Stella listened to what Andy said and nodded. "Small gathering, but with you not as the center of attention. I think we can do that... and I can make a cake for you then. No song, and not a lot of people." Stella offered a small smile to her friend and gently pet Arbor more at that point. She was glad to hear there was a kitchen in the Big House, that she could probably use. She would make a point of asking Chiron later, since Mr. D sometimes still seemed to grumble around campers it seemed.

She wanted to ask Andy if there was anyone she wanted there... but she felt it was probably wrong to ask such a thing in the moment. She curled up a bit more and wiggled her toes into the sand. She wasn't sure what else to say. She knew Andy had it rough, and there was probably someone she wanted there more than anyone. They didn't talk about him a lot, but Stella knew that Andy and Arthur had been the best of friends.

Stella looked over at her friend and raised her brow a bit. The fact that she didn't like her birthday until last year, that didn't seem like a good time. She gently pet Arbor lovingly and scratched behind his ear softly, and nuzzled up against him lovingly. She was trying to think of something she could do to help make her friend's birthday better. Arbor nuzzled into the pets he was getting and murred happily, relaxing more at that point.

"Would us doing something for your birthday help make it better? I could try making my dad's cake... ...if I got access to the kitchens. Wait where can we cook? I know we have the right ingredients, as we have plenty of strawberries. I'm sure someone won't mind if I use a few for a cake." Stella smiled softly as she looked at her friend, and leaned up against her knees a bit.

Stella was glad they had reached the beach, and leaned down to remove her shoes and socks and held them in her left hands. She let the sand gently work between her toes as she took each step, and warm up the soles of her feet. She gently wiggled her toes with each step, and let the sensation warm her up, and comfort her. She was glad that she had the option to go home if she really wanted, but she wasn't really to leave Andy alone yet. Especially with her birthday coming up.

She sat down on the ground and gently pet Arbor and ran her hands along his back lovingly. She was glad for the reassurances that everything would work out, but would it? "Thank you Kristin. How are you doing, Andy? Wanna pet Arbor a bit?" She looked over at her friend, and gently tilted her head a bit. She could tell that there was something on her mind, but she didn't want to pry too deeply, make her feel like she had to talk.

"Oh! Otou-san means father. I have two dads... Papa and Otou-san. And a goddess mother." Stella looked over at Andy as she explained the meaning of the words she had used to her friend. She guessed she had never really explained to her before what the word meant when she had mentioned it, or it had never really come up. She looked to Kristin as she explained that she could go home, she could be a part time camper, and she looked over at Andy.

"I... I could be part time, but... I don't think I could do that right now. Not until this quest is over, and once we're sure that certain people are back here." Stella knew that Andy had two people in the underworld at the moment, and they were going to rescue one of them soon. The other? Well, Stella had no idea when he'd be returning. But she wasn't going to leave her new friend alone, no way.

"I'll make sure to leave a nice offering for mom later for the gift then... Super handy." Stella smiled softly as she moved to gently fold up the cloak and tuck it away in her little bag, since she had brought it with her. She had planned to garden so she had her garden tools on her, so it made sense that she would bring her own supplies to do so. Arbor followed them all and kept close to them all. "Let's go to the beach then."

"Oh yeah, I'm liking it here at camp, even if I am missing some things... like being able to see my otou-san's flower instagram. I really wish we could interact with technology more. But the gardening here is amazing! And the sights, the creatures, the strawberries! Oh the strawberries are amazing!" She turned with the group towards the beach as they all walked together, happy for the reprieve from her reoccurring nightmares, and the upcoming quest to the Underworld.

"I don't mind doing some training instead of going for a walk, just as long as it doesn't wipe me out too much. I do want to do some gardening today as well." Stella smiled softly as she looked at Andy, and noticed that she looked embarrassed. "Hey, it is okay that you got mixed up... it happens to us all from time to time." She offered her friend a small smile at that point and then listened to Andy as she spoke. "Oh, walk then training also sounds good to me! That way we get to do all three things!"

She grinned wider at that point when a cloak floated down and seemed to land on her, and then wrap around her a bit. As it did, it seemed to make her vanish for a moment from view. She gently unwrapped it from around herself, and folded it up in her hands. "Oh wow... this will come in handy... for what is to come. I'm sure." She remembered that they were probably going to go to the Underworld next... at least that was what she had heard someone say.

"Oh, we're going from a walk to training? Or was I misinformed on what we were going to do? I don't mind if we're going to do training instead." Stella was pretty sure Andy had asked her to go on a walk, but maybe something had gotten miscommunicated. She would be the first to admit that she probably needed more training, especially with her scythe. She knew it did help her focus her ability with plants more, but she wasn't sure if there was more to it than just that.

She gestured for Arbor to follow her as they went to the training arena. Thankfully it wasn't too far away from the dining hall, and would make for a short walk. Stella rubbed at her side where her weapon was, making sure she had it on her. She had grabbed it earlier, since she had been planning to do some work in the fields, so that had been a good plan. She wasn't sure if she really want to do sparring, but she also knew it was necessary.

Stella smiled softly when Eva said that she could go hang out with Andy, and nodded as she hopped up, and pet Arbor. "C'mon boy~ Let's go hang out with Andy~" She giggled happily and blinked as Andy ran over to her, and smiled, happily accepting the invite to join her and Kristin on a walk. She didn't know the older demi-god as well, but she was nice, and it would be fun to hang out with her.

She went over to the Athena table with Andy, Chocolate and Arbor and waved at Kristin softly. "Thanks for inviting me along~ I was planning on going out to the fields later, but I'm happy to go out on a walk. I think Arbor will appreciate it too." She gently pet the pup and he let out a soft bark of appreciation. He nuzzled in close, and then gently nuzzled Andy as well.

"I can wait~ Thank you Eva!" Stella brightened up at the idea of going to the field with her older sister. She did always feel better after being around plants and spending some time digging around in the dirt and helping the plants. Recently she had felt like she could hear little voices in the plants, but she wasn't sure why or how. Plants didn't talk, right? She had a feeling that she should ask Eva or her mother about it, but well...

She pet Arbor once more and then got up and went to offer some of her muffin to the fire to her mother. She asked for understanding as to why she was hearing those little voices among the plants, as well as maybe for help with her nightmares. She then looked over to Andy and waved to her before going back to her table, to sit and wait for her sister.

Stella picked a piece of bacon off the plate and slipped it to Arbor, whom happily munched on the crunch piece of tasty meat. Stella was still confused by the full anatomy and eating habits of her beloved pet, but it seemed for as much as he loved water and sunlight, he also appreciated meat it seemed, somewhere between being a real plant and a real wolf sometimes. Stella looked up as she heard her half-sister speak to her and offered her a small smile at that point.

"Hey. I slept alright." It wasn't a total lie, as the nightmares were getting less frequent, she wasn't having them near nightly, and she was sleeping through the night more frequently. "I was thinking of working in the strawberry field today, as I wanted to enjoy some time in the dirt and sun. Arbor is probably going to join me~" She reached down to pet her wolf and was rewarded with a small yip of affirmation.
