"Protecting the campers at the cost of everyone beyond these walls. If given the opportunity I would happily give up this safety to see if there are any other legionnaires trapped out there, in need of us," Callie retorted, all these rules, all the restrictions. If they were to protect the safety of demigods they were already wrong. There are still demigods outside the camp, and the camp couldn't support more people. Not the way it is. "And the son of Demeter declared me 'holier than thou' based on the fact I find speaking through rainbows weird and that I did not find this camp my home. He's an idiot, and given his big focus on celebrating Cupid and Aphrodite instead of wanting to recover what is lost, he is better off here far from combat."

Trying to defend the thoughts and opinions of that Graecus ass wouldn't work. And everyone flocked to him like his touch was gold. His position on things were what was wrong.

"And he's also why I don't need to learn about their culture. This is a camp, not a city. They are children, not an army. They think that playing capture the flag makes them soldiers, and that being away from their family is a sacrifice!" There are tears in her eyes as she gets dangerously close to what the real meaning of sacrifice is. The real distinction between what she has lost and what he has given up, "The Greeks I do talk to, the ones that aren't assholes, are few and far between. And no amount of understanding why they do things will change that this isn't a city, this is a summer camp. And to fight Gaea and her Red Room, we would be acting, not waiting for permission from their leaders."

"And if you can't see the problem with this, I don't want you to vouch for me."
