anything about it... I've been trying for years." Jon sighed, looking back down at the ground. Why was she still talking to him? He thought she would have wanted to get back to her cabin as soon as possible. Away from him. Safe. He wished he could be safe for once...

Subject: Re: Recovery (me and Balisugar) Sun Jan 01, 2012 2:17 am

"Hmm." Gwen said thoughtfully. So he could make it bend to his will, but only sometimes. "When you can't control it, that's the important part. Were you scared, angry, sad?" Maybe a certain emotion triggered it accidentally. Gwen had heard of things like that before. Often when people were angry their powers were stronger.

Subject: Re: Recovery (me and Balisugar) Sun Jan 01, 2012 2:22 am

"It's always after I wake up from a nightmare... when I see..." Jon clenched his fist and let out a deep sigh "Never mind..." he wished he could go on, tell her all about his dream about his father, but he knew he couldn't...
Why was she so interested? Why was she not running? Without thinking, the question slipped from his mouth. "Why are you not afraid to be around me?" he asked.

Subject: Re: Recovery (me and Balisugar) Sun Jan 01, 2012 2:26 am

"Why should I be?" Gwen asked. "I don't have one single greatest fear so the fog can't scare me. Also I defeated it before. I can do it again if I have to. Plus you shouldn't have to deal with this alone." she said that last sentence softly and gently.

Subject: Re: Recovery (me and Balisugar) Sun Jan 01, 2012 2:32 am

Jon glanced up at Gwen with a quizzical look at the tone of the last sentence. "I've had to for four years so far," he said "And other than bad sleeping patterns, I've done fine. I don't think the fog ever wants to kill me, just terrify me... but I'm not sure it will be that kind to others". Jon looked back down at the floor an sighed. Gwen must have thought he was either horrible at talking to people, or found the floor very interesting. "I just don't want anyone getting hurt because of me."

Subject: Re: Recovery (me and Balisugar) Sun Jan 01, 2012 3:13 am

Gwen followed his gaze to the floor. What was so interesting down there? All she could see was the floor. She shrugged and looked up again. "Just because you don't want people getting hurt doesn't mean you have to fight fog alone." she said reasonably.

Subject: Re: Recovery (me and Balisugar) Sun Jan 01, 2012 3:21 am

Jon looked back up at her. "Well thank you... and I can't say that enough." Jon stood up from the bed and stretched, leaning up against the wall. "I'm feeling a lot better. And again, thank you."

Subject: Re: Recovery (me and Balisugar) Sun Jan 01, 2012 3:51 am

"No problem." Gwen grinned. "So I'll see you around camp?" He could find his own way to the Hermes cabin. She didn't want him to think she thought he needed loads of help.

Subject: Re: Recovery (me and Balisugar) Sun Jan 01, 2012 2:24 pm

"Yeah, alright," Jon said as he looked back down at the floor. He had been hoping for some company for once, but he couldn't blame her for wanting to leave. For the best, he supposed. Jon walked toward the door, whispering as he walked by Gwen, "And thank you again..."

Subject: Re: Recovery (me and Balisugar) Sun Jan 01, 2012 5:02 pm

"No problem." Gwen repeated. She frowned, did he seem sad? She shrugged. Gwen had things she needed to do. She followed Jon out of the infirmary and walked towards cabin 2.
