Trenton flinched, but managed to stay put. “I wanted to make amends.” He replied flatly.

Blair didn't say anything, he just turned and walked back into the forest.

“Blair!” Trenton ran after him, jogging a couple steps. He tripped over his own feet, landing with a resounding whump! on the ground.

“Trent!” Lydia said, putting her hand out to help him.

Trenton pushed himself into a sitting position, more annoyed than anything else. “No need, Lydia. Only my pride is injured.” He grumbled, brushing dirt off himself.

Lydia knelt down next to him. “You sure you’re alright?”

“Yes, I’m certain it’s simply fatigue. I’ll be lightheaded for awhile is all.” Trenton smiled slightly. “I appreciate your concern.”

Blair stalked into the edge of the woods and sat on a rock, he pulled out the small container. He picked up a glob of the stuff and began to spread it on his face.

“Let’s go somewhere else instead of lying on the ground, Trent.”

“I suppose you may be right.” Trent slowly got to his feet. He stared at the woods, where Blair had vanished. “Perhaps you should check on him as well. You seem amicable.”

Lydia blushed. “What does amicable mean?”

“Friendly.” Trent replied flatly, glaring at the tree line. “It appears I cannot do much to help in this situation.”

“I’ll go talk to him.” Lydia said quietly, standing up.

Trent smiled warmly in response. “Do you want my rapier?” He gestured to the ornate handle of the sword attached to his belt. “It may not be the most appropriate weapon at this time. Knife to a gunfight as they say, but if it offers you some protection I would be happy to lend it to you.”

Lydia nodded, suddenly realizing she had left her sword at the beach, in a crack in the rocks. She took the rapier, and headed off in the direction Blair had gone.

Once Blair had applied the ointment, he took out his staff. If I'm going to be a social recluse, I might as well train. He thought, getting into a fencing position and begining to hit a tree stump.

Trenton ran his hands through his hair, watching Lydia leave. He turned away after she vanished behind the tree line, finishing the walk to his cabin. Might as well fix my hair while I wait…

Lydia looked for a moment before seeing Blair hitting a tree. “Hey!” She called, hoping to let him know she was there without startling him.

Trenton sat on his bed, applying the little bit of gel to his hair. A few of his cabin mates greeted him, but he was otherwise left alone as he flopped on the bed. He was exhausted from the morning’s events, and decided a quick nap would help fix at least half his problems at the moment.

Blair didnt look up, simply hitting the tree again and readjusting his stance. You can see that his form is shaking like a leaf in the wind.

Lydia stepped up to him, and said, “Are you ok?”

"You're going to get hit." He said with a growl, hitting the tree again.

“No, I won’t.” Lydia said, gently.

Trenton was out cold in a matter of minutes, sprawled on top of the covers with his sneakers still on. He snored softly every few moments.

“No, I won’t.” Lydia said, gently.

"Yes you will, If you don't leave I'm going to hit you." He said, smacking the tree again.
