Stella got onto the train with Niah and Jason. She did agree with Niah and Jason that she wished that they could do something more about the basilisks but there really wasn't much they could do if they wanted to catch the train. However given that they were getting on the train with mortals she really couldn't say anything aloud about that. She kept a hold of Arbor as they got onto the train, and petted his head softly as they found their way to the compartment.

It seemed that someone was on their side as they got to keep the sleeping compartment that they had before. Inside she heard the announcement and relaxed more into the seat, and smiled a bit as they were told that they would be able to eat in the dining car. "Oh that will be nice... when do you think we'll get to eat?" She gently managed to get Arbor to relax in her lap, and set her bag next to her as she pet him more.

Stella smiled as she watched the interaction between Niah and Jason. From what she had gathered, it didn't seem that the Roman and Greek demi-gods didn't get along and yet, her travel companions were getting along well. She gently tugged the leash to let Arbor know that it was time to move, and headed towards the hotel entrance and left the building with Niah and Jason. She had made sure that her backpack was snug on her back, and headed across the street to the train station.

It seemed their train would be leaving in ten minutes and that the rest of the ride would take three days if they were lucky. Which, they didn't seem to be at this rate. Lucky would be them not being attacked by monsters for the rest of the ride, but it seemed some force wanted to keep them from getting to New Rome in one piece. The train was boarding, so she smiled and turned to her companions once more. "Looks like we can get on the train!" She went to go board, hoping they still had their private compartment once again.

Stella was glad that they would be leaving the hotel, as it had been a rough night, and she was eager to get back on their journey to the West Coast again. They were probably behind the other groups on their journeys and she was sure that Niah was eager to get home too. She kept ahold of Arbor's leash, so that he didn't run off at that point. "Thank you again for everything." She smiled to the receptionist before leaving with Jason and Niah, and went to head to the station.

She was hoping that their train was going to be on time, as they had gotten up nice and early, just to make sure. She could tell that once they got on the train, she was probably going to pass out for a while. She would probably cuddle up with her pupper and snuggle in nice and close and nap with him. That sounded good, at least she hoped that nothing would happen to ruin that plan.

Stella was happy that she had decided to keep quiet, as Jason and Niah handled it perfectly. The housekeeper bought it, and seemed to believe that a spider had caused so much panic. They would leave a bit of money for the hotel, to try to help cover the damages, and that was really all they could do. She gently urged on Arbor, having finished putting the leash on him. She patted his head and followed the two older demigods downstairs so that they could check out and head to the railway station. They needed to continue their journey, and make it New Rome, and soon.

She did notice the basilisk slither its way outside, but there wasn't much they could do about it, aside from try to chase it down and miss their train. She decided to keep letting Jason and Niah handle things, as she was sure the adults really wouldn't want to deal with a twelve year old when it came to check out time. She kept Arbor close, even as he growled lowly and wanted to chase the snake like creature. She patted his head more, trying to assure him that it would be fine.

Stella continued to keep quiet at that point, which was probably for the best. Her throat still hurt quiet a bit, and she still felt a bit shaky after the attack. She wasn't even sure she could have come up with the story about a massive spider, even if that was so clearly a lie. She had a bruise forming around her neck that no spider could really leave, and she was still trying to hide it at that point. Arbor sat at her side, nuzzling her and licking her hand softly to reassure her.

Between Jason's story and Niah's reassurances, the housekeeper was assured enough to just let it go without too many more questions and seemed to wave them off. Perhaps it was because she had a lot of work ahead of her making the room ready for the next guest? They would never know, and Stella wasn't going to question it. She did nod when Niah suggested they leave some money for the repairs, even if it wasn't going to be that much. They needed to catch their train, and quick. She gathered up her supplies and attached the leash to Arbor and got ready to leave with the older two demigods.

Stella gently patted Arbor as the pup shook the now dead basilisk in his grasp before spitting it out, and growling a bit. There were no more creatures to deal with at that moment, thanks to Jason's quick thinking, and Stella sat up and rubbed at her neck a bit. She was still recovering a bit at that point so she didn't dare talk too much, but she did finally pick herself up off the ground and pet her pups head more, to get him to fully calm down now that the threat was over.

She paused as she heard the other voice and looked up to see housekeeping, but actual housekeeping this time. A mortal, that was there to check in on them and offering assistance. She wasn't sure how to answer or if she should even answer. She probably had some bruising around her neck that was forming already, and it seemed that the woman was going for a first aid kit. So, Stella turned to look at the other two, letting them speak as the two older and more experienced demi-gods.

Stella could hear the hissing intensify as they got closer to the crate until the basilisks seemed to free themselves and launched from the crate. She didn't really have much of a warning as one landed on her and started to wrap around her neck, attempting to choke her. She raised her hand and attempted to grasp at the creature, clawing at it to get it off. It was as if she had forgotten she had access to a weapon, or to her powers or anything else as she tried to wrest the creature from around her neck and was failing. She could feel that it was starting to get harder and harder to breath with every moment.

Arbor did not forget that he had access to some very important tools in his arsenal and left forward to defend his mistress. He jumped up and latched on with his teeth and managed to tear the creature away from around the neck of the young woman, and whipped it around in his jaws as he growled. Stella gasped as it became easier to breath again and looked over at her puppy and smiled softly. "Good...boy..." She could only whisper out softly.

Thankfully they stored those awful snakes away in the Bathroom, so Arbor did calm down enough so that when her turn came, Stella could get some sleep. She was curled up with her pupper, using him as a bit of a pillow, but he was also using her as a pillow as well. It did seem that their luck wasn't holding out for too much longer once the morning came and they found that the crate had some small holes in it, and it seemed that a few had escaped by that point. Stella rubbed her eyes sleepily as she watched the basilisk slip into the vent and then groaned a bit as she looked up at the two older demi-gods.

"Sadly I don't think we can let them run amuck, as they are causing property damage. We might have to... send them to Tartarus... I know it's not their fault that they're here, but we can't just leave them here for the mortals to deal with." She was petting Arbor's ears again to having him calm down again, as he was starting to get riled up again. She did feel bad for the creatures, but she knew that they couldn't stay on the mortal plane, not here in this hotel.

Stella watched as the crate of hissing and spitting basilisks was brought into their room, and heard Arbor growl lowly at that point. She walked over to her pup at that point and started to pet him gently to calm him. They didn't need the situation to get worse at that point, with the animals spitting and barking at one another. She continued to rub her pupper as she moved to sit back down on the couch, and let Arbor snuggle in close to her.

"You can both go back to sleep for a while longer. It hasn't been been more than an hour or so. I don't mind being up for a bit longer, and I want to make sure that Arbor isn't going to start something with the other creatures." She gently ran her fingers through his leaves as she sat there, and looked up at the older two. She could tell that Niah had probably used a bit of energy using the Mist, and the fight had given Stella enough adrenaline to be awake for the rest of her shift.

Stella made sure to hang back as Niah and Jason set to work on taking down the basilisk and the cyclopes holding the creature. She did blush softly when Niah praised her for her good job on using the plant to tie up the creature. Thankfully, Niah took out the basilisk and Jason took out the cyclopes, and that left them with no more creatures in the room to deal with at that point. She gently set the plant down and pet it softly, silently thanking it for it's duty. She doubted that it survive, as it might have gotten hit with acid.

She looked up when she saw Jason by the door, and heard what he said. "We're going to get blamed for the acid huh? Is there anyway we can make it look like it didn't happen? Or wait... the door is too far damaged huh?" She frowned as she looked at the hotel door, noticing the lock was completely dissolved. There was one other problem that she did notice, and that was that Arbor was still growling a bit. "Arbor, what's wrong boy?" She walked over and started petting him softly, trying to calm him.
