Lydia sat down next to Genie and she eyed the basket full of strawberries. She already made up her mind that she wasn’t going to turn Genie over, even if the most she would possibly get would be a slap on wrist, but Lydia wasn’t sure if she wanted to enjoy of the strawberries. Because then, she would be partaking in a criminal activity that she was sent out to stop. Despite how much philosophers liked the grey area of morality, Lydia didn’t have the time to debate among herself, especially when Genie was asking her questions.
“Well..” Lydia started out, deciding to dodge the question of strawberries for the time being until she could make up her mind. “I’m the cabin counselor for the Dionysus cabin… the ones who tend to those strawberries that you helped yourself to.” She nodded her head towards the basket before she looked back up at Genie. “And I would assume that you’re an Hermes kid, but you mentioned machines. Are you a daughter of Hephaestus?”

Lydia pressed her lips together as the girl didn't hand over the basket of stolen goods. Instead, she continued her criminal actions and set up her little picnic even more. She pulled her arms back as she crossed her arms over her chest as she looked down at the girl and cocked an eyebrow at her. Was she trying to use psychology on her? The girl really was messing with the wrong Dionysus child.
"What if I do turn you in?" she asked as she eyed the thief. "I don't think you would look so calm in that situation." But as Lydia looked over the situation, did she really want to turn a cute girl into Chiron and her father? She slowly uncrossed her arms as she walked over to the girl who introduced herself as Genie. "I think I'll let you off with a warning. Next time, I won't be so lenient." She sat down from across Genie as she cocked an eyebrow at her. "I'm Lydia by the way."

Chocolate and sugar? Lydia thought to herself as she glanced over to the picnic basket that the girl had. It did sound very good, especially paired up with a sweet wine... But she had to shake her head to clear her mind of those thoughts. She was on a mission. Chiron didn't make her cabin counselor just so she could track down pretty girls and share strawberries with them. But the idea did sound very enticing.
Lydia cleared her throat as she stood up a little straighter. The girl might have been cute and almost bribing her with stolen property, but Lydia couldn't cave. Well, at least, not when she was on a mission. A mission to get those strawberries back. She shook her head. "I'm afraid I can't do that or allow you to do that." She stepped forward towards the girl as she held out her hands. "Just hand over the strawberries and I won't tell Chiron and Mr. D that you were the one raiding the fields."

There was a thief in their midst and the Dionysus cabin had been tasked with discovering who was doing it. Lydia was the head of the team, but it seemed like every lead they came up with a dead end. But this one seemed promising. So on this particular day, Lydia was lurking in the shadows as she tailed one girl. She wasn't an Hermes kid, but she managed to follow the girl pretty well to the amphitheater where she had a picnic basket full of their precious strawberries. Lydia narrowed her eyes at the girl as she stayed in the shadows until she crossed the line. She ate one of their strawberries.
Lydia stepped out of the shadows as she cleared her throat. "Excuse me," she said as she tried to sound as authoritative as possible. "That's camp propriety. Please hand it over."

This boy was being completely dense. Here she was completely ready to help him, because he needed it and he was completely ignoring it. Was there more that she could do to help him? Probably. Was she going to help him further? Not the slightest chance, since he seemed to be more interested in the other services she could provide, but wasn't offering. Lydia rolled her eyes as she slammed her book shut. She pulled her feet out of the water and shook them off a bit to dry them as she slipped her shoes back on.
"Unlucky for you," she snapped as she glared down at him. "I don't hook up with naked boys in the lake. And you don't get out of there, I'm gonna let Chiron know that someone is skinny dipping in board daylight." She rolled her eyes again as she stood up at the edge of the dock.

"They only come out if we somehow majorly screw up the harvest," Lydia said with bit of a shrug. "Why spend your time in the strawberry fields when you can be at the beach or the lake. I understand why they don't come out here. My cabin is the only one with obligations to here. It probably helps that our father runs the camp too." But Vincent looked like he wanted to help and even brought gloves. Lydia couldn't help but smile a bit as she shook her head. "Well, I was just pruning the bushes and seeing that the strawberry plants were still doing well." She turned on her heels as she waved him over. "I was working over. I just need to finish up this row and then my job here is done."

Oh I'm great. If Lydia didn't catch the slur or even the hint of sarcasm, she wouldn't believe the naked boy in front of her. And she could smell the alcohol reeking from him, even if the lake should've washed away the smell. She pursed her lips together as she kept leaning in towards the boy. He needed help and maybe Lydia could provide that for him. She wasn't the self-proclaimed cabin therapist after all. This boy was troubled and she would hate to see him do anything else stupid while he was in this mental state.
She looked at him as she tilted her head to the side to analyze him. She kept her eyes above his chest, since she was already quite aware that he was naked and she was not interested in what he was packing. She looked him in the eyes as she cocked an eyebrow at him. "Do you want to talk about it?" she asked. "I've heard that I'm a great listener."

Lydia was lost in her own little world that she didn't notice that someone had joined her on the dock. It was only when she flipped the page of her book that she heard the pounding of footsteps heading towards her. She looked over her shoulder to see what it was before her eyes widened. There was a boy. A naked boy. A very naked boy. She adverted her eyes and blushed a bit before she saw a bit of bare bum before there was a splash in the lake. Lydia didn't know if the boy had done a cannonball or belly flopped, but the splash was big enough that it got her wet and soaked her book.
She sat there and blinked a couple of times before she shook off the cold water and lifted her book off of her lap and tried to shake it somewhat dry. The Athena cabin would not be happy with her returning the book to them in this state. But the naked boy emerged from the water and had the nerve to talk to her and wink. He winked at her. Lydia just stared at him. Why kind of person went skinny dipping in the middle of the day?
But she saw his eyes. They were bloodshot and she got the feeling that he wasn't in his right mind. She didn't know whether to blame it on her Dionysus powers or her psychology knowledge, but Lydia somehow just knew. She leaned forward toward the man as she rested her elbows on her knees. "Are you alright?" she asked calmly as she looked at him.

Most girls went to the lake to swim or maybe sunbathe. Not Lydia. This was a new location that she could read her books. They weren't cute little romance romance novels or some fantasy fiction. No. Lydia liked to read textbooks and on topics like psychology and ethics. And on this particular day, she had a big ole textbook on the Freudian school of thought on psychoanalysis. But this was a bit of light reading for the Dionysus girl. She was out on the dock as she had her shoes off behind her and her toes dipping into the water. She was reading up on dream analysis during this outing. She had the book in her lap turned to the page as she leaned back on her hands. She quietly sat there as her eyes scanned over the words on the pages.

"Well if we go by that logic," Lydia had to argue. Debates of this sort of nature was something she enjoyed. "Then we would be technically disrupting the natural order of things. I mean, children of the Greek gods?" She smirked as she shook her head. Sometimes it was hard for her to comprehend what everything at camp really meant. She was a child of a god and one that ran the camp. It was pretty silly. "That just screams out 'disrupting natural order' to me."
"Fruit salad?" Lydia had to laugh. "It would be the most pathetic excuse of a fruit salad, unless you really liked strawberries and grapes. I would like a little bit of melon or cantaloupe in there myself before I would consider it a fruit salad. I still think your powers are much better."

"It's something that everyone expects us to do, I guess," Lydia said with a slight shrug. "I don't know why we're always wrangled into it when the Demeter kids are just as capable as us, maybe even more. I know there's things I rather do than spend up to hours around here tending to the strawberries, but my brothers just like to endlessly party and drink. So that's why they always want to get out of it." But Lydia smiled a bit as she tilted her head to the side. An Ares farmer boy? She'd heard of stranger things. "But if you want to join me, Vincent, I wouldn't mind the company and it would work go by a lot faster."

Lydia laughed as she shook her head. "Normal is a relative idea, but thanks. I try to act sane. I find that people tend to be weirded out if people start acting strange or unusual." Lydia liked to think she was normal or at least as normal she could be in a cabin full of partiers. That was the one thing she didn’t really get about her siblings. She didn’t know why they wanted to party all the time, but Lydia pushed that thought out of her mind. There was no reason why she wanted to think about that while talking to Chad.
She listened to him as he listed his powers. And to be honest, Lydia was a little bit jealous. She wanted wind and ice powers! She laughed and shook her head when he asked about her powers. “Mainly I can make grapes and strawberry plants,” she said as a slight smirk as she looked at him. “I’m trying to figure out how to make people insane for a little bit, but it’s something I haven’t quite mastered yet. But your powers definitely sound cooler.”

Lydia clasped her hands in her lap as she looked at Vincent. She was really hoping that he wouldn't let this experience affect him negatively. The worst thing he could possibly do is let one person's actions dictate his entire mood. She shook her head as he said he hoped he didn't disturbed her.
"Not as much as you think," she said with a bit of a shrug. "I was just checking on strawberry plants, which isn't as exciting as my siblings make it out to be. They just try to get out of it just as much as I want to." She smiled back at Vincent as he smiled at her. "You're welcome. Are you feeling any better?"

"Unique is a nice way of phrasing it," Lydia said as a slight smile crept onto her lips. "My siblings would call them crazy, but we're also children of a god of insanity." She laughed as she shook her head before moving to push her hair out of her face. She looked over at Chad as she smiled a bit more. "Nah," she said with slight chuckle. "I don't find that boring. You have wind powers, right? So you can make things move or maybe fly yourself? I know I would want to mess with Chiron and move all his furniture slightly to the left an inch. Just enough that it's not too noticeable, but enough that it would drive him insane bumping into things."

Lydia listened attentively as she slowly nodded her head before a slightly sad look grew on her face. She learned how to empathize very well, but it still broke her heart when she learned about romances gone wrong. From the sounds of it, it didn't even sound like they solidified anything. She, however, tried to remain neutral as she listened to his story.
"Some girls," she said as she straightened up as she tried to put some logic in his situation, "don't want to have one singular, committed relationship. Some people would like to explore their options before they pick one, if they ever pick one. But it really does suck that it happened to you." She gave him a gentle smile before she said, "I'm Lydia. It's nice to meet you Vincent."
