Wisteria walked to the courtyard, needing a bit of human interaction. She had spent the majority of the morning on the shores of Zephyros' creek, needing to talk to her dad. She knew that he didn't respond much, but he told her that he listened in the sounds of the waves, of his voice in her head.

Wisteria noticed Autumn as she moved and she smiled, moving towards her. "Hey, I'm Wisteria. Daughter of Poseidon. What about you?" She wasn't sure if she necessarily recognized the girl sitting in front of her, but she knew that there was nothing wrong with introducing herself.

Wisteria grinned. "I love Iris. I think she got an awesome thing to be the patron of. I've used my drachmas to send messages through her before. It's really awesome. I like it better than Hermes' postal service anyways. Anyways. What do you like to do? Is that a journal?'

Wisteria gasped. "Wow, that's so cool. I can embroider, sew, and crochet, but I've never been awesome at drawing. Is it like a private sketchbook, or could I see one?' She knew it was a lot to ask of someone that she just met, but she loved getting to see other people's work.

Wisteria smiled, excited. She hadn't really expected her to show her anything. She swung her legs absentmindedly, taking in the chaos of most of the cabins around her. She loved being Poseidon's daughter, well, because of the awesome water powers, but also because his cabin was detached from the rest, right on the shoreside of Zephryos' creek and the lake.

Her face lit up, taking it in. "Wow," she breathed, amazed at the skill. "This is incredible!" she remarked, unable to help herself. She knew that she had stood at that very valley, watching the sun set more times than she could count. "I really love this. It's somewhere I frequent, so I know how everything looks, and you captured it beautifully."
"I totally get it. I spend a lot of time on my embroideries, so I can appreciate the work put in. Do you have something you normally draw, landscapes like that? Can you sketch people? I'm decent with simple designs, I suppose, but not with people. They look like- I don't even know - just mishappen."

"That's cool though. That you can see someone quickly and get enough of them on your paper for them to be recognizable." Wisteria smiled dazzlingly at Autumn, "Thank you so much! That really means a lot."
Seeing Autumn's blush, Wisteria's face also got a delicate pink tinge around her cheekbones.

"Seven years. What about you?" Wisteria asked, a small smile on her face.
"I get that. I'm 16. It feels like it's been my whole life. It's a completely different everything from the normal world. Where do you usually spend time here?" Wisteria inquired, wondering what other people managed to do. Wisteria ran a lot, was by the water often to talk to her dad and practice.

"That's nice," Wisteria said. "I like walking around a lot too. There's just so much to see. I go to the strawberry fields often and the arts and crafts tent. Sometimes the projects are dumb, but it's nice to use them as decoration in my cabin."
Wisteria smiled, glad that someone thought so. "Thanks. I love my dad's decor too, of course, I just like seeing the other parts of me too. I'm not all sea, if you know what I mean."
"Right now, it's only me and Auggie. He's not around much." Wisteria said softly. Sometimes it was a bit lonely, if she was being honest with herself.
Wisteria smiled, "Yeah, sure. Are there any other people in Iris' cabin right now?" She was curious. She hadn't seen many children of Iris at camp and wondered if maybe she was just missing them.
"I get that. I prefer to be around people sometimes, but it's also nice to go back and only have one other person that sometimes wants to talk for sure." Wisteria remarked. She used to be more of an extrovert, but it got harder after her mother died.

"Sibling fights are the ugliest types because you're supposed to love them through everything. I guess I do. Just interesting. Do you have any close friends that I might know?" Wisteria inquired, curious.
Wisteria nodded, "I get that. Me neither. I like spending most of my time alone too." She hadn't meant to make Autumn uncomfortable as it appeared she had.

"I like Athena, Demeter, and Hebe's. What about you?" she inquired, looking at the walls of Hebe's cabin, watching as the paint changed colors as people tapped it.
![✧˚ · an ungraceful swan · ˚✧](https://images.gr-assets.com/users/1700946810p1/150154508.jpg)
"Yes, I love how they all have their own touches. I really like Hebe, the inside is awesome. She has all these dividers for privacy and they're bigger than most of the other cabins," Wisteria remarked.

"Yeah. I think I got lucky, with my cabin near the water. It's a little bit more detached than the rest of the cabins and the water is so soothing." Wisteria said.

"I used to be afraid of water, believe it or not. It's different when you can control it, I guess. That's what changed it all for me. And when I go in, some sea animals come up and go around me, so that's soothing too. It's like my dad is talking to me in whatever way he can, so that helped me get used to it," Wisteria said, smiling.
Wisteria nodded. "Do you want to do something? I get kind of restless after sitting for awhile. We could go to the shores of the lake and just sit or I don't know, whatever," she said softly, not sure what to do.
"Where do you want to go? Is the lake good. We don't have to get in, of course," Wisteria said, grinning.
