Accalia did her best not to roll her eyes. There was nothing wrong with being curious. She had been one of the most curious people in the world before she got her recent and unfortunate attitude adjustment. She looked back at the horizon to answer, "just a ship. I have no idea where in the world it is, literally, but I thought this would be a good start," she scoffed. She had been acting like her old helpless, hopeful and pathetic little self when she accepted the telescope. She had even gotten excited for a moment. Typical.
His handshake was a good one, at least as far as she could tell. He seemed to be a lot more composed than she was giving him credit for at the start. She nodded at his comment about Fred, "thanks. I don't think he's met a single person that he didn't like right away. But, he eventually forms his own opinions," she nodded to Fred as well. He seemed to know that they were talking about him because his tail was wagging and his ears were perked up happily.

Accalia nodded and smiled at his description of poison Ivy, "I like that. But probably no killing humans. Or demi-gods for that matter," she added. She wasn't really into killing at all. Why would someone who loved plants want to destroy other forms of life? Wasn't being a plant lover about loving nature and the order of things? Poison Ivy needed to take a chill pill and read a few pages out of Acclais 'how to be a plant lover' guidebook. Not that she'd ever actually write a book.
Accalia cocked an eyebrow and paused before answering his next little explanation as to why he doesn't create things. "Uh huh..." she wasn't sure how she felt about the 'women' part of that explanation but it would have to wait. Something else was up, "Wait, how long have you been alive?" she asked, realizing that he had implied living longer than a normal person. Maybe he was just saying it cuz he was like thirty or something.
Accalia acknowledged his pat on the bed but didn't oblige. She placed herself on the floor in front of him, about three feet way. She straightened her legs in front of her and crossed her ankles, supporting herself with her hands. "What's there to know, Zeo?" she asked.

Accalia stepped out of the Demeter cabin and stretched. A new day had dawned for her to do nothing useful with her life and waste time away in this place. Great. She rolled her eyes at herself, "Oh lighten up," she muttered. She glanced around the circle of cabins, nothing really seemed out of the ordinary today. Which was a shame becau- she stopped mid thought. The a small cluster of trees seemed to be whispering to her, passing a messages through the grass. Something was over there, something they wanted her to see. At least, that's what she assumed the message was. She probably just imagined it, grass couldn't really talk. The Satyrs would disagree about that though...
She stood, slowly making her way over to the area that she felt was calling to her. What was it? A monster? She hadn't even grabbed her weapons. She had nothing but her cam shirt, shorts and a few plants around to help her out. She had become pretty good at using plants as a defensive technique, though, so she'd probably be fine. As the picture started to become clearer Accalia stopped about twenty feet from the scarfed person who peered at her through the trees.
"Oh my gods." Accalia muttered, breathlessly.

She shook her head and chuckled a little at his comment, "Poison Ivy... I like that. Isn't she a super villain?" she cocked an eyebrow at him as she closed the vines behind him. Light bled through the leaves surrounding the hideout, it gave of a sort of amber glow and was a little dim. It was cozy, nap-worthy. Sometimes she even fell asleep in there and woke up the next morning. That didn't happen very often though, considering she fear that monster might rip the hideout apart and eat her in her sleep.
She cocked her head to the side as he went on his spiel about the desk. He really showed a different side of himself there for a moment. "You should. Creating things always makes me feel better," she spoke softly. It was true. This hideout had been her number one place for experimenting with plants, hence why she was getting better and better at it every day. Sure, she had stopped wearing flowers in her hair, but that didn't mean her love for plants had died along with that.
Next, he passed her to the shrubbery bed. She smiled and walked over, standing beside it. "Go ahead, lay on it. It's really comfortable," she said gesturing to the bed.

As he demonstrated different ways as to how he would knock, she just stood there with her arms at her sides, glaring. She sighed loudly and put a hand to her forehead, shaking her head. Then she looked back up at him as he gave that little grin and stepped back beside the entrance to her hideout. "I'm thinking knocking on the tree would work, sure." She'd most likely hear it from inside her vines, but she could also ignore it better than if he was yelling. It worked out well she decided.
She walked past him, careful to give herself some distance, she wasn't really planning on letting him touch her again. At least not without asking permission first. She stepped into the vines and stood, beckoning for him to come inside. The hideout was circular, green and cozy. There was a bed made out of different leaves and shrubbery, along with a desk made from tree roots twisting and bending into a beautiful shape. She had rearranged her hide out about six time in all her years at camp, but this was one of her favorites.

"I'll give you a tour. It's not that grand though, mind you, it's a pretty small tent-like place," she commented blatantly. He sure was determined, saying that he'd come knocking if she wasn't around camp. "What would you knock on?" she cocked an eyebrow at him with a playful smirk. Truthfully, she would be able to hear if he just yelled out since there wasn't really anything to knock on, but she wasn't going to tell him that.
Suddenly, he appeared next to her with his arm around her shoulders. She gave a little yelp and shoved him, side-stepping away, "Woah, woah," she said with a fierce glare, "No touchy!" She growled. She growls a lot lately, she noticed.

He winked.
Typical.
She just shook her head and rolled her eyes when he said that he would just 'get his relax on'. Boys. What a joke. She looked up at the tree momentarily. Okay, okay. It didn't look like it'd actually be that horrible to take a nap in.
She raised an eyebrow at him as he crossed his heart and promised. Why was she agreeing to this? She sighed, "Okay, turn around and to the left." The thick foliage of vines, bushes and leaves started to part ways, revealing a small entry way into her secret hide out. The vines weren't open wide enough for him to see anything but green inside, but she had a sweet set up in there.

Accalia shook her head and turned to face the voice, "No. I mean yes, but there's no way I'm going to find it," she said with a sigh. She wasn't in the mood to beat around the bush right now. She definitely wasn't going to act all cheery despite her bad mood, like she would have done in the past. No, better to just be up front and honest about everything. It was better than faking it.
She cocked an eyebrow at him as Frederick ran up to him, wagging his tail. The dog sat in front of the boy and stared at him with a big lopsided smile. "Fred seems to think you're okay," she started, taking a step away from the telescope. "I'm Accalia," she held out a hand to him but she didn't smile. She was acting more along the lines of someone who was just doing it for formalities sake.

Well, after that comment there was no way she was going to start taking him seriously. Though, a part of her believed that he was actually scared of the vines manifesting behind her. The vibes dropped in a split second and she's folded her arms. "fine. I will just wait until you leave before going back into my hide out."
She turned up her nose away from him.
But she felt a smile glimmer of humor playing at her lips. That was a sensation she hadn't made room for lately. But she forgot how funny Hermes kids could be. She tried to glare at him harder but she started to smile. Then she stomped her foot on the forest floor. "I'll show you if you promise not to tell!" she growled.

Now he was pouting. Great, this guy was a jokester. No doubt from his fathers side. Still... it wasn't entirely bad to have a jokester around, especially when she'd been in such a bad mood these past few weeks and wanted to destroy everything in site. Yeah. It was getting that bad.
She bit her lip a little as she contemplated her options, "Well, I could always, you know, just blindfold you and then lead you back to camp?" a few thick vines started raising up around her, easy for blindfolding. Though. she wasn't sure that she wanted to blindfold him against his will. He hadn't done anything to really hurt her, so she shouldn't ambush him.. should she?

"Well, that makes me glad," she said, but she didn't even bother to fake a smile. She was glad, sure, that he didn't know exactly how to get here. Or to get in her make shift hideout. She hadn't let a boy in there since... well, since Jacob. Which was a very, very long time ago as far as she was concerned. The thought made her stomach turn, and made her even more angry.
His laugh was really strange and she almost laughed along with him. She didn't. "Well, if it's a secret why would I show you how I hid it? Wouldn't that defeat the whole purpose?" She raised an eyebrow at him.

She took a step back as he swung upside down. He was practically eye level and he was looking like a bat. That was... odd. She sighed and shrugged her shoulders, folding her arms in front of her chest and cocking her head to one side, "I... Um..." She tried to keep a stern look on her face but she was too surprised to follow through. Her eyes widened for a moment until she shaped them into an intense glare, "that's not a good reason to go yelling above peoples secret hideouts." Whiiiiiich is now, not a secret. Now, the vines are too thick for someone to pass through without the ability to move them. Or cut them apart but that would be really mean.
When he jumped down she didn't flinch, but she didn't shake his hand either, "Accalia. Demeter."

Accalia had been hiding out in her fort by the lake in the forest when she heard a voice outside. Was someone... was someone talking to themselves? Accalia growled under her breath. She really wasn't in the mood for company. But... there was something about that voice that interested her. Or maybe the fact that he was planning on throwing a prank. She stepped out of the thick vines, which parted ways for her, and looked around. Odd. She didn't see anyone.
Then she looked up, and there was the guy just hanging out in a tree. Accalia cocked an eyebrow at him, "Hey, you. Could you keep it down up there?" she snapped.

Accalia had just acquired it with the help from a hunter of Artemis. Accalia was sure the gift was only given as a way to help recruit Accalia to the hunters, but she wasn't interested. The only problem was, Accalia wasn't sure how to set the darn thing up. Her dog, Frederick, ran around her ankles which didn't make the set up any easier. The telescope wasn't too big, but it was big enough to need a stand. Accalia got as close to the water as she could manage without getting too wet, the water was up to her ankles.
Finally she was able to get the telescope somewhat stable, even though it wasn't set up correctly. She put her eye to the hole and searched the horizon. She knew she wouldn't find anything. She had to depend completely on luck if she thought she was going to find him off the coast of New York. She laughed out loud to herself, and at her pathetic attempt.
