Mess Hall for Eating

Hadley walks in with her book and sees Jordan, "Hey. Tough day today?" she says as she walks up to him.

Kara quietly walked into the mess hall and grabbed some food before sitting down.

Hadley sees her and waves, "Kara over here!"

Kara look up and timidly walked over, trying not to drop her food.

Hadley smiles, "Jordan this is Kara. Kara, this is Jordan a son of Ares."

Jordan smiled and waved at Kara. "Tough day is one way of putting it." He said.

Hadley smiles, and in a really bad Russian accent she says, " Come little mamushka. Talk to mama."

Kara waved back and looked down.

Jordan chuckled. "Okay. First, never do that again." He paused. "I may be 14 but I'm not a small child. Second, I was training today when I ran into that one new girl, the Hestia kid. I was trying to teach her how to fight and things just didn't quite go well. Despite my best efforts, she gave up on herself."

Hadley sighs, "Yeah I've seen her around too. To be honest her demeanor doesn't surprise me considering who her mom is. So let me ask you this. Do you remember that Hannah girl from the Apollo cabin?"

Kara quietly ate her food.

"Maybe you should ask Justin if he does." Jordan said trailing off as you would when making assumptions. "I mean, what? Yeah, I know her, what about her?"

Hadley just smiles and shakes her head, "She wasn't a fighter either. She hated all violence, and guess what? She is out in the big city doing just fine. As a healer here she didn't need to fight. And neither does Carmon. Fighting is in your blood but that's who you are. You cant change people, but that's not to say that some don't need a push now and then. You gave her the push, but now its up to her what she does with that. See what I'm saying?"

Kara nodded in agreement.

Jordan nodded. "It's just dangerous out there and I want her to be well-equipped and at least know a little bit because it ain't all sunshine and rainbows beyond these walls.

(On a side note, I miss Hannah as, like a character.)

Hadley sighs, "Just because someone hates violence doesn't mean that they think everything is fine. Personally, I hate violence too, and part of that is because Ive seen first hand what it does to people." 

{I know. Maybe Ill reincarnate her on the other site. Or maybe even this one ;p}

"But you have magic and you're pretty damn good at it. Everyone needs some sort of skill they can use to keep themselves safe."

(With Justin being circumstantially single, doing it here might not be a bad idea )

Hadley sighs, "Yeah. But when I first came here I was terrified to use it. My power was used and abused by those I trusted and I could barely control it. Just give her time. When she's ready she'll talk."

{Though it could already be Carmon  }

"You might. Shes in Dike cabin." Zak said with a smirk

Jordan nodded. "I guess you're right. I just don't want people to be defenseless out there I guess..."

(Ehh. What's a little conflict of interest? Not like Justin hasn't dealt with that before Former flame or new love? It's such a cliché it almost needs to be part of Justin's ridiculous love life.)

Skylar walked into the mess hall and saw Jordan. She smiled at him and went to sit with him before seeing he was with someone. She then changed direction and sat at a table by herself

Kora chuckles, "I might have heard of her."
Hadley nods then turns and sees Skylar. "Hey do you know that girl?"
{Lol Aren't you sure he isn't a son of Aphrodite?}

Kara didn't want to interrupt and just looked down.

Jordan frowned a bit. "Skylar? Yeah. We're kinda dating right now, why?" He asked.

(Oh believe me, that's been brought up before. Let's not think about that though because that makes his relationship with Dawn a little weird.)

"Perhaps." Zak said holding her hand over the table
