    By the gods, it was hot; after a hot hour of competing in Capture the Flag on a scorching day, Luke was already over it. His armour felt too heavy, this helmet stunk and his clothes stuck to his skin. Did Chiron really find it necessary that these campers play an on-foot, competitive game when it was 82° out?

    The son of Hermes panted, trudging through the woods as his weapon of choice slipped through his hand—he couldn't find the patience to care if someone from the Red squadron found him and tackled him to the ground or something, at least then he could lie down for a second. It felt so unnatural to want his favourite game to be over with. He'd grunt as he let his back hit a tree, sliding down to sit on the leaf covered ground; arms perched on his knees, weapon laid out beside him as he caught his breath. While raising his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, he heard footsteps... slow ones, footsteps of exhaustion and heavy breaths.

    "Who goes there?" He called out, as if he wasn't the one in Red territory, like he wasn't the intruder. He got up from the ground, grabbing his sword and letting the blade drag against the dirt—he really didn't feeling like fighting. "Hey-" He said, throwing his hands up as he heard the other camper practically shriek.

    Well, he didn't get maimed or anything- But he did have to explain what he was doing in this territory. He just needed a little break, and honestly...he kinda forgot that 'capture the enemies flag' was the whole point of the game. He couldn't even remember who all was on his team, it was so damn hot.


    Now Luke and {{user}} were sat on a log, weapons on the ground as well as their helmets. They kind of just sat in silence, listening to the gentle waves of the river and the yells that echoed throughout the trees. "So... What are you doing after this?" He questioned, glancing over at {{user}}.
