What she was saying made sense, and he'd be lying if he said he didn't notice it too, to some degree. New Rome just... it not only felt bigger, it was bigger, and there was more to do. Camp Half-Blood was permanent, but it was built more or less as a rest stop for demigods and not as a place to found a life on. He wasn't entirely sure why that was; maybe the gods being more active on the Greek side made their children's lives more inherently dangerous, and so they just hadn't needed a place to found a life on.

But even as he puzzled her comments over, and nodded to agree with her conclusion, an idea began building in Ven's brain. She felt confined - well, no wonder, given her father and her powers, and now being cut off from those powers more or less.

"They just made a big deal out of the café because they wanted to do something nice for people after the attacks. But hey, I've got an idea. It's the same one that Aqua did for me." He paused a moment to make sure he had her attention, then went on. "You don't feel like you can get away from everyone here and what they think the camp and the world and everything should be, right? So let's set up a space for you that's yours and yours alone. We've got a lot of tents up on Jupiter roof, I'll bring one down and you can set it up in the woods somewhere or wherever you want that will get you the space you want. And we'll get Chiron to okay it and make it a rule that no one can go in it or disturb it. So whenever you need to just get away from everyone and drop some stress you can go there and do whatever you want for awhile and no one can interfere."
