"We have already asked you to come to us if you wished to do something that isn't on the schedule. You choosenot to so the sparing matches we had plan will be rescheduled. You are not allowed in anyone else's cabin. It is clear we can not trust you." The counselors announced.

*James nodded at Cecilia's words, agreeing that anything happening to anyone would be a rather bad thing. He wasn't going to bring up himself just yet, it was easy to see she was nervous and anxious about the sparring. But he was curious if she meant Neric included or if she was worried about him, if she was worried about him in general then it would be flattering. But doubt it's the latter* "Well, I wouldn't want anyone else getting hurt either. I'll gladly be the one taking the pain over my friends." *Looking back at Cecilia with a smile as he sat down at the campfire*

@KatherinWinter

*Though upon hearing the Counselors words, he was a tad bit disappointed and rather surprised. Though James shouldn't be, they have shown so far that they know almost everything going on. But it did slightly aggravate him that they are punishing everyone if they knew that some of us had ideas. If they knew they should be punishing those who had the ideas so they could learn while watching the others have fun. But it's their camp, their rules it seems. But the fight didn't happen, it was just talked about. Someone could have easily came to the counselors and tried to talk to them, it was just maybe ten or so minutes ago barely. Ten or so minutes ago too long it seems as he sits back slowly, listening to the counselors words with a blank expression*

Valencia kept blushing as she stood next to Max and hold his hand. Just before she closed her eyes the counsellors called everyone to gather at the fire pit. Valencia was a little disappointed that they needed to go. "Lets go to the fire pit before the counsellors get angry. I think that they are a little angry already." Valencia spoke with a louder voice than before and looked at Max. In her eyes you could she that she was disappointed. Still holding his hand Valencia grabbed her back. "We should continue if we get some free time." As she spoke Valencia gives Max his back. She looked at him and began to walk to the fire pit while she was still holding his hand

[Blueflame]

@Vampy "yeah ok" max said disappointed too. 'oh well I can later' max thought to himself as he realized she was still holding his hand. He blushes a very bright red 'its a new record. Me blushing this many times in the matter of minutes'. He was smiling despite the fact he was still blushing.

[Vampy]

@Blueflame

As they arrived at the fire pit most of the others where already there and the counsellors didn't look all to happy. Valencia looked for a place to sit saw that the bench behind the big logs was still empty. When she wanted to sit down she realized that she was still holding hands with Max and her face became even more red again. Valencia looked at Max and saw that his face was almost as red as hers so she lets go of his hand before it became even more awkward then it already was.

[Blueflame]

@Vampy "lets find a seat" max said as Valencia let go of his hand. He looked at her and saw her face very red. 'wow she is really cute like this, wait why am I thinking like this.' max Thought as he saw the bench open behind some big logs. "come on" he said as he went to go sit down.

[Vampy]

@Blueflame

Valencia nodded as she followed Max to the bench. She took off her backpack and sits down next to him. Valencia didn't say anything. As she looked up to Max when their eyes met she quickly looked down to the ground. *Why can't I just look normal at him. I mean I've studied a lot of people so why can't I look at him any more without hiding my face.* she thought to her self and took a deep breath. Valencia began to think about it. *wait I'm blushing way to hard... doesn't that.... No, but .... It can't be something else.* Valencia began to smile a little and looked up from the ground. * I... I like him.* and with that thought she got a warm feeling she knew that she was sitting right next to him. Valencia felt with her hand her cheek, it was warm from all the blushing.

[Blueflame]

As there eyes met he looked away but out of the corner of his eye Max saw Valencia put her hand on her cheek. He began to think. His face was really warm and red around her, she could make him blush very easily, he thought she was cute. That's when he finally came to a conclusion that made him blush more. He liked her. He Tryed to focus on something else to make the very apparent blush on his face go away.

"Since we can not have the activity we had we will have to find another way to end the day. But first wr want to teach you some stills that you need for surviving in the woods. We will start with cannoeing. You may pick a partner or we will select one for you." The counselors announced.

[Blueflame]

@Vampy "um sense we have to pick a partner how about me and you Valencia" max said smiling as he looked over at her. He honestly hoped she said yes because Valencia was really the only one he knew.

Edmond smirked when Helena mentioned the nickname he gave her."Well, is it alright if i call yah Hele then?" He was a little worried that she would not like the name. He was actually quite surprised that he made the name up. They continue to walk to the fire pit as Cecilia and James followed.

They arrived at the fire pit to have the counselors waiting for them. Helena then raised her hand and asked if other students were aloud to go to other cabins. Edmond felt a surge of hope, but then frowned as the counselor said no. But they we're gonna learn some new moves so that may be exciting, Edmond thought. He then looks at Helena and nudges her arm with his elbow with a raised eyebrow and a smirk on his face. "Sence we can't hang, why don't you be my partner?" Edmond asked with a little bit of humor laced in his voice.

[Vampy]

@Blueflame

Valencia looked up to Max when he spoke about the next activity to by his partner. "Yes." she answered quickly after he said it with a softer voice. Her cheek was still red but it was less than a few minutes ago. Valencia was really happy that he asked her. She smiled at him not only because she was happy but also because she was exited to do something like that. *But wait if we're going cannoing don't you need to wear some swimming clothes?* the thought made her face slightly more red. Valencia shook her head and decided to wait for further instructions.

[1Hawkeyes]

@SoulEater

Helena felt bad for being part of the reason that the original activity was canceled. Did that mean their spar was canceled? She figured so, but would ask the others later and be sure to ask the councilors for permission, perhaps for them to overwatch and make sure everyone was safe. Edmond's words brought her back to reality, and she chuckled, "Hmm, I'll make the exception for you, you can call me Hele." The councilors then mentioned canoeing and partners. Helena looked at Edmond and nodded to his partner offer, "Yeah, for sure that sounds like fun." Everyone had a partner- James and Cecilia, Valencia and Max, and Ivy and Kyle. She wondered how the two fire users- Ed and Ivy- would fair in the water. "Do you like water?" she found herself asking Edmond.

[Mangrale]

@LiegeLord
Cecilia nodded, smiling a little more. She knew he was trying to cheer her up and, with Neric at his side, may be safer than she'd think, although she wasn't a fan of all the damage being directed at him. Even a "normal" fight didn't exactly sit well with her, but saying so might make her sound like a buzzkill. Edmond and Helena sounded more into the idea, but Cecilia imagined that she'd be nervous watching them fight as well. Things could get out of hand so easily. "Okay, but whatever happens, just try and be careful, alright?" she said lightly, but still marked with genuine concern. After hearing about his past, she wasn't in a hurry to see James hurt in any way. Her response to the couselors' reprimand isn't worth consideration, but she was intrigued by their mention of canoeing and the need for partners. She was sitting near James and wondered if he had a partner in mind. "Um James? Do you know who you'll want to go with?," she innocently inquired. She would like to go with him, but wanted to see whether or not he would rather partner with someone else first.

[LiegeLord]

@Mangrale

"Thanks, I'll be careful Cecilia." *He smiles as he looks to her, looking away back at the counselors with the smile still on his face. It was nice to see Cecilia happy about wanting him to be safe, showed she cared about her friends. Or could it have been more? James wouldn't know that, but when the Counselors spoke about canoeing he was curious at first. Thinking a bit, though curious who would want to be a partner of his till Cecilia spoke up. James looking to her, smiling softly and replying to her question* "Actually, if you wanted to be partners. But if you had anyone else in mind I wouldn't wanna push." *Not wanting to be opposing, but showing he would like to be partners with her. Smiling softly still after as he waits for her response*

[SoulEater]

@1Hawkeyes

"Well thank you, Hele." Edmond winked as she let him use the given name. He liked the way the name rolled of his tongue as he said it at the end of his sentence. She then agreed to be his partner for the activity. Edmond then smiles and moves to sit on a log near the fire. He lays his palm flat over the fire as his other hand rest on his cheek. Edmond was so distracted by the fire that he didn't hear Helena ask about him liking water. But he sure didn't miss hearing the word water coming out of her mouth. Edmond quickly moved his hand out of the fire and looked up at Helena with a scared face. "What about water? Is the activity involving water?! Im not afraid of water what are you talking about, hehe. I love the way it...it...smells?" Edmond ranted as he moved his eyes around to avoid contact with Helena or anyone else.

[Mangrale]

@LiegeLord
"I don't actually. I'd love to go with you James, i-if you don't mind having someone who hasn't gone canoeing before," she responded gladly. She looked around, finding that the others were pairing off as well. After the counselors stated the rule regarding campers not going in cabins of the opposite gender, she was glad that kind of separation didn't apply to group activities like this. She wondered if a change of clothes would be necessary for canoeing, but she figured, if nothing else, a life vest should do in a pinch. Turning back to James and Neric with a growing smile, she believed her inexperience wouldn't have bothered them that much. But there was always a chance that they had a competitive side she didn't know about.

Helena watched Edmond put his hand in the fire, momentarily forgetting his powers granted him the immunity to do this. "Oh yeah?" she teased, "I can do that too." She quickly slashed her hand across the fire, feeling its warmth, but not close enough to bring burned. She was very fond of fire, so she learned this trick at a young age. It was great for entertaining little kids. At his bumbling words, Helena smirked a bit. "Hey, don't worry, it's on a little boat and you row across the water." She wished she could give him the comfort of her having experience on canoes, but she couldn't. "Besides if you fall in I'll help you, alright?" Saying this, she hoped he didn't hear Valencia, Cecilia, and her conversation earlier when she mentioned she couldn't swim well.

[LiegeLord]

@Mangrale

"Alright, that makes us partners then." *Smiling softly at her words, though James couldn't help but chuckle a bit as Cecilia stammered after her saying she'd love to be his partner. May just be trying to open up. James speaking softly as he looked away* "I ain't the best either, actually never have went canoeing. Though Neric has when-" *Stopping himself as he thinks, maybe it's not the best idea to bring up too much of Neric's past. May not be the best day either, so may not be a good idea. Especially since most of it is military, and he already gave away enough to Helena and Edmond that he knew Hitler. So they probably know he's at least old enough to be from World War 2* "Ehh... ya he may know from his past, let's leave it at that. But I'll be there to catch you if you try falling in or to pull you out." *James said with a smile back at her*
