Strawberry Pickup?

[Luca Cassano]

A certain child of Demeter was up since the early morning working the shift in the strawberry fields. He loved seeing them grow, only to pick and pack them for a huge order placed by a local farmers market. Their growth can also be attributed to the music played by the satyrs' reed pipes and there was two this time to help out. He doesn't talk to them as much as he would like to so he wasted no time in doing so. He knew they're responsible for searching for demigods and bringing them here so rarely he saw one. And if he did, he must have been distracted in his own schedule. After having a brief conversation with both of them, he elected to pick out the strawberries and place them in a vacant, wooden box. It was a rectangle made up of wood grown in the woods, crafted finely by the children of Athena and those who helped. He decided it would be nice to go door-to-door in the cabins and hand out strawberries.

The young man finally reached Cabin 15, evident on the wreath made of red poppies that hung in the door. Hypnos' symbol also hung from the mantel and anyone could discern from the mud walls. He's never been inside but many know that it won't be difficult to fall asleep. It's a rule to not let other campers inside their cabin, but knowing the gods' symbolism, Luca had no doubt he might be right. He wouldn't be surprised to find the camper who answered the door be drowsy. He knocked anyway. Only one way to find out. @ Elena Miller

Since the day she came at camp, she hadn't met anyone else other than her siblings. She just went out for food then came back to her cabin to sleep as her eyes couldn't open anymore. Elena could notice new campers had come at the camp and her siblings had increased but she was too shy to make a new friend. Even she didn't talk much when she was awake, she didn't really feel lonely. In the dreams, she could talk to her moms or her satyr friend. Sleeping here made her comfortable than at home, maybe it's because she didn't scare a monster would chase her when she was asleep. However, when it was early in the morning, a knock woke her up. She opened her eyes immediately, her brows knitted, she looked at the door and got out from her bed. She ran her hand through her hair so she didn't look like a mess and opened the door. A guy was standing outside with a box of strawberries, this must be a child of Demeter. She had heard that they delivered fruits every morning after harvest. "Hello. What can I do for you?", she asked, her eyes couldn't take off the delicious fruits.

Luca waited for someone to open the door, completely okay if it does not open. The children of Hypnos is an enigma to him but he was slightly jealous that they are allowed to sleep all day when most of the other campers have their own schedules. Camp Half-Blood is certainly a safe haven, but he couldn't imagine himself staying here forever. He's held a train-life balance since he's arrived where the other athletically-inclined campers tend to work harder. He continued to grip the box on its sides, glancing behind him to see the other campers just strolling by, chatting with their friends, or even preparing to train. The morning sun continued to shine on the valley so his mood is considerably good at the moment.

And finally, the door to the cabin in front of him opened. It appeared to be a girl younger than him. She looked awfully presentable if she was in bed before then. "Hey, good morning. Sorry to interrupt your sleep. I just wanted to hand out strawberries to the campers if they wanted a morning snack. You want some? Oh, and let your siblings know too." Luca began with a cordial tone. In no way he was forcing nature's candy into someone else, but he thought it was a good idea to take initiative. "If not, that's okay. I can move onto the next cabin."

When Elena opened the door, she could hear other campers chatting about the activity the just practiced while the weather was warm enough for a trip or picnic. The light from outside was too shine for her, the person just got out from bed. She rubbed her eyes to be familiar with the light then blinked a few times. The guy standing at the door looked so energetic, someone who always exercised, trained while she was opposite to him. She wanted to have a nice bed, sleep most of the time, if she had to go outside, the spot behind a tree was a perfect place. Elena tilted her head when he offered her the strawberries, watched behind him to see if there was anyone with him. He had gone alone so it must be tired to go from the bid house to each cabins. "It's okay. But next time please don't come so early. We are not early bird", Elena giggled at the fact she just said, "They look so fresh. Are they just picked out?". The child of Hypnos took the box from his hands, "Thank you anyway. We would love to have some snack in our cabin. I'm always starving when I wake up"
