Raven glanced at Marcus. "It's fine. I just don't really like getting a lot of attention, so everything's fine." She answered, maybe a little too quickly.

"Still, I'm really sorry. Do you have anything to change into?" Marcus asked, concerned. "I'm sure we can get something from the camp store if you don't. Or, do you have a towel? I can go find a towel. I mean, you know towels, they're great at cleaning up messes. I prefer paper towels, but I think a non-paper towel would be better in this situation. Probably a beach towel. I'm pretty sure this camp has a beach, so it would make sense for someone to have a beach towel. Sorry, am I rambling?"

Raven stared at him for a moment, then smiled at his adorableness. "Really, it's fine. I can change when I go to the cabin."

"Uh," Marcus said, "right. What age kids did you get?" God, he was making this way too awkward.

She glanced at her list, thankfully it didn't get wet. "10 to 14 year old girls." She responded.
(Is it okay that I kind of started shipping Marcus and Raven after him being adorably awkward just now?)

(Yeah, we can ship them!)

Marcus smiled. "Oh, cool! I got seven and eight-year-old boys. Hopefully, they're not too rowdy. I don't think I'm gonna be able to say no to them."

Lotus looked at their sheet as Raven said that and thought for a moment. They didn't exactly think that number was right given the group they had, "I have the fourteen to fifteen-year-old girls, I think you meant something more like ten to thirteen. Even though that still seems like a big gap. Maybe ten to eleven is what you meant?"

Raven looked back at her sheet, noticing her error. "Oh, yeah! Oops!"

"Well, what is it then?" Lotus prompted to get Raven going.

"Ten to thirteen. Four girls. One of each age." She responded, folding the sheet and putting it in her still slightly damp pocket.

"For this week," Lotus commented, "Unless the kids stay here all summer. I don't know never been here before."

"This week? They can leave? I thought they were supposed to stay the whole summer." Raven said, confused.

"I'm pretty sure one session is two weeks, but I could be wrong. I think the entire camp is four sessions," Marcus said.

(I feel like the week to two weeks would be more realistic and probably work better.)

Lotus nodded as they crossed their arms, "Yeah that sounds about right. So what cabins are you guys in?"

"Cabin 2. It's near the dining hall," Marcus said, looking at his sheet. At least he'd stopped rambling.

"I'm in 16." Raven answered.

"I'm in 14," Lotus responded, "Makes sense they put the older kids together. I still think it's strange that they put ten to thirteen-year-olds all in one cabin. That's not typical right?"
