Dru watched the movie for a while. Normally she could have spent hours or a whole weekend wtaching movies but now she just felt exausted. For a good amount of time she watched, muttering a few lines in her head that she could remember from times before. It was a nice evening, the fire was warm, Fire was warm in her lap, everthing was warm. Heat always made her comfortable. The cold wasn't something she could stand and she easily got cold. Winters were the worst for her, she often didn't bother leaving her home in winter, whether there was snow or not. Now though, all the heat was just the right amount to get her too comfortable and she drifted to sleep.

Which of corse didn't end well. Two seconds later her arms were going limp, head heavy and wosh. Face to table.

Wow, Dru thought, That was smooth. She slowly lifted her face and rubbed her nose, it felt bruise but not enough to actually injure her. "Sorry.. I sorta.. yeah." she said awkwardly before laughing "Gods im a klutz even when im not moving." She stopped and looked around. It was getting pretty late she could tell, and she was honestly suprised no harpies had been here yet to hiss at them and suck their faces off.

Pretty much Dru couldn't keep her eyes off him. It wasn't that she was love at first sight it was just he was intresting to look at. His smile, his eyes, everything seemed intresting to her. She just smiled and took the tablet from him as she looked at what he picked, it was a good one, one of her favorites actually. She quietly took it and set it up right and jacked two pairs of head phones into it.

"Oh No no no." she said laughing slightly, "I don't do this too often I just couldn't sleep tonight" she said looking at the sky then back at her tablet "I'm not much of a night dweller, its too. Sterotypical of Hades kids" she said jokingly but meant it. All her family would be sulking about or shadow traveling out of camp. They were often called freed Birds from others because they could leave whenever and no one could really stop them. Trust her, you didn't want to run into a shadow travel. It was painful and could lead to death depending on the location. She didn't like to think about it.

She looked back at Jamie and handed him a pair of head phones, "Shall we?"

Oh geez, that wasn't a good idea. Dru inwardly smiled at him asking her about film. She could talk for ages about movies but she knew she shouldn't, it would be weird and probably freak him out. Movies always had comforted her. She loved seeing another world, something that could take people away from whatever they were facing, make them feel like this person had the same struggles you have in a different form though. Movies connected people and that's why she loved them.

"Well I'm not a good judge considering i don't know what kind of movies you like." she said, following in suit, setting her hot chocolate on the table. She no long felt she need it anyways. She gasped a little "Really? Movies are amazing though, at least in my opinion." she said, feeling a blush again due to her nearly rant about the spectacular things that are movies. She looked at him and noticed the smile on his face, her own widening. "With war movies it depends on the amount of Gore you can handle. Whether a small cut is too much or if you wouldn't flinch to a head being taken off." she said, not realizing how crazy she could have sounded right them. Well if he doesn't think shes weird he will just think shes a blood-raging psychopath. Peachy.

Dru nodded at his responce before noticing his looking dumbstuck at her ball of hellfire. "Oh sorry about that its just..well..you is its.. I better jsut show you." She said, sitting down across from him before bringing it on top of the table, fire close behind. "Fire, vide." She said, trying to get the little fox to show itself. He was being stubbern as ever though and didn't want to. "vide Fire, vide." Finally after a small glaring contest the she petted the foxes head and watched as he became more solid in her eyes, tho probably just enough so James could see him. He had to draw the power from Dru inorder to do so but it was enough to be seen. "This Fire, he is a slightly dead fox who just so happens to like to stalk me" She said messingly, seeing his tail flame up slightly in aggitation before he went back to casing his ball.

"But as me" she said trying to get the subject off her dead fox with a flaming tail as a pet thing going on, "Can't sleep so I was going to watch some movies and naturally hot chocolate is needed for any sucessful movie and sadly back in the Hades cabin we dont have a hot chocolate machine next to our Hello Kitty Microwave." She said jokingly. She really felt like joking around tonight, or maybe it was just the hot chocolate or coffee or night sky but she was extra happy tonight.

Stars are so beautiful. Thats all Dru could think about. She had made the mistake of drinking coffee at dinner and now she could sleep no matter how much she tried. Many of her siblings were up too but they just sulkted around, hidding in shadows and some sneaking out of camp via shadow travel. She being her typical Dru self had another plan. One Fire, following her with his smokey tail and chasing every little bug he could find, a tablet full of old war movies and all that was left was a order of hot chocolate and crackers from the mess hall.

Quiet nights always freaked her out, like she would turn around and boom there would be a harpey there waiting to eat her face but instead the only other soul she saw was when she got to the mess hall she saw a guy sitting at a table. She looked over, she knew the face but no name to match to it. She smiled a little as she watched a mug will with hot chocolate and looked back at him. He hadn't moved. Maybe he didn't hear or see her come in. It would make sense, Hades table was on the other side of the mess hall. She walked over to him, passing the hearth on the way, dropping a few marshmellows in before pouring the rest in her hot drink. The hearth always was so intresting for her. It was just any other fire but she could feel it, it felt different,powerful. It made sense though considering it was hesitas.

"You ar ebeing wastefull you know" Dru said, walking over to the guy and leaning on the table, taking a sip of her drink. She could see fire trying to play with the sparks flying off the hearth. Werid little ghost fox. Well, not any werider then that statement. "You really should eat your food." She Said, a small smile on her face. Black hoodie and a glum look on his face, you would have thought he was her sibling. "I'm Dru, and you are?"

Through countless of failures and brainstorming Dru decided her next tape was going to be used wisely, and much to Chirons joy, something to help the Camp. So for the next few days she would be spending at least 6 hours recording, doing interviews with some of the best of the camps fighters. That part, she loathed, dealing with arrogant stuck ups who thought they were everything, but she enjoyed days like this, where the sun was perfect for natural lighting as if Apollo was her whole lighting crew and where she stood in the back corner, no booms to worry about nor retakes, just pure uncut footage of the fighting. Of course some were bad and some were good, some of them gave her the chills thinking of ever being on the wrong end of a sword with them. Others she felt like a small slap could send them to the infirmary for a week.

Needless to say Dru was pretty content, as she moved around the area with her tripod, taking clips for most of the training going on. A few Apollo kids here, a lot of Ares kids, the rare Hephaestus kid testing a newly forged sword, only to watch it shatter against stone. It was also fun because being here for hours she saw peoples true side, the side they didn't cover when they were frustrated or joyous or any emotion other then the illusion they put up. She watched a Aphrodite get dirty and laugh around with others, a Ares kid show kindness to a new camper, a Athena kid look stumped and ask for help. Little things like that made her happy she could record it all, things slipped away too fast, sometimes it was nice to look back.

Dru noticed a few kids would shy away from her camera but she ignored them, it was their choice not to be video taped of course but there was no difference from her camera lens and her eyes, both held memories, and both saw past what was going on, only one required a charger and the other required sleep. Two of the same though. She didn't notice herself smiling as she propped the tripod against a far wall and flipped it on after angling it towards a fight between two clearly experienced fighters, leaning against the wall and letting it film her sights.
