A Canoeing we will go!

[James Selway Rare Rare Rare]

James had stopped in the mess hall one night during the summer to see Katie who was one of the new campers this summer. He just wanted to see if she would like to go canoeing with him this weekend. James had planned for him to just talk to her and see how she was adjusting to the camp life. It was a joy of his to be there for the campers any way he could. Once they both agreed he told her that they would meet Saturday at noon by the canoeing dock. 

The day came so fast that James was scrambling a bit as he woke up and had to get some camp chores done first. But after finishing them he found his way to the lake which he loved to sit at. This is where he would come to sit and write songs when the campers all went some from the summer. But today he would be out on the lake having a bit of fun. Making it to the spot he stretched a bit as he looked around to see if she had made it just yet.

Katie has agreed to go out for canoeing at the lake with her past mentor James Selway this weekend. She was excited about it as it was another leisure time she could spend at camp. She was actually getting a little overwhelmed with classes and daily training activities. But she got used to the camp environment and her family as time goes. She made way to the lake remembering the direction to the place somewhat near the sea area but quieter she thought. It was also a place for some kids who loved reading and drawing by the lake, well she was one of them too. She spotted James waiting by the lake and headed towards him, looking around to see the canoe nearby. "Heya! Hope you haven't been waiting too long."

James knew that camp could be a lot for a new camper to take in with training and camp duties. Which is why he wanted to check in on Katie to see how she was doing. James had been the one to welcome her to the camp earlier this year but had not really kept up with her too much. This could be a good chance for him to check in on her to make sure she was okay at least. Seeing Katie, James waved at her with his big smile on his face. " Katie it's so good to see you and no worries I just got here a bit ago making sure we had the stuff for our Canoeing today."  He looked over to the boats and then waved her to follow him.

Walking up to the dock he had already prepared a boat for them with some paddles. Smiling he then grabbed ahold of the caneo to steady it for her to get in when she was ready. "I will let you go first" a smile on his face said he was ready for adventure.

Katie smiled at James who was a bit more taller than her. She thought the camp really did a good job training the demigods to become a stronger person each day. She was glad that the canoe was ready and good to go as James had prepared. This would be her first time riding a canoe at the lake. ”Thanks James.” She walked towards the boat as he gestured her to first, carefully not to slip into the waters below. She waited for him to ride on next while holding on to the paddles for balance. Eeep, she hoped they wouldn’t get into any lake accident today. It was a clear day today and the waters were calm as usual so she thought it would be great to have a little chatting in the midst of the lake.

James knew that he enjoyed spending time with the campers, he just hoped they enjoyed it back as he tried to come up with fun things to do. Making sure to hold the canoe steady for Katie as she got in he did the same as he had done this many times. Thinking back he knew the faces of the older campers that had been this person for him as he grew up at camp. He was thankful for them and missed them quite a lot lately as he wished they were around to help him out. "Thanks Katie" he said as he grabbed a paddle. 

Turning to give Katie his smile he hoped this would soothe her of any worries. "Okay together we paddle okay? We can take it nice and slow if you like." he tried to make sure she knew it was going to be okay. As he began to slowly paddle through the calm lake. The air was one of stillness as he began to speak "So Katie, how was your first summer here at camp?" He wanted to give her the space to talk about the things she might have liked or disliked. It was a lot to take in after all!
