I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly

Camille Grey, 19, the best dancer you'll have the pleasure to meet. Terpsichore cabin.

[greater-grey]

Of course you can. Whatever you say, idiot. *looks at it and shakes her head* N-no. I mean, she’s asleep. I don’t wanna disturb her or anything… So you’re married?

[adamofthenight-blog]

Don’t judge me. -puts the monitor back- Nah, she can sleep through anything, there was a car crash outside our house a few weeks ago and not even an eye flutter. Plus I er should get back soon, she’ll be waking up. -shakes his head- No, not married. Not even….technically in a relationship. It’s-it’s complicated.

[greater-grey]

I'm not judging you, I'm just... Surprised, that's all. *widens eyes* Our house? So you um... You live with a woman? Her mom? *looks to her feet and bites her lips* When?

[greater-grey]

You don’t? Hm… So Artemis hasn’t called you to do anything yet? *shrugs* Nineteen. Not much older but… Yeah.

[maggiethehuntress]

She’s been quite busy, I feel. /laughs/ Oh, not much older indeed. 

[greater-grey]

Soon enough you'll help her, hopefully. You can't be unbusy forever.

[greater-grey]

Aha, weren’t you mister popular a while ago? And you’re not gonna lose him, we’re just gonna have something in common. *nods slowly* I um… Wow. That was unexpected. Is um… Is she around?

[adamofthenight-blog]

I can be popular with limited friends! Hm…yeah yeah. -nods slowly, pulling a baby monitor out of his back pocket- She’s asleep in my cabin, Thing’s with her. I kinda had to bring her with me, needed to check some stuff with Chiron. You can um…meet her. If you want to? I mean you don’t have to, it’s just….yeah. 

[greater-grey]

Of course you can. Whatever you say, idiot. *looks at it and shakes her head* N-no. I mean, she's asleep. I don't wanna disturb her or anything... So you're married?

[greater-grey]

*chuckles* You hear that, Dom? She found you cute. *widens eyes* You’re just eighteen? That’s so amazing! I remember when I was eighteen. I left this place for good.

[maggiethehuntress]

/smiles at the baby/ I sure do. And I don’t have anywhere to go to so… there’s that. /tilts head/ How old are you now?

[greater-grey]

You don't? Hm... So Artemis hasn't called you to do anything yet? *shrugs* Nineteen. Not much older but... Yeah.

[greater-grey]

Oh come on, it’s not like you’d have anything against it! …would you? *smiles* Yeah, I’m just a nice soul with a nice everything. That’s just me. *nods* Sure, I’ll call, don’t worry. *widens eyes and stays quiet for a while* …daughter?

[adamofthenight-blog]

Hey, I can’t afford to lose friends, they’re hard to come by. -grins- Sue you are Camille. -bits his lip, nodding- Yeah. She’s er…yeah. I want to say a mistake, but she’s not, she’s the furthest thing from that. She just wasn’t…planned. 

[greater-grey]

Aha, weren't you mister popular a while ago? And you're not gonna lose him, we're just gonna have something in common. *nods slowly* I um... Wow. That was unexpected. Is um... Is she around?

[greater-grey]

Because of italian desserts? *laughs* Come on, let’s try to find something. How old are you now, anyway?

[maggiethehuntress]

Because cute baby satyrs and Italian desserts! /nods, smiling/ Oh, uh… Eighteen. /chuckles/ I almost forgot.

[greater-grey]

*chuckles* You hear that, Dom? She found you cute. *widens eyes* You're just eighteen? That's so amazing! I remember when I was eighteen. I left this place for good.

[greater-grey]

I bet he’ll love you, then! *smiles* They’re these italian things filled with cream. They’re amazing!

[maggiethehuntress]

/claps/ Yay! This is turning out to be a great birthday!

[greater-grey]

Because of italian desserts? *laughs* Come on, let's try to find something. How old are you now, anyway?

[greater-grey]

Tell me more about your friend, then. *chuckles* Yeah, that was a compliment, you idiot. Now stop it, it’s not like I don’t compliment people anyway! *nods* Yeah I um… I might even visit you someday, if you’d like that. *raises an eyebrow* Tessa? Who’s that?

[adamofthenight-blog]

Oh no, not going to do that. You’ll probably like him more! -grins- Aww like this nicer side of you Grey, it’s very…nice. -blushes slightly- Yeah, I wouldn’t mind that. But er, call first okay? Tessa is…. -runs a hand through his hair- she’s well she’s my eight month old….daughter. 

[greater-grey]

Oh come on, it's not like you'd have anything against it! ...would you? *smiles* Yeah, I'm just a nice soul with a nice everything. That's just me. *nods* Sure, I'll call, don't worry. *widens eyes and stays quiet for a while* ...daughter?

[greater-grey]

How about some canollis? I saw them in a bakery once, they seemed delicious. *nods* Dom will be just fine if he eats, too.

[maggiethehuntress]

Well, I’m willing to eat and share pretty much anything. /grins/ Canollis sound good. Not that I really know what they are, though. /laughs/

[greater-grey]

I bet he'll love you, then! *smiles* They're these italian things filled with cream. They're amazing!

[greater-grey]

He is, isn’t he?! *grins* Hm… What’s your favorite dessert?

[maggiethehuntress]

Quite. /smiles/ Well… there are so many. I like anything sweet, really. I just don’t want– Dom, was it? – to destroy a cake or something. /chuckles/

[greater-grey]

How about some canollis? I saw them in a bakery once, they seemed delicious. *nods* Dom will be just fine if he eats, too.

[greater-grey]

We would? Hm… Is he cute, though? *smiles slightly* You’ve always been the greatest, did you know that? Of all the people I know, including myself, you’re the greatest person I’ve ever met. Thank you, Adam. *laughs* Of course they do. I bet Dom is the only kid who isn’t scared of you, weirdo. *Dom laughs and reaches a hand to Adam*

[adamofthenight-blog]

Oh he’s not to bad I guess. -grins- Woah, was that…a compliment? Im going to need a moment to remember this. -laughs- You’re welcome, just, don’t forget about us not as great people when you’re all big a famous yeah? -shakes his head, still grinning at Dominic- Nah, he’s not the only one. Tessa’s quite fond of me too. -freezes- Crap. 

[greater-grey]

Tell me more about your friend, then. *chuckles* Yeah, that was a compliment, you idiot. Now stop it, it's not like I don't compliment people anyway! *nods* Yeah I um... I might even visit you someday, if you'd like that. *raises an eyebrow* Tessa? Who's that?

[greater-grey]

Of course! The guy who barely ever laughs. Sounds popular for me! *grins* You really think so? I don’t know, I just… I’ve never thought of myself as anything less than great and now I don’t want this and it’s hella confusing. *Dominic giggles and waves back* Well, he likes you, apparently. You and your funny hair.

[adamofthenight-blog]

You and my friend Carter would get along great, all you do is take the piss. -sigs, but nods- You can still be great and work for something smaller. You just gotta…do something for yourself. -grins- Of course he likes me! All kids like me, I’m a natural y’know. Oh yes I am! -wiggles his fingers in front of Dominic, poking his tongue out- Blonide just doesn’t get it does she little buddy?

[greater-grey]

We would? Hm... Is he cute, though? *smiles slightly* You've always been the greatest, did you know that? Of all the people I know, including myself, you're the greatest person I've ever met. Thank you, Adam. *laughs* Of course they do. I bet Dom is the only kid who isn't scared of you, weirdo. *Dom laughs and reaches a hand to Adam*

[greater-grey]

Well, then maybe we should get some cake for you! Or a cupcake, little Dom over here will smash your cake in no time.

[maggiethehuntress]

A– oh. /looks at the baby satyr/ How adorable. /looks back at her/ I would something sweet, though.

[greater-grey]

He is, isn't he?! *grins* Hm... What's your favorite dessert?

[greater-grey]

Hm… Does that mean no cake, though? You can always have cake even though you don’t age, right?

[maggiethehuntress]

Of course I can have cake! I’m immortal, not crazy!

[greater-grey]

Well, then maybe we should get some cake for you! Or a cupcake, little Dom over here will smash your cake in no time.

[greater-grey]

So today’s supposed to be your birthday?

[maggiethehuntress]

/nods/ That’s right. But it’s weird knowing that I’m going to look like this forever.

[greater-grey]

Hm... Does that mean no cake, though? You can always have cake even though you don't age, right?

[maggiethehuntress]

Birthdays are weird when you’re immortal.

[greater-grey]

So today's supposed to be your birthday?

[greater-grey]

Look at who’s popular now! That’s great, Adam. I’m really happy for you. Do you like what you’re doing? *sighs* Yeah but where? Where can I dance? If I come back here my dad will probably stop giving me money. I’ll have nowhere to live. *sighs as Dominic reaches to grab Adam’s hair* Woah hey there, no, no, no.

[adamofthenight-blog]

Hey, I’ve always been popular, you just scared everyone away. -laughs- Yeah, yeah I do. So what? Grey, you’re really fricking talented, you can get a job with probably any dance company and be making more than enough money to live on. You just gotta…take the chance. -laughs, grabbing his hand and waving a little bit- Hey there buddy, that’s attached. 

[greater-grey]

Of course! The guy who barely ever laughs. Sounds popular for me! *grins* You really think so? I don't know, I just... I've never thought of myself as anything less than great and now I don't want this and it's hella confusing. *Dominic giggles and waves back* Well, he likes you, apparently. You and your funny hair.
