"...If you want? I was limited in how much I could do on my own." Callie's not used to just... offers to help, but she can't exactly claim she could do all the work she wanted on her own. She honestly hoped that Nike didn't get around too much, so the cabin will stay relatively low population. And since it wasn't in honor of a God of Thieves, she'd be a little more comfortable with her stuff.

"Why do the Greeks bother, what's waiting for them if they make it?" In Camp Jupiter it was easy, it was part of why she felt... okay, she didn't really have much choice. In Juvie she'd have died to one of the many monsters there waiting for demigods who aren't protected by the Mists when things go wrong.

But once she got to Camp Jupiter there was something waiting after her time in the legion. Do her years of service, retire to New Rome, build a life for herself. It probably wouldn't be a very impressive life, but it'd be something her's. Finally being free of every other rule she had to abide by in her life. Here... there was nothing there, you get kicked to the mortal world with, what? You don't have a high school diploma, no money unless you have a parent waiting for you, no skills you can really shape your world with. What did the Greeks expect to come of their little... summer camp.
