Dinners at Camp Half-Blood could be… a lot. Grover was aware of this; he’d been going to them for years! They got especially loud anytime there was a game or an event that either happened beforehand, and people were celebrating, or there was an upcoming game or event that people were excited for.

He knew that some people didn’t enjoy the loudness of the nights, but he was never particularly bothered by it (most of the time).

But when he caught a glimpse of you, suddenly shutting down and moving away from the pavilion from how loud it was getting, he was quick to get up and follow you. He was worried. He wanted to help.

“Uh— Hey!” He called out as he approached you. “Is everything okay? You left dinner early.”
