Let Me Care

[ Addison "Addy" Briar Cross ] Love doesn't mean just r o m a n c e , there's F R I E N D S AND F A M I L Y, too

“Both of us? Nah, just you.”

[ohanameansicare]

“--Okay, so I don’t get embarrassed. Can you blame me for getting embarrassed ‘bout something like this?”

[pyrosvestisarchive]

“You may think fallin’ asleep at the worktable is embarrassing, but hey, happens too much for me to think of it that way.”

[ohanameansicare]

“--Yeah, but now there’s some ashes on your forehead and in your hair ‘cause one of your siblings started working with fire and didn’t notice you asleep, so they kind of floated over here. And, not gonna lie, the whole ‘ashes on face and hair’ thing isn’t really that good looking... Or good for your skin.”

Ravi laughed a little at the face she made, but then she smiled genuinely at the introduction. “Yeah, Ravi. I’m surprised they actually wrote it right this time! Nice to meet you, Addy. I’m in the Ares cabin, if you ever need someone beat up for you. Or if you want help training. Or a sweet movie night, honestly.”

[ohanameansicare]

Well, wasn’t this a little funny? “I’m actually an Aphrodite kid, so...!” It made sense how they got along so easily already, to say the least. “I’m hoping I won’t even need you to beat someone up for me--” knock on wood, Addy-- “but training help and movie nights are always fun. I’m always a sucker for dumb rom-coms, honestly!”

“How is calling someone a self-absorbed egomaniac rude when I wasn’t talking about them? He was saying worse things about my father! Everyone knows that since we all know Mr. D.” 

[ohanameansicare]

“Well, no one should really be calling each other anything, if we can help it. But even then, Mr. D can handle himself when it comes to campers being rude.”

“I’ve had a few. Y’get dizzy and then you’re fine. ‘S long as y’don’t go to sleep. Though, yeah, daughter of Poseidon, I have a ship, and I occasionally steal things. So. Pirate’s life for me!”

[ohanameansicare]

“--Oh. But still, as a pirate, wouldn’t you want to avoid getting a concussion? You’re pretty much unable to work your ship or anything if you have head-splitting headaches...”

“Well I think you should use a makeup wipe first, then use these. It cleans deeper, I’m sure it will prevent breakouts better. You must be very excited about the musical, which one are you doing?”

[ohanameansicare]

“We’re doing Seussical this year! It’s about Horton trying to save the Whos, and the other animals are getting in the way and-- it’s just really cute. But since it’s Dr. Seuss with all of the bright colors ‘nd stuff, I need to designed makeup palettes with bright blushes and eyeshadows and just overall bright things.. There’s probably even going to be bright hairspray, just for fun.”

Skye took out his pad jotting down everything that he needs to say. “Sing language, I’m mute.”

[ohanameansicare]

“Mute? Alright then-- that makes sense. I mean, you can still hear me and everything at least, so... We can understand each other this way.”

[jasperdel]

“Thank you, that’s really kind of you.”

[ohanameansicare]

“I, um-- what was that? I don’t... really know hand signals...”

[celinelafleur-blog]

“Sorry, I meant charcoal. Apparently it’s very good for the pores? It absorbs toxins and pollutants.” 

[ohanameansicare]

“Wait, so does it act like an extra makeup wipe, then? ‘Cause that would be really useful for when I do makeup for this year’s musical ‘cause it’s so makeup heavy, and--”

[somniamortis-blog]

“Thank you for being merciful.” 

[ohanameansicare]

“I try to be merciful in things like this.”

[ohanameansicare]

unnotchedarrow:

“Cute. Well I’m fine, thanks.” 

“Alright. Well, uh... If you do need anything though, I’m just.. over in the Aphrodite cabin, so...”

[raviravioli-archive-blog]

“Good god, highway robbery just for coffee,” Ravi laughed a little. She started to reach for her wallet in her gym bag, but when the other girl explained what had happened, she relaxed. “Oh! Okay, that makes sense. Well, thanks for finding me with my order, at least? Sorry, I didn’t quite catch your name.”

[ohanameansicare]

“It happens a lot honestly-- my order always gets confused with one of the more popular ones they sell here.” Addison couldn’t help but even make a little face at the thought of it. “It’s no problem. It helps me get to know everyone ‘round here a bit better. I’m Addy. You’re... Ravi, right? That’s what it said on the cup, at least...”

[lxvelylxreley-blog]

“’M a pirate, mate, there’s a ton of things I do for no real reason. No real reason not to, though.”

[ohanameansicare]

“Well, I mean, if you don’t count landin’ on your butt or on your face, or-- or hittin’ your head completely and gettin’ a concussion..! I’ve heard concussions suck, so... Probably not the best idea. You’re a pirate, though?”

[ohanameansicare]

“Both of us? Nah, just you.”

“I mean, even an Aphrodite kid can be awkward ‘bout these things sometimes, so...”

[ohanameansicare]

“You may think fallin’ asleep at the worktable is embarrassing, but hey, happens too much for me to think of it that way.”

“Yeah, but... You snore really loud in your sleep.” But there’s a smile on her face when she says it and she glances around in wonder at the forge before focusing on him. “I was told to come here with my broken bracelet, though. Think you could stall your nap for a couple of minutes 'nd fix the clasp, at least?”

[leif-nixon]

“I didn’t say any profanities. Plus my grandmother’s been dead before I was born.”

[ohanameansicare]

“Well, but, ah... But even then, though. That was still pretty rude t’say out in public..”
