(Ashby uses they/them btw)
They smiled at the joke and pretended that they didn't already know he was from the Hermes cabin when he mentioned it, feigning a face of surprise "Hermes' pretty cool" They flinched when he put the coat on them, but couldn't help smiling "You didn't have to. Really." As they entered the infirmary, they walked in on the Apollo kids (who were most of the doctors and nurses) and satyrs chatting. One of them was in the middle of insulting Mr.D when they walked in, and stopped immediately "No, please don't let me interrupt. I just… needed a change of clothes" they looked back at the Hermes kid who had walked them there "Thank you… uh, what's your name?"

When Wendi entered the mess hall their eye immediately went to the Apollo table to see Dove being side hugged by Ash and immediately felt guilt wash over her. She ducked her head down and went quietly to the Hecate table hoping Dove wouldn't spot her. While also hoping Dove would see her? It was weird. She felt bad about making Dovve feel bad, but she didn't want to talk to Dove right now. Which in turn would only make Dove feel worse, which would make Wendi feel worse. Wendi was just caught it a nasty cycle at the moment.

Amelia's chest tighten and she felt bad for even asking in the first place. He was grieving. She shouldn't be reminding him of what he lost. "I'm so sorry Wynn. I can't even begin to imagine. If you ever want to talk, I'm here."
She hoped her words would bring comfort but there wasn't much she felt like she could offer other than a shoulder to lean on. After a moment of thinking, she took his hands into hers and gripped them. "You have me to celebrate with. And we'll honor them, pay them tribute. They raised a wonderful boy."
Amelia turned her head to look at who was walking in. "I believe that's Dove. I don't know much about her though."

He was about to tell her he was fine, and that she didn't need to worry about him when she grabbed his hands into hers and held them, he felt himself blush slightly as she did so, looking into her eyes. He smiled at her, moving to lock there fingers together.
"thank you Amelia, I'm so glad to have someone like you to spend the holidays with, it…makes me feel less alone." He smiled genuinely at her, before moving to look over at the girl again.
"she looks kinda down…I'm gonna see if I can cheer her up. I'll be back." He smiled at her before moving to get up and head over to Dove, placing his hand on the table with a grin at her.
"Hey Birdie, what's up?" He played on her name, giving her a nickname..

"Yeah I know, I'm so cool." He joked as they walked towards the infirmary and then into it. He notices the flinching when he put his coat on them and took a mental note of it, they would probably ask about it when they were closer, he wasn't that much of a jerk.
"hm? Me? Oh well, I'm Adin. Your welcome about it, it wasn't that much of a bother to do so." He shrugged, before grinning.
"What's your name Cherry hair?"

Dove didn’t notice Wendi enter the mess hall, as she was trying to distract herself by eating. Sadly, she couldn’t ignore the hand that landed beside her on the table. She flinched at the nickname. Birdie… He’s talking to her, right? She looked up at the boy, and he didn’t seem to be looking at anyone other than her. She swallowed a bite of her grilled cheese sandwich. That pained feeling came back, but this time for a different reason. Grandma used to call her that a lot… she didn’t anymore, but… why was it so painful to hear?
“That’s not my name,” she said blankly. She tried to suppress the pain now. She didn’t want the boy to get a cold or something because of her. It was fine. He didn’t know, after all. “You must know my actual name if you’re… if you’re calling me that, right? Just call me that, please. What’s your name?”
She glanced over to Ash, who she could already tell was feeling the affects of her negative emotions. He had stopped eating the napkin, and was now rubbing at his temple with his eyes squeezed shut. More not-so-positive emotions rose up when she saw him, and she wished fervently that the boy would leave, for all of their sakes.

"So then birdie is a no go? Got it. Sorry about that, just thought I would try something out see if it worked, maybe try and cheer you up. I can see how much it didn't work though."
He put a hand on his neck before holding his hand out to her,
"I'm Wynn, your Dove right? That's a really pretty name." He offered a smile as he spoke, waiting for a handshake though if she didn't shake his hand he wouldn't care that much. He just wanted to make sure to have there just Incase.

"Yeah I know, I'm so cool." He joked as they walked towards the infirmary and then into it. He notices the flinching when he put his coat on them and took a mental note of it, they would probably ask about it when they were closer, he wasn't that much of a jerk.
"hm? Me? Oh well, I'm Adin. Your welcome about it, it wasn't that much of a bother to do so." He shrugged, before grinning.
"What's your name Cherry hair?"

"I'm uh…." they began "Ashby" They reached up into one of the cupboards of the infirmary and pulled out an unused camouflage sweater and a pair of grey joggers. They didn't match in the slightest. They looked back at Adin tentatively. "Hey, uh…" they started "I'm not sure how this works" they continued under their breath before gathering the courage to finally ask "Do you, um, wanna be friends? I just… you're nice?"

Amelia watched as Wynn got up and left. She sighed to herself. She put her hands back up near the furnace, continuing to warm them up. The bell signaling dinner rang not too long after. She was on of the first in line, grabbed a tray, and went down the line, grabbing her food. She gave her offerings to her mother and sat down at the Aphrodite table, joining her siblings.

Aaaannndd he hasn’t left yet. She hesitantly took his hand and shook it slowly. “Um… nice to meet you, Wynn. Thanks.”
She took a deep breath and tried not to feel so guilty and sad. Since he hasn’t left, it would be better if she just tried to get herself together.
“Oh, and this is my friend Ash,” she said, letting go of the boy’s hand and gesturing to the satyr. Ash raised a hand in greeting, but not much else.

“Oh, and this is my friend Ash,” she said, letting go of the boy’s hand and gesturing to the satyr. Ash raised a hand in greeting, but not much else.

He nodded, shaking her hand before pulling away after she let go.
"oh hey ash, it's nice to meet you." He smiled at the satyr as he held a hand up in awknowledgement. He seemed like he might not be doing well, or just tired so he didn't bother him much.
"so, If you don't mind my asking, what's got you upset?" He asked, and like he totally didn't expect her to tell him but he was just wondering if there was some way she did and then he could help that way.

"I'm uh…." they began "Ashby" They reached up into one of the cupboards of the infirmary and pulled out an unused camouflage sweater and a pair of grey joggers. They didn't match in the slightest. They looked back at Adin tentatively. "Hey, uh…" they started "I'm not sure how this works" they continued under their breath before gathering the courage to finally ask "Do you, um, wanna be friends? I just… you're nice?"

"hm so that's your name then? I think I'm gonna stick with cherry hair, but hey maybe one day I'll call you your name." He grinned at them, waiting for them to be finished getting dressed before continuing the conversation.
"Friends? Why of course! I would love to be friends you with Cherry hair." He genuinely smiled at Ashby.

Wendi felt the air around her fill with Mist as she attempted to disappear. She couldn't keep her eyes off of the Apollo table and she felt horrible about how Dove was feeling. She really should go over and explain herself, but she just couldn't. So instead she instinctively tried to hide herself from the rest of the world.

“Nothing,” she said immediately, “What makes you think that?”
If she had to tell him, she might start crying, which would make the situation all the more awkward. Besides, he was a stranger. Why did he want to know?
At this point she could hear the other Apollo kids muttering to themselves, wondering why a Hephaestus kid was talking and hanging around the Apollo table. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Wendi fading in and out among the Hecate table, and some of the pain returned. She immediately turned her gaze back to Wynn.

Nicolas strolled into the mess hall without a care in the world. He grabbed his food, offered his blessings, and sat down at a table furthest away from where everyone else was gathered. He was more of a loner. He kept to himself. He didn't do well with others. It didn't bother him though, being alone. It was better that way. He felt like he just about ruined every relationship he tried having. He always found a way to sabotage it. Thanks mom. Better to be alone so he didn't hurt anyone.

Astrid entered the mess hall and grabbed a plate of food, scraping a portion into the fire and heading to an empty table. She made a point to avoid the Aphrodite table. She'd never been fond of them, considering how self-centered most of them seemed to be. She sat down, pulling her jacket tighter around her shoulders as her gaze traveled across the mess hall.

"Well I happened to see you walking in and over to a table and you didn't exactly look or seem happy, so I wanted to just check in and see if you were okay, and hey if I could make a new friend in the making why not give it a shot. Well, that is if you want to be friends," he put a hand on his neck with a slight chuckle.
"I don't want you to feel forced into anything." He shook off a weird feeling in the back of his Brain.
